ive had a 2gnt,now currently have a 1g tsi awd and a 92 gvr4. I stumbled upon the gvr4 a few years back and couldn't pass it up.( especially for $1500 bucks ) I love my 1g, its my weekend warrior, the gvr4 takes me to work everyday and back and has enough umph to not be boring. the build quality...

confirm the clutch master is giving the system pressure, then keep moving on down the system.

how bout a vid of the sound? have you grabbed a stethescope and pinpointed the sound? sorry to hear your woes, I got my dsm with about 150 miles on a brand new rebuild including heads, pushing coolant under boost, go figure. good luck with it? keep us posted

i would turn it down to like 10 psi until you can get a WB and get it sorted out. be carefull.

if your setup isn't going to be too crazy, i would definatly opt for an an oem evo core,srt4 core or a good used brand name one. the ebay cores aren't bad imho at least on low hp aplications. I have a old school starion core with modded endtanks and it works fine for my small 16g.my 2.

more info on bullseye turbo please.

so i take it this is a direct drop in?

i have a 180 deegree in mine, and didn't notice a difference in mpg either. with this florida heat coming up, if your gonna be beating up on it, a 170 deegree thermostat might not be a bad idea.

Quoting kooter: well sir if my spelling is your biggest complaint then I am truly sorry if I have offended or upset. I shall strive for perfection next time.lol. I like this guy. welcome to the boards. hopefully the anal retentives wont scare you off.Ths is a very good board for info and...

lol. I moved from the bay to miami, and you move from miami to san jo. I guess we kept the state to gvr4 ratio intact, the balance of the universe is still intact. welcome to the board. good thing about cali is the roads, try to hit up the niles canyon when you get a chance. bad things, damm...

yeah, lol. Still working great.i'll pm you my #.

pics in and out of the socketted 1g ecu. if it's good I see a road trip coming...lol.

oh man I wish i could got to this!! that look like so much fun aarrg.

yezur. welcome to the site, nice to see aother dsm owner pick up this wonderfull 4 door. good luck with it.

is the wiper combination switch available?

how much for the master cylinder ?

Quoting Brianawd: Go look at my members page. I have 16x7s with 225/50/16. I like the look because a 16in wheel is small and putting a low pro tire on makes the wheels wells look big. With the 225/50/16 it makes the wheels wells look filled.ditto.

does anyone know if the speedo cable from a regular galant (4g63) or a 1g dsm (turbo or not) will work with the gvr4? I looked for it on CAPS but can't seem to find it.

i prefer to take out the radiator and wor comfortably.

how much for the rack and pinion and is it vr4 specific?

like it was said before, they look about as good as vents can. nice car, yeah here in miami or south florida for that matter since there's so many straight level roads, there's tons of high hp FWD cars roaming around. one thing still remains though, thre's no roll lane at the track . hey...

I have a megan on my 1g for 3 years now and it works great. I have agarage custom one on the gvr4( till curve then 2/12" till cat)stock bend. the megan feels better on the butt dyno bet the dsm is lighter too. as far as the difference before and after, I was happy with both results. I think its...

don't forget the smog nazis are gonna be after you so at least keep it stock looking under the hood. Im originaly from the bay so I know how it is. the good news is you have AWD so only the sniffer test applies. I love seeing the smog techs face when you tell them your AWD. The best donor car...

these little lists always helped me out when searching for a ecu. hope this helps, I didn't make it, but I do use it. I don't remember where i got it.clickECU # Year Model Displacement Transmission Emissions Notes MD081123 1985-1986 Pick Up 2.0l MD102608 1987-1988 Pick Up 2.0l Manual...

thats just plain sexy.welcome. I wish I could have one

Mine had the same problem and it turned out to be a nice sized crack around th wastegate flapper. at first it would boost fine for a couple months, then it started getting laggier and laggier.pulled the 02 housing and saw the crack. threw a another small 1g in it and bye bye lag.

Don't have a picture to show but I do have some input on those sprint springs. I had them on my 1g and 1 of them snapped while crusing, didn't even hit a bump or anything. rode like crap, just a bad quality spring IMHO. I have been debating lowering my gvr4(DD) for a couple of years, while they...

compressing the spring is kind of a dangerous task if you've never done it before. It is not difficult, but does require you to pay special attention, again if you've never done it before.Specially the first way it was described of doing it.There's just no way of telling wich way the spring is...

looks like you got a project on your hands. I would buy a factory service manual on cd online wich will include all the wiring diagrams youll need.

