It's a common problem on Evo 1-4 with earlier thrust bearing design. Is this eliminated or reduced beyond measure when the 4g63 is used in a push pressure plate configuration instead of the Evo's pull type pressure plate?

Here's the most commonly used "cure" for it on the MLR http://www ...

This creep removed other parts that were supposed to be delivered to a female owner in the same islands...which is a FELON, stealing US Mail!

He charged her $2k for a rusted, beater, Starquest that needed THOU$AND$
of improvements, too! :shock: (car was dangerous to drive!) :oops:

No brakes, worn ...

Professor Quest

Most of them have too much wear to bother with and it's not LONG enough
to take-up the slack from elongated holes & worn-out clevis pins, too.

Professor Quest

Very nice, Bill!

1289hp?

Which rear-end has it got? 9"?

Professor Quest

WHAT...you might want to know:

There are no "electronics", at all, cept:

82-93s, 700R4 used a conversion part that John's Cars (Dallas Tx)
(214) 426-4101 sells for $115.

We change-out a electrical part, that allows the convertor to lock via RPM.

A 3 year old can change-out that part. :roll ...

Professor Quest

Would a 700R4 trans fit that body?

Cause that tranny is far superior.

Locking converter w/ OD, too.

We stick those trannys into Jags, Supras, etc etc.

Ahhhh, :roll: not sure what you are driving at.

I don't recall posting a pic of a CLUTCH, MC, recently. :oops:

A shorter answer: 88 Starquest had a "recall", to replace the rod bearings.

Bill, I understand the injector circuit in the ECU, but it doesn't perform the same way as the fuel pump from my understanding.

Professor Quest

In a A/T, they are usually a SLIP-FIT, but RUST is the problem.

One gallon of Muratic acid is about $7.50, sold at pool supplies.

With a brush, apply Muratic acid and keep it damp with the acid.

Better to nose-down, your block. (like into a spare tire & rim x2 or x3)

Trust me on this, when you crank-up your battery charger, and the battery is still attached, the FUSE LINKS weren't designed to carry, that many amps.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182 ...

Professor Quest

If/when, you decide to, custom build a system....DO NOT, make
a typical, stupid move!

Remove the battery!

Use a LOW-AMP battery charger @ 2amps, to test your system & volts.

That way, you won't FRY, your ECU & harness...IF, you had built a fault.

As I recall...Starquest had TWO, 12v, power ...

Professor Quest

I didn't read it all, sorry.

Just so you know...the ecu uses 12v to power itself.

Very often, the GROUND, has it's own wire, routed,
as far-away as the battery cable.
On a Starquest, it's a mid-splice, (on the apron)

However, the ECU reduces the voltage, positive & negative
when sent & RECEIVED ...

Professor Quest

phl, here's another product you might want to make/sell.

This is a VIBRATION ABSORBER, attached to the engine crossmember on late 80s & early 90s VW, Corrado, G60, supercharged.

The VR-6 Passet had one 3 times this size attached to a large, flat area on the engine crossmember.

You could make one ...

Professor Quest

Agreed. I write the instructions, right on the pan with Magic Marker.

Just use a LETTERD drill bit (forgot the size

) and a centering, transfer punch, cause the pan is already drilled for dowel pins.

Many trans builders stoped using a gasket and GLUED the pan on.

Professor Quest

The very first attempt was to TRANSPLANT the pan to ANOTHER transmission. (which failed :roll: )

The center-to-center bolt pattern was NOT consistant ENOUGH so we went to DOWEL PINS to keep the TWO PARTS LOCKED TOGETHER.

And...it is CHAMPHER (on the top-side at 6 o'clock & 12 o'clock) so removing ...

Professor Quest

That's a very nice product you have to sell! :wink: I also sold the very same product but with dowel pins, so there was ZERO movement of the housing.
