Really basic question that I can't find a definitive answer to, perhaps because it's gen/model-specific. On my '92 Talon TSi AWD, to loosen the alternator so I can replace the belt, there are 3 bolts. 2 are to adjust the tension and I know where those are.The third is to loosen the alt's pivot...

I'm about to replace all the timing-"associated" parts on my '92 Talon TSi AWD, e.g. TB, BB, pulleys, tensioner, WP, seals, belts, thermostat, etc., and realized that it's probably time to replace the harmonic balancer as well. It was replaced after the original one failed just over 18 years...

I took my Talon out for a short drive the other day, still gingerly testing out my recent trans rebuild. Everything went fine and I thought it was time to get it on the highway, if only briefly. One exit, and it performed fine through all forward gears. A bit under a mile from home, though...

Self-explanatory. I'm about to replace the TB, BB & 3 accessory belts along with all the pulleys, tensioners and water pump. All OEM except the BB, which is Gates Racing, and WP, which is Aisin. OEM is pretty expensive and Aisin is not, but highly rated.I'm using the upgraded OEM kevlar belt...

When I bought my '92 Talon TSi I had a local security and sound system shop install what was then a fairly sophisticated alarm and remote system, by Clifford IIRC. I disconnected it years ago because of false alarms in the middle of the night and its draining the battery, but IIRC it had motion...

When I'm done rebuilding and reinstalling the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD, I intend to disassemble most of the rear suspension and driveline components in order to replace the 4 control arm ball joints and bushings, 2 sway bar bushings and link connectors, and 3 rear diff seals, as well...

Yep, yet another thread asking about which parts to get for a complete timing belt job. I'm currently in the final stages of rebuilding the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD and when it's done I'm going to tackle the TB job. I'll be replacing everything, both belts, idlers, tensioners, front...

So I got my stacks reassembled with new parts and did the solder method yesterday, but many of the measured values seemed way off. Then I realized that I might have done it wrong.What I did was first install all new or removed bottom (closest to clutch/engine/bellhousing) races into the case...

There's an oil (or possibly steering fluid) leak around the oil pan near the driver's side area. I'm not sure if it's the pan seal, oil cooler, pump or something else. I cleaned everything earlier this year and the car only has a few hundred miles on it since, so it's a fair-sized leak that I...

Once I'm done rebuilding the trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual and take care of clutch and shifter slop issues, I intend to swap out some rear end suspension parts, specifically all 4 ball joints, the sway bar links and the sway bar and control arm bushings (I already rebuilt the strut...

So I finally got around to dropping the trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD and took it apart. To my novice eyes it looks to be in good condition, no broken gears, forks or pieces of metal or major shavings, maybe a few tiny case slivers that might have been caused by taking it apart. It needs a good...

As many here know I've been restoring my sub-78k miles manual trans '92 Talon TSi AWD for some time now, and it's finally time to fix the trans, the main issue being its popping out of 1st gear most of the time. I replaced the clutch last year, with a SBC Stage 2 DD kit, with the intention of...

So I have a 1G 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Fwd. I’ve been trying to figure out fuel problems. But usually when your working with fuel the car with crank. Just not turn over. I have a video of the sound it makes when you try to turn the key to start the car. I’m trying to find the fuel presssure...

hello, I have read through a lot of post about idle surge, but my test are not bringing me to isolate the cause.This is the first time this engine has ran after a full rebuild. The CAMs are: Intake 264 and Exh 272 HKS.The ECM is 92 AWD 4G63T (stock)The IAC is new (replaced) and the TPS...

Hello, I haven't posted on the forums for something like 9 years. I just started getting back into the scene again. I drove the car at least once or twice a month and kept the battery on a tender to make sure when I did want to drive, I could. I have been having a lot of fun and recently wanted...

Hey guys, I've recently got my copy of ecmlink along with the ecu. I've read through all the instructions. I've set my 3" gm maf, my 580cc injectors. My original ecu I had before switching the car would idle high on first start up then as it warms up it would gradually come down and settle at...

I am finally joining the community I’ve been watching for so long. It’s taken me over 20 years to write this, so I apologize in advance for the length that I’m sure will follow. Also, I hope it’s not premature as I still don’t have a bunch of luxury money to throw at this as I would like. But...

I recently broke off my driver side door handle on my 1g. And after a lot of searching online I realised that there are very few driver side 1g door handles available to me, but there are lots for 2gs. Which look fairly similar, so would a 2g door handle fit in a 1g , and also would those really...

I'm taking the winter off time to research various tasks I'll have to perform on my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual come spring (way too cold to do anything serious on the car for me right now, especially with an 18" blizzard about to hit tonight and temps in the teens).One is figuring out whether to...

First thanks to everyone who's chimed in with tips and advice to help me diagnose and fix the various issues with my clutch system and trans. It's helped a lot even though there are still issues yet to be resolved (through no fault of anyone but myself and the fact that there are so many of...

