^Well goodluck everyone at the event. See you there never.

Thanks!

Quoting Gtpdz: An update on this... so I got the Koyo brass radiator ...Please tell me where you purchased the Koyo brass?

Thanks guy! Like I said I didn't invent it, I am like Clock-boy. I took a pile of parts and made them work to scare the sh*t out of people.

I am not speaking from experience here, but I believe the data PID you see in ECMlink is ECT which remains higher temp than what the radiator fan switch in the radiator measures to turn on (around 185). Condenser fan thermo switch is 212.

If you run into problems one of us will prolly bail you out.

Good eye OldHairyBastard!Not to hijack, but are there any documents floating around for the ECU board layout?

The MFI relay supplies the 12v rail at the ECU, which means no 5v either. So maybe you are onto something with your power supply issue. Come back to it with fresh eyes and maybe you will catch something you missed.Edit: Take pics of that MFI relay so we can inspect the solder joints and...

Signal wires pin 1 and 2 @ CAS should have 5v reference from ECU at KOEO. Do you have that?If not then you have a problem with your ECU. You can check other pins @ the ECU that should have 5v to see if it's a localized problem or the whole 5v rail.

Have you checked the ECU for diagnostic codes? Sometimes it will show a ECU fault code. Seeing as how you monkeyed with the MFI relay there should be several stored codes @ least. If you have 12v at ECU, 5v signal from CAS @ the ECU, you COULD shotgun a ECU @ it. Do you get the "check engine...

Injectors are a ground side switched circuit controlled by ECU. MFI relay supplies +. We need to figure out why the ECU isn't grounding the injectors.Your specific Crank Angle Sensor has to function @ least intermittently if you have spark. A good one rotating should have 5v pulse from the...

Does anyone make stronger axle parts or do you have to swap in a GTO/Cobra IRS?

I forgot you digeridoos and kiwis aren't up to speed on Ameristani politics.Please clap

Updating this for anyone who cares. Phone changed a setting and refused to talk to mail server for emails and I didn't see much point in talking about my junk without pics. Stick that in your innuendo thread.Oh no! Aluminium bracket!? That will never hold up!Next pic shows clearance...

If you take pics, please post up here so I can partake.

Quoting kumfasa: Sounds like a good setup and very similar to my own. The only unknown is the pads."It feels like the rotors overheat too quickly"Im pretty sure rotors cant "overheat" or all those pictures of race cars with glowing rotors would spell big trouble. When you feel brake shudder...

Internet wayback machine? I would hope the author Alpha Male has them somewhere. It's unfortunate bc I had it all apart a few weeks ago. But there are nicer installs than mine. Like all of them.

There is always room for posts about, including or remotely related to roof racks.

Scroll down You cut out the inner half of steel bumper reinforcement for the core. The size of piping and routing dictates the rest of your problems. I went short route and cut the hell out of the core support and headlight bracket. Most wouldn't.Edit: think there is a how to here. I cant...

I dunno what you're talking about mate. You are gonna scare the newbies off with that kinda language.

Quoting GTX: Hi guys, I need to install an additional tachometer with rev light. Before I burry myself into the world of circuits and figure out where to pickup a rev signal, I wonder if anyone of you has done it already on 1g/vr4? Mine is 91.Thanks A.Hi GTX,Ignition power transistor...

Quoting GSTwithPSI: I'm giving you a hard time, but least you're trying to get it back on the road. That's more hella hype than jack stand ballin, which is what most VR-4s around here are doing... Quoting FlyingEagle: ... and Colts/Mirage's .... and .... you got yours on before I did...

Quoting iceman69510: I have done my own alternator conversion previously, and questioned my own sanity.But points for keeping your attitude intact, and for using "ribald" in a sentence, even if not exactly applicable.Not breaking any new ground here or pioneering uncharted part swaps...

Quoting iceman69510: Well that result doesn't look worth the effort.It's not sir, don't do it. Stick with the stocker or buy a Bosch if you have the shekels and join the club.Quoting turbowop: So much for finding off-the-shelf alternators if you have to modify it like that to fit...

Performed a test fit today. Took extremely precise measurements with a tape measure. Attempted to make all the material removal happen on the alternator because my numbers matching Talon block is too valuable to be molested. Fashioned a fenestrated drape as to maintain surgical sterility. No...

Quoting GSTwithPSI: Quoting jrtech:If I play this game again I want to be able to buy something off the shelf and change it in the parking lot.Oh, you're that guyMy advice would be return the stuff you have, order the Rockauto unit and perform the repair in the comfort of your own...

99 cavalier pulley is what you wantThanks mate, is that due to the width and the alignment? Or the diameter? I see that it is 5-rib.I haven't read of this one, so please tell me all you can.

You are not wrong sir. I am not trying to persuade, convince or encourage anyone.So far I am in it for $85. Incl. core and shipping.There is limited local availability for our alternators the closest one to me is 1:45 away, I couldn't make it that far into downtown Tucson when my VR fried...

