1JZ Swap into a 1987.......Mitsubishi Starion

[19cturbo]

It was later in the night when i had issues, what makes me mad is this is a stage 4 competition clutch i bought brand new.. maybe 500 miles on it. i shouldnt be having any problems with it.. I pulled out and went through first, and into second and it was like someone just pushed the clutch in and wouldnt let it go..

in that video i had just let out of it.. lol

 

[19cturbo]

These little guys should help get this thing moving!

nice, did you pull apart your clutch and see what went wrong? It might not be the clutch it self just another compenent of it.

I just assumed it was the clutch bc the same thing happened to my buddies suburu about two weeks ago and it only has 60,000km on the whole body. But I think the previous owner bagged it. I know my old ranger locked up before when the clutch cylinder siezed up but the tranny was kaput as well then. But the clutch was still decent.

 

[19cturbo]

ive not had a chance to pull it apart yet, i did crawl up under it and have my buddy push the clutch in and out and everything else seems to be working as it should. the slave is moving, the fork is moving and it looks like the pressure plate is moving. so im believing that the pressure plate is somehow messed up. and not putting pressure on the disc..

lol gotta be having fun atleast when you break something.

 

[19cturbo]

well, broke another axle, same side.. decided to swap rear ends this time and see if that helps, so far so good.. currently looking for an upgrade..

[BOHO]

Is it another 4 bolt or you went 6? Or looking for 6? I talked with Phil about it...He was fine on the 4 bolts until he started getting under 1.8 60ft times on radials. You shouldn't be breaking them on street launches. I'm hoping that diff was just lashing because I don't plan on upgrading for a while...

 

[Beals]

loll just goes sideways in a straightline under boost. wicked how many lbs of boost you pushing? yeah when you get slicks traction likes to break things, is it hard to find a rear-end that fits your guys' platforms?

 

[19cturbo]

I mean, obviously we can make anything work lol. But there isn't much you can just bolt and go. Its still on stock boost, it's completely stock at the moment. Just waiting to get my single bolted on. Then we will begin to play.

 

[19cturbo]

Boho I'm still 4 bolt. I've sourced a 6 bolt and will be doing that shortly. I wouldn't think they should be breaking either but I broke two. So I don't know. I'll see how this holds. I really want to get my single on before pigeon forge, but don't know if that's going to work out or not. Hoping it does.

nice build!

 

[19cturbo]

Finally got around to installing my holset.. i freakin love this car! this engine is so amazing.....

tried to teach my little brother a little bit about cars..



braced up the xs power manifold, i know its cheap but so far its held up great











had to rework the wastegate flange, and braced it as well

 

[19cturbo]

had to get a new battery, and build a dump tube..














spent the day cleaning up the intake pipe for the turbo, and welded a nipple to connect the valve cover hose back.. I used a 120 grit sanding disc on the angle grinder, then cleared the piss out of it.. love the way it turned out



tried to help protect the wiring harness as well..



and a crappy short video of 1st and 2nd gear.. i was doing this myself so you can see it didnt work so well haha..

[19cturbo]

Well i had to pull my transmission and send it off the marlin crawler for a rebuild. so in the mean time i decided to clean some things up and moved the ole girl to a new home..

Engine and tranny out




Moved her over to her new home




Started the cleaning process. Hours and hours cleaning the upper and lower intake.






Installed my 550cc injectors, got the wired up, and installed my resistor from a 7m






I was pleased to see how clean things looked inside the engine




Then i moved around to the front of the engine and began working
