  1. 1G Kiggly Girdle

    Wow, old thread. Sorry. Yes, he barely removed any material at all, and I really liked that. He made enough of a pass to put a crosshatch on the mains and everything was even. The reason why the line hone was used was to prep the mains for new bearings. If you're replacing your bearings the...
  2. 1G New Head, Valves Not Seating..

    On the theory that's out of the question, can you explain to me how replacing the same sized valves and cutting new valve seats brings them back up to the correct install height?Edit: Oops, wrong guy.edged1g: I read this whole thread and missed that one sentence. Having never seen the...
  3. 1G New Head, Valves Not Seating..

    Take your cams out and perform the same test. I would bet that your valve install height is wrong for your cams. Not your spring install height. That may very well be wrong... but the valve install height.Each time you have a valve job performed, if you didn't install a larger valve than...
  4. Updated: Ported and polished my head

    Awesome! Thankyousir! BTW... It's 3:46 AM in BadLands, NJ.
  5. Updated: Ported and polished my head

    This thread is Jafro approved! :thumb: ...and I should be asleep.Very nice work Boost97gst! All of the advice here is spot-on. Especially nitrouskris' comments. Bowl work IS more valuable than any sort of polishing. Especially on the intake side. From what I see, you're doing it right...
  6. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    The mods are out of control. There's no reason I would have ever wanted to be in a 149 page thread full of every starting problem that any DSMer has ever had. Sorry for you stuckinkaos, but your problem isn't the only one in here.You have either a seizing bearing, failing alternator, failing...
  7. Jafro's Birthday

    LOL! OMG. Taylor, you crazy. But in a good way.Thanx peoples! I've been in the garage all night. I'll keep making videos as long as I have something to post about. I guess 4 DSMs means I'll be doing it for a while! Hyundai video coming soon. Just in time to fail state inspection. :P
  8. 4G63T Head oil port mod

    Me? I don't deserve any credit. I'm just a parrot with a $5,000 camera. I did what I did because people here told me how to do it. All thanks go to BogusSVO.But thank you for the concise follow-up of your results. That's the kind of data that really helps others.
  9. Pushing coolant, no exhaust gas in thermostat housing.

    Oh yes, absolutely. If you're driving, they do enough [wired backwards] to prevent air from even flowing through the radiator. It will make your car only overheat when it's moving. It's exactly backwards from what happens when they don't work at all.Normally when you start overheating...
  10. Pushing coolant, no exhaust gas in thermostat housing.

    Here is my bet...Coolant overflow system failure.The purpose of the overflow bottle is to catch the excess coolant that escapes once it expands from heat. Once the temperature of the coolant system drops and the coolant contracts, it's supposed to suck the coolant from the overflow...
  11. 11.30 @ 117 14b! Quickest AWD no nitrous stock turbo run to date!

    I now have intense hope for my stock-DSM-turbo'd + stock 10.2:1 NA 6-bolt Hyundai Elantra (used the small chamber 1.6L head). 1.8L NA cams. 1g FWD turbo transmission. The car cost $0 + spare parts. It's running low 13's without tuning capability and with major traction problems. I'm only...
  12. Eric the Car Guy

    Hey! Thanks guys!
  13. Dipstick Dip Stick popped, popping, blow, blowing, blew out [Merged]

    Well, it's not a good thing, I'll tell you that.Most likely it's a clogged PCV valve, but it could be worn out rings or valve stem seals. Every time a cylinder goes boom, something's not keeping all the boom in. The boom is ending up in your crankcase and it's more of a boom than your...
  14. 1990 Eagle Talon Sleeper

    Look at the camber change on that front wheel during launch. It's no wonder it smoked. It looks like 3° of positive camber by the time you lifted that tire (based off the angle of the horizon). Because you did... that was full-travel. You got a full-squat and spun the fronts from lack...
  15. 1990 Eagle Talon TSI

    Hahahah! Yay Monster can!
  16. what do you think? polished cylinder head

    Nice work! How far around it did you go?The longer you spend sanding, the less time you'll spend polishing. I took mine to 1200 grit before breaking out the polishing wheels. It's important to protect the steel parts of the head like the oil gallery plugs, valve seats, studs, etc... when...
  17. The worst block I have ever surfaced!!

