1G Broken CV shaft or input shaft for tranny

[awdtsi_90]

This is the drivers side front shaft on a 1990 AWD Talon. From my memory when we pulled out the shaft to replace it there was a shaft that came out with it instead of being flat like in the pic. What could it be?

he actually told me to put fogger oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a few days before I do the oil change and see if she will fire up. I also need to switch the gm maf from the turbo pipe to the intake pipe next to the bov

To switch the MAF to the blow-through position, are you going to use the pipes from the Eclipse then?

 

[awdtsi_90]

am I able to use it in the location it is in?!? If so I will just get a filter for it and call that good. It should be able to right since the oem one is there anyways. My thought process. Im not sure tho.

Yes you can use it right where it is and just get a filter for it. That's how mine was. I thought you meant that you wanted to put the MAF in the same pipe that the blow-off valve is in, like it is on your Eclipse. But whatever! Yep, where it is now on your Talon is on the turbo compressor inlet and that's the stock position. "Draw through" it's usually called. On your Eclipse it is in "Blow through" position.

Ok awsome, I will get a filter for it and keep it there. I'm thinking the hks filter will work and fit. This one

Yes sorry. I just stated that because I thought thats where it had to go . That way I can get the car up and going quicker. Then down the road I can get the FMIC installed when i want more power and have time to do it.

Yeah I think it will unless the big diameter of the body runs into something.
They shouldn't call it a 3". It's an 80mm. The diagram they show on the Amazon page looks legit and it shows the ID like this:
ID: 80mm (3.15")
which should be ok.

The OD of the 3" GM MAF is 3.25 inches on the inlet and outlet.
So a rubber part with 3.15" ID will fit over that, will be tight, but mine was like that. Mine was either 79mm or 80mm on the ID. I haven't been able to look it up to verify (K&N). They don't seem to make the exact model anymore. I had a very thin smear of silicone grease on it to help it slip on, and it was very tight.
BTW the foam filters like the HKS work ok for a few years but after that you need to keep an eye on it if you don't change it. At some point they start to disintegrate and let chunks or little frags of the foam go into your engine! They are supposedly replaceable. HKS has a web page showing that and the suggested change intervals, here: https://hksusa.com/products/super-power-flow/132
They call the element a "3-layer dry type".

thank you for that info. I will not go will that. I will stick with a k&n. just gotta find one that will work as I don't have to much room for a filter

Is it the body diameter of the HKS that you don't like? Not sure what is bad about it.

Well, I could send you my old K&N which never got very dirty and is in perfect shape. It is a K&N model RC-3320. Darn K&N doesn't even show it anymore but Summit racing does ! as a "Not Available". True. Summit even shows a correct picture for it and correct dimensions in the "Overview" table. Wow. They show the ID of the rubber flange as 3.13 inches. Yup it was probably actually 3 and 1/8 inch (3.125") just like the current RU-3250.

The RU-3250 is the currently available model that is the same dimensionally as my old one. I think the only difference is my old one has a chrome metal end cap and the "RU" model has a black rubber end cap. You could look at the K&N page that shows all the dimensions and measure it up on your car. Here, look under "Specifications" : https://www.knfilters.com/ru-3250-universal-clamp-on-air-filter
I notice dealers are selling the RU-3250 for $75.

There could still be a fit problem just because the pipe from the GM MAF to the turbo is different, and that is part of the whole fit of everything. My pipe was one I had made custom by Dejon in 2008. It was like their "P" pipe but a little shorter to help things fit.
Here is the template I sent to John at Dejon to make this pipe to, and he did make it like this after one wrong try:

If the pipe you have in your car is longer than this, the filter fit might not work. I don't remember anymore what I was running into with a longer pipe.
I noticed your pipe is an "S" shape and mine just goes up at a 23 degree angle. Not sure which would work better in your car.

If needed I could send you the Dejon pipe too. It's painted steel. It's not rusty. The paint has some stains on it, that's all. I have all this stuff here in a box in the house, even the silicone rubber hoses and hose clamps.

Here's what my stuff looks like right now with the GM MAF attached, took this pic just now:

There is also a current model K&N that has a 3.25" diameter flange ID which should be really just right to go onto the GM MAF.
That is the model RU-1637. https://www.knfilters.com/ru-1637-universal-clamp-on-air-filter
I just now measured the round part of the GM MAF inlet OD at 3.27" (a few hairs bigger than 3 and a quarter)
So a 3.25" ID rubber flange would fit on that real nice.
This RU-1637 is just a half inch shorter and 3/4" fatter on the big end than the RU-3250 and RC-3320.
The inlet flange is not exactly centered. It's a little off to one side. They give a number for that offset.
Here's what that looks like:

That offset might be kind of a good thing. You could rotate it around to however it fits in the best.
The flange ID that is actually 3 and a quarter inches is the best part of it, because the 3 and an eighth IDs are a little hard to get on without damaging anything.
