heres the problem.......lately it seems like a lot of the same questions are being asked, and members are having to answer the same questions over and over again, thus we have to weed through the same threads. Dont get me wrong, we welcome all level of Mitsu question in here, but we are also trying to clean up this forum a bit.

heres the idea....Make a sticky containing ALL the everyday questions we get posted in here on a daily basis. I need your help though. So in this post let me know what you think of the idea. Ways to improve the idea etc. Pro/con's etc. Then PM me with the question and answer to the question you guys think should be posted in the sticky. (ex. should i swap a 4g63 into my RS, is it possible, how much etc? then follow the question with your explaination etc.) I will then make one huge sticky with all the questions/answers i recieve. If i recieve 2 PM's from 2 different people with the same question i will consolidate the info. Just make sure you PM me with the question/answer that you think needs to be placed in the sticky and do not post it in this thread. I wanna try and keep this thread on topic...your ideas and opinions about cleaning up this forum.

-Eric

 

good ideas!! all hail eric!!

 

As I said before, I think this is a great idea, and you have a pm about some things that are repeated in here that should be a sticky.

 

definitely a good idea

 

Who`s we.

 

here are my top five things that need to be in the sticky
1.YOU CAN NOT SWAP A 4g in to a rs/gs
2.YOU CAN NOT SWAP A 4g in to a rs/gs
3.YOU CAN NOT SWAP A 4g in to a rs/gs
4.YOU CAN NOT SWAP A 4g in to a rs/gs
5.YOU CAN NOT SWAP A 4g in to a rs/gs

 

im going to start working on the sticky ASAP... gonna take some time, but keep sending your PM's with questions/answers you think should be addressed.

 

ok guys, i started working on the sticky tonight, please post your ideas and opinions in this thread... or PM me if you think i should add something to a subject etc... i dont want the sticky to get all cluttered up wtih BS...ok its late and im tired, im going to bed.

 

First in a series of posts.
1. Yes, you could theoretically make a 1g nt with the 2.0 fast while staying NT. Now don't ask us how, have fun figuring it out.

2. The turbo you want is the Evo III 16g. (perfect turbo for all who can't pick their own dang turbo)

3. Get DSMLink to tune your car.

4. Get in touch with Jerry, his name is lancerman on this board but he rarely posts. He'll rebuild your tranny/six bolt swap/engine build/misc. non-trivial work.

5. Get in touch with *insert several other local dsmers who do work on the side* he'll do *stuff Jerry doesn't want to do*.

6. www.3si.org

7. Just don't post about body kits, wings, neons, or anything that might generally be classified as "rice". You're just going to get flamed, so don't post it.

*edit*
I think you'd be safe in adding the Evo III 16G to the turbo list with 400 hp @ 24 psi as the power level, since people have seen that to the wheels with that turbo.

*double edit*
8. You can turbo the 420a in the second gen nonturbo Eclipse and Talon. You can make about 250 whp safely on the stock block with the right setup and proper tuning. It will cost you several thousand dollars to do it right. Don't ask about it here because most of us don't know and will flame you for whatever reason. Research it on www.2gnt.com

 

o man there are 100 questions i see evryday.....heres the top ones.

1. What is crankwalk?

its nothing, just buy the damn car and dont worry about it.

2. How much psi can i run if im completely stock?

16psi is safe, but you need a real boost guage to see how much you are really running.

3. If i have *insert mod list here* how much horsepower do i have? and what will i run at the track?

There is no answer as all dsms are different. Your best bet is to go to track and see what u run, and/or go to a dyno.

4. Do i have a 6bolt or 7bolt flywheel?

For the most part if you have a 1g, its a 6bolt, and if it a 2g, its a 7bolt. There are some technicalities though. Some early 95's have 6bolts and some 1g's have 7 bolts.

5. What is a BOV?

A BOV is a Blow off valve. They are referred to when talking about a CBV, or compressor bypass valve, that vents to the atmosphere.

6. How do i know if my bov/cbv is venting to the atmosphere or not?

There is a dumptube that comes off of your intake pipe. If the tube is hooked up to the BOV/CBV then you are recirculating, not venting. And vice versa.

7. Which BOV sounds the coolest and will get me all the girls?

None.

But if you want a more detailed answer of which one will work best for you, here are some of the more popular choices

A. Greddy Type S - This BOV was made popular by The fast and the furious(green eclipse). It has a high pitched wistle, and the best part is, it will recirculate easily. However, its drawbacks are that it wont hold high pressure, ~24psi is its limit. And the diaphram goes bad after time.

B. HKS Super Seqential - This BOV is alittle more unique than the majority of other BOV's. It uses a pull type valve that cannot leak under any amount pressure, making it perfect for high boost applications. It also has a wistle type sound, but its much deeper, and a single "PHHSSTTTT". Drawback is it does not recirculate without a recirculation kit.

C. Turbo XS RFL - Thie one is known for the being the single most loudest blow off valve ever. It does not recirculate, and has nothing special to offer other than being really f'ing loud(which is why the name is RFL).

D. 1g Crushed CBV - This one is probably the most popular for the average "got to get it done cheap and fast" dsmer. This one is basically like the Type S, but it does not look nice under the hood. It definetly gets the job done, and for around $50, who can argue?

8. Why should i recirculate when i could sound cool and vent to atmosphere?

Recirculating is better for our cars becuase when you vent, you are letting out air that you ECU already counted. So if you vent, u may have problems with idle, stumbling when shifting, and the car stalling when shifting from a gear to neutral.

9. How much horsepower can i have when i buy this turbo?

TD05-14B (stock 1g)......- 275-300hp @ 21 psi
TD05-16G (small).......... - 345-365hp @ 22 psi
TD06-16G (large).......... - 365-385hp @ 22 psi
TD06-20G.................... - 450hp @ 22 psi
T25 (stock 2g)............. - 235-250hp @ ?? psi

10. I just got my car, and was wondering what mods i should get first?

11. What bodykit should i get?

Ummmmm, none. If your still interested in one, try asking the guys at:

www.honda-tech.com

www.superhonda.com

www.ricerforums.com <------ok, i made that one up, but hopefully u get the point.

12. How do i *insert random mod install*?

www.vfaq.com

13. Why wont my stock 2g hold more than 12psi?

Because your stock CBV is plastic POS. Buy a new one.

14. Why wont my 2g hold more than 10psi after 5000 rpms?

Because the T25 runs out of breath at higher rpms. Get a bigger turbo to fix it. Even the stock 1g 14b will be better.



more to come im sure.