    Just when you thought you'd seen everything. I just... I don't even... I mean...
  18. 4G63T Head oil port mod

    Bogus... Go read the comments on it. I don't ever forget talent. Also check the Deck Tech 103 video. I tried to clear it with you before I posted it to see if you had input about this, but it probably got lost in the flood of private messages you receive.I noticed the G6S and G6K heads...
  19. Very Low Clutch Pedal ACT2600

    No mention here of the flywheel being machined.The ACT clutch needs a .610" step height. The factory step height is shallower than this. So in order for you to get your clutch to fully disengage properly, you're having to mash the pedal farther to disengage it. A shim can help, but it's a...
  20. Does this 2g mani look ported?

    That one's not cracked, but it's on its way. They all crack. Eventually.That divider has a crack extending all the way to the runner, and as it heats and cools, it works like a muscle and eventually cracks through the outer housing. Looking at the outer housing, it's not cracked yet...
  21. Oil Problem

    Places oil can get into the intake/exhaust from... and burn...Turbo shaft seals Crankcase breather system valve stem seals rings bottom-center exhaust manifold stud....yes, the stud. The stud leaks oil. Yes it does. It shares space with an oil return passage.One of the outside studs...
  22. ECU claiming 19.1 AFR, Motor idling normal though

    I've had a similar issue before. I spent 2 years tuning for 14.7:1 because I didn't set the values for my 550cc injectors in DSMlink by right+clicking the A/F value and entering my injector size. I was using a 2003 PowerBook with v2, and failed to Control+click (that trackpad only had one...
  23. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    Have you checked the firing order since swapping the pins? If you have air and spark, timing is all that's left. I have faith that your mechanical timing is correct. If you're using the 1g cas, is it the square plug or triangle plug?
  24. Tranny bolt BIG problem

    To OP and anyone else that ever reads this for help: This is NOT a good idea. There is only one circumstance where leaving a trans bolt out is acceptable, and that's using a 2g tranny on a 6-bolt block. One hole will never line up in that situation, but otherwise you must have all of them in...
  25. 1990 Eagle Talon Sleeper

    Man... wow... Your photos are amazing and your description is far better than what I've gone through so far in my videos. You're very thorough. This is QUALITY work my friend.
  26. block-fitting size for turbo coolant on the 7-bolt?

    Really? I heard without cooling a Mitsu turbo that thermal expansion causes the 270° bearing to open up like old faithful, spewing oil everywhere. It sounded plausible to me... but I'm not Mythbusters. I will admit I wasn't speaking from my own experience.I would not run that turbo...
  27. block-fitting size for turbo coolant on the 7-bolt?

    BSP and BSPT are really odd-ball sizes that you will not find in auto parts stores or home depot. It will take a specialty supply or machine shop's contracted supplier to come up with a BSPT fitting. If the hole is the one that came with the block, that's what it is. Actually, you'll still...
  28. Jafro's crankwalked 7-bolt [1080 HD] Merry X-mas!

    No, I thank all of YOU. It takes an enthusiast to keep a DSM running nowadays, and you're all doing what I love. Each and every one of you in your own way. If that weren't so, what are you doing here in a DSM forum?It's mitsubishi enthusiasts who taught me everything I know. What I missed...
  29. What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

    Johnny Carson doesn't have $#¡† on you. There's no app for this.Way to go man!
  30. DSMs going up in price?

    I would DEFINITELY say that's the case with my 2g. I could probably sell it crankwalked as it sits right now with spares for well over $9k because everbody knows what it's made of inside-&-out. I'm in it for the long haul, though. I'm never selling this thing.They won't be worth anything...
  31. Jafro's crankwalked 7-bolt [1080 HD] Merry X-mas!

    No worries! I've got it all covered. 'been sitting on a spare 6-bolt for 6 years just in case this ever happened. It's a blessing in disguise.Many of you have seen my videos. I post a ridiculous number of videos about the DSMs I love breaking so much. I wanted to post what my...
  32. DIY Testing and Cleaning DSM Fuel Injectors...

    I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing this. Perhaps I should have paid more attention over the years. You'll see I don't post much... but I thought a moderator had to move it to the tech articles, or pre-qualify it... Can I just post tech articles?Also, thanks guys. I knew lots of...
  33. DIY Testing and Cleaning DSM Fuel Injectors...

