Why not just get rid of all that emissions crap if it's a OBDI?

Emissions crap such as what exactly? The charcoal canister is completely disconnected. Otherwise I kept everything else just to see where I was at to begin with.

If there is an easy way to remove other things then I would definitely do it.


Something else I might add; when I had a shop tech. attempt to read the CEL code he informed me the computer wasn't communicating with the scanner. He suggested it may be a fuse however I have yet to locate a blow one.

The evap solenoid. I guess you weren't really super clear on what you had taken off and what you had left. What happens if you just run it without that little filter? just a straight line from the intake mani to the map sensor?

True, true. I had not listed anything. I am unsure what would happen without a filter. From what I can draw though is, the filter is there so that soot and such does not get into the sensor. I have considered running a brass fitting then an inline filter for a fish tank or something. Finding a fitting though is next to impossible. No stores carry fittings with metric thread.

I'd just rather not mess with a line with no filter then take a chance. Plus I've got a replacement on the way already. I just pray it is the same thing!

Couldn't you just run one of these inline? They cost like $1

Otherwise if you do an egr delete (or have done so already) there shouldn't be much if any soot in the intake tract.

I probably could have but figured why not try and see if what I found that looks right, is right. A direct replacement always works without flaw.

I don't have a picture but I redid the setup not two hours ago. I JB Welded a vacuum fitting barb off of a plastic T or Y fitting to where the vacuum line was.

I have a spare intake manifold from the old engine that I have completely degreased and cleaned. I had planned to port match the runners, then do an EGR delete. This most likely will happen this summer sometime. I have also thought about going to a 2g TB. It is all up in the air right now though. lol

Holy long time no update Batman!

Well okay, there isn't a whole lot to update you all on other than the car has more rust and the engine bay is filthy. I found what Mitsubishi calls a "gas filter" but I didn't find it through Mitsubishi; I had to buy it from Toyota. Go figure. $35 later the car was "fixed". It stopped dumping gas into the engine trying to wash the hone out, lol, and picked up quite a few MPGs. The check engine light remains however. Currently it is sitting at around 28 MPG. That isn't impressing me considering my GS-T got around 26 the last time I checked (two years ago).

So it looks like I'll be going with the plans I wanted to pursue with this from day uno. Stay tuned..

I picked up a car for the 4g63 swap.

I was going to use the front end to fix the Talon's front end alignment but of course, the previous owner screwed the front end pulling it onto the trailer. Whatever, I got the engine and trans out of the deal.

So far the engine is looking pretty clean. Hopefully by tomorrow night I can have the head off, disassembled and in the hot tank at work.

I've got damn near everything for the engine.

I'm waiting on the welding place to finish up on a valve cover, the HX35 compressor cover and my broken short shifter bolt. Then I'll have bung welded onto the oil pan.

Otherwise I need a bunch of gaskets, a timing belt kit, the Bullseye bolt-on housing, and intercooler, DSMLink and very few other odds and ends. Then this swap can finally happen.
