Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well..... I did a boost leak test and had a MASSIVE BOOST LEAK ( wont hold more then 1lb of pressure.. ) where I believed to be between the SMIM and head so I took all that shit apart and put some black rtv on both sides of my plastic gasket. Well, after putting it all back together I did the leak test again just to find out that it was actually my Injector O-Ring..... So I'm headed up to Primo to get some new ones and try it again.. I'll keep you guys updated.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

figure out a way to get that iacv hooked back up! There are more then a hand full of people my self included that have done the same thing that you did and all say it sucks. its not robbing you of any power so get it back on there.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^Negative. On a side note I got my injectors sealed up and ready to go. I have some leakage from the tb seals... When I got it all hooked back up I went to start it and the battery was dead...... Well, I'm going to bring my battery to work tomorrow for charging and then see what happens after I throw it back in.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Is there a positive you see to not putting it in besides not taking a few minutes to get it to go back in? It isnt hurting your power at all so why not have it run better? If you ae using a dsm TB then why not hook it up? I can see if you had a q45 or something.

It clears up space. Those coolent nipples catch on my fuel line and I don't like the clutter

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Car that runs nicely > Pretty engine bay IMO

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

This is a very nice car, youve made amazing progress on it as well. Its very inspiring, and a real motivator to continue the visual aspect of my project instead of just focusing on the performance. Turning and stopping fast is just as fun as straight line speed.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Thank you, its nice to see my car making other people feel good because this car is stress and sometimes I don't think I can motivate myself anymore but somehow I keep truckin.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

X2 now put it nack on there and quit being a typical dsm'r. I had mine on and I never once had anyone say anything about it being there and you can barely see it.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I don't care that its there.. If it becomes an issue down the road it wouldnt take much to put it back in.. JEEZ you would think this is your car...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

:) I want a ride in it so get it on the road!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I installed the head lights, tail lights, and reverse lights today. Also, put on the exhaust that I dont want to run but need an exhaust on there for the time being, then I took the car for a little ride around the block and the clutch needs adjusting pretty bad, It inguages almost at the floor.... Anyways I'll get some pics up soon and maybe a video? we'll see.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

good work! Why'd you call though?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

:angryfire:I'm having clutch engagement issues and have been putsing with it for hours and have no idea what the hell to do... I can rev it up and my car will move with the clutch at the floor.. I watched a jacks video on how to adjust it but no matter what I do it doesn't change. I'm at a loss......

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Did you torque the pressure plate properly? which clutch is it? standard single discs will drag at somewhere above 7k rpm usually no matter what, is that what you're experiencing?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Its a ACT2900 and it was all torqued to spec, its engageing at the floor and yes it is draging at high rpms... jacks says you shouldn't have any drag though..... I'm just frustrated to my limit right now...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Come on man its a DSM you have to have ALOT of patients otherwise sell it because they will do that to you. You do have that longer rod in the slave cylinder right?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I have the longer rod in there. I won't give up on it but its not helping that I wanted this thing done by brainerd.. if it keeps going this way I won't be making it out there..

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Did you properly bleed the clutch?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Yes, twice

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Do you have a link to this video from Jack's about adjusting the clutch?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well after doing some research I might have a bad master cylinder... I will call shep tomorrow and see what he thinks. Until then the car is going to sit where it is. Out of site out of mind.. Until I call tomorrow ofcourse :)

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well my phone died, but I seen you called again. Last year at Brainerd my car was doing the same thing. No matter the adjustment bleeding whatever, it would move forward when I bounced off the 2-step. I just held the e-brake at the light. If you figure it out lmk for sure. I think mine eventually fixed itself but I also had the tranny out 3 times in 2 months after Brainerd.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well I started my new job yesturday and didnt have a chance to call shep so I just sent Jacks a email asking what he thought and am waiting for a response. Last fall I did a launch and when doing so the clutch felt like it was engaging at the floor so I parked it thinking the clutch was toast. When I replaced the clutch I then found out that I had a hole in my clutch line from wearing down on a moving part. SO, I bought a ss braided line for it an put it all together just to find out that its still doing the same thing?? EVERYTHING IS NEW except the master cylinder... New slave with extended slave rod, cutch line from master to slave, clutch, pp, everything except master.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else thinks it could be my master cylinder? Any input would be great.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Or a bent clutch fork? Did it look bent when you put the clutch in?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Damn... Just went through your thread. Looks like a pretty sick build sir. Now I understand why you said "Hey! There's nothing wrong with a 2gb red eclipse.", lol.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Clutch fork looked to be good when installed.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I ran a billet clutch fork and had no issues.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I talked to shep and he said for sure next step is get a new master cylinder then if its still doing it I might have a faulty pp...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I ordered up a new master cylinder from brookdale today on my break, should be here just before the weekend. Hopefully...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Jacks transmissions got back to me today and he thinks its an internal leak of the master cylinder. Good thing I ordered one up already!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Couple of pics of the car now. The hood has about 1mm of dust on it thats why it looks like that. and the tail lights and reverse lights were done by Primo a while ago just got them on. they look darker in the garage but there only a cherry tint and not black.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

also is a pic of the exhaust that I am stuck with at this time but will eventually swap out to my old one.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I dont know if I will make brainerd this year.... I'm waiting for my master cylinder and then I have to bring my car up to Primo to fix some piping and also to make my Tial dump tube...

Things I need to do:
1. Get my master cylinder installed and hope thats the problem..
2. Get my H11's installed
3. Wire up my BAP
4. Rewire my fuel pump
5. Get my intercooler piping fixed
6. Get the Tial dump tube made
7. Trim my front bumper and install
8. Drill hole in the back of my car for cut off switch
9. Fix boost leaks
10. Get tuned

There's probably more but thats off the top of my head.. I don't think that I will make it to see Shane and even if I did he is probably booked all up till proving grounds...

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

You may not be the only one, not making it. If we miss it lets shoot for the one in July.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I would have to say that a red car looks way better with factory untouched taillights. Hurry up you will make it to the MAP event!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I really wanted to make it to the proving grounds and my new job said that I could have that weekend off but the car prob. won't make it.. So, if the car doesn't make it then I might not even go.. I would be sad to see others race and me just sitting there......

Also, I had just told Rachel that if I didn't make it to proving grounds that I would try and make it to import vs. domestic! If I can get the time off... and the car is done....

Way to be a dick about it.. I happen to like the tail lights thank you.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

For sure, just let me know.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

just keep plowing ahead buddy! You can do it!