    For a little less than the cost of getting your injectors cleaned and balanced, you can make a tool that lets you clean all the injectors you want. You won't get feedback about how "balanced" they are... but if they were balanced to begin with, what's throwing them off? Right.Thanks to...
  34. boost/vacumm leak test

    :DYou left out this one...YouTube - Boost Leak Testing 201: Using the tool.This is one test you can't do enough on a boosted car. It's critical to all other aspects of its tune. The gauge really DOES help. You get instant feedback about the health of your intake, and if you've...
  35. Need Help Installing a stage 4 XTD Clutch/PP/Flywheel

    No problemo! I've got plenty more on the way! :DOh... here's the rest of the series... for anyone else that may stumble upon this thread...YouTube - Trans & Clutch Part 7 - AWD FluidsYouTube - Trans & Clutch Part 8 - Adjust the Clutch;)
  36. My fuse box relocation (project log)

    Meh... Turbosax proved it can be done. Mine arrived without 2 of the brackets which had been lopped off to fit whatever car it used to be on. That may have limited my install options.Either way, even if the airflow is more obstructed by the shape of the 2ga bumper, if you have those...
  37. My fuse box relocation (project log)

    LOLI inadvertently used the same oil cooler (except mine's the 619 series, not the 625)! It's a flippin' phenomenal unit! Haven't had a problem at all with it and it's been on there for 45,000 miles. I really like where the EVO IX OF housing put the filter vs. where it is on my EVO III...
  38. Best gauges?

    I want to rescind my prior assessment of EGT gauges.If you have a 6-bolt in a 2g with solid mounts, cams, no balance shafts and no crank trigger (lots of vibration)... an EGT gauge is a great idea for when your CAS bolts vibrate loose and spin that thing off its axis retarding your timing and...
  39. Magnus SMIM and PCV?

    Sorry I missed this...Here's a screenshot from a video of what it looks like today. I've got tech videos posted of what I did to my valve cover to prevent excess oil blow-by, making -AN hoses and a slew of other unrelated crap that's happened since then. She's all straight now!The...
  40. gm MAS questions

    :thumb: :DYeah I guess now you know which videos are coming up... :shhh:
  41. gm MAS questions

    ^^ this.I have nothing else to add really except my experience with the factory MAF, a 3.5" GM MAF, a 3" GM MAF, the MAFT box, honeycombs/no honeycombs, DSMlinkv2 and an impending speed-density/v3 upgrade. I'm just a random guy that's somewhat cynical and enjoy punishing myself & have been...
  42. Tranny Issue -

    Before you do all that, check all your transmission bolts. Make sure the 8x60 bolt (hidden bolt at bottom-rear corner of block that goes in from the driver's side) behind the starter is there. What you're describing is similar to what happens when transmission bolts come loose. The clutch...
  43. Rear hatch filling with water

    Has your car been painted? Reason I ask is... I have the same problem after mine was painted, and when they prep the body, they remove the spoiler. There are rubber gaskets that the screws go through that into the hatch, and they're always dry rotted so they don't live through being separated...
  44. FPR overrun?

    That setup should work fine.Pull the vac line off the regulator and see if there's fuel in the hose or pouring out of it.
  45. low cost injector seal alternative.

    So I guess a used spark plug as an oil plug would be a bad idea then?
  46. Anti lag better then 2 step

    I've pulled a 1.64 60' with both configurations, and the same NITTO 450's on factory 16" wheels.I blow the tires off this thing at 5500 at the track with antilag, launching with all 4 spinning. I don't spin as much at 5250, but the 2-step does seem more consistent to me based on last season's...
  47. low cost injector seal alternative.

    If you wind up needing bigger upper insulators, an assorted box of grommets from Harbor Freight has a great set of 5/16"-ers in it for around $5, and when you're done you still have enough left over to relocate your battery and install a trophy-winning audio system. Don't let 'em go to waste at...
  48. I can't find boost leak

    If it leaks down fast and soapy water didn't show you anything on any part of the intake, plug up and clamp your breather hoses using bolts and zip ties. That will shut 'em up for the test and help you find other leaks more easily. Tie down the dipstick to keep it from launching if you do...

  50. Need Help Installing a stage 4 XTD Clutch/PP/Flywheel

    It's your clutch adjustment.If it doesn't disengage, you won't be able to shift with the car on.
