What did you do to your DSM today?

[19Eclipse90]

My opinion, Marty - nothing of consequence. They look the same enough to me.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Thanks Brian. Something told me you would have the experience to give a good reply.
Much appreciated!
If anyone else wants to chime in, please do.
Marty

Ok, thanks to all of you that looked at those pictures. I grabbed the one without cams but haven't done anything more than bring it inside and hose it with WD40.
Here is a question to anyone that wants to reply, what is the difference in the following 2 heads? One has varnish and the rockers are laying around in it but the other (the "2.0L" head) is complete, with no tossed rockers, so does anyone know the difference in these 2? The varnished one is a G6 the other, complete one says "2.0L".
Thanks in advance.
Marty

Marty, if my memory serves me right, different year/generation, as much as I know at least there are 3 (maybe 4) different 6 bolt heads. There is slight differences on oiling and cooling but technically they work the same.

Thanks Hiroshi, these all came from random ex-dsmer's so it was all just a crap shoot.
I sure appreciate the reply!
Marty

Just grabbed a 3G booster and brake master cylinder to improve the brake power for the brembo CTS -V 4 calipers

This is the head on 6-bolt that I took out of the 92 Laser that was a hand me down. Since I didn't own it from new I can't establish it's provenance but there's a good chance it's original.

Did some maintenance stuff today, oil change, new belts, fuel filter, PCV and air filter. Power steering belt was looking pretty rough.

Found the issue of my body hanress now i have to figure out the haltech setup for my fuses.

 

[TerminalTalon]

There’s a bit of trimming involved but it just might work. Does anyone have any gripes with that and a 90 elbow towards the 1GB side inlet?

Picked up an Autool CT160 injector testing/cleaner and tested my injectors before installing them, they sat for about 18 months so I'd rather not gamble with a brand new engine.

1 is flowing slightly more than the other but it's within tolerance.

Changed out the ignition switch in the Colt; the start position contact was shot.

Got my 90s shitbox all re-timed and running after a pulley came loose. Kids were excited!

Yay! I'm super happy for the kids!
I'm glad it wasn't too bad, that's for sure!

Continued to dye the interior, soldered resistors inline with the the new 4 ohm speakers so I can use the factory head unit. Replaced the speakers. Structural adhesive the dash so i don't see any more yellow foam. Dyed and replace the knee panel and finally put the clips bought from Brian C. in. Repaired and re-dye the left door panel.

With the help of the community figured out where two panes went. Cleaned the valve cover to to repaint the red DOHC 2000 and the ECI Multi lettering. Repaired the knee heater vent. Taped off and dyed the dash pad. And got really excited on how good the spark plug wire cover I bought from DSM Part-out was. Just waiting for the right bolts from STM Tuned! Almost back to stock!

Test fit some new to me side skirts. Old school Extreme Dimensions they’re super straight and sturdy. I feel like the twisties are lacking now that I have the 2gb front on. They just need a little love and paint

Helped my buddy get the trans in his 1ga Talon. We got the motor in two weeks ago but this New York weather has been all over the place

And threw a fluidampr on mine. Highly recommend it to anyone it made a night and day difference on my car. Engine used to lug a bit from 2-4k and on/off throttle. Both are pretty much gone and I don’t feel the motor chop as much from the interior even tho I can still hear it chopping from the exhaust. Shouldn’t have waited so long to get one

Installed an air cooled oil filter housing and had no oil pressure. I removed the housing last night and found out that it didnt have the relief piston or spring in it at all. Installed as piston and spring from my old housing and go it back on. Hopefully fire it up in the next couple days and have oil pressure

Currently has a Walbro 535 in the fuel cell, I bought a Magnafuel 750 to go on it instead but I'm kinda leaning towards mechanical now.

First outing won't be trying to make a lot of power so I might just leave the 535 for the time being.

 

[92AWDHX40]

More wiring the haltech next ic7 wiring.

Did some CAD(cardboard aided design) for my new catch pan.

I rebuilt my NT throttle body with new seals, polished throttle plate, re-plated parts, etc. Then I installed it on my motor and realized I forgot to peen the screws in the throttle shaft. So now I have to order a new gasket then take it off to peen the screws and put it back on. Such is life.

Looks good why not analog mechanical oil pressure gauge to run an stainless steel braided line


Not I'm enjoying seeing everyone else projects and ideas for mine

Have checked it with mechanical at home at idle, 10psi as normal, but aems simple, looks good, simple to install and ive never had bad experience with them. Plus they look decent and i appreciate the numbers over trying to glance where a needle is depending on the day, and im not pushing the car hard enough on streets to worry that much, just want a warning to pull over before I send it from a red light. I run a aem map sensor and boost gauge, and they line up wonderfully according to my logs so feels good enough to trust their oil sensor as well.
