Been a while since I've asked anything since I sadly left the DSM projects behind me. I do have a Mighty Max I'm building for a friend and got a piston question. I'm using a 4g64 6-bolt block, with a 2g head. I bought 2g spyder gs pistons and rods a year ago maybe and I knew they fit. However...

I kinda feel like a noob asking about this, but going to anyway. I haven't touched this engine in about 2 years now after loosing the shell it was going to go in. I had issues back then, and now that it's been sitting so long and everything is definitely settled, it's still wrong.The timing...

Does anyone know what crank sensor to use with this Kiggly kit?https://www.kigglyracing.com/product-page/2-tooth-6-bolt-4g63-crank-trigger-sensor

I'm in need of some 2G GST axle specs. I need to know diameter of the splined end of the axle cups, and overall length of each axle. I don't have the proper tools to measure the diameter unfortunately.

So, for a while now, whenever the AC is on, my car (non-DSM) makes a weird growling, metal on metal sound. It goes away when the AC is shut off. Simple enough, or so I thought. I replaced my AC compressor, and got it recharged today. Prior to this, my AC still pumped cold air. My entire...

I'm playing with ideas for engine bay color. Just want to see what all some of you have done with splashes of color, what you used (paint or powder coat). Post all the pics....

Does this regional area cover Reno and Carson City area? I couldn't find anywhere that covered those cities.

I'm in progress of building my 95 GSX for road racing. I found a nice 2.5 mile road race track a couple hours away, so it has encouraged me to replan aspects of my car. I do want to occasionally drive it on the street, or drive it to work (1.5 hr drive one way), but the main focus will be for...

I just got a new FuelLab fuel filter and have been trying to decide where to mount it. I can't put it in the oem location, and want it elsewhere anyway so the fuel line isn't bunched up. Does it matter if the filter is oriented straight up like the owm filter or positiones down on it's side...

I'm finally starting to do my wire tuck and got to my front O2S. I noticed this braided wire running along the other 4, but it wasn't connected to the plug. What needs to be done here for this? I do plan on getting new plug connectors soon, so none are broken, so if it needs to be attached...

I'm looking for a forward facing 6 bolt OFH that has the ports for an external oil cooler. Do these even exist? I have a normal side facing OFH with the cooler ports, and now a forward facing OFH, but it doesn't have those ports. As asked, does it exist?

Forgive the noob question, but should AN fittings in this location have o-rings or crush washers like pictured? No idea why these are here, but thought there should be o-rings.

I need to know what the thread size is for this water port on the main water pipe. It's a 1G pipe I'm using in my 6 bolt setup.Thanks

I'm currently building up my 6 bolt w/ 2G head combo. My old oem cams were shot due to bearing failure on the old engine that made its way into the head. I'm now looking for new upgraded cams and just needed so ideas for springs. I had my cyl head completely cleaned and the machine shop did...

I'm looking to get Link soon(ish) and I was on their website looking for operating system requirements. What would be the best laptop/tablet I could use for the program? I know a lot about cars, but I suck when it comes to computers and software. I wouldn't mind a compatible tablet, since I...

I need a bit of help. I've removed the radio from my car since I only really ever use my ipod and phone for music. I've been told I need to get an amp so that I can continue to do this without a radio unit installed. Only thing is I don't know sh!t about audio equipment minus installing speakers...

In the not too distant future from now, I plan on rebuilding some of my A/C lines. The lines aren't damaged, but they pose another problem. They're an eye-sore. I have begun work on tucking my engine bay and hiding all the components that take away from what I want it to look like. The A/C lines...

I guess I'll throw this in here since it would indeed be a custom fabricated end result. I did some searching, found nothing for a 2G turbo model. I want to relocate my cruise control system, the under hood portion. The vacuum and electrical parts should be easy to deal with. However, I want to...

I will be soon doing a wire tuck on my car. I have the engine and trans back in for mock up purposes to get lengths and overall figure out how I want to run all the wires. I know many have to be cut down or extended. Can I go a gauge bigger on wires that may be brittle due to age and don't know...

Anyone have thoughts on what would cause the PCB on the gauge cluster to blow out? I built my LED board and hooked it up the way I always have, and the flexible PCB smoked and burnt up in a couple spots. My LEDs still work, but the PCB is shot. No idea why, except maybe too many LEDs, but they...

I'm still searching for an answer to this, but haven't found anything yet. I have a 97+ manual transmission going into my gsx, but have a set of 96 axles. I pulled the C-clip off to see if the axle would spline into the trans, or go in period. It does, and it slides in and out fine, but for some...

Will a non-turbo gauge cluster function in a GSX? I have a cluster from a 99 GS, and due to things I've eliminating from the car, I was just wondering this. I can't try this myself since my GSX is torn apart, or I would. The speedo appears to be the same on both clusters, I know the tach...

I'm having an issue finding the proper fitting that I want for my turbo oil feed line. I've read that the OFH thread is 3/8 BSPT and the fitting on the oil line is 1/4 NPT. Either I'm not finding the one I want, or I'm too dumb to realize I found it but don't know it. I want a straight fitting...

A couple years ago when I had my last spyder, I removed the radio at one point because it was causing a parasitic draw and killing my battery. I instead built a wire harness with a headphone jack on one side for my ipod, and a connector on the other to plug into the radio harness so I could use...

