Lot of work has been putted in here :)

**laxinwarrior** · 04-21-2008, 05:06 PM

Congrats man, it looks great. I can't wait to see you get finished so you can get her on the road.

**bronxbombr** · 04-21-2008, 06:05 PM

Great going, shit looks nice. Wish mine can look as good when im done with it.

you shoudl turn the bov around. will make a shorter recirculation tube, and give you more better bov sound.

can't wait to see it with a hood on it and wheels spinning.

don't stop believing man!

whattt keep up the good work man....that 7g is lookin good

**Blue Ice** · 04-23-2008, 02:31 PM

Well. kind of a minor bump in the road...

The wiring harness i fabbed i think will work, i just have to redo some of the wire lengths, and routes through the harness. This may take a full day, but i'm waiting on a new cam Angle Sensor casing to come in from Mitsubishi.

Oh and in case you're ever wondering, a new CAS casing from the dealer
92-94 $600 = :o

95-99 $34 :)

glad i'm going with a 2g hybrid wireharness

That is definitely looking beautiful. As for that CAS, I highly recommend making friends with the guys in the DSM forums if you aren't already. Most of them have parts like these stacked up in their garages, and would be happy to help you out of you needed one. They can also be bought at most junkyards for $15-$25 if you pretend you have no idea what it is, and dress like you are homeless. Spending $600 at Mitsu is insanity.
Keep up the great work!

dsm damn 600 I would have went to the junk yard and got a couple....would have not been the first time that I would have done it.....but keep up the good work ice....hopfully I will be postin some pics next....

**Blue Ice** · 04-24-2008, 04:43 PM

welli tried to go to the jy last week. there was only one 1g dsm and the entire engine was gone. Unfortunately, the pick and pull is on the opposite corner of the city, and i don't like driving 30 min for "i hope they have what i need" then driving 30 min back empty handed. the ones on ebay looked pretty shoddy, so last stop was mitsu.

Currently, the wire harness is sitting in my bedroom, 80% tagged. ( which will make it easier to write a tutorial... if it works) I hope to get the things fixed and in by the end of the night.

Found this on Vfaq.com
http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/tech/1gina2g.pdf
For those that don't know i'm going with a 95 Eprom Ecu and a JDM 6 bolt so essentially it is a 1g in a 2g
This pdf by magnum made it so i could use my current 1g CAS. 1g CAS is better than 2g CAS cause i can adjust timing with the CAS itself.
Solution, hardwired the 1g CAS straight to the wireharness

**T-double** · 04-25-2008, 01:00 PM

cool good to hear some good news....

**Blue Ice** · 05-10-2008, 01:16 PM

finally got the power transistor today, but no time to work an the car. will find out if it runs this week!!!

**seth98esT** · 05-10-2008, 01:57 PM

Did you hardwire the CAS or leave a connector on its pigtail? Good luck man, keep us updated!

**lonestar22** · 05-10-2008, 04:33 PM

wire loom < wire tuck

Just hardwired it. my CAS was connector was off. If you get a 1g CAS with a connector, Magnus makes an adaptor that will connect right into a stock 2g wiring setup.

I worked on fitting the front bumper wed,

and also tried to get my lower rear sway bar on...
this is the result of using an impact wrench on the bolt

and this is how the car looks now

Hooked up the battery last night. got the lights and all accessories to come on.

Tried to get her to start today after work, but all it did was go tick tick, and then it blew the fuse the battery was on. Couldn't mess with it cause i had a B-day party to get to. While i was gone, i remembered i had a problem with the starter before i ever swapped anything out. So when i got back, i eliminated the fuse, and got the engine to crank, but won't turn over. I'm thinking there is a fuel issue.
