Here's what happenedThe car is currently at the EH Motorsports garage where Evan will be helping me to part the car out. In fact, those of you on Facebook might already be talking with him about parts.To simplify this process, I've created a workbook for us to track what's being sold...

Some presumably drunk asshole decided to end my VR4 ownership at 1:30am a few Wednesday's ago. Hit-and-run while parked in front of my house. The paperwork is all settled, and while the $6500 the insurance company offered me is a testament to keeping good records and providing market value...

Is there an easy place to find a lead that is switched to ignition under the hood? I've got a new radiator in with it, a new thermo switch. The switch is working well enough, but wired directly into the battery means it runs even when the car is off. it doesn't run long, but I'd prefer it didn't...

No questions, just a cautionary tale and a need to vent because seriously, f***.12*F here in Portland a few days ago. Started up my car yesterday and it was missing pretty bad and running very rich. I do have cold-start enrichment setup in link, but 11.0:1 was pretty extreme. I let it warm...

So three weeks ago I had both of my front wheel bearings replaced by a local shop. I then left town, just returning Friday. I've noticed that one got a fairly noisy squeak coming from the front of the car and I'm thinking it's likely related to the work. Now I've got no issue taking my car back...

Well, I think my Scirocco radiator experiment is coming to a close. During normal driving, I'm right between 196*-206*. Run it even moderately and it warms up. Of course it does. The thing is that with normal driving after some spirited shenanigans, it just doesn't cool back down unless I'm...

Just when I think I've got this car nearly there...I'm seeing AFR lean spikes from my LC-1 @ WOT. Now I just had an aeromotive FPR installed a few weeks ago, so that's my absolute first thought, but there's not much to an FPR, so after verifying the pressure and that the hose is zip-tied down...

The Internet is lousy with opinions on who makes the best kit, but I'm curious about the experiences of actual VR4 owners. I've got LinkV3 and activating the alcohol injection from link makes sense to me. It would also seem that progressive controllers aren't worth the expense with Link...

As i consider what next, I am faced with a question that I don't know the answer to. I've got a stock FPR and rail along with my high-flow pump and 950FIC's.How is this holding me back?

When I got my car, the PO had shaved off all of the badges and locks before painting the car some Porsche grey. I'm "meh" on the door locks, but I never liked the fact that the emblems were gone. As it turns out, the emblem on the grill wasn't gone, just covered in bondo and painted over...

I'm still seeing some bouncy values at WOT. I'm running SD, so I'm not sure what's causal and what's symptomatic. If I had to guess, the bouncing RPM value is causal. In the screenshot below, you can see that Airflow, Fuel Flow, and RPM all track the same bouncy behavior. The end result is...

As the temps start to creep up here in the PacNW, I'm realizing the need to vent my engine bay is going to be real in about a month. Rather than wait, then panic, I'm going to do the work now. I figure i'll also get my aerocatch hood latches installed, too. What I'm seeing now is actually fine...

When I first got my car, the panel was somewhat f'ed already, with a lens that wouldn't quite pop in all the way and a crack across the "VR-4" badge. Well today I resolved to get the lens to stay in and the damned thing cracked. Looks like the panel itself was damaged at some point, so I suppose...

My already cracked trunk lights cracked a bit more and it's time for replacement. I'm not partial to the VR-4 badge on the '92 lights, but buying '91 lights don't get me much of they don't fit...*EDIT*It would seem as though that VR-4 badge isn't year-specific? I can see there are two...

I'm sitting in my car this morning warming it up and unlike was previous few weeks of morning, no issues. The difference: it's fairly cold at the moment.As the weather began to warm, I started getting hard starts. Car would fire up OK, then idle for 10-15 seconds, at which point it would go...

For the moment, I'm just looking at doing the front sway bar bushings as I know them to be shot. I figure new endlinks aren't a bad idea either.Are the bushings in the front the same as other 1g AWD's, or are they VR4-specific?Any recommendations?

I've got a bad wheel bearing, and you don't do one side without doing the other, so I'm looking for two. My guess is that if I just try to do the bearings themselves, I'm going to discover at the worst time that I need to replace the hub(s). Besides, bearings are a PITA, so I would be happy to...

