the twosrus ones will work since i belive they are hub centric and they are 5x100. i would email them to make sure.

BTW, be glad you didn't get the +48 ones. they don't make spacers big enough to fill the wheel gap you would have gotten with those, and they probably wouldn't have cleared the struts.

New problem, getting a 92-93 engine and tranny. Would my 90 ecu and harness be pnp to the engine or would i need a new harness, since it's a jdm harness what would i need to do if i can't use my original 90 harness :shrug:

Took about 20 hours to take the engine out, swap waterpump and timing belt, new clutch, put engine back in, wire up, install 3" turbo back exhaust and to let it run.

finished all that and now i have a new problem :doh:

Need some help, idle is around 1600-1800.
On boost the car begins to shake when it's below 3500 rpm.
After 3500 past 3/5 throttle the car also begins to shake like it's not boosting properly.
Very hard to start up and very easy to flood.
Unable to launch car or else it'll flood.
No CEL
JDM engine

Anyone have any advice???

Thanks in advance

it sound to me that you have a vacum leak, first thing i would do is check vacum leak, make sure all the vacum lines are hooked up and did you get a jdm ecu with that engine? because i have seen it on this forum that alot of the issues were ecu related but first check all your connections and vacum before you change ecu. i would also just to be on the safe side, do a compresion test on all of the cylinders because you never know.

Did the compression test on all four cylinders, they were around 170 across all four pistons.
I checked for vacuum leaks but will check again.
Is it possible that the tvis butterflies are getting stuck or the AFM?

Thanks in advance
