Run a diagnostic on your car to see if you have a faulty sensor.

ok so i got it checked out today (oil light), fixed the prob. wire was shorting or something. changed that and the unit. tomorrow i'm gonna do a engine wash and under wash and see where my oil leak is coming from and take care of that.

got the master cylinder used from fireman, going to get the rebuild kit from cyber evo in la romane tomorrow, hoping to install that on friday. cylinder works but thinkin to rebuild it while its outside one time.

how things lookin with the rest of you guys cars? i dropped my boost back down to 7psi, car feelin dead compare to the 14 Laughing

My boost turned all the way down and i still get 21+ PSi Shocked

Boost creep FTL.

When I get back home im going to build a new extractor with a wastegate actuator flange to remedy my problem. Also going to buy a heavyduty preassure plate and change out the extreme to see if it helps.

^ could also be a faulty wastegate actuator.

Tested it already, it works fine. This only happened after i installed the 3" exhaust.

janfar,i myself was having that same problem when my boost controller was installed. it was one of those generic manual controllers tho, used to gimme a little over 1.5 bars Shocked

so i ran back everything stock and took out the controller and im getting .5 bars now. 7psi.

W2J,i my wastegate acuator was bad, would i have the same prob even tho the controller is off?

btw, anyone ever tried the GSR gearbox, tcase, diff etc with the 4G63T (evo 1-3 or vr4) ? how do the ratios work with this engine?

does the GSR setup allow for higher top end?

Nik · Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 7:18 am Post subject:

well Death-Row, as you knw my GSR had an EVO III gearbox & T/C which gave me a shorter ratio... 1st-3rd was bess on a shoot out... top end felt almost the same as my EVO II...

your GSR g/b & t/c will work on the 4G63T but i suggest you get a complete setup... as you wont get what you want using back the GSR setup & the GSR t/c more than likely is weaker than the EVO III

note: the GSR, EVO I & EVO II/III t/c are all different. i found this out the hard way...

yea, from what i know, if you going e3 box, bess you get e3 diff, tc, full setup so the ratios will match.

i might be getting a deal on a vr4 engine without box, the 4G63T. so im just curious as if it would be better to go with the same GSR box setup and just drop in th engine.

janfar · Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:52 pm Post subject:

Ent Gool on the forums had a Evo3 gearbox with tc for bout 2k???

W2J, define notch... wouldnt a external be a better deal for future uses.

reza,check pm.

btw fellas, installed the original master cylinder i bought for the clutch, i bought the rebuild kit from cyber evo also. the gears going in like butter now. only 3rd still have a lil crunchy feel, gonna try some different gearbox oil cause when i run the car hard and stuff, after a while, the 3rd goes in great. thinkin maybe the oil is too thick or something? its belray.

Nik,yea man, thanks for the gearbox info. was doing some reading also, realise the GBs are different in truth. hope ur stuff comming along nicely also.

Death-Row · Posted: Sun Sep 06, 2009 3:04 am Post subject:

btw, did a under and engine wash, found where my oil leak is comming from, I THINK Laughing

around the sump area, gonna take down and reseal. hope this helps, once this is done, im going to drain all oils, gb, diff, tc, engine etc and replace with more than likely amsoil. hearing good things bout redline for our cars tho.
