    Clanking noise, possible loose flywheel. video inside

    It sounds like its coming from the bottom back of the engine. You can kinda hear it a little when cranking the engine, a few clacks now and then at idle, but best when you turn the engine off. Also another good way to replicate the sound is give it a little gas and release the clutch fast almost...

    Clanking noise, possible loose flywheel. video inside

    I haven't tried it yet but I believe it does it either way. One thing, it does it more when it's warm. I tried to take the video on a cold engine and it wouldn't do it. Had to drive it down the road and get it warm.

    Clanking noise, possible loose flywheel. video inside

    I have been having this clanking sound pretty much since Ive had this car. So somewhere around a year and 6 months. I'm thinking its a loose flywheel. Its best heard like in the video during shutdown. But it can also be heard tapping a little during idle. I'm hoping its not crankwalk associated...

    Stock GSX, need input on my shopping list

    I just installed a ported 68hta on my car a few days ago. I really like it. I'm still running wastegate boost so I'm only at 10 psi now. When I get an aem map sensor I'll turn it up as I will be using ecmlink for boost control along with their IR boost solenoid. I would definitely suggest...

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    Well I have it all together. Holds 10 psi great for an internal gate. Turn it up with ecmlink when I get an aem map sensor. But while I was installing it. With the extreme psi 16g install kit, the 90 degree AN fitting was too bent. So i put in in a vice used a screwdriver to straighten it a...

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    Ok well I have ordered the parts to get me goin. I got a ported 68hta, fp manifold, pr o2 housing, fp 4 inch intake, FIC 850s, and an extreme psi 16g install kit. Already have ecmlink fuel lab regulator and fp sends a fuel pump with turbo orders. Fmic and exhaust will will have to come later but...

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    Did a warm compression check. 170, 165, 160, 170. Starting on trans side. Not bad for 165,000 if you ask me.

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    Since I will prob be goin with the fp big 28, are their any good o2 housings for the t25 turbine out there. Most I see are for the 16g or similar turbos.

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    Well I would like to upgrade. I always feel like when something like that goes out its time to. I really don't want to just put another factory one back on. Also one more thing on the engine I forgot to mention. Sometimes when I crank it, while its turning over it will sound like one cylinder...

    Turbo went out, high milage, worth fixing?

    I have a 99 eclipse gsx. Has 165,000 miles on it. All stock. The turbo just recently went out. When I checked it, it had about 1/3 inch forward and back shaft play. Blows huge amount of smoke on shift and I noticed its leaking alot of oil from th oil filler cap now. My question is, is it worth...

    Fuel pump causing grinding noise? Video.

    Not the starter. Today I ran a wire to the back where the fuel pump is and put it to the battery. Its quiet for about 3 seconds the it starts. Its a roaring noise. I ordered the stm fuel return kit. Also today I instaled a sunpro boost gauge. I have the bcs restrictor removed. It jumps to a bout...

    Fuel pump causing grinding noise? Video.

    Ok I straight wired it to the pump so i could hear it with the engine off. The sound seems to be coming from the return line by the firewall. So I took the line off the fpr to see how the gas is coming out. Its coming out with full force steady stream. So im thinking my fpr is not holding the...

    Fuel pump causing grinding noise? Video.

    When I first got my car I noticed a grinding noise. Could only hear it in the car but under the hood I didnt hear anything. I belive I have found what is making this noise. First understand it IS NOT coming from the fuelpump area under the back seat. I can bump the starter and that noise comes...

    2G 99gsx Possible bad alternator.

    Everything appears to be clean. New brass battery terminals. Appears to be a pretty new battery. And underneath the rubber cover where the wire bolts up to the alternator looks almost new. No oil on the alternator, it actually has a very clean look to it like maybe it was replaced. I did have an...

    2G 99gsx Possible bad alternator.

    I think my alternator may be going bad. I have not had a battery light come on yet. My dash lights get dim when at a stop light. When I leave the light they brighten back up. But while accelerating get a few dim dash light moments. For about 1 second maybe. So I tried testing voltage. 13.75 at...

    Did you ever get this fixed. I'm having the EXACT same problem with my 99 gsx. Plus a clunking sound when I crank and turn off the engine.

    Ok so I am still having random power loss, seems like at all rpms. It picks up then looses it. Put in new plugs, wires, and fuel filter. All of witch needed replacing and did get some improvments from. I posted a pic of my plugs, this is after about 200 miles with a few hard pulls. Gap was a...

    Got a 99 gsx what now

    Well I belive I got most of the studdering out. I changed the fuel filter last night. Got in there and even the outside of the filter had rust on it. When I FINALLY got the filter off it was just brown gas coming out. Looks like its never been changed. Drove down the road and it ran good. Now...

    Got a 99 gsx what now

    Well today took a hard left goin bout 60. Really got into that corner. Put it in neutral and the clutch felt exactly the same as driving straight. So that's a good sign. RightBoost leak test resulted in a bad leaking bov. So I tried capping both ports and it felt like it picked up about 40 hp...

    Got a 99 gsx what now

    Couple more thing I have been noticing. When I pull up after driving home with the windows up I hear what almost sounds like a dry bearing grinding. Almost just like a throw out bearing goin bad. But it makes this sound when the clutch is pushed in or let out. I turned my engine off cranked it...

    Got a 99 gsx what now

    Finally got a Saturday off so I'll be checking for boost leaks plus everything else I read about in the bogging threads. Then got to try and see what's making that clunking in the front. Seems to do it more when running over small ripple like bumps. Big bumps don't affect it much.

    Got a 99 gsx what now

    I bought a 99 eclipse gsx. It has 151000 miles on it. What needs to be checked on this car with this amount of miles. I also noticed a slight clunk in the front end like loose tension rods. And there is an ever so slight hesitation at wot. Could be spark plugs maybe. Mainly I just need to know...
