    2G Help! Want more horsepower.

    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...

    1998 GST Leaking - Right of drivers side front tire. Attached pictures.

    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...

    PSA do not use a non oem or racing application thermostat in a 4g63

    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...

    2G Most Bad A$$ sounding exhaust for 1998 eclipse gst

    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'm confused. How is it a Quaife rack and not just a regular modified EMW OEM rack?

    2G Parking brake dragging

    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...

    2G Small 16g stock fuel pump & injectors

    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...

    2G 1995 eclipse gst wont idle

    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...

    2G car part replacements

    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...

    Came across this 3000GT VR4. Thoughts?

    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...

    German GSX goes RWD

    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...

    1G rear caliper issues

    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.

    1G Oil leak from valve cover bolts.

    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.

    2G GST Megan Racing catback exhaust installation issues

    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.

    Has anyone ordered and installed a Silicone Hose kit from Amazon?

    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...

    1G Oil filter?

    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.

    General MAFT SAFC-2

    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...

    Has anyone ordered and installed a Silicone Hose kit from Amazon?

    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...

    How molested is my engine?

    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...

    Mishimoto fan blowing fuses

    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...

    Mishimoto fan blowing fuses

    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...

    2G Runs fine when cold but dies when warm

    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?

    2G Oem oil filter

    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...

    2G New rear rotors too small

    From all the research I've done the vented rears were only used briefly because they throw off the brake bias.

    2G Oem oil filter

    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.
