6266 Build or Bust

[1cleangsx]

Hey guys! Arc2 install is done, I think the install went great, I owe Marty one for sure

Also went ahead and pulled my injectors to be cleaned/flow tested, then I’m just waiting on a new lower control arm to replace the one that wouldn’t fit and then the front end will be buttoned up, ready for an alignment. Another thing I’m excited about is my middle straight pipe section now has a resonator! Hopefully the car will sound even better

Sweet he's a great guy and very helpful, i remember when he first started i helped him along the way over years we became great friends. Looking good man.

 

[1cleangsx]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I hope to see a idle video of your car soon

Resonator wasn't a Huge game changer for me. It made the car about 10% more quite and make the drone not SO bad but it still drones a little bit.

Now, muffler.. that was a game changer.

Hey guys figured I’d update this old boring build , I haven’t done much to the car in awhile, haven’t driven it in like a month in a half , but anyways I figured I’d post up some pics of my 3000gt slave install.

Here’s the part number for those curious, I got this off 3si.org as that sight confirms this as the smaller 11/16’s bore. I know a few members on here have apparently had success with this slave providing a little more throw and getting better disengagement of heavy pressure plates. This is my last ditch effort on my heavy single before I say screw it and by a twin

Also replaced the master with a new oem unit, and changed the gear oil

As per donnie mentioning in an old thread there’s a little bit of grinding needed to get the slave to sit flush but not much, along with enlarging the 2 bolt holes a little bit.

Tomorrow I’ll have a buddy help me bleed the whole system and fingers crossed no more clutch drag

Wish me luck

Got a little something you're hiding?

That’s from the “Stinky Pinky” I got at a no prep street outlaw event last year, I had to buy a cool trinket of memorabilia from Bandimere Speedway before they closed last year, and what’s cooler than an aluminum rod?

 

[1cleangsx]

Well just to update, got the system bled, and holy cow I can’t get over how much more throw/fork movement, after some rod adjustment on the drive, we got it passing a clutch drag test and engaging in what I thought was where the clutch wanted to be, pedal pressure felt fantastic, noticeably stiffer and firm, the car shifted beautifully like butter! Then of course after getting it back in the garage I checked the slave and of course it’s not self adjusting , so no big deal, I’ll just continue to tweak the MC rod.

Here’s a pic from earlier in the week on an oem slave, I tried to measure the fork position while the wife clutched in. On my tape it was roughly 1 1/2” from the fork to edge of the window, today with the 3kgt slave and my buddy clutched in it was 1 3/4”. I know these are guesstimates but I can tell you there’s like a quarter inch more throw, but like I said it still needs some fine tuning but so far I’m VERY pleased with this slave

How are you testing the master rod adjustments? Just seeing if you are able to compress the slave by hand?

 

[1cleangsx]

Yes

 

[1cleangsx]

I just re adjusted to the max position before the bleeders blocked off, the rod is physically within a quarter turn of where it was when I drove it over adjusted, pedal pressure still feels good, so hopefully it still shifts the same. For example on my old slave with a 2-3 shift, 2nd gear at say 8000rpm I could feel it not wanting to fully release as I pulled it out of gear to shift into 3rd, but earlier today it came out and went in like butter

Nice! Did you get that from Amayama? I just checked MitsubishiPartsNow for it and they say discontinued, no longer available. But Amayama shows them, more than 1 available.
Did you use the rod that it came with?

It looks like 3sx has them in stock
I've bought stuff from here before (upper rear control arms)

Oh yeah, I see. Their web page though, they show a blue one and a grey one, and I don't see any Mitsu part numbers there.
Jeremy got a grey one and Amayama also shows Jeremy's part number as being grey.
So now we know the grey one works.
But Jeremy, how did you know to get the grey one when you ordered?

 

[We're on Boost]

Ok I see it in this 3si thread:
Gray Vs Blue slave cylinders and cylinder bore size

.... where Chris @ Rvenge Performance says:

The blue very early AWD and FWD slaves are 3/4" bore.

The later AWD slaves (part #MB670290) are 11/16" bore.

 

[1cleangsx]

That’s correct. I actually bought mine off eBay, through Mitsubishipartswharehouse I believe. Ordered on Father’s Day and got it 3 days later

 

[1cleangsx]

 

[1cleangsx]

One thing to note, I did remove the “restrictor” inside the bore where the feed line goes, per Jafro of course , and I’m still using the same banjo bolt/feed as I did on my dsm slave, which is the stm tuned SS feed line

 

[MindBlowin03]

I can't believe I've never heard of this mod before. 25 years into this game . I'm not having any clutch issues(2G w/2900 pp) but I may grab one of these slaves just because .

 

[1cleangsx]

I know of a few members on here that have run them, @donniekak and @bastarddsm have both mentioned their effectiveness with heavy singles, but it’s never been made a ‘sticky’ or anything like that, and even this mod isn’t a one size fits all as there can always be a number of different things that can cause drag issues

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Very NICE writeup Jeremy!
Very informative and in a way that others can follow your thread and do the same thing.
Thanks for your great contributions!
Marty

 

[CrackedDSM]

Wish I knew about this slave mod, man. I'd have gotten one of those since I had to buy a new slave anyway. Like Nick/MindBlowin' said, I may just do it anyway.

 

[We're on Boost]

Jeremy, did you use the rod that came with the MB670290? Or did you use some other rod?

 

[1cleangsx]

Sorry are you referring to the MC? The master is a 1g oem with the 1g adjustment rod, the mb670290 is the 3000gt slave, I did not use the banjo feed that came with it, as the car has the stmtuned SS feed with its own banjo
