WTF, are you drunk?

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

LOL. Nope. Bad joke bad joke....I'll lay of with the unnecessary comments.
(It does smoke a lot)

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

You do need an o2 sensor. Just cuz it may not throw a CEL if not hooked up, you still need one.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

I found the problem with the car running rich. Car looked like they used to have a SAFC on it and when it was sold it was removed, and no one bothered to hook the MAF signal wire back up to the computer...
The idle motor does not seem to work, and the driver side front wheel bearing is really bad. The reverse issue is a linkage issue, but we ran out of adjustment, it goes in, you just have to shift it into reverse convincingly.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Thank you guys so much! Without the forum i would have never ever figured this stuff out!

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Now i have another problem of concern....The problem with the wheelbearing(s) I don't feel obligated to return the custom white wheels to chim...The reason for that is when i bought the car i was promised nothing was wrong with the car except for the intake manifold that needed to be swapped. As everyone can see it turned out to be a lot more then just the intake manifold. The whole hassle of spending hour after hour figuring out what the problem was with the car. I understand the car was sold as is...well if the car was sold as is 3 custom wheels came with the car. Not to mention the problem with the reverse gear. I will most likely need to purchase new shifter cables in order to get a appropriate length.

Next the stock wheels that i received are in very bad condition simply put 1 of them is not usuable. The other one wont work until a new tire is bought.

Granted stock wheels might be cheap tires are not. I have spend close to Four hundred in parts. Not including a new set of tires and rims.

As already mentioned i dont feel obligated to return the tires. The same as chim did not feel obligated to give me a refund. I want to know what fellow forum members think about this situation.

I will have to purchase new bearings for both front sides. I have not checked the rear, but i assume they will need attention as well. The thread left on the custom wheels are less then 50%

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Alright, guys, Alpha D is obviously one siding this to an annoying extent.

Sold the car, told him the WHAT I KNEW at the time of sale to him. I had 3 of my Enkei's on there because I figured that he would return them, and I would give him the steelies.

We said that the enkei's were extra to the cost of the car, and he would be getting the steelies. I DID say that the steelies did NOT hold air.

Now that I already gave him the steelies, he won't give me my damn rims back, because he feels like I wronged him.

I seriously don't have time for him acting like a kid and feeling like he's justified in taking my rims.

Just because he doesn't feel "obligated" because new things came up, doesn't mean that he can keep them.

Seriously, he bought a DSM, and now thinks that every problem other than what I mentioned must be linked back to me. The wheel bearings are my fault? Thanks.

Learn to spell, give me my rims back.

If any of the members on this forum have any sense, they would be fustrated as hell in my shoes too, when I've been trying to help Alpha trouble shoot from day one.

The engine was picked up from guys on this forum, WE installed it, and did assembly other than the longblock and head being together.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Clowning on my spelling..... Guess that is all your good at. Dude you have made me drive to your place 5 times. 5 freaking times. You think its fun for me having to chase you down fitting my schedule around yours?!?

The whole reason why this situation is so stressful is because you didn't know what you were talking about. You obviously didnt know what you were talking about when you said you and your brother rebuild the motor after picking it up from people of the forum! Now all of a sudden after things went wrong, your brother wrote me an email stating you guys never rebuild the motor. You are telling everyone i am at fault. Weather you just simple wanted to sell the car. Thinking it is not necessary to to be honest. I guess you did not know the car had clipped wires going to the ecu huh? Neither did you know the MAF was trash? Neither did you know that manifold you gave me was wrong? TWICE DI YOU GIVE ME THE WRONG MANIFOLD! Neither did you know the car didn't shift into reverse? I know for a fact if anyone else was treated like that think they would not just let you walk of and carry the burden by themselves? Dude i should of taken you to court from day one! I politely asked you for a refund. You said no! You want your wheels back doesn't feel to nice when you are on the other end.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Ok, first off, my brother said that we didn't do the longblock and head, and it IS a rebuilt motor, with 0 miles.

Seriously, my verbatim, my brother did not say the engine was not rebuilt. He said that we did not do the longblock or head.

And no, I DIDN'T know the car had clipped wires going to the ECU. Guess you thought I knew that and secretly kept that from you too? Seriously dude. I told you WHAT I KNEW.

Twice I gave you the wrong manifold? I seriously find that hard to believe... considering the manifold I gave you came off a running 4G63T. Perhaps you are not installing it correctly?

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

?? I don't want a freaking 2G manifold or what ever the one you gave me came of from!

I told you i want a 1G manifold!!! How hard is that to understand. If you dont have one JUST SAY YOU DON'T AND QUIT GIVING ME STUFF I DONT WANT! As soon as you handed me the manifold i was like. The heck its the exact same one. IDC if they are interchangeable i want the stock 1G manifold.

