hey, I got a JDM engine I bought from sunrise auto the receipt says it fits 91-94 dsm's but before they said it fits all 1g's, so anyway I bought a 1990 TSI shell and the wiring harnesses are different, 91-94 doesn't match the car, 1990 doesn't match the engine. I need help deciding exactly what engine I have because obviosly sunrise auto doesn't know. 6 bolt or 7 bolt? it has a red valve cover and yellow top injectors coma with tranny, transfer case and turbo/all accessories with 30k miles. What type engine do I have? the oilpan does not indent like the 7 bolt but my friend says it still is a 7 bolt, I'm confused as hell, any answers?
 
dude look i apologized for jumping the gun, how about we just leave it at that. i can brag about how my mirage will smoke your dsm, but that is not my job here. sorry that my comment was a little overboard, but i'm not going to kiss anyone's ass to get along. once again my bad for jumping the gun on dude's comment about the 6/7bolt thing and talking about 420a guys car. also those numbers my talon put down were on 3 cylinders, true story. i'll save that for pm's if you want to know.:thumb:

No one is asking you to kiss anyones ass. At the same time, you dont have to treat people like shit. If you dont like what was said, move on to the next thread.

oh i see this is that kind of forumLOL you can insult what you think are new guys, but if the new guy insults(lets say) vet member you can get banned. sorry you think i'm a moron or an idiot, i've had fast dsm's before it's nothing new. btw no need to :beatentodeath: i will stay out the forums because i don't have enough posts to become a wiseman.:p

No one should be insulting anyone else regarless of what you do or dont know. The amount of fast cars or dsm's you have owned has nothing to do with your ability to help the community. If you dont want to help, dont post.

Your post count has nothing to do with being a wiseman either. It has to do with how helpful and knowledgeable you are. With less than 200 posts in the amount of time you have been here, you just havent put forth enough effort to help people in the same manner as a wiseman. Therefore, of course, you arent wiseman material. If you are as knowledgeable as you claim, why dont you try to be helpful instead of being an asshole. Dont expect me or anyone else to have any respect for you if you are going to be derogatory and not prove yourself.

you are right, like i said things got alittle out of hand and let's move forward like toyota(no pun intended):thumb:
 
Well, I didn't read all the posts, but the 6 bolt was from 89 to around May of 92. After that they were 7 bolt engines. The crank shaft end where the flywheel bolts on tells it all. It either has 6 bolt holes or 7 bolt holes. After going to Mitsu school and they didn't tell me the layout differences there either I bought an engine for my 92 which turned out to be a 7 bolt. Oh, well live and learn. BTW, it's been a good reliable trouble free engine.

Good Luck
 
you know what's even funnier is the fact you own a turbo 420a.:thumb:

Your a f'n dumb ass! :thumb: Another jack ass protesting "turbo'ing a NT is wrong". What a flippin moron. Keep your insults to yourself. If you don't like 420A's, thats your own problem. I chose a 420A over a 4g63 for a reason. Probably why you chose to drop a 4g63 in a colt. I don't approve of that but you don't see me bitching, now do you?

ROFL dude i apologized for talking shit to you, but if you were closer i wouldn't mind showing you what a 4g63t mirage could do compared to a turbo 420a.:thumb: dude don't take it so seriously, my friend had a turbo 420a i helped him put together. we took it too the track and he ran a 14.9-15.0's all night. i have respect for the 420a but from the money standpoint it's better to go wiht the 4g63t.
 
This should get locked.

I think it has gotten back under control for now. Even as old as it is, it shouldnt get locked, it should just be moved to dead end threads.

When you are in the Richmond, VA area, stop by and I will show you what a fast dsm really is. Me and a friend converted his colt to awd 4g63t. Its currently pulled apart getting a makeover but will be back up and running by spring.:sneaky:
