    1G IDLE SURGE and the ISC isn't the problem??

    Alright here's the problem...I have been having an idle surge issue when the car warms up ONLY. I thought it was a bad ISC EVEN THOUGH the ISC tested out fine.I bought a NEW OEM ISC and installed it....SAME PROBLEM. When the ISC is unplugged, the car idles at 1200. This is WITH THE BISS...

    Compressor Surge and Shaft Play...

    I had a compressor surge issue while under boost. The turbo had the normal side/side shaft play but had some in/out play as well.I decided to rebuild the turbo (it is a TD05-20g)....the journal bearings had grooves in them and the thrust plate was grooved around the center. Would this...

    1G Cutting out under boost??

    My problem arises when I am under boost. When under normal driving conditions, the car runs and drives just fine.When I am building boost, the car will stutter and the BOV will go off repeatedly until I let off the gas.It SEEMS like fuel cut, but it isn't. I almost guarantee that...

    ISC doesn't move with ignition on. Need a new one??

    I have a black plastic ISC. Coils test out fine at 38 across each coil. This isn't a problem. I have been having idle surge once the car is warmed up (only when warmed up) and so I decided to pull the ISC out.After pulling it out, I had my wife turn the ignition on and the plunger doesn't...

    Idle surge ONLY after warmed up. Causes??

    This is the complete opposite from idle surge issues I have had in the past. Before, I would get surge when it was cold but once it warmed up it would go away. This time, it idles just fine until the temp gauge is almost to the middle of the gauge.Once it warms up, the idle bounces between...

    Idle Surge ONCE AGAIN. What could it be??

    Had the car sitting for about 4 months to do some work to it. I put in a 3 inch GM MAF, new turbo, turbo manifold, replaced TB shaft seals, put in the black top ISC instead of the 90 ISC with the built in pigtail.ISC is fine. I blocked off the FIAV. EGR is blocked off with a plate. TPS...

    How to use this wastegate gasket?

    This is a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyways. I bought some stainless steel gaskets for my 38mm external wastegate.They are flat, except for in the middle they are raised up. This raised portion faces the wastegate right (will sit against the valve seat)? Also, I am worried if...

    Need help QUICK, can this radiator CORE be fixed???

    I was drilling out some spot welds and drilled too far on one of them and the drill bit punched part of the radiator core. Do I have to buy an entire new radiator or is there something I can do to fix this???? Any ideas? This is practically a brand new aluminum radiator.

    Plastidipped my car.

    I was joking with a couple friends of mine before that I was going to paint my Talon with Plastidip. After thinking about it, I really decided to give it a try. Plastidip was the same thing I used for the center section of the bumper on my 2008 Lancer and it has held up remarkably well. No...

    I ordered a set of Avid billet mounts for my 1g from ExtremePSI. I want to make sure I have the correct ones that I ordered but I'm not sure how to tell.I ordered the 72A stiffness and the urethane feels like it is foam. It doesn't have a rubbery texture, which I find weird. These mounts...
