  8. What availability is left for having a trans built?

    I had white shed speed do mine, since tre, jacks, and tmz were all booked out for what seemed like months. He did a decent job for a stock rebuild. Walked me through the things that were bad while he was going through it and what was the best path to take. No matter where you go, OE parts are...

  11. Boost leak testing

    Quoting CutlassJim: Quoting idreamidrive: Apparently I can't figure out how to do a proper boost leak test (BLT).I did it at the turbo, and the pressure is going into the oil pan with a bubbling sound. Hot or cold engine, doesn't matter. Read if the bubbling was the case you should do it at...
  12. Boost leak testing

    The tuners link is why I tried to do it at the intercooler piping with no luck, as the pressure was now coming out of the turbo inlet. That is why I asked if I was supposed to plug that up too, or is there something wrong here?How I thought I was supposed to do a BLT, put tester on turbo inlet...

    Apparently I can't figure out how to do a proper boost leak test (BLT).I did it at the turbo, and the pressure is going into the oil pan with a bubbling sound. Hot or cold engine, doesn't matter. Read if the bubbling was the case you should do it at the throttle body. So test there (with...
  14. Fuel Tank to Fuel Rail line upgrade question - how much line do I need?

    I personally would go nickle/copper if bending is an issue for you. But if you think you can bend it, go with stainless.This is some info on earla fuel line that might help you make your decision. click
  15. Fuel Tank to Fuel Rail line upgrade question - how much line do I need?

    Any reason you aren't going hard line? Sure it is harder to bend, but not by much if you get the "better" line.I have been kicking around redoing my fueling system and going 1/2" (8an) supply and reusing my stock supply 5/16"(5an) as a return. Over kill? Sure, but it is also, hopefully, future...

  17. Replacing sunroof seal

    Make sure you acquired the right seal, as I am pretty sure there are two sunroofs, port installed and factory installed.It has been years, but I remember just pulling it off and it having no adhesive to it on the factory installed one. Looking at the Body FSM, it doesn't show any adhesive either.
  18. 4ws galant problem

    No, it is not a vr4.Not sure about the 4ws switch, did you bleed the air out of the lines in the rear when changing out the fluid?Does the new steering wheel have an air bag? If no, then you will get the light. If yes, did you plug the air bag in? Still yes, you probably damaged a wire/clock...
  19. Insuring your Galant for what it's actually worth

    I am just finding this information as I recently went through this song and dance, and would like to add additional info.Most insurance companies require a additional car for each driver in the household. They will not make an exception to this rule. My wife and I both work at the same place...
  20. Radio: OEM options or period correct upgrade

    I have been debating getting this VDO HU as it is about as period correct as you can get from a newer HU, but I would want to switch out the orange lights to the green that we have to match everything else in the car.
  21. Clutch switch activates brake lights

    Not sure if this has been going on for a while, as I never really have my tail end up against something to notice, but last night I noticed that when pushing in the clutch pedal, this activates my brake lights. I recently have rebuilt the clutch/brake pedal assembly, but that should have no...
  22. Aftermarket rear engine mount (roll stop)

    Quoting AllanL: no chance the press the bushing out of the FWD bracket and press it in the 4WD bracket?I haven't tried, but people doing it in the past said "the sleeves on the aftermarket ones just crumble when you try."
  23. WTB: Rear Engine Mount (roll stop)

    How bad is the crack? Post up a picture please.
  24. Aftermarket rear engine mount (roll stop)

    Iceman, do you know if you could use the rear bracket from a fwd and the fwd mount to make it fit?And a confirmation on the mount through Mitsubishi being NLA, in the us at least (I am still waiting to hear back from JNZ to find out if there is any globally).
  25. Aftermarket rear engine mount (roll stop)

    Figured I should put this here to have it documentedInstalled the prothane engine roll stops in my car while it was down getting the trans rebuilt. Car no has a cruising vibration from 2-2.5k-ish rpm, probably due to the balance shaft elimination (bse). Replaced the front with an aftermarket...
  26. WTB: Rear Engine Mount (roll stop)

    Need a stock rear engine motor mount (roll stop)I installed the prothane insert and I am getting a vibration from 2-2.5kish rpm, probably due to BSE. I am not liking it. What is listed in the aftermarket is wrong. #8105 is not the correct part number as it is too tall and also curved away from...
  27. 799/2000 in Denmark

    That is clean.Is that a plastic end tank radiator? If it is, it looks like it is in it's very end of life, due to the color discoloration (the brown color).
  28. exhaust clearence choice

    Sounds like you will have to take it off no matter what you do, and if that is the case, even though I love a good hammer smack, just oval it in the vice.
  29. Bolt Hardness

    Thank you
  30. Bolt Hardness

    I think I know that the hardness of the bolt is stamped on the top of the head, but can't find the answer to what the "7" stands for. Snapped the head off the transmission case bolt and trying to figure out if 8.8 hardness will work just fine, or if I need to special order a 10.9 hardness bolt...

  33. Black lower timing cover

    Well, I was able to get the stupid thing on. I wasn't expecting a new oe part to fight me like that.Normally I start by installing the longest bolt or bottom right bolt. Ever time I did that, the OFH bolt hole was half covered. I finally started at the OFH hole, then the longest bolt, and...
  34. Intermittent runs like crap w/ weak spark

    I see I never posted a resolution to this. It ended up that my MAF died. I replaced it with a 3g eclipse gts maf (482) and the wiring connector that Iceman makes click and it fired right up and has been running great all this time.
  35. Engine stall, cranks, no start

    Are you speed density or maf? If it's sd, I can't help you. If you are still running a maf, when it does run does it run like when you have the maf unplugged? It sort of sounds like that is what is going on. I had a similar situation where I went through the whole thing you did.Ever once in...
  36. Black lower timing cover

    I was ordering a bunch of parts and noticed that the or black lower timing cover is still available. The stupid thing doesn't line up. Not sure if I got a bad one or for some other reason it won't line up to the bolt holes. All 6 bolt timing covers should fit, correct? Engine was originally from...
  37. Timing belt idler bolt

    I know that the 90 idler pulley is different from the others, I forgot that my engine came from a 90 eclipse and didn't order the correct length idler pulley bolt when doing my timing belt just now. I was able to find a bolt in my parts hoard that was the correct length to MF241281, but it...

  41. Alternator/Battery Issues again

    I was driving around yesterday with headlights, ac, and radio on and you could just watch the voltage drop after driving for 30 minutes. Started at 14.2 and eventually got down to 12.9. It was a warranty replacement from oriellys and u went over there to have them test it. 1st test was without...
  42. Alternator/Battery Issues again

    Quoting thomcasey: Sounds like the alternator to me, unless your grounds are decaying.Very much could be the grounds as they are original. I was planning on replacing them at some point.Quoting transparentdsm: I've had a similar situation when I blew out the power transistor a few years...
  43. Alternator/Battery Issues again

    I am not having any luck trying to volunteer at stage rallies.In March, I replaced my interstate battery because it didn't have the CCA that it used to. In fact, if I left the car sit for a week it wouldn't start with out me charging up the battery. Then I took a road trip to volunteer at the...
