  1. JDM Galant VR4 Chime

    My bad.
  2. JDM Galant VR4 Chime

    I too have a JDM VR4 and I am pretty sure that no VR4 ever came with a speed warning chime from the factory. Whatever it is making the noise at 65mph it is likely to be aftermarket. If you start poking around under the dash you should be able to track down the non-factory looking wires.Good Luck.
  3. ULTRA RACING 3 PTS FENDER BAR

    Hey Bazeng, after installing my kit the car was noticeably improved, turn in and steering inputs were much sharper and the overall feel of the car was “tighter”. I can’t comment on whether this change came from the fender braces or the strut bars as I installed them all at the time but the...
  4. What exactly is the material on the exterior roof?

    ^ Yep, hail or maybe sunroof removal. Regardless someone has filled it for some reason and now it’s no good.
  5. What exactly is the material on the exterior roof?

    Maybe someone repaired some hail damage, and it is body filler your seeing?
  6. FS: whiteline lowering springs

    CWTG = Center of Wheel To Gaurd. I have H&R 1" drop springs which give me 365mm CWTG on the front. So I would assume these are about a 1" drop.
  7. Power steering delete rear subframe rack question.

    clickRemove the rear rack and install the 3sx AWS delete kit. It has adjustable arms to lock the rear trailing arms in place and a welsh plug for the diff where the pump comes out.Can be done with subframe in car but it’s not hard to remove it.
  8. Old newbie

    Hi Mike, I am also in NZ. The best shipping method I have used by far is NZPost’s “YouShop” service. See their website. it gives you a local address in the US, England and China they then forward it to your NZ address.It is cheaper than USPS and you have insurance and shipping speed...
  9. New HTA68 Turbo install questions

    All the stock lines will fit but... I installed my HTA and used the stock head oil feed line that was on my old 16g. The turbo lasted about 500miles before it died due to lack of oiling. I had it rebuilt and ran the oil feed from the Oil filter housing instead of the head. Its still going strong...

    ^ Yep.
  11. ULTRA RACING 3 PTS FENDER BAR

    Back from the dead. Cheekychimp how did the panel hold up with just two bolt holes and no re-inforcing? I see Cuttlassjim made a couple of re-inforcing plates for his which seems like a good idea but if its not needed I'd rather save myself the hassle.I am about to install the full set of...
  12. Serpentine Belt Keeps Being Tossed

    That escalated quickly!
  13. Radiator Fan constantly on even when the car is off

    It will be the fan relay which has stuck closed. Find it and test it.
  14. fuel supply and return hanger/clamps

    If you take one of the stock clips off you will see that the plastic insert comes out leaving just the metal surround.This gives you a lot more space for the hoses and may be enough for your feed and return. Or at least give you a starting point to do some massaging of the stock clips to suit.
  15. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Yes I did. Dave Mertz was very helpful but in the end unable to resolve it? He suggested it may be some sort of resonance related to the volume of the catch-cans and lines, but it did not change with or without the catch-cans in the circuit. I even tried different hose sizes and partial...
  16. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Well, after too many hours trying to get it to idle accurately (With catch cans, without catch cans, 5/8 ID hoses, 1/4 ID hoses, partial crimping of various hoses in the circuit) I gave up.I have left the breather line which was connected to the turbo inlet pipe after the MAF disconnected...
  17. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    UPDATE - Based on my assumption that the valve cover was the issue i had -10 an fittings welded to my known good valve cover. I fitted it and the results are better but not good.BETTER in that the car does not surge as badly and it does not stall. NOT GOOD in that the idle is still surging...
  18. Boost leak test results

    You said " all the air" are you sure its all the air. When I boost leak test I get some coming from the breather hose from the valve cover. This is whatever gets past any open valves and the rings. (I dont bother to put the car at TDC cyl 1) I normally jst clamp this hose so I can hear actual...

