Sold to Thom! Scott

Curious what methods folks have found most effective. I am putting in a new engine and clutch. No work on the transmission. Does it come out easily enough through the top by itself or do I go ahead and pull the whole engine/trans together? Or...out the bottom?Thanks for your contributions...

Perhaps you are right. I also run a 97 Toyota GT4 AWD and have those pressures with my uprated turbo. I figured this could happen here as well, but I risked running it lean if I couldn't support it with more fuel. That was what I was trying to avoid.

I used it for 100 miles and the wife complained she didn't like the extra vibration. So back to factory! All yours for 50 bucks and I'll cover the postage too.907-885-7700 [email protected] hating life trying to integrate a photo here. Wish it was easier. click

It comes with a Stage2 head and upgraded turbo and exhaust manifold, but still running a stock ECM. I understand I may have just walked into having to support this fresh engines with more and more stuff (should have just rebuilt the factory one!). But I was checking with the experts on their...

PM'd

Decent shape is fine with me. Or any other exhaust component further down the line?Thanks, Scott

Donnie, what do you mean put "copper wire" in the grooves if I wanted to run a metal gasket? I don't see what grooves I'd put it in, let alone copper wire. Thanks.

The head has raised metal O-rings. The block, as pictured below has no corresponding grooves. There appears some faint marking like "maybe" there was some kind of grooving in the past. But it came with a Multiple layer metal gasket. It was a build from ten years ago that was NEVER run, just...

He built this a few years ago and never finished assembly. He has no paperwork on it but a few notes. The bottom end has Arias stuff all together in the block (I'll post about that later. But the head with the 3 layer metal gasket is sure pretty. Apparently, he has some nice cams and titanium...

Real simple. Call me lazy, but maybe someone has a ready to go engine...or a long block or short block that needs little or a little something? Mine lost a seal and then lost the oil. So, lots of swarf throughout before it locked up. My poor 92 is due for another 2.0 or maybe a stroker. What...

So it sounds like really, if I found that rare Evo one or two engine, I am really only getting 4 bigger injectors and a better turbo. Everything else is the same. Am I correct?

Thanks for the insight there. Is there a visual way to tell the difference easily? Would yellow top injectors be a giveaway? or something on the turbo? These are just situated on pallets usually. When you say a "later Evolution" model, would this be post 1992? Meaning maybe I should be looking...

Since I blew mine up, , I was thinking about dropping in a 50K mile JDM one. It has this "Cool" "Cyclone" intake on it and all too! It comes with the ECM and transmission. So I was wondering if there was any advantage from the Jap market. I realize the Jap ECU will request better octane, so...

Anyone? I had a large driver in my car who didn't realize that the seatbelt clicking away and not all the way engaging down was not correct. After 15 miles, she pretty much stripped it out, I am afraid. Geez. Last time I load the car out to a fatty.

Thought you might enjoy a couple vids of me and then my daughter racing this winter.clickclick

Do you have a price? I am interested.Scott

Anyone have them?ThanksScott, in Alaska

Flying Eagle, The Soobies have a power split option on their center dif. He runs it at 60 front 40 rear. But so he doesn't plow and understeer into the corners, he does the same thing I do - a Scandanavian flick. We are "stuck" with 50/50 split on the Galanats but with the excellent tires, the...

So, is it possible to swap out the guts of an LSD 3 bolt into my 3 bolt rear end carrier? Good ice racing yesterday. I use Toyo Observe GSi 5 tires. Only a 2012 Suburu STi beat me, but I was on his tail within 20 feet the last 5 laps! Passing is the tense part because no one really wants to...

That is great info. I have a person near me getting rid of three turbo cars. All about 1990: AWD Talon, AWD Eclipse, and FWD Eclipse. They are mostly complete with one totally complete. It was project that was never finished by a cousin who is now in jail and will stay there a few more years...

I have read that some 92 models came with a 4 bolt rear end. Although mine is a 92, this looks like a 3 bolt one if I am going by axles bolts. Also, is there an LSD spool I can put in mine to minimize all the work of changing it? I need more traction in ice racing.

