    02 dump issues?

    For the coolent temp i made sure the wires were correct. I know the waste gate isnt sticking becuase when it actuates the 02 dump is loud. How can i test the idle air control valve? Also theres no check engine light on now. You would think if the maf was bad there would be a check engine light...

    02 dump issues?

    My car has been running like crap since i installed this 02 dump. Did 3 boost leak tests thinking that a boost leak might be my problem. Pretty sure i have no leaks. I think the 02 dump might be messing up my oxygen sensors readings. Bad hesitation when the waste gate opens. Mostly in first and...

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    It turned out to be that the bottle i had used for my coolent overflow After installing my fmic was located to low and causing my overflow to siphon all my coolent out. I mounted it higher and that fixed my problem. ROFL

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    yeah i was thinking it might be the head gasket since everything was fine. i have the tools to do a compression test and leak down test so ill do that when i get the chance. and if that is the problem atleast i can make an upgrade out of it and get a multi layerd steel gasket and arp head studs...

    I already took my thermostat out hoping that was the problem but its not. my car is puking so much water out into the coolent overflow that the heater blows cold air...car had gobs of stopaleak in it when i bought it. i replaced the water pump and installed my front mount intercooler, flushed...

    Fuel Cut/ Bog at 6k RPMs?

    There are ways to change the rev limiter, usually people want it higher but i could see how someone might want it lower for reliability reasons and maybe because they like the sound of it. has the car always done this since you owned it? I wonder if the previous owner messed with it. You could...

    backing out the idle screw or tightining the throttle cable may help you as mentioned above, but that may just be a crutch tell you can find out what the real problem is. maybe the last owner new of this problem and thats why they sold the car. maybe they can give you some info. if it happend...

    Fuel Cut/ Bog at 6k RPMs?

    there might be more then one code. also if our cars get a check engine light, the car will run rich most times as a safety measure. you shouldnt be hitting fuel cut unless your over 16psi give or take a little. maybe running rich cuased your plugs to foul. you may have already been running rich...

    how reliable are dsms

    every time i have ever bought a used car i had to do some work on it. Your car will last longer if you drive it nice (dont redline every shift) drive like an old lady haha. also keeping the boost below 14 should help. most of us that race our cars and upgrade them expect them to break from time...

    7 Bolt engine into a 91

    I would just try to get a 6 bolt from a crashed eclipse at a junk yard and sell the 7 bolt. A long block is only $160 at my local junk yard (pick and pull). The six bolt can handle more stress stock letting you buy bolt ons etc...(instead of expensive internals). i'd just throw that 7 bolt on...

    Having car dynoed today

    I wonder if the ecu is dumping fuel due to those codes. either way your reflash should take care of that. Be sure to do an oil change as running rich puts gas in your oil. It will be interesting to see how much hp you gain after the ecu flash.

    Having car dynoed today

    bolt ons ect can increase power. but if there are mechanicle issues and/or boost leaks, and from what sounds like some kinda problem with your ecu (running rich). the power could be lost. there are no check engine lights on? did you check for leaks? how does the car idle?

    CX Racing GT35 Turbocharger Kit

    I was simply window shopping and learned about clocking a turbo. I wouldnt need to clock my 14b of course. My plan is to get a factory oem 16g from a evo 1-3 eventually. I simply was just questioning as to how the kit would actually fit, not the quality of it. I heard tomany bad things about...

    Having car dynoed today

    Looks like a 99 ecu in a 97 will throw a code becuase there is no second evap sensor in the 95/97 2g. If your ecu sences somthing is wrong the ecu is programed to run rich for safety. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/394996-99-ecu-97-question.html . That might be only 1 of many...

    it appears that the coldside of the turbo in this TRB-KIT-4G63-1G-GSX-GT35-R CX Racing GT35 Turbocharger Kit for 90-94 Mitsubishi Eclipse at Andy's Auto Sport kit would be facing the engine on a 4g63 and there for would not fit. However in the pic of the kit bolted to the car it appears they...

    1g is so quiet after exhuast and hollow cat

    do these engines gain performance from having a strait threw pipe instead of a catalytic converter? some guy was telling me id loose power. but i heard from a mechanic that most turbo cars gain from having no cat...never mind i looked it up. not really a noticable gain, as i can tell by driving...

    Why does my alternator belt squeal so much on initial start up?

    well i used the bar of soap trick on 2 cars(touch a bar of soap to where it rubs for a second or two). first car it made the belt quiet for as long as we owned the car. second car it made it quiet for about an hour then it started sqeeking again.

    Turbine sound with fmic install

    Just like adding an intake to a N/A makes the intake louder, the hard piping on a turbo will make the turbo louder. for some reason those rubber hoses quiet things up. I bet your car sounds great. I would do a leak down test after an instal like that tho just becuase.

    What's the nipple on top the stock 2g BOV for?

    That fiting on your bov equilizes the pressure on both sides of the bov when your throttlebody is open. when the throttlebody door closes there is greater pressure on the turboside allowing the valve to open. without that connected it would cause a boost leak from the throttlebody and also your...

    car loses power at 65 now no spark and fuel

    car loses power at 65 now no spark and fuel
