I guess you need a very good machinist to run machined cranks. I am running a machined crankshaft right now, the bearings are weak and crank has marks you can feel. It might be a bad machinist, or contamination during assembly, or could be oiling issues.But I cannot trust the machinist around...

Thanks for the response.I have read the post on our forum regarding drilling out the balls to clean out the crud behind them and allow better cleaning. Sadly, the machine shops are not very good around here. So lets see how that goes.I was also of the opinion that i need bearings. Although i...

Hi AllJust to give you the background, the existing block I am running is weak. Therefore, I got a seperate engine as backup since I anticipate that existing crank would be spinning bearing soon.Following are the crank pics (Rod only)Following are the rod bearing picsJudging...

Firstly, that is a pretty decent kit! Would get one soon.Secondly, prior to firstly, my car ran for 2 days straight no issues, it was fine when I had a female friend for a long drive in the car .It has been parked for three days and now that i am cranking it, its doing the same crap again...

Hey toybreaker!Good to see your post after a long time! I dont visit these forums much, caught up with life.I found the problem. Its cam angle or crank angle sensor grips. As soon as i unplugged them both and plugged them back, i had pulses flowing through both the pin outs and car started...

Dear AllLately, on several occassions, my car started sputtering after cranking, as if running on 2 cylinders. However, it stablized after few seconds. Now the problem is permanent. The car starts, sputters, and shut itself down. I looked at the transistor out towards the coil pack, there was...

Hello Guys!I read somewhere online that all the 7bolt cranks from Evo 1-3 and Evo 4-9 are the same. Is it so? I tried searching for discussion on this topic but didn't find any.

I forgot to mention I have a RHD galant. I don't know if the vents between LHD and RHD are different

Hey!I am looking for the dash ac vents, all of them, the small ones on both end of the dash board, and bigger center one. I need to the complete working instrument with the option of moving inside vents to left and right, and the outer vents to up and down directions. However, I am located in...

You could also find the same mudflap with thicker rib cage. That one looks way better then this thinner rib cage flap.

Oh...only if I had a time machine through which I could go back in time and meet you :P

Any member here from the city of Riyadh - Saudi Arabia? I am here for a couple of weeks and would like to meet some fellow member, if there is one.

I have also heard about a hybrid setup, running a twin scroll manifold and a single scroll PT7175 turbo. I would like your opinions on this too..though i dont see how it can benefit.

My friend here is building his evo 8, he has already imported a totally built head and block from USA which has costed him a lot of $$$$$ and is waiting for his drivetrain parts. The next thing he has to order is his turbo and manifold. His goals for his evo are around 900hp-1000hp mark.My...

Where are you getting air from for the intake? Did you cut the sheet metal below your intake box?

Apart from the grounds, i would check 12+ voltage too at the ecu pinouts. You lost your radio stations without unhooking the battery means the 12+ voltage to the radio was restarted. Perhaps its not getting good voltage. Same could be for your ecu if the voltage source is the same. So i would...

That is not normal, is it? 120 PSI at 8k rpm? What issues can one face with such high oil pressures?Quoting EMX5636: 80psi won't be enough. Even the 100psi Autometer guages seem to pop on our engines sometimes. I know on my old Eclipse, I'd see 120ish PSI at like 8k with 15w50 on a 150psi...

Also check if the grips to the maf/injectors/coolant temp sensors are in bad shape or the pins are rusted, it can cause the same problem.

The same switchable drive mode gearbox also came in the Vr4 RS versions, a friend imported a complete half cut from Malaysia down here, and it had the same switchable gearbox.

How much are you asking for the dashboard AC vents without shipping?

^ Do share the pics here if you find them.

Hoping for the bestQuoting Turbro_Negro: Stock 2g DSM will beat a b16 honda, no worries.

Great! Thanks for the advice guys..will stick to the 16g.

Quoting citymunky:I find it funny people hate Honda's all over the world.

Okay...just out of curiosity, what additional upgrades would i need to run a Holset reliably?

Guys i am in a dilemma here. At this point my 2g 4g63t is a stock rebuilt, running td04 turbo with a 2g maf, stock fmic, 450cc injectors, 2.5 inch free flow exhaust, upgraded fuel pump, misc gauges, boost controller etc. I intend to change the turbo and the fmic setup. I already have the fmic...

Thank You for the pics, so with the holset, radiator fans are a no no. Which exhaust manifold is that in the pics?

I see...in your opinion, at what rpms would one expect to see boost on a completely stock motor?

At what rpms did u see boost? What boost were you running? Was the motor stock?

Yes Sir! Even the Hy35 pics would do.

Yes its not a direct bolt on. I am looking forward to do a swap to evo 8 16g after few days. Lets see how it goes, will post up a thread.

Any one running Holset HX35 on their gvr's? I would like to see some pictures.Thanks!

So how much difference, if any, would a evo 8 twin scroll 16g give?

^Yes perhaps..and it could be more than that too. I dont drive the car around much, nor do i take it to 5,000+ rpms. But as it needs to be corrected, i am looking forward to try it this weekened.

Thank you for the swift response. I guess i should "Play" with the OPRV this weekend before even thinking of putting that turbo on.We are looking forward to make an adapter between the manifold and the turbo which will rotate the turbo 180 degree and retain its twin scroll smooth path flow.

So guys the thing is that after eliminating the balance shafts during my engine rebuild, i am having very high oil pressure. The oil pressure gauge pegs at 100psi when the car goes above 3000rpm on full throttle. At cold its around 80psi, at warmup its around 20psi, but at full throttle the...

So his turbo blew because of wrong oil source?

Quoting mikus: Not sure what the T is, assuming that's "zero" on the case.I'd avoid setting timing on teh light at all and just use the "5" on the case. The angle is for sh*t trying to hit the "5" straightline, hitting "zero" would be even worse.So the base timing is supposed to be set...

I think in this case he wants to check the old plugs externally.

They are very wide, they would poke out of the front fenders, also they will touch the rear fenders on normal road bumps, depending on your ride height.

^^As he said. You could find any alternator which spins backwards and make it work. So...DO IT DO IT DO IT

I would like to know how effective is this stock boost gauge being used as knock gauge? I would like to do it too till i get proper logging equipment.

^ What kind of lugs/lug nuts are you using?

I have had the same problem. The car doesnt want to warm up in cold weather. I installed a thermostat and do see improvement, but it takes longer then 5 minutes to warm up. The thermostat had a rating of 72 degree Celicius. So i guess it opens up a bit early.

^ Yes that can be the case. Although i did not have any ecu code but while cleaning up my wiring mess i rewired the coolant sensor wires entirely because they were very brittle.

Hmmm..if its bad gas than i have burned through it a lot of times in the past couple of months. Of course some gas will always remain in the tank which cannot be used. I do not use E-85, just normal gas. I would like some ideas on how to confirm if my injectors are leaking.

It is consistent with these problems whenever i start it cold. I tried the restarting technique and it definitely starts again without any sputter. Also my fuel pump turns on with the ignition on so its not a priming problem with regards to the pump itself. So apparently it seems that the...

Yeah i wanted to do the same. You could drill holes in the aluminuim sheet for the oil drain bolt and perhaps a bigger hole for the oil filter, install a rubber bushing to fill the hole. This way you could take that rubber cover out to drain the oil and take the oil filter out without opening up...

Also my car cranks a bit slow after getting warmed up. Seems like the starter, or the starter relay gets heated for some reason. I got the starter checked and its fine. But still cranks slow during hot starts.
