Man. Late to the show! But yeah, there's not much more to add. There's a ton of knowledge already up lol. If you're local to me, hit me up. I track with a group that's great to run with. First event is April 3rd! Feel free to PM for details.

agreed...you'll be fine.

: When you say you "crushed' your old HLAs what do you mean by that? Is it possible you may have bent a valve(s) and/or jumped time on the timing belt? Both scenarios would cause a ticking sound due to the valve hitting the piston top :dsm:I went to the track and when I ran, on my...

O.k. I went to the track and crushed a couple of lifters, no biggie, they were old anyways. So I put the big bores in, after I bled them down as told by jackson auto, I put them in and THEY tick. I know they have to pump up and all, But i've driven them for a while now and they still make noise...

i understand.....but what width am i looking for. i have several blocks laying around the house, and if i had a measurement to go off of that would help. :dsm:

please elaborate on "wide bolt '63". what year cars do these come in? whats the measurement to determine if it's a wide bolt or not? please keep the info coming. i need to find out as much as possible. :dsm:

whats involved with that swap. i've been interested in doing it for a while, and now that my 2g is pretty much done i think it's time to do it. what has to happen with the water lines and all. are the mounts available? if so through who? what about the tranny. i've heard that you can use the...

i'm having the same type problem with my car. here's my deal. i have a 90 six bolt fully built, with manly valve train and HKS 272's. the bottom end is .020" over with ross racing 8.3:1 compression pistons, moly rings, eagle rods with arp everything. t-4 turbo at 15 psi with 550's ans 3" mas and...

i put the sportlines on my car and it's pretty low. i got 17's on it so theres still some gap, but minimal, no rubbing. i have those with the tokiko hp, which suck. they blew really quick. so now i'm saving for koni yellows to put the skunk 2 coilovers i have on. so we'll see how that goes. :cool:

well...after the batt. started to spit acid all over the inside of my car....i replaced the alt. with a new bosch one from pep-boys. 185 dollars later....the car runs fine. lifetime warranty on it too. :thumb:

yeah i figured it was the reg. but since it is intermittent, i thought MAYBE it was a loose connection but it was just a hope. thanks all. i guess i need to price one out. thanks again :dsm:

i was driving home last night when my abs light starting flashing so i'm like WTF . i looked at my turbo timer and it was showing 18 volts! i pull over and start checking everything and nothing is out of order visually. i get back in the car and it was showing 11 volts, and the batt and brake...

i've been getting the same thing. while i'm driving, the cars fine but when i shift, and get back on it i get a little puff of blueish whitish smoke, and if i engine brake up to a light i get a plume of smoke rolling past the car. also i noticed that if the car is idling at about 1k, where the...

1st design...i'll take 2. one for the door :D

what about a 2g with a 6 bolt swap and 272's? at idle which is like 1k, i have like ten or a little less on the timing cover. or do i have to try and get the idle down to 750?

how much metal can come off the head when milling it? i just got my head back from the machine shop and they said they took 3-4 thousandths off. now, i've heard that you can't take ANY metal off the head. cleaning the deck is required but thats it. if they milled to much off...i will be very...

make sure that the rad. fan relays are good. if they go, the car will overheat, and crack the jet valves, which is a throw back to emissons experimenting from the late 70's and early 80's. that was my first turbo car and my first mitsu. i loved that car and intend on getting another one. from...

yeah i mounted the coils last night in the garage. I'll put up a pic when i get the chance. i'll just have to lengthen the coil pack wiring harness, but thats no big deal. i already know where i'll mount the ign. module, so we'll see how it turns out. It sucks i gotta use the 2g TB, but for...

sorry, i didn't know i was being scored on grammatical correctness, but if it makes you happy....I have already swapped back to the 2g tb. That will be good enough for break in, until i have the money to buy another TB. The one i had was a 89-90, so that does it for that. As for the coils, I...

yes it's a tbi set up with 2 injectors. 1 primary and 1 secondary injector. the problem that is related to this setup is that you get pooling in the bottom of the intake manifold, because some of the spray pattern washes down the throat of the intake plenum and sits there at the bottom, giving...

