Talon runs normal hit 3k runs like crap then would act normal. Pulled plugs cly 2 smells like gas...doing a leakdown test and checking the wires in a lil hopefully be able to roll out with it soon..pulling the injector as well might be leaking.

Are the plugs gapped correctly? I would check plus and wires, mine did that with plugs not gapped correct

its the head gasket or head. Did a cyl leakage test and when I tested 2 air came out of
3and 1 so back to the drawing board. Pull it and take it in.

dam Chris i feel ## pain.. my GSX has rod knock.. time for a tear down and stroke...

 

[Ghost_92TSi]

yea debating of building the head a lil but it would probally be overkill for a evoIII and a stock bottom end...

No too much! My car is running great. I fixed an exhaust leak this morning and I've got a new set of spark plugs (BR7ES) and new axle seal (mine got damaged during the LSD install and has a small leak) on the way. I'm going to swing by and check out Luis's 1g tomorrow and hopefully we will be able to figure out what's going on with it. Then I'm going to the track on Friday to see if I can get used to the LSD ('cause it feels way different then the open diff) and hopefully improve my 60' times.

Good news and bad news from last week. Good news: I went over to Luis and Alan's and we figured out his problem, it was the fuel injectors. His 1g is running now for the first time in a year Bad news: I went to the track and my clutch is slipping in every gear. I finally surpassed the limits of the ACT 2100. I ordered a South Bend TZ/FE disk, South Bend "SS" pressure plate, an ACT Streetlite flywheel (the Kevlar disk doesn't play well with my aluminum Fidanza flywheel), and an OEM throwout bearing and clutch fork.

So I pulled my trans today... my clutch is toast. But the new one should be here in a few days.

Lets not forget that this clutch has probably close to 100 drag passes on it, 6 years of street driving, and 1 season of autox.

 

[sek_phok]

What type of clutch did you get?

What type of clutch did you get?

I went with a South Bend TZ/FE (Kevlar/Feramic Dual Friction) disk with a South Bend "SS" pressure plate.

So guys this is going to me one of my projects that im going to hopefully start sometime next year! My dads old sc300. Its been sitting for almost ten years like this in his garage. He said hes going to fix it but i know thats not gonna happen so im just going to take it into my own hands. It currently has no engine in it but it works out cause i plan on getting a 2jzgte with auto trans(manuals are really rare) and have it as a sleeper DD Its going to be alot of work but worth it i think

for the small pic sorry guys but you can still kinda see it i hope

 

[Alan11]

Nate thanks for the injectors man.. The 1g is finally running. We already drove it around the bock. It still needs some work but it will come all together slowly. THANKS a LOT MAN... Another DSM has been saved ...

Anyone knows who can port my 2G exhaust manifold and o2 Housing..????

Serg, what clutch did you end up going with? Did you get it installed yet? I'm 100 miles into the break in. I'm hoping to be done and at the track by Friday.

Here it is installed:

Not a DSM but still cool! How's the 2g?

No problem man! I'm glad I was able to help, sometime you just need a fresh set of eyes. This makes me excited too! This city needs more 1gs driving around!

My 2g manifold is currently unported. I have a die grinder on my Christmas list and then next time I pull the turbo (hopefully to install a 7 cm housing) I'm going to port the crap out of it myself.

It should be here tomarrow finally...it really sux driveing to places with a mest up clutch...specially when hondas and other cars try to race me ...im just wishing I see them again when its all fix up and I was a little tight on cash so I got myself a stage 2 cc clutch its not the best one but its also not the worst one but it will do the job since my gst is all stock
