The Official CS Lancer Thread!

[wagonrunner]

Can someone recommend a electrician to help me with CVT to Gearbox conversion on CS3.I cannot find a MT ECU so am looking for someone that can rewire the AT ECU to work. Please contact me @472-0436.

where did you get the "full" conversion for the car, and at what cost?

[narineric]

Did conversion by a guy named Ravi. He is located close to UWI in one of the sides street. Well I from south so I do not know up on that side to good to give you proper directions. It cost $3000 for the complete conversion and $1000 labour. I did it about 3 years ago and the only problem I have is a random power cut only at high speed. The speedometer, reverse are working and the ecu is wired on D but I still get the random power cut. Can someone post another number for Marvin that one is not working or any electrician that can help me !

Need to change out the steering end and rack end on the CS3.
Where would I get the best price on the genuine version of these items?

Changed my entire rack earlier this year. Cost me $900 in parts and labour.
Frankie's Mechanical Shop, Ramlal Trace Extension, Warren Road, Bejucal. 672-4809. Call for directions.

Are all 4G18 belts the same? Seeing lil wear on my alternator belt and thinking about changing all belts monthend!
Where to get these belts & average price?

[Ted_v2]

Good question. I need to change my timing belt asap

[EXODUS]

fellaz... yesterday i was on the highway and a/c was blowing normal. after i stopped i heard a hissing sound from the engine bay, like if gas leaking or something...then when i turn on the a/c to head home, hot air! wam deyyy? jusso jusso. lol...

[Ted_v2]

sounds like a ac line popped

where you from? if south i know a ac tech that would handle that brisk brisk

[star369]

A/c compressors have a release valve when the pressure gets to high because probably the condenser not cooling

[nissan4life]

Exo you shudd of checked it one time,if line or seal was burst you wud of seen it one time as gas would of condense or froze where it was leaking from....If you gas has dye it in you should be able to spot exactly where it was leaking from.

Star369 brought up a important point,rel men does drive tru flood water with ac pumping, this damages clutch and well clogges condenser..
Until you get it sorted you should unplug jack going to compressor

[EXODUS]

whos the mech soundboy??? i normally dus go by Ali Ave in penal by randy.

[Ted_v2]

Boodram in Siparia old road. They did some work in a few of the cars I does move with. No problems and pretty reasonable. You from south right? So you should find the place if you interested

[nissan4life]

Fellas need advice for a co worker of mine..
Just bought a cs with a 4g93 gdi.. He stating he burning oil and has alot of white smoke when pulling off.
He went by a mechanic and mech tell him he need head and block,but i kow dem "madman " mechanics doesnt kow sheit bout gdi..
Cud be spark plug seals?anything else?
idle, raybic i kow u guys running higher performance gdi... any advise for this man before he go mad?

He also looking for a coil pack,one burnt out last night..any one with one or two jus say the word

[Ted_v2]

just asking but is it painted in a purplish colour?

[EXODUS]

mine does the same thing, cept is level light blue smoke with a lil white smoke here n there. seals, gaskets, rings hadda change! finding it is the thing... but most 4g9x parts interchangeable with the cm5a gsr right???

[Ted_v2]

Wait. You running a ck gsr? What gearbox?

[EXODUS]

mivec/4g92 tiptronic...

[Ted_v2]

Interesting.
Very interesting. I wasn't aware that's possible

[nissan4life]

Nah soundboy is a black
Exo so spark plugs seal, rings and gasket have to change? so his best bet is tryin to find a head and block then?
Any other advise fellas.man come early dis morn cussin. car bucking like a wild horse,like another coil pack gone or someting

[Ted_v2]

how is he blowing coilpacks? electricals not in order or is he buying used stuff?

[nissan4life]

Not sure nah,he aint too long buy the car
But i believe how spark plugs getting oil on it,it may be somehow causing coilpack to over work or supply incorrect amperage to compensate for fowled plugs and cazing itself to burn out...daz my wild guess
Other dan dat i wud jus say he bad lucky and bounce he head wit da buy

[Ted_v2]

sounds about right. wrt oil

isn't this a spark plug seal problem?

[nissan4life]

Soundboy he using castrol 20/50.

BH dats one of his problems but from orignal post , he is also seeing huge amounts of smoke at every pull off.
Exo indicated plug seals and cud be piston rings as well.

[idlemind]

Sounds like he has oil in the plugs.
Take out all plugs and confirm this is the case. If it goes on ignored, he will continue to blow coil packs. There's a plug seal kit but is where to source it. Til then the best thing he can do is clean out the plugs every week depending on the amount of oil. Sometimes a head and block solution may be the best bet as sourcing a head kit for GDI is stress unless you know who to go by.

[nissan4life]

Yea idle,i confirmed yesterday afternoon,all them plugs dirty like sheit.
I told d ass to clean dem but we didnt hav anything to do it as we were in work...
Any one down here sells the kit or daz a online buy?

[idlemind]

To clean it, he needs something thinner than a screwdriver and long to get down past the plugs.
I end up breaking apart a wooden pants hanger and using the straight piece together with a microfiber cloth. Twirl the cloth as fine as possible round the stick and sen een.

Siaam's can get you OEM

I bought OEM from them for Blondie's 4G18 when I did the 200,000km couple months ago

[idlemind]

GDI we talking bout grandpa..

[Ted_v2]

Well sounds like a swap is the best option.

[Dave]

GDI parts can be had easily from japan