I have been didling with my maft for a few months. from the information I have gathered, it's best just to set your injector compensation with the maft and fine tune with the safc. I have been able to set the fuel trims on it but I have not done any mid or wot tuning with it. Im about to cave in...

grab a voltage tester, set it to measure resistance(ohms), and measure the resistance of the injectors.make sure the resistance of your new injectors is the same as the one of your old injectors. I'm pretty sure we use low resistance injectors. If you put high impedance injectors on a low...

yeah at 226. you started another thread on the same topic?All the 1g's I've ever logged on all the fans have started at around 196 degrees give or take.

valvoline 20w-50. it's hot here in miami and my little 4g63 has about 160k on the clock.

replace the fan switch. it's on the lower part of the radiator. Your fans first speed isn't turning on. I've already delt with this on my 1g and my vr4. your fan should be turning on at about 196 degrees.

because if your on a budget like me, and you need perormance cams, you can just hold off and buy some used hks's,bc's, etc, from a member here for about 300 bucks, or you can get some nice regrinds for that kind of money and actually have an upgrade. that's just my opinion. I got some nice hks...

my old 14b on the galant had a pretty big crack on the WG flapper area and it would still boost 15-16 psi. mind you it wouldn't boost any more then that and it was really,really laggy. is your car feeling laggy?

wow that seems like high idle for such low hertz. are you compensating with anything? afc? maft?

are you logging? is their knock ? maybe a wot log might help decifer your situation ?

turning down the boost is definatly a good idea. is the thermostat opening right? I get new thermostat at the shop that fail new all the time ? did you do a pressure test on the cooling system? has the timing beeen triple checked? a/f ratios? justt throwing ideasout there?

mine have been like that for about 3 years since I bought the car now. I never get around to doing them and other issues start to plauge me before I can actually save money to buy the u joints. might as well change em if you have to take out the carrier bearings you now? piece of advice though...

I would also use the stock mas also. after it's broken in, I would definatly do the fuel fump and afpr mods once the motor is broken in before tuning.

great, that clears up alot. thanx. I guess the mid is pretty close then. I guess I'll just go wot tunning once my fuel trims are in order. thanks.

I've been running the maf-t for a few months and have begun to see it's shortcomings.first my setup. Small 16g,510 cc injectors 3" maf, w/ supporting mods. for one the tunning isn't on the fly so resetting the ecu to see if you got the fuel trims right or anything else right is a PITA. I almost...

I am currently running a 2g head with a 1g intake manifold. The intake side of the head is port matched to the 1g intake. there's a step in the head if you try to use the 1g IM on a 2g head. I didn't like it, so i port matched. while i don't have any numbers to prove it. On the butt dyno, the...

Quoting niteoner: ya it gets spark and fuel my friend told me that the injectors are not opening upby this you mean there isn't any injector pulse? if so, and you have one handy(wich you shoulld), try another ecu.

if you want to vent the blow off gases to the atmoshpere you have to get a blow thru setup with a maft. A maft is a MAF translator that allows you to compensate for injetor size, crudely tune, and reads air via a GM MAF sensor. If you are running a stock or 2g maf, you have to recirculate back...

a smoke machine is the best way to check for vacuum leaks. I know not everyoe has access to one. but what you do or should have access to is the boost leak tester wich should do the trick. if you find no leaks and everything checks ok. check your ecu for leaking caps and swelled isc drivers. I...

normally you would first check for spark,fuel,injector pulse and ignition pulse, but since your describing white smoke, I would just skip to a compression test. First do a dry compression test,then do a wet compression test. If there is a big difference in compression between wet/dry the problem...

if you can afford the moog ones go for it. I have the $10 raybestos on my car for about 9 months now and I have zero play. I checked it last week. It caught me at a bad time when i was low on funds so I tried em. Im pretty hard on them too. I like curves.lol

Quoting mikus: vr4 love is like a foot fetish, you just can't explain that sh*t to normal folk.lol. thanx for the new sig.hahahaha!So, to the OP, have you made a desicion yet?