1 set of green Twisty side skirts. They are almost in perfect condition. Paint is good, only problems are the tip of the door cap piece on the passenger side was torn when I got the car due to misalignment of the fender. I removed the piece so it wouldn't get worse or lost. Only other spot was...

I have for sale 1 full set of red 2GB Talon side strake moldings. They are in perfect condition minus the paint. They came to me in this condition, and will likewise leave the same. All the clip holders are in great condition. No cracks, chips, or any other damage on these parts. No clips...

Selling some parts to clear out space.Please read entire post before asking questions, I do get tired of always being asked something I stated here already.All items are OBO unless otherwise specified. Buyer pays Shipping & PayPal fees. Paypal or cash only.Local pick up ONLY for bumpers...

I can't seem to find circuit diagrams for these type of LEDs. I need to know how they get wired up and what type of resistors they require. I want to change my LED gauge and hvac setups but my research for these has stopped. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a new, never installed 7 bolt JE piston set. Only one piston has been unwrapped for picture purposes. Had them for a while, but never got around to using them, no longer have a 7 bolt engine. I've seen them listed for a few different prices ranging from $550- $710 depending on the vendor...

For those of you who have tubed your front frames, how di you transfer measurements from the core support to metal work to hang the headlights and rest of the parts on the core support?

I need some advice/input on my situation. I really don't know what to search for since there's a lot going on here. So, I decided to install my 6 bolt short block I to my 96 TSi. Still used the 2g head, drilled the head bolt holes to 12mm, have a green top 1g CAS, built my adapter harness for...

Tomorrow, Thursday, I'm putting in my 6 bolt short block. My current 7 bolt developed rod knock so I have to do this to continue using the car since my drive to work is going to be increasing drastically as far as distance. I currently have an FP 68HTA turbo with tubular manifold and full turbo...

I haven't seen this asked anywhere, but can we use bolts to install the exhaust manifold instead of the studs? I get that the studs are probably used just to keep the threads in the head from being stripped, but why wouldn't the intake side also use studs? Only asking since I have 2 broken studs...

I'm just looking for clarification to my issue. I've searched, things are similar, but of course, nothing can ever be the same. So here's the issue. Monday morning on my way to work, my radio started acting weird and shutting itself off. Didn't notice any potential causes, other than it started...

I'm not really sure if this should go here, but it sorta makes sense to me. I just bought Ace Hardware parts to build my own manual boost controller based on this diagram...My parts...How can I determine how much to shorten my compression spring? I don't want to cut it too much and then...

I'm getting a bit tired of waiting for someone to get things ready to have my car brought to them to paint. There's always something new that comes up and "gets in the way". I have seen plenty of members here with their garage built paint booths, and I am wanting to do the same. I know how to...

Currently, my talon has a knock off 16g that has been progressively failing for the last 2 years. I don't drive on the highway since the car will get up to 70mph and then hesitate to go faster, but bog a little once pushed past that speed. I'm pretty sure the turbo is the root problem. I have...

I have a set of 1G front AWD axles. Don't know if they're for auto or manual. Good condition. $100+shipping.

Are 2G rear knuckle/spindles the same between FWD & AWD.

I had to change my throw out bearing maybe 2 months ago and decided to try out a different clutch while I had the trans out. I had an ACT 6 puck unsprung disc in the car which I really liked, and put in a 4 puck sprung disc. It wasn't new, but had more friction material than the 6 puck so I...

This last Friday I went to the store after work and my talon drove fine. When I left, it barely ran, had a horrible time trying to idle, and could barely build enough power to drive up a hill. When I got home, I found the vac line to my fuel pressure regulator had popped off. I reconnected it...

For those of you who have removed the rear quarter windows on a 2G, how did you do it without breaking them? I know it'd be wise to have a spare set before removing them, but I'd have to remove those too, so if I can get one set removed, I won't need to worry about a back up. My GSX shell is...

Where can I buy solid bushings for the front subframe? 2G AWD if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I'm in the process of building a new engine for my gsx, 6 bolt with 2g head. I want HKS camshafts, but I guess they're discontinued... sadly. So, what's the next best quality/performance cam brand?

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to build a reliable, good quality lighting setup for my HVAC controls. I’ve tried many ways with various size LEDs, LED strips, and other things. I was never satisfied because I had to sacrifice the reliability or usability. I finally had an idea before my wife...

So tonight I polished up the DNP badge plate on my exhaust manifold. I was intending on polishing the entire manifold, but then thought about rust. Does anyone know for sure what steel these manifolds are made from? Is it an anti-corrosion coating I just pulled off? Or can I continue without worry?

I haven't seen anything in the search function because for some reason, the search isn't working for me. However, I want to see pictures of people's OFH setups with cooler lines and oil pressure sensors, ect... I'm building a new 6 bolt for my Talon and my current 7 bolt has an adapter plate...

I've had this problem just like so many others over the years and with most of the DSMs I've owned. However, it's usually a level sender issue, and now I'm not sure what part is the problem. Normally, my low lever light comes on when there's 1/4 left in the tank, according to the gauge and I've...

Since this last weekend, I've been hearing an odd ticking/knocking sort of sound, but only during a limited range of rpms. It happens between 2500 and 4000 rpms, mostly in 1st and 2nd, but kind of faint through the rest of the gears. It's faint, but there. I haven't done anything to the car...