  20. Active rear toe LImiter idea

    Yep, I installed it and it's hand down the best option.
  21. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    No, I re-used the existing gasket set and the half moon was never removed. As I said earlier they weren't that old as I had rebuilt the head a few thousands miles ago.
  22. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Update: I swapped the valve cover back to my original and the issue has gone away?!I'm going to assume that the valve cover has a leak of some kind. It is an Evo valve cover and has some difference to our VR4 covers. The Evo valve cover bolt holes are larger to accommodate M8 bolts...
  23. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Hi Brett, I'm assuming you couldnt see anything glaringly wrong with the idle log I posted? (aside form the surging idle)oost leak procedure is this clickI built my own tester with gauge which fits to the turbo compressor inlet. I clamp the hose from valve cover to intake pipe and also the...
  24. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Iceman69510, Yes it is in the rear most line going to the intake manifold. Stock PCV valve and correctly oriented. No leaks, I clamped the hose between the pcv valve and intake manifold when I pressurized the catch can to test for leaks and there were no leaks at the pcv connections. I used...
  25. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Process of elimination 1/ THE CATCH CANS I had some spare hose so I re-plumbed the valve cover without the catch cans. Direct from the valve cover to intake pipe, and valve cover to Intake manifold with PCV in place. (See photo below)This made no difference to the idle which seems right to...
  26. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    A couple of reasons: I changed the o2 housing from stock to evo3 and broke the stock O2 sensor when removing it. I put the Wideband in the stock location as I was using the stock downpipe and it had no bunghole for a wideband. I had plans to replace the downpipe with 3" eventually so... I had a...
  27. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Good questions?! I do not know why I changed those two DA tables. I have reset them back to the defaults as you suggested.Is 2.45v not correct for an LC2 wideband? I have read that 2.43v - 2.45v is correct. If this is not right and I need to change it, just let me know a value and I will...
  28. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    At this point it does not idle when at operating temps unless I back out the BISS so it holds the surging revs higher. The second log I posted is from cold to the point when the car stalls. Let me know if you want another idle log as you described and I can back out the BISS and get it for you.
  29. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Hi Brett,Yes, I saw those both after posting the log. They will have occurred when I had the MAF unplugged and intake removed and I used ECMlink to help me check and set the TPS with the key on. I cleared them and ran the car from cold to stall again and they did not return so I am pretty sure...
  30. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    I have checked and cleaned all my grounding points to eliminate that as an issue. I re-tested the sealing of the catch cans to 20psi.The log below is from stone cold until the car stalls as it cant seem to stabilize the idle.clickIt runs great up until 316 seconds into the log and then you...
  31. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Oh forgot to say I had a new oil cap seal about 6 months ago. I removed the oil cap while the car was running and it is sealing very well. (New Dipstick too)
  32. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Thanks for the input. They are truly cheap Chinese cans. So much so that I used thread sealant on all the fittings and after installing them In the car I set my compressor to ~10psi and pressurized each can to make sure they had no leaks.It sure feels like a vacuum leak but I can't find any...
  33. Evap smoker for boost leak testing

    Yep, common leaks are: - Injector seals where they sit into the head - Throttle body shaft seals - Throttle body gasketsAnd then everything else, but those are nearly always an issue in these cars.
  34. Evap smoker for boost leak testing

    I made my own and used a small portable tyre inflation compressor to push the smoke in. It worked great and caused no issues. It's not going to find leaks that only show up at high boost levels, but good for the small stuff and saves trying to spray soapy water into hard to reach areas when...
  35. Ecmlink Idle issues - help please. - UPDATE - SORT OF SOLVED

    Hi All, I'm hoping you can help me out here. As some of you may know I have been using ECMLink v3 for a few years now and have successfully tuned my car to over 350whp.But I have an issue I cant seem to resolve/understand.I changed the valve cover to a new one with -10an breather ports...

  37. Opinion wanted: Do I need a new clutch? (pics)

    That clutch and flywheel look okay to me, just a bit dirty, but no real bad heat spots or chatter marks and the meat on the disc looks okay. It's a big job to take the tranny out though so if your thinking about turning up the boost at any point in the future I would replace/upgrade it and get...
  38. Opinions on Suspension Tech rear sway bar kit?

    While I haven't tried the other two adjustment holes it certainly looks like the end links will be at a pretty steep angle with the whiteline bar. That was the reason I chose the middle setting initially.
  39. Opinions on Suspension Tech rear sway bar kit?

    I just installed my whiteline 26mm bar last week and had all the known issues and perhaps one more.I ground the slots on the bar mounting brackets and changed hardware to hex cap screws with D shaped washers in order to fit the brackets to the factory mounting position. The clearance between...
  40. Timing light mystery?

    Thanks for the info about guns. The gun I have is the cheapest chinese made thing in existence. And has no adjustment available. I borrowed another gun (friendly neighbour) and tried again. Spot on 5 BTDC off both leads to Cyl 1 and 4.Both guns were hooked up at the coil pack without taking...
  41. Timing light mystery?

    Hi Guys, I'll explain my situation and hopefully you can shed some light on why this is happening.I have a 91 JDM vr4. I have boost leak tested it many times but only to about 20psi. I have just increased my boost level to ~26psi and thought I better do a boost leak test to above that level...

  46. Source for Power steering racks?

    My power steering rack has sprung an unidentified leak. Local shops have given me a 50/50 call for whether they can get parts for something this old (and an estimated $600 repair price) so I'm wondering about buying new/reman?I will be deleting the 4ws at the same time so might as well get a...
