    6G72 using 4G63 clutch/flywheel

    So my ACT 2600 + PP will work with the factory flywheel then?

    6G72 using 4G63 clutch/flywheel

    As the title states, I'm wondering if I can use the 4G63 7 bolt flywheel and a FWD clutch/pressure plate in a 6G72. I didn't know where else to ask this, and cannot find an answer somewhere else on the internet. From what I've seen they both have similar designs. If anyone has any insight on...

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    Turns out that I had the front calipers reversed :ohdamn: went ahead, swapped em, rebled them, and all is 100% great again. Sad how these little things are so overlooked.Side question to end it, if the clutch doesn't engage after I turn left, that means I have crank walk starting right?

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    Went ahead and picked up a cheap one man brake bleeder kit from harbor and freight. Had someone watch the line to make sure nothing was getting sucked back into the caliper or that any air got in there. Bled two whole cans of 32 oz. dot 3 synthetic brake fluid across all 4 calipers. The fluid...

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    The level is dropping when I bleed them and there is fluid squirting amount. I meant when the car is off and all the bleeders are closed, I pump the brakes (car being either on or off) and the fluid level will not drop no matter how many times I do that. But Hm, alright I will go back at it...

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    Like I said I'm not able to bleed the rears cause the bleeders are broken off in there. So jus the fronts are being bled (I know for sure properly). The level in the reservoir does not drop though no matter how long I hit the brakes for car running or not. I'm guessing master cylinder then...

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    How would the master have gotten damaged? And if it was the master that failed, wouldn't there be no resistance when the car is off as well as it being on and running?

    2G No brakes after gsx upgrade

    I finally got my car streetable after swapping the engine, and everything worked great and 100% including the brakes. The next day the opportunity came up to grab GSX rotors and calipers, so I jumped on it, and spent 4 hours hammering away to get the old rusted OEM GST rotors off. I even...

    Resolved Grinding starter

    Solved. Turns out it was the wire going from my power steering reservoir into the alternator that was hitting the radiator fan.... :ohdamn::ohdamn::banghead:

    Resolved Grinding starter

    When I pulled the bell housing off the block, I didn't realize it was holding the starter on so it kind of fell roughly 2 feet into solid cement. Might that have done it?

    Resolved Grinding starter

    So I pulled off the whole tranny, threw on a lightweight fidenza flywheel and a the 2g fwd starter plate, and the thing is still grinding. The first time I turned the car over it sounded like it disengaged after about a second of the car being off. After that, the second and third times it...

    Timing Belt B Tension

    Thanks. The previous owner of the engine did an awful job caring for it and its scaring me since its in my car now. The oil pump was off a tooth for timing, and the old BS pulley was so loose i could spin the pulley without moving the belt.
  13. Araesk

    Timing Belt B Tension

    That's for the main timing belt tensioner pulley. This is for the Balance shaft pulley, so the tensioning is different. I'm running gates on the BS pulley and Idler pulley (they happen to make the OEM timing parts as of right now as far as I know). The main tensioner pulley I ordered OEM from...

    Timing Belt B Tension

    I'm looking for other more experienced DSMer input on the tension of my balance shaft belt. The last time I did the belt, i ended up making too loose and the teeth got shredded off the belt. This time around I took a flathead to it to pry it up, and now the bolt is in the bottom right hand...

    Resolved Grinding starter

    I'm just trying to visualize how to take it off. So: jack the car up, take off the upper ball joint nuts, drop the knuckles, undo the spindle nuts, pop out the half shafts, drop the lower skid plate and front motor mount, disconnect the electrical systems and the shifter cables, then support the...

    Resolved Grinding starter

    Yeah I ran over to a local guy i gave my old block to and grabbed the plate off of it. There is 1 10mm that bolts behind the flywheel, and the rest pivots on the front dowel pin the block has. I am really just trying to avoid pulling the whole tranny, clutch, and flywheel off. I mean If there's...

    Resolved Grinding starter

    Is it possible since I'm FWD if I pop out the passenger side half shaft and slide the tranny off the block, and be able to squeeze the new plate in? Or could I just take the corner for the starter plate (cut out a section where the starter mount and the two closest bolt holes) and just mount...

    Resolved Grinding starter

    So awhile back I spun a rod bearing, and decided I'd stick with my love/hate DSM and try to get her back up and running. I bought a 1G engine that was supposedly rebuilt with ACL racing bearings, ARP head studs, and a honed block with new piston rings. I learned when mounting the 2g bellhousing...

    WTB Working 7-bolt long block

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    Well as fate would have it, the one thing I am conservative on to avoid ends up breaking and I'd have to fix it somehow. Rod bearing on rod 3 is fried. Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltzaNY0fn_s&feature=youtu.beIn the video you can see at this time that the counterweight...

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    The last picture I'm for sure 100% it's scratches. I'm planning on taking the caps off tomorrow so I'll be able to see the bearings and get to the heart of this issue.2gSpyder I don't think tubs or I will be able to make highway this weekend either for the most part unless something changes...

