  1. waste gate actuator

    Is there a difference in how much pressure it takes to open waste gate actuator on different Mits turbos? I need one for 14b so need to know if all the bigger ones need the same pressure to move actuator and will work.

  4. roll bar bracket

    When installing engine and trans together into car should either of the roll bar brackets be attached to the block first?
  5. ac compressor mounting bolts

    I can't find my bolts. Parts book say they are washer assembled 8x100. Are they hex head (non flange) with both flat and lock washers? I will probably use after market pieces instead of searching for Mits ones.
  6. Attachment of turbo to ex manifold

    What is the purpose of a stud and 3 bolts and not 4 bolts for attachment as shown in parts and assembly books? Also parts book '89-'92 says the bolts are 10 x 80 but mine are 9 x 80 was there a change somewhere along the line? What size are the popular turbos tapped for?

    Need to buy water inlet and water return pipes. Can not get mine separated which means I can not remove my exhaust manifold and turbo without cutting return pipe off.
  10. removing water return pipe

    I have tried everything to remove return line from water inlet in order to remove turbo. Is this a common problem? Any suggestions on why the steel fitting will not unscrew? I am thinking I will have to cut it off and replace both pieces.

  16. terminals and connectors

    How do you separate the wire terminal from the plastic connector? I have tried for 3 days to figure it out. It seems like all the connectors are about the same but the ones I am working on are the ones around the thermostat housing. When I started I thought all female connectors had a tang on...
  17. Installing engine and transaxle

    What are your thoughts on installing engine then trans vs attaching trans to engine and installing both together? Seems like putting the trans up and getting input through clutch is a hard, heavy chore. Is it easy enough to do both together with all the harness' and controls hanging down?
  18. miscellaneous mounting bolts

    Rear roll stopper coupler bolt M10 x 110 tapered cone end Front roll stopper coupler bolt M10 x 75 flange and locking flange nut Front engine mount bolts at firewall side of the mount M10 x 73 washer assembled - two of these.I may cut down some new 75mm ones for the front mount. I can not...

  20. exhaust manifold

    I have a fp racing manifold and I was told it is way too big for a 14b or 16g. I bought an ATP stock replacement and the interior of the runners are quite rough compared to my old cracked one. Should the ATP be smoothed out or will it not hinder exhaust flow enough as is?
  21. replacement motor/trans mount

    Is Prothane 13-1902 kit a perfect fit for engine and transaxle brackets? Has anybody tried ones from Mad Polly out of Australia that specifies it is for E38A and E39A?
  22. engine/trans mount replacement

    How long will the rubber in the mounts last? Mine are not torn but they are 31 years old. Is it smart to replace while engine is out? How flexible should the LH roll stopper attached to the firewall be? When I put a screwdriver in bolt hole and move it horizonitally it is very flexible.

  27. smoothcustomer

  28. effective intercooler upgrade

    What would be a few good intercoolers to use to upgrade over stock that would provide a worthwhile and effective step up? I would not want to eliminate a/c or fans. I also would not want to chop up a bumper except minimally in order to keep the horizontal bars to somewhat cover the stuff back...
  29. larger fuel pump, injectors and tune?

    When I get my engine back together it will have been bored 1mm, racing FP manifold, small 16g. Would this require larger injectors or is getting my stock blue ones rebuilt enough? I am thinking this would be a good time to replace the fuel pump (175k), should I go with a larger one? If so what...

    Regarding picture of RRE turbo oil supply line shown on following How To post "Best Place for Oil Gauge":clickDoes anybody know the size of the BSPT where turbo is attached? I would like to use adapters on that in order to put on oil pressure gauge unless you can suggest a better spot or...

  33. valve lifters (hvl) check

    I soaked my valve lifters in diesel fuel for three days and I need to know how they should feel when they are good. When you hold one at the base and turn the knurled small end what should happen? A couple of mine rotate easily, a couple do not rotate, and most rotate with different amounts of...
  34. head studs vs bolts

    I have always worried that a head bolt will break and create a huge problem (pre gvr4). Much easier to get a nut off if needed over drilling a head stud. Therefore I always felt studs would make me much more comfortable. But I have never used them or broke a head bolt but when I had to use a...
  35. clearance for transaxle drop

    How much room is needed below the bottom of the trans to get it out? I have about 13" now. Can two people, one at each end remove it? Will a big saddle floor jack work easier? It appears there are 6 bolts around the clutch housing holding it to block with 3 top bolt heads facing wheel and 3...
  36. remove plastic screws on fender liners

    I am trying to remove the under cover between wheel and transaxle to remove TA. How do you get those connectors out?
  37. 2g exhaust manifold direct bolt on?

    After looking at vfaq on 1g and 2g differences I got the impression the 2g will not bolt directly up to 1551. Is this correct? I have assumed by previous posts that it is a smart easy swap to make for free power.
  38. Bogus

    Good transaction from Dale and fast turn around. Bought rods, piston, & rings that were packed very well.
  39. cam bearing cap installation

    I forget the proper orientation of the exhaust caps. I remember the Intake arrows all pointed outboard along with front cap, and with base of letters towards rear of engine. It seems the Exhaust had base of letters facing to rear also and arrows pointing outboard but front cap points inboard...

    Need one with NO cracks anywhere. The rest of mine is ok.
  41. balance shaft pully removal with belts off

    I decided to remove balance shaft pulley after everything was apart and up on stands. Any ideas how to hold the pulley to get the bolt off? I tried squeezing the belt together with pliers while holding the crank with a wrench but the pliers broke the belt. Suggestions?
  42. exhaust manifold stud replace?

    I need to replace a missing em stud. What is proper torque for 8x1.25 steel stud going into the aluminum head? Should a thread locker or a hardening gasket sealer like Permatex 1B be used also?
  43. balance shaft and front case removal w engine in car?

    Can the balance shafts be removed with the engine and crank still in the car? I am not wanting to remove them for good, just check the oil passages (if there are any) for them. After finding my pistons' oil return holes plugged I am wondering how the condition of the front case might be. Any...
  44. piston oil drain holes

    After I cleaned my pistons, 63dT, I found the 3rd land oil holes were caked and baked. I had to drill them out. Do the two holes above the pin have a vertical channel to drain down to the pin? Of course all the others just drain back to pan. I think there must be a drain or the oil would not...

  46. piston rings for 1551

    I bought new rings and was sold Sealed Power E-647KC and was planning on using E-522KC which is what my research showed was correct for '91. After more research on the difference I come up with E-647KC was used from 5/92 on with 3rd ring chromed carbon steel. The E-522KC ('91) has stainless...
  47. ball joint and tie rod removal

    Is there any way to remove these joints without a pickle fork which destroys the boot. At times(once?) I have been able to shock them loose with a heavy hammer hit but usually they get destroyed and you can not put heat on them. I have tried the lever type from auto parts stores rental but they...
  48. WTB:

    Lower timing belt cover in good shape.fan shroud for radiator that has no cracks. Don't really need motor but I suppose I could take it.
  49. Altrom parts OEM?

    I was checking parts & prices and NAPA had parts listed made by Altrom (an importer) and description said they were Mitsubishi brand. I did some searching and it seems like it is true. Anybody hear of Altrom importers before? This link has a NAPA employee commenting on it and other sites...
