I sent the injectors off to them shortly after the last message I posted up. I just got a call from them today. The testing is done and they are shipping the injectors back along with the report. ...
I think if you remove that bolt in the middle of the photo of your timing chain cover, a hole will be uncovered which will allow you to insert a thin rod to hold the cam chain tensioner retracted....
Update!
Just got my ECU flashed by a local garage.
Tools used were a Bluetooth adapter attached to the OBD port and their own proprietary software.
I was surprised at how easy and powerful his...
Just for the info, here is a picture of an injector from a 1.0L 3A90 engine, with all the numbers visible.
To me it seems to be the same sort as in the 1.2L 3A92:
I can’t believe it either. It sucks big time.. don’t understand why they decided to do away with that cover.
Same with the one piece headers and cat. They make maintenance a pain! Every time I swap...
I will try to get some before and after runs if I can get them. Because in a small city of 5 million people, there are not many empty roads to do acceleration runs and there are enforcement officers...
If you want to verify, measure the narrow side of a lobe (that's the base circle diameter) and subtract that from the fat side of the lobe. That is the valve...
O'Reilly's is showing aftermarket brake drums that fit '14-'15 Mirages now. Never seen these before. They are bare, which means you will have to add your own bearing, ABS ring, and wheel studs.
...
soot, a product of blowby builds up in due time, accumulates and becomes attached to the MAP Sensor affecting the metering accuracy of the MAP sensor and so ideal AFR may not be achieved. MAF sensor...
For anyone who wants to pursue the "what could fit" or "what could be modified to fit" angle, I just took some measurements of my flywheel since it's out of the car.
I bought the parts needed to upgrade my 2015 to 2017 front brakes. I have the rear upgrade, as well, but that's a project for another day... and I may not even bother doing it.
The 2014 and 2017 Mirage have the same Mitsubishi flywheel part number (1120A266). The clutch friction disc is also the same part number between the years. So, the clutch will fit. Its just a...
Alright. Bad clutch disk. Replacing it. I could have taken the clutch disk to a local clutch shop that does custom racing clutches and had them rebuild/improve it. But, instead, I opted to just buy a...
Okay, I'm no clutch expert. I've replaced more than a few of them, but usually because they were flat worn out or a clutch related part failed (pilot or throwout bearing, oil seal, etc)... or maybe...
As far as I know, there should be no difference in wiring between 2012 and 2018. The changes in 2017 were all mechanical hardware: cams, piston rings and timing chain. I expect no compatibility...
