Was pulling out of a neighborhood yesterday in first gear, gave it about 70-80% throttle, at about 4-5k rpm, trans pulled out of first and went to neutral. I tried putting it back into a different gear and would grind every time i let off the clutch. There I was powerless, pulled to the side of...
Just posting a question real quick and basic: Will a 2001-2005 Neon 5 speed Transmission fit into my 98 Eclipse GS 420A?I have read multiple posts on DSMT and other forums and sites, some people say it will work, some say it wont. I know that anything under 2001 you need a new bell housing...
There are certain things that we can and shouldn't use Ebay stuff for our cars. Ebay turbos (unless bought from a specific reputable site posting on ebay) is big no-no. Anything that has to do with performance isn't an ebay go-to. If you're on a budget, understandable. But keep in mind, you'll...
As I have made a few posts, just continuing on my build but have some questions:main question: transmission. I have the 420A 5 speed manual and looking for a new trans. Sheptrans doesn't make them for the 420A. I was told to look for a 01-05 neon tranny but I'd like some more information...
Just bought a new HKS muffler for my DSM. I have a Bomz racing 2.5 inch exhaust system right now, I got a buddy that will weld on my new muffler but the only thing is that my piping is 2.5 inches but my new muffler inlet is 3 inches, how do I work with this?
Sweet, thanks for the quick responses, much appreciated. AAP ordered me a gasket to pick up tomorrow morning. I'll get it on there and keep you guys posted. Once again, thanks for the input.
Just ported slightly my throttle body. Cleaned it out free of gunk and good stuff. Everything is connected and set right but when i start my car it goes to 4k rpm, slowly rises and levels at 5k. I have probably 40% of my gasket left since the other part of it cracked and isn't on there. Before I...
To all DSMs around Chicago area, me and my buddies are hosting a cruise meet on Saturday 3/10 at 9 PM at the 5th story parking garage in downtown Naperville.The last cruise had roughly 120 cars meet up, and about 80 or so cruised with us from the garage to downtown Chicago to the big...
Project going not too bad so far. Got my slowboy racing shortblock. I'll be running 8.8:1 CR with forged internals. Now comes the fun part, the head.So basically, I just want to get down a list and have it finalized and looked over by people that know more about the 420a than me. At first I...
With anything over 125K on the 420As, I would rebuild the whole motor. You probably have bad piston rings as well, more than likely. If it is your DD, save up for a new motor and swap it once you have the motor ready to go and a few hundred on the side in case you need some other shit.
My bottom end was $2500, I got it for $1550 with shipping. Slowboy racing shortblock. Deffiently not stock because it's turbo ready but worth the money.
Block now sits on a motor stand in my garage :) . Now, I just need a diagram of the 420A to go off of so I can see what I'm missing on it such as pulleys, and sensors.
So before I get all my components together for my build, I just need some info. about ECU tuning and modds.I am looking between Crower 280/280 or 288/288 cams. Both require ECU modds, how can this be done? I was told you need megasquirt and stuff but I won't be running a turbo right after...
OK, so I did buy the block, it was a good deal that I just cant turn down. I need a head now...anyone got an extra head? I'm about to start working on that as soon as I can find a head in good shape that I can port.
I'm not sure what turbo yet. Do you have any suggestions of turbos or turbo kits?I'm looking at the CX Racing GT35 Turbocharger - T4 Flange and get a piping kit off of Ebay.
How's it going guys. This is my first post, I'm not too new to tuner cars and stuff, I've been around the corners here and there.First thing's first, I've got a 98 Eclipse GS 420A motor, 136k on stock right now. I've set my mind to building a new motor for my car. I started about 3 weeks...