Well if I can locate a piece of mild steel around here... (which I cannot at the moment.)clickPlan to try something like that.Edit: I have a couple of Ford 3g alternator pulleys around here which might be the same shaft size as the CS130 GM crap. 17mm or ~0.670 But that's assuming...

What's the back story on this?

I have a 58-series in the boot from two Mustangs ago. That one tested good to 500CCA so it will need swapped out in the near future. That one is floating on an automatic Schumacher 2A trickle charger.The PC680 under the bonnet is always charged using the UNAPPROVED Schumacher...

Thanks FlyingEagle. ^ That is genuinely good advice.Open circuit voltage on the wet-cell is 12.47 and it has some life left. The AGM is fairly tolerant of deep-cycles. DO NOT MIX TYPES AND SIZES AND AGES OF BATTERIES.I pray to God that no one follows my example as the correct way to do...

She passed 180,000 mi today while doing the mountain commute! 14B running great.Unfortunately the voltage regulator fried today. Engine died twice but by some MIRACLE made it back to the driveway without being able to roll up the window.Edit: Ordered 95 Camaro alternator and 85854...

That is a sharp car, I particularly like the action shots where it's being pushed.When I get squared away, we'll talk turbo. Inspecting my radiator while it was apart has me concerned about the original brass core so I have other priorities. Weather has been over 37*C and will only get more...

The numbers match a 16G turbine housing. Has the three chestnuts symbol and casting number is 13700 070 something like that. P.O. didn't mention it. P.O. had one of every DSM (Talon, Eclipse, Laser, FWD, AWD, 1g, 2g, auto, stick), a couple 3kgts and was selling a Starion as well. So maybe less...

Here's another comparison of the 14B to 17C for posterity. The beastly 14B in it's new forever home. Intercooler saved a half-pint of oil.

It's surprising to me that the 1g maf and stock ECU will adapt with no tuning. I guess it doesn't go against conventional wisdom if you aren't doing maximum effort-PSI and have 101% duty cycle.It's handy to know it works with yellow tops.I have similar stuff: K&N-stock can, 2g ex man, 3"DP...

Quoting fuel:I'm running 15-16psi which is approaching the limit before it cuts at higher boost in 3rd/4th gear at >6000rpms.what's so special about a 17C wheel anyway? what are the numbers on the compressor housing - could it be a 16G?15-16psi. That's intriguing.The...

Quoting strokin4dr: I like this guy, wop! Sense of humor, and possibly foreshadowing the future of his engine if he continues down the path he's going.Post some pics and keep the thread updated with results and hell, I might send you some stuff I have sitting around to help the progress...

Yes sir, it was sarcasm and I apologize for my tone. As I may have neglected to mention, my financial portfolio is rather weak at the moment, otherwise I wouldn't be here begging for charity turbos and trying to bamboozle the ECU to give me more timing so I can ruin my headgasket.

I run a 20G on a stock JDM Evolution with no real 'supporting mods', which I guess would be the stock 510cc injectors, larger FMIC/piping and different MAF/ECU combination. Seems to run fine.What kind of manifold pressure can you run? What octane?Evidently the 17c/7cm "just works" with...

Quoting Imjordan: I uave a good stock turbo if you need it.Thanks mate. I appreciate the offer. Transparentdsm already took care of me. Should have her back on the road after the RTV holding everything together cures.

Quoting turbowop: Trying to jankify an old turbo Mitsu you're using to daily drive is just asking for it. Either fix the turbo, or get a car that runs well now and requires less maintenance.You are so cool. Thanks for the advice! How is your magazine car?

Looks like a 17c wheel based on precise measurement with a carpenter's square. Too bad the car has none of the supporting mods except for fuel pump.

Looks like someone swapped the turbine housing at some point with a MHI 7cm. Makes sense. The P.O. was a huge DSM guy. Less is more when you sell a car I guess.Edit: Looks like I did not have a 14b. This compressor wheel is bigger. Car feels exactly the same as my previous 91 that was...

My thanks to transparentdsm for the huge favor at his own expense.I am sure Tucson despises following my car in traffic. Drive too slow they tailgate and get frustrated. Maintain flow of traffic and they get the smokescreen. Just helping to build the status of our brand.

Quoting fuel: even if the turbo is on the way out I wouldn't bother disconnecting the actuator - the turbo will still spool and if the oil seals are shot it will still be burning/leaking oil.Leaking/smoking is fine. She smokes bad when I give her beans on the hill climbs here. I may take...

That was my plan. I don´t know if the ECU will lay back and let it happen, or if it will think it´s at 5* BTDC. I have never seen a timing advance table and don´t know the operation.

Let me try to articulate a little better. I´ve been blazing through searches, guides, how-tos, etc. brainstorming about how to fix this situation and I forgot how to speak to people.Trying to bypass the turbo so she will hold together. I want to give myself the best chance to climb the...
