oh well if its non turbo

first off your a ***** for not having a turbo dsm, otherwise its just a chick car lol jk.....not really lol

secondly you dont have to worry about the crankwalk thing then, thats only for the 7bolt. its just an old car then, so far though that cheap for parts, i spend 5k on mine before i dumped it.

also i have an extra sunroof if you need glass from it. fell off the tracks so its just collecting dust in the garage.

ORIGINAL: Silentalero

is yours the 4g63 engine?

turbo im assuming? if you dont know look at your exhaust, if it has 1 pipe its a non turbo, if it has 2 its a turbo. easiest way to tell. and i mean 1 pip sticking out of the exhaust not dual exhaust.
No mine is a 6V72, 2000 V6 GT. I do most of the work myself, but I think my noise may be the fuel injector or the air release valve

yeah as a former "DSM'er" they are not a reliable cars and should be only used for project cars and such, but when they work they are DAMN fast.But another thingthat i dont think that was mentioned is that you could have a massive boost leak! check the intercooler hoses.

I had a 91 eclipse with a rebuilt motor at 105k....engine lasted for 22k miles on a rebuilt motor.....My car started acting up about 20k miles after rebuild, would die while driving, then it just wouldnt start........ECM was bad, the car dealership never figured it out, they had it for 2 weeks......I pulled it out and the capacitors in the computer were bad, replaced them and it fired right up, but the car burnt so much damn oil isnt wasnt funny.....they changed theECM on the 95+ cars......

But the day I sold that car was the happiest day of my life....nothing but problems out of that car. the day after I sold the car the guy called me and said the motor locked up, had a warranty from the dealership, but of coursethey would not cover it.Will never buy another DSM again.....never
