  1. It's not a clean fit. But it's not terrible either. It's a generic sunpro 3 gauge pod. I used my dremel to shave some of it away, and then I crafted a zip-tie/screw mounting setup to get it to stay. The volt meter at the top is really quite close to my face... lol.
  2. Straight piped from Turbo all the way out the back. I've looked everywhere online for an affordable exhaust and can't find anything that isn't like 600 bucks. :-\ Thanks. Amber LED bulbs.. tried my best to make it look "oem"
  3. Video of my car running with gauges and everything. Please reply if you think or suspect something isn't sounding right or running properly.
  4. I got this Vynll paint stuff for some sections of the seats. But mostly just armoral. haha My fav interior upgrade is the steering wheel.
  5. Thanks Guys!! It runs good... I've still gotta break in the engine... before i call it a completed project

  7. Ok thanks mine's an 87 with 87 ecu, fyi. 88/89 still apply?
  8. Are you referring to the closed loop scenario that happens when the O2 sensor is open and the engine defaults to a rich setting? I checked my plugs and they seem to be firing great. rim of plug is black with the center nice clean and white. I did have quite a bit of gas in my oil upon first start up after getting the motor back into the car, but that was because of me being careless and having 2 plug wires backwards so 2 cylinders weren't firing. I could smell the gas in the oil... Since then I've done 3 oil changes only running the engine for able 20 minutes or so at a time, no hood so possible a few times it did not even warm up (the gauge wasn't at the middle yet). I'm familiar with the way the ECU works to an extent, but I'm not familiar with some of the terms that are thrown around on the Forums....... That's why I asked. edit: I assume you're referring to the big repair manual for the car too when you say FSM chapter. Don't have the manual actually. When I was putting the motor back together and into the car I borrowed a friend's Haynes manual. He lives here in Fresno.
  9. Ok I was considering this anyways.... What do you mean exactly by Engine running in an open loop?
  10. Would putting 10w-30 in with risoline treatment (zinc additive) have any cause to low pressure? I see alot of people posting that they put 10w40 in their motors
  11. 100psi?? that seems kinda rediculously high.. Is there any official mitsubishi rated page that says what required oil pressure is??
  12. Yeah.. I tried cleaning the stock sender... goes almost to 3/4 cold but no higher. I think I may try installing the sender that came with the aftermarket electric gauge just to see what it reads. If i get a low reading I'll go buy a mechanical gauge. I have a brand new aftermarket electrical gauge with aftermarket sender. I'm going to try that first to just get a reading and see what it says. If it's wonky or low, I'll go purchase a mechanical oil pressure gauge.
