That car looked familiar. that jbone/my old car?

btw jbone car lasted 185k on that tranny i stuck in it, gave it to my sis when i had my turbo model, and she sold it a few months back to someone that blew the tranny or rear seal out of it 2 days later. in case u were curious. got 70k out of a car that i paid $600 bucks for, and all i did was put tires and engine tune up.

he said 1.8L but either requires a timing belt removal to do.

star wars and stargate.

never really got into star trek

The ISC motor could be going bad, which is a common problem with 1G's

Thats a good looking truck bud.

I would imagine if your cooling system is losing pressure through the cap that could be causing it. I would get a new one and see if that takes care of it. They are only a few bucks if i remember right, so no harm no foul.

grrr bretts girlfriend. *drools on himself* hehe just playing bud

Turbo it!! The sound of a V8 mixed with the spool of a turbo.

and you have to rely on a DSM?

I doubt a bad ISC would be that severe. When was the timing belt last done? A tensioner thats going bad can cause your timing to slip a few teeth before major damage is done.

agreed. Ive never done it before, but use to always watch the muscle car show and trucks on Spike TV cause i love to watch other people work on cars for a change, and thats how i remember them always doing it. Tack weld the whole piece in, alternating your tacks so you dont build up too much heat. If you tried to weld in a line from one end to the other your gonna warp it like crazy. Its gonna probably be pretty time consuming, but go slow and allow the piece time to cool off

I tried just the gasket when i had my GSX and it leaked like crazy. Before i tore it apart someone just used RTV silicone. I ended up using the gasket and silicone and it worked just fine.

I think it looked better just plain black

If you have been in the head at all, make sure you didnt get one put in upside down, ive already done that once. Otherwise i think there is a site that sells 3g lifters that will replace your old ones.

Dont forget austin powers, the warm liquid goo phase.

Actually that spoof looks better than the original titanic. LOL

I used the pan gasket from the auto parts store, and siliconed the crap out of it and it never leaked on me in the 6 months i had it.

Ive got a stock 2G tbe free if your in the mt. sterling/quincy area.

Depends on what your wanting. I personally love my new 3g and dont regret trading in my gsx for it. I love the interior, and the look. Ive drove the 4g and dont much care for it (unless you want a factory sub). I bought it for a good looking daily driver and used 3G's arent badly priced. Of course if you want a fast car, 1G's are going pretty cheap now, most people can afford having both. I know when i get a house someday, i will get a 1G or 2G to play with. It definatly has a lack of crap your pants acceleration that my GSX had, but i love going out and knowing my car will start, and when i leave a parking lot, i dont leave a quart of oil behind.

I guess there are enthusiests for about every car out there. People buy 3g's for the same reason people buy 1g and 2g NA. Oh and i almost forgot, i actually have a warrenty.

Ive actually seen posts where they did a GSX conversion to a 3g, which would be cool to have, but i guess would still be like having a 1G with about 400 pound sandbags attached to it.

Just my $0.02

I used this one on my GSX and had no problems with it, plugs right into the factory harness, and cheaper than what advance had them for around here.

Edit: Dur im a retard. Sorry i clicked on the wrong machv link in my favorites. Sorry bout that, guess thats what being up for 30 hours straight and 3rd shift can do, here is the link i meant to grab.

knock sensor

akamiami's diagram is the correct way to install it. Of course the end thats cut off on there goes to the intake manifold.



Not sure on a 2g, but on the 1g's the lower intercooler pipe nipple should be capped off.

Im assuming you have an aftermarket boost gauge? Are you sure its good? Just something else to check.

I could help you with the transfer case if you cant find one. I have one to a 90 that was driven without oil (bad rear seal) but not locked up or howling. Free if you want to pick it up in mt sterling (2 hours from peoria). Wont be on the net the rest of the weekend, but if your out and about, my cell is (217) 430-9788 if you want to make arangements to pick it up

I would put a new water pump on since your that far into it anyway, and not have to worry about it again.

As for the manual tensioner precision has, he explained to me that you need to run without timing belt covers, cause you are constantly having to check and adjust the tension. I opted for a auto tensoner from the dealer since i wanted to leave my covers on and not have to mess with it. But my tensioner did cost 120 bucks, so i guess its your choice there.

For the balance shaft removal, there are a kits you can buy, or if you want a cheap fix, you can cut the rear shaft from the oil pump drive and not hook the belt on the front balance shaft and your good to go. Thats what Precision did to mine.

Here is the link to a post in which they talk about the different syncros and have a couple guides that may help you. Thought maybe it may help, and you may not necessarily have the wrong parts.

Im not sure if this applys to a 2g, but im pretty sure i read somewhere that the new syncros from the dealer are a "revised" version on 1G's

Ive had the plastic button that engages the clutch switch fall off my clutch pedal before, i put a new starter in and retraced the wiring before i found the button in my carpet.