Thanks, Pot. I just PM'd bobdole.Scott

Just looking for a stiffer rear swaybar. I can get one on ebay, but if someone here has one or is a dealer, I'd rather go direct.Scott

I see a variety of them on ebay for Talons and Eclipse cars. But shall i assume our Galant will be different? This is for a factory placement of an upgraded (larger) downpipe. While I am at it, I might as well eliminate my 160K mile cat!

First of all, get that rear end up on jack stands and remove the tire on the side you're working on. RockAuto has the cheapest cables I have found. In fact, I have a right side one I didn't use if someone wants it! The difference in lenghts is about an inch and half length. The inside...

Anyone have one? Thanks, Scott

any sources for direct fit mudflaps?

I am interested in this and other parts. Contact me. Thanks, Scott

They sure seem intentional. But on the right side rear inner quarter panel wheelwell, there are only two bolt holes.

Aw! I am just one number down from you....way up here in Alaska!

Absolutely love the clock transformation! It is genius.

I have hardly any slop at all and the bushings appear good and do not show any significant movement. I'll have to try the 5K shift method.

Battery hold down hardware?

My radio works and my CD player works, but only intermittently will sound come out. They don't appear to have every been removed, but I was wondering if there was a source to fix these guys. Or is it best to put them in a box for the next owner who wants a completely factory set up and put in a...

I have no problem engaging into any gear, but shift up anything but nice and slow, it will click in right after you feel the resistance. Downshift is so sweet you think you're downshifting a Honda. zero noise, zero resistance, no matter how fast you go. Is this normal or a sign of something...

That sure is a long way from where a compressor would be plugged in! :-)

I wasn't the one who put this engine in after doing the balance shaft delete. But he also deleted the A/C. The plug I am holding is labeled A/C. But to the right is on a wire that further down is labeled Knock Sensor. It certainly goes down to a connected knock sensor and all may be well. I'd...

Update: I pulled the taillight relay, the round aluminum one and heard it click. I reinserted it a couple times and now my running (parking) lights all work. As for the dead right front blinker, I'll just need to trace back to where power starts. Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts, guys.

Is the 3G MAF so superior as a drop in that it is worth it?

All fuses were pulled and inspected and returned to their place under the hood and under the dash. The parking lights do work when the hazards are on, so I believe i can eliminate bulb sockets. And save the right front blinker light, they all function. It seems if there were a ground missing, my...

This 92 Galant VR4 car has hardly been molested at 160K. But I knew my front right blinker wasn't blinking. I then discovered I had no blinky power even going to it - not even with the hazards on. Looking further, I discovered that without the key on, parking AND headlights won't go on. Not even...

Just ordered some from RockAuto. I'll post pics of the process for the board. I'll do both while i am at it. Thanks for the confirmation.

I have read that you can remove the lower honeycomb screen and there is a screw in there somewhere you can turn out a bit. I don't see no screw, do you?

My left cable is busted. I can find a couple different on eBay at different prices promising they will fit. But I'd rather order the right one first! These are the ones promised to fit. Any guidance on my 92?Raybestos BC94325 WAGNER BC130764

Man, I'll assume it is still the original...but I don't know where it is located. Is the transistor pack another word for the coil pack?

What causes this bouncy needle. It mostly happens at idle where I am sitting at 800rpm and the needle will bounce up to 1200 and back again, yet the engine sounds very solid. It is more solid as I rev it, but the needle doesn't stay dead on at all like other gauges I have observed. Thoughts?

Transparent and Thom, Thanks for VERY detailed description you gave me. It was so good, I didn't even get it! The LETTER "T"! You were certainly dotting your i's and crossing your T's there. That is now taken care of along with a oneway valve. Any thoughts on my orphaned fuel line from the tank...

Transparen,You reference the Multi. I do not know what that refers to. Here is a pic of a multiple of capped nipples. Also, should I cap this tube that I presume used to go to my cannister? Thanks, scott

Thank you for the picture example. I already have that intake spot taken. Is this right? I also have another similarly acting vacuum on the valve cover to the left. This leaves my Blow Off valve hanging. The car runs excellent with no lights on. The turbo is smooth and doesn't give any...