i used to have an 88 starion and it was a real fun though it was an a/t car. and from what i understand their trannies bolt to a 4G...i'm trying to find one myself. just with that kinda mileage it's probably worth it. just make sure the cooling system is in good repair. they tend to burn out fan...

i got the cam angle one done ...but i'm looking to find the wiring for the 1g coil packs in a 2g car. the coils i have that i'm going to use have a four wire plug, so i need to convert it over. along with the tps with the other vacuum throttle body (89-90?) set up. i'm not running egr, so is it...

what are the re-wires for the tps and the ignition on a 6 bolt in a 98?....i have to figure this out and i can't find the info anywhere....any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jesse

OOOHhhhhh.....so i shouldn't have put the 2g girdle in my six bolt.....that explains why i had to cut off some of the sides on the bearings.......

i like this board too much to reply to that nonsense

listen, i understand that doesn't sound good, but it was just a question. thats why these forums are here to ask and learn. i since bought new cams of the hks variety and i am going to get the head line bored. the whole reason i'm going through this madness is because i just spent a long time...

i totally understand the whole cam caps are mated with their head thing, i'm totally with that. and i wish they hadn't gotten mixed up but they have. what about this. i know this sounds bad but just think about it first. go cap by cap, seeing which ones are tight and which ones work, and the...

what the hell are the numbers on the cap?...is there any way to locate cam caps from the head you have if they got all mixed up while you were moving a long distance with other caps from other heads. the number on the cap i'm refering to is not the location code i.e.: I-1 through I-5 and...

how much boost/h.p. can the factory headgasket take? i need to get my car on the road very badly, i had a cometic, with only 140 miles but i know once it's crushed thats it. any info would be greatly appreciated. :dsm:

at a shop i used to work at we turbo'd the 6 cyl like 3 years ago, and we couldn't keep rods in the thing. we even added a filter relocator, and like 6 1/2 quarts of oil and we still kept blowing rod bearings.....everything we had in the car had to be custom made, including the pistons. the...

ripp modifications makes a supercharger for the 3g's, along with stratus's, galant four cylinders, camry four cylinders and tiburons......don't know if thats exactly what you were thinking..... :dsm:

check out rippmods.com, they started making supercharger kits for the 3g eclipse, galant, and lancer, i know it's not a real dsm but they are supercharged, with vortec s-trim compressors....i know it's a 3g and all, but they move pretty good with these kits

mine walked on the way home for thanksgiving. sucks when you're driving from N.C. to N.Y.C...luckily i hadn't gone far. the night before it happened, i heard some ticking out of my engine bay that at the eime i thought was detonation, so i turned the afc up a little. so now i'm doing a 6 bolt...

dude i'd totally debadge....i took off all badges....even the tri-diamond on the front bumper......you are absolutely correct in the whole respect thing...if people see the badge they back off...or if they're brave they try something....the whole deal in my eyes is to trick that mustang into...

dude...i'm having the same problem....i have a 98 gsx....when i start the car and let it idle it sounds like a rotary.....if i get hard on boost or try to have fun the car misfires and just does not act right.....and if i stay in it, the car dies out.....like it passes out.....and if i'm rolling...

o.k...so my car is acting strange....when boosting it'll go to the prescribed 15 psi for a couple of seconds and then fall to about 10 or 11.....but on the highway it will sustain boost longer....????:confused: :confused: now i'm thinking that my wastegate is cracked....i already replaced the...

ooooooOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh

well if this isn't the proper place to put this thread i apologize,...just didn't know where else to put it, thanks for the help though

if this is a repost i apologise...it's just that really need to get that ticking gone.....people look at me as if my car is about to explode....then it does....off the line :laugh:

alright now i know that these cars are notorius for that top end tap, and i know that if i replace them with factory replacements it's just a matter of time...does anyone have any ideas on what to do to quiet them down..i've heard going to a solid lifter should quiet them, though i'm not sure if...