One of the outcomes of some recent troubleshooting is that it may be a good idea to relocate my MAP. No big deal, but in looking around my engine bay, I think it is finally time to do another project that I've been sitting on and replace/clean-up my vacuum lines. Is it with spending the extra...

I've been chasing what I initially thought might be blowout at WOT. I was seeing a little bit of knock on some of my pulls, but it never seemed like something that would cause the sort of shuddering I was feeling at-speed. Well I was doing some long logs for SD VE table calibration and noticed...

Moving this from the General forum since I'm starting to go down the rabbit hole a bit more...Seeing knock in 2nd. Ordinarily, one would expect this to be a fairly linear fix: reduce boost or reduce timing. Thing is, when I see the knock, I also feel a slight rumble... it almost feels like...

Very intermittent, so I'm thinking PK. Right now, my link threshold is 3750/40%, which seems plenty high (in both RPM and TPS) for me. Are there other things I should be looking at? I know vibrations will cause issues, but with poly bushings all around, I can't think of what else I could do...

I don't recall this happening before. Just saw it on my way in. Flutters between 21-23 psi or so. Haven't pulled a log yet, so not sure what the car is actually seeing off the omnibar.Thoughts? Just the way mechanical gauges are sometimes? Wrong boost source? I'm t'ed off the manifold using...

Car was sounding odd, like the exhaust note had changed. I got on the gas and had a fairly substantial misfire. The ticking I had attributed to lifters (even with the 2g's, there was always a slight tick), but it had gotten louder.Protip: When torquing spark plugs, 4#'s is materially different...

I installed a scirocco radiator and two big fans over the summer. I also installed a 180* t-stat and played with my coolant offset a bit to get my OL thresholds inline. This all worked fine and dandy. Now it's winter and I'm rarely seeing my car go over 180*. No big surprise there given the...

Evan just finished installing an I AT in my car and it's working great. I have noticed, however, that my AFRatioEst is now about 1:1 leaner than before the IAT was installed. It used to track fairly well against the WB, but now, lean.I'm can't say I'm sure exactly how to sort that out. The...

I just noticed this. Not sure why, but it would seem as though English Racing changed my low-load and low-RPM OL thresholds when they installed my speed density. I'm not saying it's a problem, but I can't figure why they would do it and I'm damned curious. They basically zeroed-out values below...

Well I couldn't be happier right now. Evan swapped my manifold (maybe he'll post pictures of the crack it had) and I finally got around to adjusting my global fuel to bring my LTFT's to zero (well, very close, anyway) and to get the highest cells in my VE table below 100. Car is running great...

I posted a message about an excel workbook I put together to calculate VE cell changes based on adjustments made to global fuel values. There's been a decent amount of interest. I can't upload the workbook here, but if you send me a PM with your email address, I'll send you the workbook...

I'm interested in the values around idle. I think it matches the 1g map on ecmlink's site, but that lists the map as a 1g 1993.Thanks!EDITThat is to say that I think the 1g map is the same as the vr4 map. The reason I ask is because my timing is a flat 5* at 1000-1250rpm's, which...

It's been suggested that I change plugs every ~6k mi. or so. This recommendation came after a discussion regarding tuning I've been doing and some knock I was getting in 4th gear. I was at about 7,500 mi. at the time, so I figured I would swap them with my next oil change. Here's what I found...

I'm using a standard SPDT relay. This would normally be straightforward, but I've heard mention that the ECU switches using ground. So normally, if I wanted something to come on with an SPDT relay, I'd wire pin 30 to 12v, pin 87 to the thing I'm powering, ground pin 85, and put my voltage switch...

With the air cooling off, getting my radiator fans to turn on when they should and not when the temps sensor hits 140F has become a priority.Has anyone actually wired up a 1g to use the new Link fan control? It looks like you hook EGR-s pin 53 to the fan relay. I'm guessing it's a ground...

