I recommend going with a small 16g for autocross someone is selling a rebuilt one in classifieds (try to source as much as possible through classifieds, you'll save a bunch). Small fmic with j pipe, bigger exhaust turbo back (no cat) but make sure you have a wideband first before anything. Also...
I' m a little concerned that the OP has no idea what the "thick back stuff" is.Usually you can find the OEM timing covers on eBay cheaper than Amazon. Those clear upper covers are like $20. JAT motorsports comes to mind for the middle and lower; 2ga and 2gb difference is the hole for the CAS...
It all depends what brand the parts store is selling as well. I think AutoZone is motorad? I know NAPA is gates.Years ago on my 2g 420 I discovered my fans weren't kicking on because of a faulty CTS. Actually the CTS connector was bad so I replaced the pigtail. Not sure if this would happen...
After having an apexi ws2 on my awd and being very disappointed by the sound and overall quality, I love my eBay DNA/speed daddy exhaust! Excellent quality catback, matches up nicely to most downpipes (I matched it to a "speed racer" DP-megan knockoff) and the sound is truly unbelievable. Has a...
I had a helluva time changing rear rotors on my 96 (with regular solid rotors, not the vented 95 style) They were old and warped and when I put new ones on I had a constant grind on right turns (on the left wheel mostly). After trying several different rotors with the same results I realized the...
I had my small 16g paired with a Evo X fuel pump (better than the 9 and can be found for about $50) and stock 450s for a long time. I didn't hit fuel cut until 15-16psi. AFRs 10.9 at wot. However every car is different. If you haven't already make sure you at least port the flapper hole so the...
Man she needs some serious love, but there's nothing we seek more than a stockish DSM.I can guarantee you have a few boost leaks. Make a boost leak tester. These cars run like shit with even small vacuum leaks.
Besides the obvious you want to check the TPS (throttle position sensor), if it's...
Short answer: Yes.The bodies on 2gs (95-99) are all the same, interiors are the same (just with vinyl/leather option on GS/GST(Tsi)/GSX(Tsi AWD))
We also share many suspension and brake parts with the sebring, Avenger, Galant.
There's many DSM Partout sellers on eBay, and Miller Import Parts...
I assume you know Hans of Ground Zero Performance in Easton? He specializes in the 3kgt/Stealth platform (hence the reason you glimpse some very nice 3kgts around Easton) also has a yard full of em for parts (and a galant vr4) and a dyno too! A cool old sports car is only as good as the parts...
Fascinating. I think we all agree this car has finally ended up in the right place! I'm curious as to why you're making your own toe arms instead of just buying aftermarket arms?I also love black intercoolers. The silver does not age well and looks ricey to me. IDK why more companies don't...
To back up a bit, why don't they fit? I put 1g brakes on my 2g and all I had to do is change the lines. They're like $5 from Rock Auto, or go stainless. Also got my calipers there for $20/ea. Are we saying they don't fit because of the lines?
I'd like to know for future reference.
The gasket goes bad over time. Get a felpro vc gasket set from rock auto for $10 and make sure you tighten to spec (only slightly more than hand tight) in an alternating pattern. Every DSM I ever bought was leaking from the vc and every time it was fixed with a new gasket.
5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THIS DOUCHEBAG:
1)COMPLETELY IGNORANT ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER OF HIS OWN VIDEO
2)IF HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE SIMPLICITY OF STEREO WIRING HE'S IN A WORLD OF HURT BUYING A MODDED DSM.
3)HE SHOPS AT AUTOZONE.
4) CAN'T DO SIMPLE MATH.
5)HIS HAIRCUT.
You have to bolt the hangers onto the pipe hangers before install then just slip the other end on the hangers on the car . A little lube helps them slip on easy.Also the $100 GST downpipes off eBay are an excellent match.
Up until 2 weeks ago I would wholeheartedly agree. I would recommend CX racing as the best "eBay rad" out of the 4 I have. The rest are pretty much identical without markings. I got a no name one for my Jeep XJ to replace the wimpy stocker and after 2 years it suddenly started to fail. Luckily I...
I prefer a filter designed for full synthetic such as k&n (Walmart for $10) or mobil one or Bosch. Also Walmart sells Mopar OEM filters, the same as Mitsubishi OEM, which is just an old school Denso paper filter found for like $3 on rockauto.
As CrackedDSM just said you already have a black box ecu (98/99) which is programmable via evoscan using a tactrix cable. There's absolutely no reason for you to go eprom/dsmlink. I still have an safc because I'm old and I only need it to run 650ccs. I realize you've been out of the game for 10...
