Sorry this was just a test fit for the PS. I have the water pump pulley, just set aside. The first reply to this thread was correct and I've ordered the new belt. Thank you all for the help.
Hey bro trying to reach you as well , just bought a 97 GSX and looking for a mechanic

· 1,468 186,900So while waiting for parts, I'm also going to pull the turbo tonight and swap out the turbine housing for the 1.01ar housing on it and see what we gain from that.
Does anyone know proper procedure to do an EGR delete. I'm new to the forum and can't find anywhere? Also why is the 4g64 more sought out?
does anyone know what cams to use? will it need tuned? who supplies cams? what about head work?- I watched that immediately when I saw he posted. I miss his builds, absolute legend in my opinion.I wish him all the best and his family, heart breaking stuff. Hang in there Tom!
I know the "seals" are more like piston rings. With the 60-1 the problem went away though. I just felt like trying something else other than the holset right now. I just was seeing what would be close to the characteristics because I liked how it...
Yesterday's video was a tough one to watch. He struggled for sure.- He posted a second video yesterday and that was much harder to watch. He didn't appear to be like the Tom I remember; he was having a harder time reading from his notes. I loved all of his old content and enjoyed him coming out to the Shootout...

Nope. No RTV or anything of the sorts. We had my Melett chra and another turbo from them on a completely different platform do the exact thing that we sold so a customer at my job.

I've followed him forever and was both shocked and saddened when I watched the video. He's such a great guy and is so talented. Watching his DSM and other projects were great.Of course, best wishes to him and his family.
- Hope you don't mind if I move this thread to the Hangout Jason.
You don't happen to use RTV on any of the drain fittings do you?There aren't really "seals" per say to go bad, if it's leaking on different cores, there's a problem elsewhere. A brand new turbo will leak oil if there's a restriction.
It looks like only one pulley is present on the water pump when there should be two.-
I haven't seen anyone mention it but a long time DSMer Tom Tharp (Tom's Turbo Garage) released a video stating he's been diagnosed with a brain tumorYou must be registered to see element.

My original holset has been on the car over 10 years no issues with the same combo. My car barely drives. It doesn't see rain or bad weather at all lol. I replaced everything surrounding the turbo also. I did a leak down and compression test and...
It's not so much a different ECU connector as it is additional wires going to it and the changes you have to make to the wiring harness in the engine bay to support the turbo engine. Your car being a 90 does add to the process, hopefully the new...
Your problem honestly could be as simple as the oil drain, Holsets need a bigger oil drain or they’ll smoke. Lots of info on the subject on this forum. Morrison has a very good bolt-on solution to address it.
Give this a read as wellYou must be registered to see element.
Not in the original aspect no, the non machined caliper will still need the Evo based wheel type.However some people have asked to reduce the wheel ET some so i am working on a rotor bell that is 5mm taller resulting in the rotor sitting 5mm...