Yes maybe you did know! Maybe you thought i wouldn't buy the car! All that stuff you have pulled just makes me think more and more other stuff is gonna go wrong with that car! No windshield no reverse no working injectors. Hood rich exhaust job. Rusted like no tomorrow. Missing trim pieces. Yet the car is in great working condition!!!??? Go figure man. Trust me its the cleanest 1G you fill find. Me and my brother ''REBUILT THE ENGINE'' I REPEAT REBUILT THE ENGINE'' All you had to say was inspect it. I even talked to you on the phone and asked you to verify. You said yes when me and my brother assembled the ''MOTOR'' Dont try and sell ppl no crap on the forum! I have witnesses to prove it!

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Seriously, this is a 1G manifold:

http://www.mirage-performance.com/so...anifold001.jpg

Two of which I gave you.

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...DWOYfmnQfc2u01

That is a 2G manifold.

I have no idea what you're doing wrong. Either of those manifolds I gave you are a direct fit. I didn't give you a 2G manifold.

No windshield?

Oh wait. I told you that? I also mentioned the injector seals?

Rusted like no tomorrow?

What trim pieces are you missing? The ones in the pictures that are clearly not on the car in my for sale pictures?

Assembling the motor (longblock and head already assembled) doesn't account for assembly?

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

your link to the "2g" manifold, is a link to a thread for the evo 3 manifolds.

ALPHA, if your willing to drive to fridley ill give you a 1g manifold out of a 92, for free, assuming my dad didnt toss it.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

Whoops on the link to the Evo 3 manifold. I just typed 2G intake manifold into google images, and got the first result.

Like I said though, Alpha, I'm 100% on the manifolds being for 1G heads.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

why must you bring this debate to this thread?

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

I dunno whats to debate... if he said the wheels were extra and you didn't want em then you better give em back. I'm guessing that Chim did not even drive the car after they put it together so maybe he didn't know about the bearing or clipped wire. I'd either keep it to pm's or quit whinning about it or you guys are gonna get the ban hammer. lol

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

x2, I'm broke and I'm tempted to toss out some paybans so you both stfu.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

+1 i've been debating it all day lol!

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

thank god im not the only one

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

When will they learn. When you buy an old rusty 1G, you can't expect it to be a gem. That's the nature of the beast when buying a 15+ year old car that's been modified for a good chunk of it's life.

Just deal with the problems when they come up, and fix them. If you don't have the time for that, then you really should reconsider owning a 1G because they often require attention.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

update, he told me that the engine is making just a shade over 100 psi compression on most/all of the cylinders. Sounds like this motor was built improperly.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

did you ever recheck the compression to see if it was your gauge reading low?

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

No i didn't. I still need another compression tester. No body has been able to stop by yet. Some good news though the car fires up. Hardly stays running due to the low compression cold, etc. I adjusted the By pass screw. It ran better after that, it didn't shut off on its own. Its nice not having to keep your foot on the gas to keep it running. Once it warms up it begins to idle lob. You can here a weird knocking noise as well. I hope its not rod knock or something. It goes away after the car warms up.

The car even drives now. It dosnt take anything above 3000rpm. You can here a HUGE BOOST Leak.

The leak is somewhere between the intercooler and the turbo. Everything past the blow of valve pretty much is good to go. Had a Friend Help do a leak down test while he helped doing wheel bearings brakes etc. During that test It was leaking from the intercooler area so we figured it must be a garbage IC. The old one was pretty dented up.

After installing a new IC we took the car for a test drive. It still leaked. So it has to be something else. I have not been able to perform another leak test again. Since i dont have a compressor at the moment.

I think the last problem is the Boost leak. After that i should have a solid or somewhat solid 1G for the time being at least.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

There's not much to check when it comes to stock boost pipe lines. Just take them off, inspect them, and replace if necessary. Rubber tubing is pretty expendable, I don't see where the difficulty is in finding the leak.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

I took them off all of. Now that i think about it I realized the hose going from the J pipe to the lower part of the intercooler. Has that weird fabric around it. Im taking it off tomorrow again to check. I am really excited to fix the last bits and pieces. It has been such a long journey. With a lot of help and pointers. I am sure once the Leak is fixed i should be good.

I am not a Veteran like some of you guys are. Being able to tell something is wrong with a clutch assembly by pushing it in and so on. So anything that doesn't sound right concerns me. Through out all of this i realized its a DSM things will sound a little funky sometimes. Or smell weird, and i should be happy the car starts.

I will post some pictures as soon as i get this attaching thing figured out.

Re: 1G Trouble shoot assistance needed
 

I have another question. . .Personally I didnt think the motor was rebuilt. But its whatever. Ill just believe what I was told. Now ''Since'' I have a rebuild motor in my car. The brake in probably has been already messed up. But If you were in my shoes how would you go about perhaps braking in the motor quote on quote just to be on the safe side?

There are so many different ways. A few of the things i came across were to take it around the block then do a few light pulls on the highway. Exposing the engine to all different kinds of loads. Keeping it under a certain rpm. Others say drive it for a few minutes until warmed up. After that just go all out. With so many different routes to take which is the safest?
