I need help answering a few things.Try and at least answer one...6bolt swap related..

[95EclipseGST]

Okay just put in this 6 bolt and finally got it to start.
It idles too high for one and i loosened where the cable meets the spring loaded thing all the way.It still idles too high.

If i loosen the nut to the CAS and pivot to change timing +- 5 degrees, does the car have to be off? or can i leave it running and find a sweet spot?

The damn thing overheats within minutes.System not pressurized...Could this be a faulty radiator cap causing this?

If i have a complete 1g engine and head...I was under the impression that i didnt have to do the injector swap or the coil wire swap.I ended up having to do both to even get it to start.I was going off of magnus and it seemed if you have a complete 1g engine you didnt need to do that.They just gave a wiring diagram.Anyway i did roadrace method so far but didnt change the pins in the ecu.I have to do that ALONG WITH changing injector trigger and coil swap??? I thought all that was for a 1g bottom with a 2g head. Please someone clarify this.

Last but not least i had the power steering all the way removed and filled it back up...Well when i started the car i didnt notice anything ...But when i turned teh wheel back and forth...It foamed out the ass and came out the sealed top.What caused this.Was it just getting air out and now its fine?

I cant tell if these poly motor mounts are this rough...Or if the engine is still running rough. i dont think its normal.It idles like shit.

Any suggestions on what to do next? What does the TPS do? Would that cause bad idle?If a TPS is off, what are the symptoms?

Thank you for ANY help you guys can throw my way. And if you live in Georgia i will pay your ass to come and help me get this thing running right.

did you go with the 1g throtle body or the 2g throtle body? if you went with the 1g you're a smart man cuz of the size only difference is you have to put the 2g tps in there and tune it just right. RRE had directions on how to set it right http://www.roadraceengineering.com/2gtbswap.htm. I was having bad idle problems just like you but that fixed it. with it over heating did you cut your shifter counter wieght? I wasnt able to shift into 4 and the coolant wasnt flowing good because of this. I still used my 2g lower radiator hose but had to cut that weight. and i havent got my dsmlink in and it'll be prob 3 weeks or so till i get it hooked up. and your timing. I just set it to 8 deg. advanced. Thats the best i can do because my pocket logger wont work(####'n registration mess up). I hope im able to help some, I dont know much about the 95,96 6 bolt swap cuz mines a 97. Good luck and i hope everything works out. Keep me in touch on the project.

I used 1g throttle body with 2g tps. I guess tonight i will try and set that right.What about timing on the CAS ? Can i adjust that while the car is running? Does switching pins at the ecu need to be done also with this 1g swap if i have the 1g head also? Thanks for the reply.I'll keep posted im sure.Anyone else know anything from the first post?

you're supposed to leave the car running while you adjust that, just make sure you ground that brown plug on the firewall. you should see what my CAS looks like.....holy crap...ask devilsperm, he helped me do it.

overheating: is your thermostat ok? and do you have enough coolant in there? that's about all i cap hepl you with. good luck.

I changed the thermostat, fixed timing by turning CAS with car running and power steering leaks now but doesnt shudder anymore.Didnt leak before though.Thanks for the inputs.

it may be possible that you have a air pocket in your head and it isnt flowing water. im in the process of doing my 6 bolt swap. i had it running, a bit rough but running, and it over heated real fast shut it down and pulled my fan to run it right off the battery in the process i managed to create an arc from the battery to the fan wire and fried my ecu. so im waiting on it before i can do anything else with my car. oh it is air leaking out of the power steering fluid it will be a while before it all gets out im not sure how to bleed it but just keep checkin the levels in it to make sure it isnt low or too full.
