Hey Ben,
Your talking about the only of my mounts I've not had to replace. Jacking on the Transmition worked well for the other 3 though. I would say to do that while someone else bounces on the fender and tries to get it to line up

success!!!!!!!!

I only had to loosen the fender side of the mount and jack up the trani..... the pin in the middle went right in..... The battery mount, re-install went with-out a hitch and I accually got to hear music out of my new Eclipse brand CD Player after installing my Optima Battery....

I have 3 more bolts to purchase to finish the re-install of the frame cross member under the trani

install my rear sway bar

re-install my front sway bar

purchase some coolant

fill the fluids

turn the key



so close I can taste it... maybe I can finish up tomorrow.... who wants to help??? I will start at 8am

tonight I heard the most beautiful sound I have heard in over 6 months.... I got all the fluids filled, the air intake installed and the clutch bled......
just then I reached down and turned the key....
the motor turned over and fired almost instantly
it ran and the turbo sounded awesome
it barely wanted to idle though since the o2 sensor wasn't hooked up and the new GM maf wasn't hooked up.... for a 4G63 running "blind" it ran great.... what a success!!!!

congrats all the hard work paid off

bout time! It seems like alot of us seem to be getting our rides put back together right now! I wanna see this thing sometime, I think as soon as my car runs again I might have to make a trip over to see you boys.

And speaking of projects getting together....KOU? Frank? I still await.

Congrats man!! I'm just waiting on money for an interior and to fix the oil leaks and then mine'll be on the road again.

Congrats Ben! I know you've been working hard and waiting a long time for all the hard work to come to fruition.

way to go gsx... it'll be a heartbreaker to see this thread go.

Congrats man! Looks like your AWD project finishes right when mine starts. Happy boosting to you

Sweet news. Who says this thread is going to stop? It is a DSM we're talking about here










j/k Ben

I was thinking of having admin remove the word "problems" from the title, but it is a DSM.... I will always have new problems

BTW..... thanks for the congrats guys.... I have poured blood, sweat and anger into this car (literally).

ok, guys, time to help me find a part real quick or a solution to the current problem....
when trying to hook up the GM MAF, I ran into another un suspecting problem... the translator is for a 2G and I obviously have a 1G '93 GSX.... the plug on the translator is a "flat" 5 pin and I need the 6 pin "rectangular" (I Think???). I either need to trade someone for a translator, or find out what to do to make mine work

any suggestions would be very helpful at this time

thanks in advance!!!

I gocher back

I set up the maf plug as if I was using a 2G MAF on my 1G ecu (thanks much to vfaq) then plugged in the 2G translator into the 2G MAF plug, adapted to the 1G wiring..... if you can make sense of this then you know more about what happened here than I do


.... the plug that NC Galant hooked me up with worked good... BTW, thanks for setting up my base settings on the translator.... after the GM MAF was plugged in and the O2 sensor was hooked up.... the idle smoothed right out, the car still needs logged but it seems to run good.

the front sway bar is completely hooked up, the rear sway bar is completely hooked up... the car is now what I believe to be road worthy.... I still need the exhaust hung, but other than that minimal time to button up a few last bolts, the car will hit the streets..... along with that we will have pics posted.... especially if I win COTM

some pics are posted in the "garage", thanks

Congrats GSX. Car looks good!

just what everyone wanted to hear.... I took the Mutant out for a test spin tonight, I was lucky that I didn't get pulled over with my 3" exhaust ending directly under my ass with no muffler (very loud!!!!) however, I did get a chance to test the new suspension a little and I have never felt my car handle the way it did tonight

I still have a few bugs to work out, the linkage for the trani needs adjusted as the car won't go into reverse or 5th.
you never realize how much you accually use reverse until you don't have it.

I still need to put my A/C fan back in place

I still need to tune my GM MAF as I can't push past 5 lbs of boost with-out hitting fuel cut.

I need to get the rest of my exhaust under the car