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    Finally had time to finish off that last bolt and got around to taking some pictures of the finds. From what I see right now there are no gouges in the crank or rods, so I will be checking for play tomorrow. As for my finds for the night though, just some metal shavings getting stored up in the...

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    Quick update, will toss up pictures ater. Things I've noticed so far. Pulled the valve cover and Jb weld was still in place and none broke off. Next the turbo has more shaft play in it before, enough to hit the sides of the turbine housing, but that's only up and down play. There was oil twisted...

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    I don't want to risk turning it over to find out honestly. Rather just dissect and pray it's a bearing... Guess these engines can't even hold 10psi huh? What rice buckets.

    Knock Knock. Who's there? Knock.

    I'll check the timing marks when I rotate it to TDC. I redid the belt over winter, but it was running fine so I don't get why it would slip randomly. And especially when I was only at about 2.5k rpm's rolling into first at 5mph's and not at boost. I had compression done on my pistons back on the...

    Well I don't quite know where to begin. All I know is I'm knocking now and hearing the engine do it is killing me.

    looking for 2g interior

    I got a set of gray cloth seats (fronts and back) lying around I have no use for and they're just taking up unnecessary space in my garage if you care. There are no flaws, tears, or anything with them. Could just slap the black and red leather covers on them to match the theme.

    Differences in 95 ISC and Black Revised

    I'll test out to see if the old isc is opening at all tomorrow and report back. In the meanwhile looks like I got some serious reading up to do on all the intake components and how they work. Thank you for the responses and I'll report back tomorrow night with the update!

    Differences in 95 ISC and Black Revised

    I tried to adjust the idle, but no matter what i set the idle to, over time the car would still slowly die out. (The whole all the way in and 2 full turns out didn't really work, nor any amount of turns out after that).As for the coils, that's what I was referring to when I said I was testing...

    Differences in 95 ISC and Black Revised

    I had the P0505 code for IAC, so while my car was out of commission for winter I figured I'd pick up a new one. Well I happened to pick up a black revised ISC, and popped it in to see if it would work. I turned that car on, and after it starts up, it climbs to about 2500 RPM's, then drops down...

    97 eclipse GST enthusiast build

    Which gauges are those? Reverse glow off of eBay? I'm loving the build though the car looks mint and I'm jealous my gst didn't come that clean. I looking forward to seeing more progress!

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    If anyone was wondering its because the crankshaft and oil sprocket need to be 1.5 teeth behind the timing mark so that when the belt gets tensioned they spin to the proper timing marks. Go figure it was another little note that I neglected to read (just like my when I was redoing my gauge...

    Any DSMers out at HWY 100 Milwaukee cruise

    Restoring Side Swiped 97 Eagle Talon Tsi to 400 WHP

    That's actually the first thing we did. :D We got the car back to his place. and stripped it down almost instantly. Since he was with me when I did mine, he was familiar with the whole process and wanted to weld his own. So I brought over my 16GA. sheet metal that I had left from when I did...

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    Another update: Turns out I learned why you get rid of that long screw special tool when installing hydrolic tensioner.So I ran into a little problem... again. The Balance shaft timing marks for TDC will not be exactly on. It is either ahead or behind of the mark. When I spun the BS to...

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    Thats not going to be how I check it. That's just verification. I'm going to get a drill bit and try to see what I can and cannot get into the gap of theauto tensioner to get the first check if its.proper or not.

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    I think its the idea that if you fudge anything up it could possibly bend some valves/destroy some piston heads is the main thing. I will agree its real simple, people (including myself) make it into a monster greater than what it really is. I'll just belt deflection check at the end to be...

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    New O-ring and WP gasket. I never fully understand what is meant by that tensioner pulley and how it'll allow for the auto tensioner to slide freely, but I figure that's one of those things you just got to do to fully understand what's meant.Quick side questions. I noticed the new pulleys do...

    A couple (more) timing questions...

    I'm just awfully paranoid and pessimistic is all so that's why I want to be able to change it should it be required. Everything is still at TDC and when it spins, I count how many complete revolutions. I'm confident in my ability, just paranoid. I have Jay's tools. All I have left to do is put...

    Car chugging at idle, I almost died.

    I think before anyone goes telling anyone to go buying knew stuff, they should know everything about how it works and not that it's just a good product. Because I would have just blown an extra $200 dollars on something I didn't need. But then again I should thank you. If it wasn't for your...

    The fpr was from a n/t 2g eclipse, and it ran fine after I installed it with boost (It ook it for a test drive and everything was good). I'll go ahead and order a new one here soon and go ahead and check out the pressure. I'll report back again after tonight's diagnostics run and post how they...

    Car chugging at idle, I almost died.

    Yeah then the coils are fine, I read it could be those so I checked em last night.The Fuel pressure was perfectly fine before so I do not understand why it wouldn't be working all of a sudden, especially after just some boost.I'll try hooking up my remote jumper to see if the car will run...
