yeah but then the MPG will go down...

Quoting coyotes:







+ this one

 

[coyotes]

where can I get that!

I would like a VR4 sticker though for my rear windows.

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Crack whore stickers for everyone!

Not sure where to get the .Org stickers. Ryan (strokin4dr) sent me a couple for free with some parts I bought from him one time. Maybe hit him up?

 

[coyotes]

I think along with doing my FMIC and some more maintenance next month, I will try to send in my throttle body for overhaul.

I will probably knife edge and portmatch the TB elbow and the TB itself, maybe some mild port/polish. Have done a few WRX and 240sx TBs in the past with good results. Or maybe just pay this company to do it.

Should I do the blockoff/bypass modification? Looking for input on that. I like to simplify my engines and the less vaccuum lines/extra crap in my engine bay the better.

Do the egr block off. Install dual catch cans.

 

[coyotes]

yeah I have an EGR blockoff waiting to go on. Should I do the FIAV bypass/blockoff?

 

[G]

Depends on how cold it gets by you and if you drive it in cold weather. I would but that's just me.

 

[coyotes]

I drive it down to 15 degree weather-ish. that is about as cold as it gets here in WA. I take it up to ski areas, but that is about as cold as I've ever seen it. Rarely goes below freezing in the city where I live, I just take it on trips to the mountains.

EGR blockoff and FIAV blockoff or bypass gives me a CEL, right? That doesn't bother me too much, eventually I will ESMlink the car. Maybe sooner than later, I would like to make sure the ECU is in good shape.

 

[transparentdsm]

i have mine bypassed right now. the only thing that kinda sucks, is sometimes i need to hold my foot on the gas during start up for the first 3 - 10 second. i also had it totally blocked off on my 1G and the same thing.

 

[coyotes]

I have that issue already with my car, it seems to happen more often on hot starts than cold. Will start up, die. start up, die. I have to hold the gas down a bit, and it will idle very poorly until I put it in gear and drive. Once the car is driving it's fine. I just assume this is standard 4g63 operating proceedure or a vac leak somewhere. This is why I'll be glad to do my FMIC setup, remove the stock intake system and reduce the vac lines and redundant systems around. I want to get the throttle body rebuilt also and have everything reset. we'll see where the car sits after that. The dying and rough idle doesn't bother me much though.

 

[coyotes]

Anyone ever taken their foglights apart? Was thinking about tinting the inside of the lenses yellow, I have some left over from a previous car.

 

[Steve885]

I've seen that before I assumed they were yellow bulbs

 

[EHmotorsports]

I'm sure PIAA has some yellow bulbs that you can instal.

 

[coyotes]

THATS true, although I like the look of the glass yellow I think. Anyone done it? I looked around, couldn't see any examples.

 

[coyotes]

Do the torque solution Drive Shaft Carrier Bearing Support Bushings for 1g on JNZ's website fit the VR4?

[transparentdsm]

yeah i have them in 138.

 

[coyotes]

Make a difference? I have some drive train noise on decel and want to try this before I rebuild driveshaft.

 

[transparentdsm]

if you have noise its the driveshaft. if anything, adding these will only make the noise worse and cause the rubber in the carrier bearings to wear quicker.


a quick test to see if it is the driveshaft, lay on the ground put you hand on the driveshaft by a carrier bearing and wiggle it, if it moves you need to rebuild your driveshaft.

 

[coyotes]

alright I may skip then. I had read things of it improving or eliminating driveshaft noise though. I will just hold out to rebuild the whole thing. it really isn't that bad, only sometimes I hear it on decel while in gear.
