First things first my goals for this build is I wanna build a streetable 500hp GSX.
Curently I have a 1998 Eclipse GSX w/Evo3 16g and some basic bolt ons. I have an extra Stripped down block and an Extra Head(its the original motor from the car was crank walked when purchased)There's two...
I'm gonna end up using the third one due to a couple reasons. A) It'll hold my next big upgrade fairly well(2.4l stroker kit w/hx35) fairly well, B) The price is right in my price range, and C)I'm looking at it from a streetable driveability factor when it come to pedal and performce quality...
Pry gonna use this one!It failed due to the master going bad and the clutch not disengauging and i roasted it in frustration! all i know is right now i have a brand new master and i put it in gear and go no where.
So i blew the clutch in my GSX I have a ACT 2100 with a Street disc. I wanna Upgrade for something a lil stonger. I've got a 7bolt block with stock internals, EVO3 16G Turbo, FMIC, 3in full exhaust, running 15psi right now. I'm gonna b upgrading the fuel and computer next and running 20psi. so i...
Gonna change the fluid in my tranny while I'm doing a motor swap in my 1997 eclipse rs 5 speed. I've used the dealer fluid before and i really didn't like it. I've herd that Amsoil makes a tranny fluid for these transmissions. But im not sure and I don't wanna use the wrong fluid on a tranny i...
I did bleed it but, didn't adjust it. and i can shift into any gear i want. as for crank walk i just replace the motor not less than a year ago with a 75000 mile jdm motor so im doubting I crank walked it. Prior to having the problem every so often i would loose the clutch when stoped or parked...
Ok so a couple of months ago i got stuck but got it home. when i got stuck i had no clutch pedal ### so ever. So i figured replace the clutch master(was one from autopart international), so i did, i didn't adjust it yet. Tried to move it and nothing not an inch in any gear. Btw when it got stuck...

So very soon i'm going to be repalcing my 420A motor with a new one (Bottom end issue). While Doing the swap I'm gonna do a new Timing Belt, Water Pump And Engine Gasket Kit. I also Figured I'd replace the Clutch since It has Roughly 170K on it, it grabs fine it's just I'm there and I figure...
Thanx for all the suggestions and the opinions. I noticed alot of u say "why do it" My biggest reason of all is i wanted to turbo this car before i bought my last two 2gs with 4g63t's and i let this one just sit and i wanna just have fun and it seems like a fun project to take on since its not...
I've had the head off this car once and didn't see one at all and there isn't one on the top of the tank like my gsx so im figuring there isn't one!1st nice to see someone from ri on here!second my rs right now has a spun lower bearing. The motor is being replaced very soon with a lower...
So i'm asking this due to the fact that I'm considering turboing my RS Eclipse. I Have a GSX and I have my rs aswell and I wanna be different and have one of each. Any ways I have the Turbo Kit picked out it this one:Hahn Racecraft - Automotive TurbosystemsWhat I wanna Know is how hard is it...
I've always wanted to do it i'm just nervous about needing a return fuel line for the tank. Right now it doesn't have one. Also this tax Season im replacing the motor in it with a lower milege one and replacing the timing belt and gaskets so i don't see a problem with that.

Been Driving it alot lately. Noticing Its only happends between 2500rpms and 3500rpms. It's the worse at 3000rpms exactly and tapers off till 3500rpms. Hopefully this helps to determine what is going on.It also never comes back after those rpms.
it gets worse as the rpms go up, and better as it goes down. u can reall feel it in the drivers seat mostly. it only happends when im at like 2000 rpms or higher. and the whole car vibrates and it stops when i decelerate
So a couple of weeks ago i posted something on here about a vibration coimming from my exhaust, its not coming from there it coming from the back of the motor near where the throttle body and cas is. :confused:not sure what it is but the car has no problem driving or accelerating not sure if I...
the vibration is coming from i think the mid pipe of the exhaust and a friend of mine has the same car, same exhaust, and same turbo and it looks like my exhaust sticks out farther than his from the rear bumper.
I'm not sure y but my 3" meagn exhaust is rubbing the heat shield right under the drivers seat in my 2G GSX. The Car right now is running an evo3 16G, with a Meagn 02 housing not sure if maybe there is some fitment issues with the o2 or its the p.o.s.:confused: ebay downpipe that I'm using...
Ok so the other day i finally put my gsx on the road after 5mos of building it. Here's a list of everything done during the rebuild:Original motor was crank walked. so i swaped it for a '95 JDM block w/70k on it.
all gaskets replaced including adding a cometic 4 layer hg, and arp studs...
Ok, so i just got my gsx running the other night. I'm running a evo3 turbo ported, clipped, and wastegate door welded shut. With that i'm running an obx turbo manifold with a 38mm obx external wastegate. I want the car to boost 15psi it's boosting over 20psi. this is my first time dealing with...