I have those "G Plus" hoses from Amazon/eBay and they've been holding up fine for about 3 or 4 years. I have the whole kit on one car and just the rad hoses on another. Theyre good quality 4 layer silicone.
Don't fall for the $150 rad hose ruse. Nowadays quality silicone hoses and couplers can...
I highly recommend replacing the radiator with a full aluminum one (the ebay $100 rads work great). Those plastic topped rads are 20 years old and become very brittle. I had a hose pop off when the rad neck just disintegrated as I was climbing a hill and it caused a whole myriad of problems...
If you put a $4 spacer on your rear 02 sensor you won't get a CEL for no cat

Upon further investigation i think the mishimoto harnesses are wired wrong. If you look at the pic the two blue hots on the top of the harness don't match the car harness, of which the blue and blue/white are hots in the forefront of the pic. Basically you'd have to turn the plug sideways to get...
So this mishimoto fan shroud and fans is supposed to be plug and play but they keep blowing the 20a fuse, also a 30a fuse when I test the ac fan. Apparently this is an issue but I haven't found a definitive answer. Slow blow fuse? Add a relay for each fan? I'm so pissed i didn't check these when...
Get rid of all that shit!
You know what's crazy? The 96-97 TALONS are federally exempt from emissions (still get a sticker with a pass override) but eclipses are not! Kinda tells you who was in bed with the EPAI guess you're not making it to cars and coffee this sun?
I've ordered my aem afpr kit from MAP and it was the best price at the time. The problem is STMs MSRP of the product. Utterly ridiculous. Those sickspeed brackets are nice too, and jmf makes $75 brackets- pricey but at least the rubber bushing is different. Quite frankly I like mine which are...
I just received my mishimoto fans and shroud and I noticed this little clip on one of the fan blades, only on one fan. I was about to toss it but I'd figure I'd ask if anyone else had this.Also to anyone using this shroud did you actually use the included weatherstrip? Seems kinda cheap not...
I was referring to the filter media being outdated LOL compared to the space age synthetic media used in synthetic purposed filters nowadays.
FWIW I've never had filter problems on my DSMs except for many years ago when I was a 420 newb I didn't realize the old o ring stuck to the ofh and I put...
Just one of many ridiculously overpriced dsm items:

How about the connector itself? Maybe one of the wires is loose and cutting out sporadically. I had that happen on a MAP connector. Just a thought before you buy a new omni. Can you just stick the old sensor back on there and test it to verify the problem?
I usually use a k&n (Wal-Mart has the best prices for k&n filters and oil) or a mobil 1 filter. Purolator also makes a decent synthetic filter as well. I try to use a filter to match the oil. DSM gets mobil1 or royal purple and k&n. My jeep gets conventional with a mopar filter (also sold at...
I'm only chiming in here for future reference. If you don't want to spend the dough for a new IAC valve and don't want to take a chance on a junkyard part I highly recommend these guys. Lifetime warranty on a used part...
From all the research I've done the vented rears were only used briefly because they throw off the brake bias. I can't remember the reasons but when I upgraded my single piston fronts to dual piston gsx calipers I was going to get the 94/95 rears but that combo apparently sucks ass. At the time...
The o ring is supposed to be lubricated, not often by the factory but by using a finger dipped in oil.The OEM filter is nothing more than a denso filter available from rock auto for about $3. Personally I wouldn't use an outdated paper filter meant for conventional motor oil.
Wow I forgot about this thread: didn't realize there were so many answers!
Yes my ac is deleted. The compressor was shot so when I put my new motor in I got rid of it. I have decent self stick heat shielding on my hood I can use on the floor but that's not the problem. The heat is coming from...
Thanks for the tip! Yeah definitely vis or seibon for the next one. I'm going to look into getting this one painted or recleared but I'm not a big fan of polishing a turd. It sucks because I've only had the hood for a year and maybe 500 miles. Maybe just vinyl wrap it in black (or fake cf lol)...
You should know better than to assume anything. Of course i have a heat barrier. The self stick kind used on motorcycles. I also waxed it with mothers hard wax. I used meguiar's ultimate compound to no avail. I wasn't going to use a stronger cutting compound until I figured out what was going...
Carbon creations by extreme dimensions thoroughly suck ass. I went with them for a few reasons that are inconsequential at this point. Besides having the typical carbon hood fitment issues, now I have this. First it looked like spots were appearing on the hood then what I thought was just bugs...
