As with all things DSM both thanks to time and the EPA many aftermarket/ replacement parts are becoming harder and harder to find ....My issue is with the four turbo-to-manifold bolts. I bought a used Evo III Big 16G that came with a CX Racing manifold (not ideal but it was free) and a Megan...

INTERCOOLER NOT INCLUDED. This piping kit is now out of production by Punishment Racing, so this kit is truly rare! It has never left its box and has been kept in a safe and dry location. Comes with all of the piping, silicone hose and clamps you will need to install your own intercooler on your...

This kit is designed to replace the factory plastic kit with a polished aluminium kit that uses silicone hoses and shiny new jubilee clamps. This kit has never been used and never left its original box, and after installing this kit your engine bay will not only look sportier but it will...

I'm embarrassed that I even have to post about this kind of thing because I have been working on DSMs for 3 years now, but it's blowing my mind that my '98 GSX won't start and I cannot figure out why :banghead:It started and ran totally fine about a month ago. I then did a fusebox relocation...

I am attempting a fuse box relocation (emphasis on 'attempting' ROFL ) and I am looking for a wiring diagram for the engine bay fuse box for a '97 GSX. The information I really need is the color codes for each wire and what each wire leads to in the fuse box.I have a few wires that had their...

I have removed my stock boost controller from my '98 GSX so that I can install a GFB G-Force II in its place. Everything works as it should and the boost controller has been plumbed-in the same way the stock boost controller is, however I am certain that the ECU has no idea what is going on and...

I just finished installing new coilovers, a new sway bar, a big brake kit and replacing my tie rods, sway bar bushings and upper control arm and took the car out for a very slow and very short test drive to check for any loose fittings or bolts/ nuts.Every time I’d turn the wheel whilst moving...

First of all, a big thank you to zilo900 and DGajre777 for their effort in putting together a tech article on completing this install. But if you're like me, things need to be overly simple in order to make sense of what is going on. And this install puzzled me for some 3 weeks ROFLSo if...

I know this question has been posted before and I have read many answers regarding this topic, but I have been at this for weeks now and I cannot get my new RM front sway bar to go in. I have attached a link to a video explaining my problem and I just need a set of steps to follow. Other people...

Just installed a GFB G-Force II electronic boost controller and an Innovate LC-2 wideband O2 sensor. Whilst driving around I decided I would do some tuning with the electronic boost controller to see how it all worked and to see if it actually made a difference (P.S. it does!)I got up to...

I am doing some of the legwork and research into making a taller fifth gear for a 2G and I need to know what the tooth count on the pinion coming from the engine into the gearbox is.I've got all of the ratios of gears 1st-5th and I have the final drive ratio, so if I knew the tooth count on...

Has anyone had any success with installing a 12" Pioneer subwoofer and amp system in their 2G? If so what was your setup and what gear did you buy? I've worked only vaguely with amps and sound systems and I have no clue what I should be looking for or buying as far as a subwoofer system, speaker...

I have a '98 Eclipse GST which I am parting out. Everything is currently available (a rebuilt 1G engine bored out 0.2L with a racing flywheel) from the car and a list of just some of these items is below:-A '98 Eclipse GST shell (fenders, doors, front and rear bumpers, spoilers, hood...

Has anyone ever flocked the dashboard on their Eclipse? Or the center console too as a whole?I had a crappy hatchback back in the UK and I flocked the dashboard and loved the look of it! The dashboard for this car was a separate insert that sat ontop of the rest of the dashboard so it was easy...

Just a passing thought I had since winter is coming (I've been rewatching Game of Thrones .... :coy:). I've been changing out my tyres and wheels so I can run grippier tires and crappier rims that I won't be mad about scratching if the car clips anything in the snow. I'm looking at getting a...

So I took my '98 2G Eclipse GST out to drop off a buddy at the Amtrak station before I headed 20 minutes south to pick up some salvage Eclipse parts from a wrecker's. It's a cold af Michigan morning and the car is a little slow to get started but it fires up after a few turns of the engine and...

Hey everyone, I'm back again :D I've been throwing money at my '98 GST Eclipse over the past few weeks with replacing the spark plugs, changing the oil, compression testing the cylinders, pressure testing the cooling system, replacing the spark plug wires, rebuilding my blow-off valve, changing...

I have a '98 Eclipse GST with a 20G turbo which has an internal wastegate. I have a GFB boost controller and just went to install it in my car when I noticed that it seems as though the wastegate is improperly connected ...The pictures I have aren't great, but you'll see the nipple on the top...

I have a '98 2G Eclipse GST and had the error codes read at advance auto parts. I had a bunch of codes about oxygen and exhaust sensors but the exhaust is broken and the cat needs changing so that is no surprise ...However the one code that did stand out was a PCV valve error code. So with...

So after almost a month of intermittent work and weekends spent working on my Eclipse, I finally got the Front Mount Intercooler I purchased from CX Racing installed so that it fits on with the bumper and also holds boost :D I also closed the blow off valve so that even when revving in neutral...

So my Eclipse starts and runs! But only got a few yards before the engine died out lol I suspect it is because the battery is shot to hell because the previous owner has so many auxiliaries hooked-up to the terminals. Upon closer inspection the positive battery terminal is cracked and broken and...

So I just got the car back from the garage after they changed the oil gasket, oil filter and replaced the broken motor mount and they told me about the metal shavings they found in the oil. I went in to inspect the oil sample they had taken and the mechanic showed me pictures of the metal flakes...

So the infamous front-right engine mount bracket on my 2G Eclipse has shorn-off at the bolts and so I am in need of a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this easily and without much hassle? It seems as though I'm going to have to remove the cam belt and jack the engine up...

I'm going to keep posting some of the mods I come up with here not only because I'm excited to be doing them and to be a part of this community but also because I want to give other people a chance to see how certain mods turn out on their cars.I just removed the radio surrounding trim, the...

I am the proud British owner of a 1998 2G Eclipse, not the proud owner of a 1998 British 2G Eclipse. Anyways,I'm a British-born (but with American parents) student at Michigan State University, a mechanical engineer by education and a motorsport engineer by trade and I have just purchased a...

Simple-ish fix: the door lock pushes in when I use it. I've removed the door panel and the plastic sheet and have managed to wrestle the metal clip off with some swearing and now that I've got the lock seated back in place I cannot seem to get it to stay there.It seems as though the lock has...
