Another weekend and another eventful time on the 1G trying to bring it back!Was a great weekend (mostly)I have blasted and painted alot of parts! Pullys, intake, random covers and brackets that had surface corrosion that was right in your eye...
So last we left off, I dropped my hot parts off at the machine shop 4/17. I hadn't heard anything from them by last Wednesday, so I called them up to see if the parts would be done that day. They knew I was heading to Pocono Friday. Well, the...
Painting aluminum normally requires an etch primer to bite into so it holds. But to preserve your finish you cannot do that nor scuff up the surface. So you may want to look into a solvent type based paint or a 2k but have to be safe with 2k and...
New capacitor went in and all seems ok now its cleaned! Its not mega hard to do just a bit of time and hands and calmness to do it! Even though the capacitor is smaller its still the same spec and rating so thanks modern technology for smaller parts.
Semi productive weekend on the 1G.Got rained out and was cold so only could do so much but did what I was able to do as I got stuck on 2 things but all being sorted.This car was an unknown to me I want to go through everything, so I removed...
should and can is different on the tester and how they feel on the day. if you took the dot approval certificate and if they question it give them that and it should help your case to be ok
For this specific harness you would use the rear lower 7/16 unf mounting locations. 1 from the OEM latch receiver and the other from the lower belt mounting. Due to the design these can be places below the normal harness angles as 3 points can be...
This car was imported from the US originally. Its not a Euro car on this one. I just don't get why the listing pic I show is of a US seller saying its a turbo but its 6 pin? That's what confuses me. And why I got a 7 pin I don't know haha. The...
Hey all. I need some help on this while working on my 1G NT 4G63.Refurbing the MAF system and i know the NT uses 6 pins vs Turbo 7 pins however this is where things get odd! Searching the MAF part number its coming up as a turbo MAF? But it's 6...
I got this one thats for the later evos. So 789. I thought it was worth a check to see if those worked. Just wondering if the later evo ones are weaker what they currently do for upgrading them? If they use oem ones and they fit ours and they...
The cross shaft is of a weaker design on the Evo unit vs. the DSM units. (I've posted comparison pictures several times here)The Evos are also *lighter* than the DSMs (DSM vs. Evo 1-3) which is also an obvious factor.There are other u-joints...
Have you reached out or emailed him? Maybe he will see the email before here as sometimes people can take a while to come back here when they get busy. I sell to people and sometimes its days or even weeks before they come back on to see my...
Anyone got oem measurements? I know its got a grease nipple but this is an oem one i got and worth considering if they work for the Evos no? I mean they pushing some power also still and hold ok or they breaking them also?Anyway i got this to...
It will be a pin hole in the filler neck, or on top of the tank the rubber hose would of split. A gasket on the pump hanger could of leaked but really you just need to get down and sniff everything and possibly drop the tank to check the top of...
Big update, the entire drivetrain is finished besides the axles. Still waiting on dss for those. But happy with how everything turned out and honestly was not too bad to install. The JXB carrier bearing housing was pretty straight forward and...
Its not as bad as some other pictures i have seen but still bad none the less. I will be cleaning it up and de scaling it with methods i have found online. I will see what happens once its all back together and hope i did a good job on it all...
You'll be fine regardless. The most important change is the new ones don't leak like the originals.
Sadly yours has and the solder around it has become porous. Hopefully the traces haven't failed and the voltage regulator with them. TCUs have...
Keep what you got if its working and tune for a bite more spool up. You will want a bite more power down the line anyway as most do, so allows for a bit more room to grow but you will be restricted by the turbine housing anyway so not much more...