So my alternator crapped out a few months back and I replaced it. Sadly, I didn't have time to wait for an OEM unit and just grabbed what oriely had on the shelf. I notice that my voltage never goes over 13.8, and at idle, it's around 13.5. WOT pulls, about the same as idle.This morning I had...

I'm getting close to installing an IAT on my car and I'm curious about the process for tuning it. I'm running speed density, but when it was installed, English Racing, in their infinite wisdom, chose to skip installing an IAT and simply turned off the adjustments in ECMLink. Well the temps here...

I've assembled my notes and I'm almost convinced, but I'd love some seasoned eyes on this. I've got 8 logs that show what I'm trying to chase down. 1-4 counts of knock at low RPM and low/no boost. Generally, if I'm in any gear crossing 3100-4000 RPM's w/ 33-38% throttle position, I see knock...

when I got my car originally, the fans were just on all the time. I got this sorted out when I put a new motor in, but ever since then, the fans kick on when the ECT hits 140 (what I see in link). I've got to assume that the sensor is actually turning the fans on at a lower temp since it's...

I turned down my knock control thresholds to 2750 RPM's/30% TP to do a bit of low RPM tuning and I'm seeing some knock at about the same RPM range and TP on each log. The timing doesn't seem nuts, and the knock isn't huge, but it's so replicatible that I can't figure it....So, PK due to...

I'm at 3750rpm's / 45% throttle. I'm going to start playing with some of my pre-spool timing and I found myself curious about where others have theirs set.For my part, I'm going to go down to 3000rpm's/40% TP and drive around a bit to see if I get any phantom knock. Once I'm settled on that...

I imagine that the auto-lock solenoid for these cars is common across a few Mitsu models. I'm just not sure which. Anyone know?UPDATE: Isolated to single-wire electrical problem. read on...

What I've got: car idles warm at 190-196 car runs/races up to 209What I've gleaned from other posts: Closed loop starts after 190 FT learning after 197What I think I should do: set coolant offset to 10 or moreLogic: If I understand what the coolant offset does, a setting of 10 will...

...then the values on the timing map are all+5 as well, right?

Fogs are out and cleaned up. In great shape with no broken-off bits or cracks in the glass.$150 + shipping from 97211

They are in great shape. Normal pitting that I'm considering polishing just for kicks. Harness connector still intact.Anyone interested?(edit-photo added)

Hello, all. I've purchased a new house and I'm finding myself acutely aware of how loud my car is warming up at 6am in the morning. Now I accept that it will always be loud to a certain extent. FP racing manifold... 3" Fujitsubo turbo-back exhaust... Right now I've got a 10 year old magnaflow...

Odd thing, this morning. But first, a bit of backstory. Whenever my car is cold, it typically starts fine. Turns over for a second or two, then fires right up. Only 2 or 3 times have I had to crank it a few times when cold to get it to start. More often, I need to crank it for a while if I start...

I worked with Evan (EHMotorsports) to get a new radiator into my car after the stock radiator decided that sealing at the lower plastic end-tank was just not part of the program any longer. I went with a scirocco radiator because they have a proven record with the 4g63, and they also provide...

I know it's different for every car, but I imagine there's a point of diminishing returns chasing more boost at the expense of less timing. Lot's of bits, but the relevant ones here are...FIC 950cc injectors Wally 255 T3-T04 264/264 cams SD setup w/ ECM link FP racing exhaust w/3" Fujitsubo...

I'm chatting with EHMotorsports (Evan) this morning about hood vents and he says the Evo 3 vents are really the way to go. I have to admit, they do look great. Of course, there's a challenge in getting them. Well, he said that if I could get my hands on a set, he could make a mold and we could...

There's this one part of the timing map where the timing dips a few degrees before scaling up again. It's at 2500rpm's at a 1.4 load factor. The minor drop is on both the stock 2g timing map, as well as the timing map that the guys at English Racing setup on my car. Anyone know what is going on...

I've got mine mounted on a hinge in front of the intercooler. It used to be mounted (really) in the middle of the windshield at the top behind the rearview mirror, but I got a ticket. Went to court and got bit by stare decisis. Thanks to the people v. Nguyen, "front" means bumper.I'm not...
