I have followed every instruction I can find, even check vfaq. I didn't have any problem removing the axle nut, the 2 ball joints and pulling the hub off thr axle. I took the plate off the frame to give me more room for the pry bar. Now the darn axle would not pry out of the tranny. Help or any good suggestion I will appreciate. Thanks again

I feel somewhat bad now after reading through this thread, as I just finished changing a lot of things asked in here, such as head gasket, valve cover, timing stuff, etc. I basically pulled everything but the block from the car.

Sorry guys.

Cold air intake for 4g63 2g.

now I could be wrong I really have not seen a cold air intake for the eclipse turbos other than a custom one you fabricate on your own see if this helps http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html I did it on my gst and I can tell the difference. Its about a days work with the proper tools and 2 if you dont have all of the tools. Like I said I could really feel the difference on the horse power of the car and specially under fl wheather where it gets extremely hot but this mod should help out try it and good luck hope this helps

I'd like to see an article on 2G ABS hydraulic pumps:

• Are all 2G ABS pumps interchangeable?
• Are there any other cars that use the same ABS pump as the 2G?
• Can the pump motor be repaired, e.g. does it use a thermal fuse that can be replaced?

A picture walk-through of a complete vacuum hose reduction and misc. other things not really needed in the engine bay would be nice. Something similar to taboospeedshop's diagram, but with some underhood pics and a little more explanation.

The newbies installation guide for airfilter, cold air intake system (with pipe) or something that the newbies like to do when they got their first DSM to increase performance. do you still remember your feeling when you were no nothing about how to install air intake (with pipe) or replace your spark plug with a high performance product. I couldn't find it on this web. Maybe you guy are like pro... but for me just the beginning... so I needed some.

I'm not a noob when it comes to tuning, but as it stands now, I really don't know much about the DSM's. I own a 1g 1.8, and there really isn't much about them on the site (or on the web for that matter) in regards to tuning the 1.8. I know there isn't much for an aftermarket for the 4g37, but there has to be SOMETHING you can do to make it a bit faster besides intake and exhaust.

Can you add a troubleshooting section to the Tech Guides?
My fingers are becoming programmed to type the same thing over and over again... it'll be easier to provide a link.
Something like..

HowTo: Troubleshoot Overheating
HowTo: Troubleshoot Sputtering/Misfire/Stumbling under boost
Howto: Give the cat a bath
etc. etc.