The saga continues. After replacing the clutch and reinstalling the trans recently, I tested it out last week and the car would go into gear and go forward and reverse, fairly smoothly. This was only in a driveway for a few feet either way, but there were no issues getting it into gear or...

I took some photos of my installed new SBC Stage 2 DD pressure plate and clutch, and it looks like the disc might be out radial alignment. Thing is that I was able to reinstall the trans, which you'd think would be impossible as it would put the dowel pins and bolt holes out of alignment too. Is...

I was going to take apart the transmission on my '92 Talon TSi AWD to fix an issue where it pops out of 1st gear, but for a number of reasons I have to put that off for a while, from a few weeks to several months, next spring at the latest. Meanwhile I drained its oil, along with the t-case oil...

Question, I am needing to rebuild the rear differential in my '90 AWD 5spd talon. Can I drive my car with the rear differential removed, if I also remove the axles, driveshaft and transfer case with no issues?I am having driveline vibration at speeds +60 while in 5th gear. I rebuilt the rear...

I'm about to replace the front struts on my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual, and am a bit uncertain as to what else needs to be replaced. I know that it's good practice to also replace the mounts, bellows and bumps, and have purchased all of these. They're all KYB btw, GR-2.These comes with new top...

So I've been making a lot of progress on my '92 Talon TSi manual rebuild, and am finally ready to drop the transmission to replace the clutch, clean things up and fix a transmission issue. I've got all the front end suspension and subframe components out, except for the front crossmember, which...

I'm replacing the clutch and fixing transmission issues on my '92 Talon TSi AWD, which requires detaching or removing some front end suspension parts, e.g. control arms, CV axles, etc. I figured I might as well remove everything, given how dirty and rusty they are and it's so much easier to...

I'm taking apart the front suspension members on my '92 Talon TSi AWD to derust and paint them, and looking at the strut assemblies, there appears to be an unsafe amount of rust damage on both sides and I want to get peoples' opinion on whether I need to replace the ASAP or if it can wait a...

I'm about to drop the trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD to replace the clutch and fix a shifting issue. The car is parked in a driveway with the passenger side pretty close to a wall, around 18-24", enough room for me to remove the wheel and work on the knuckle and everything else there, but still a...

After all the positive reviews I came across I decided to get a South Bend Clutch clutch kit for my '92 Talon TSi AWD to replace the generic one that's in it now and no longer working. I was all set to order the Stage 1 daily driver since my car is stock and I have no near-term plans to mod it...

Hi, I'm fairly new here so I hope this isn't inappropriate or too long, but I'm about to order a bunch of parts for my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual (build date May 1992), with around 79k miles on it (yes you read that right), and wanted to make sure they're right for the job. If anyone cares to...

I recently bought a 1991 Eagle talon tsi awd, originally auto but previous owner swapped a manual trans in it and didn’t finish, i ran into the NSS problem and wont turnover only clicks, I’ve looked through forums and service manual but cant find how the plug for the NSS looks like, and if...

My 1990 Eclipse GSX won’t go into any gear when I try and shift, so the car has been immobile. It will only go into reverse but will grind so I pull back into neutral. It did not do this when I first got the car but after I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder (I did this because it...

Anyone ever buy STM brake lines? Is this supposed to replace all brake lines or just the ones going to the caliper? It seems like its all the brake lines that run from the caliper to the brake proportioning valve. But obviously not the lines that will run all the way to the rear of the car. If...

Good afternoon everyone. I'm looking for a oil filter housing for my 1992 talon that has a 6 bolt motor. I have a spare but it looks like it's for a 7 bolt so it wont work. Let me know. Thanks.

Hello everybody, I just picked up a 1G DSM. It's a 1990 1.8 Manual Base Model. I've been trying to get it to run but the fuel pump is not turning on. There's not even power at the fuel pump connector. So I followed some of the things the forum said, and it brought me back to MFI relay. The relay...

Alright, so I have an opportunity to pick up a high mileage 4gcs from a local junk yard for cheap. The plan would be to turn it into a 2.2L long rod destroker. I currently have a built 2.0L 6 bolt that I could easily yank the crank and timing components off of, but the question becomes what to...

I just put back my dsm back on the road after about 2 years of being under a knife. I have successfully did 4 wheel evo brembo swap on all 4 corners and during that time and my exhaust completely has rusted awey. I will tell you more the muffler completely has fallen off. I was so excited to...

The problem: My new-to-me 91 Talon won't defrost the driver's side of the windshield.Will someone please post a diagram or pics of how a 1G DSM's hvac ducts should look under the dash? The heat works, and the passenger's side of the windshield will defrost, so I figure I'm missing one or more...

Just a quick heads up, I really don't know anything about the backstory of my 91 talon tsi and its engine. I'm a teen that just bought his first car and don't know too much about engines in general.Engine was rebuilt and has 150000kms on it. I'll check over the receipts and find out what...
