I've seen some testing, the replica DENSO coils do crack and overheat. Toyota cancelled their coil production with Denso years ago, now the only OEM brand new coils you can get is through BOSCH, each coil costs 60$ or so, I'm ordering a set now as well. Almost made a mistake buying the fake...

I have to wonder, because I have similar issue, those hiccups when cranking, as if its losing power or something, mine does that sometimes and it POPS, and my idle goes to 2k on its own, quite weird, if someone knows what that could be, I'd really love to know lol

@pauleyman The car is stock, for what it is. It was an NA 7bolt 2g from Europe when I got it.. I turboed it with all the stock parts like many here do. Note I had this issue while it was NT.. It would go away and come back all on its own.. Very weird issue.. I am trying to set up link to log...

@pauleyman I have logged it like a 100 times, no knock, timing is fine, TPS is fine and adjusted. The only thing I can see in that range when the car jerks is that all my fueling goes to 0, and I do have an idea that the jerk I feel is fuel cut when I let go off the throttle but I have no idea...

I am tired of chasing the issue and I have to try to get some answers here as I am not very inclined,You can see my build profile but to say in advance, 90% of the stuff is already replaced with new OEM stuff as I was fishing to fix the issue,The issue: The car has a big ass loss of power...

@spyderdrifter Yeah I know, the thing is, when I bought the car It had those chineze angel eyes headlights with halos and had xenon bulbs inside. They were 100% orange and dim weaker than the halogen bulbs. I found out that if the car is off, you turn it on, turn on the headlights, they will be...

@Widgmaster My starter failed on me 5 days ago (its been grinding for months) but I already had 2 OEM starters prepared and wanted to replace the factory wiring to 2 gauge instead of 4 gauge stock and replace the battery terminals since they were busted. (stock wiring was all frayed up and...

Whats up DSM fam, got some more issues I have to fix :DEver since I got the car, always had flimsy light output, despite installing the 80$ led bulbs into the OEM headlight, it was much better but never "that good" . As we all know, LED bulbs give pure white with a bit of a bluish tint to it...

Continuing my build...(At this point Im almost done)Here I was done but not satisfied on how it looked and performed, had a high cold idle (BAD FIAV) and unadjusted TPS, plus this ugly reservoir tank was bugging me so I ordered new parts again.(Got a new OEM EVO8 Knock sensor and both...

To continue my build post.(Took out the rest of the crap, windshield washer fluid reservoir which takes place where the stock SMIC is and the Fuse box)(Had a leak here, so I got a new oem thermostat with new gasket + sanded both surfaces clean and sharp)(Removed the radiator here which...

Hi everyone, My name is Marko and this is my DSM story :dsm:Little background story about me and the car. I come from a very weird (laws) country inside the Europe which is called Serbia WTF It isn't a part of the European Union hence why the following laws. I am not able to import any...

Oh, yes of course. I zip tied it for just in case so it holds much better

Boost source as in boost gauge? Im still running a stock GST FPR , if you meant on the boost gauge, it is set up correctly but since its pro sport electrical gauge it has a sender thingie which needs to be connected to the gauge. Thats the part that got installed wrong (it isn't wired together...

Working on getting the boost gauge fixed, what about spark plugs? I have a new set which I gapped myself (BPR6ES to 0.32 or 0.30 can't remember on top of the head). I do have this log, I know it has knock, prolly because its still an NA engine with higher compression, running 100 octane gas...

Yes, no issues there. I am not talking about engine lack of power but there's no added turbo boosted power anymore. I did the turbo swap recently (this summer) with a little pedal push it will spool and pull with added power, now in 2nd gear rips when I do a pull (I never WOT) but I can't feel...

I've searched but haven't found many other threads with the similar issues, if there are any I apologizeAs the title states, I don't feel any boost in 1st and 2nd gear.Since my car was a 4g63NA 2G 99 year (Euro spec), after I boosted it with GST parts (you have my build list in profile)...

Heres another log from today, unchecked the air flow with SD thing and tried it now (the pull was with 2nd gear and a bit of the 3rd). Had CEL flash once or twice at higher rpms

@1990TSIAWDTALON Yes sir, exactly that, drivability issue. I drove in a lot weaker cars 60-70hp and they have a lot more "power" than my car right now. When it drove fine, it was unreal but I hate it being so sluggish at lower rpms so I have to press the pedal a lot to even get to 3k rpm. The...

@1990TSIAWDTALONYeah I know where its located, just thought of what will change in driving when I uncheck it so I can notice.Yeah I need to replace the knock sensor... As far as a tune my buddy used I am not sure, do you maybe have some way you can remote check my ecm yourself and maybe...

@1990TSIAWDTALON Hey man, thanks for looking out!The car is stock injectors and turbo wise. The only thing that is not is 2.8 full exhaust from turbo to the back with no cat + injen intake pipe. I believe everything else is stock.Can you tell me what does the first thing do that you...

@gofer @frosh29At long last, got myself ECM and had a buddy set it up for me via remote tune. We read the codes, it was the rear o2 due to no cat + mdp because I dont have it.. He also leaned out in higher rpms to 11 something and added the anti lag.It turns out my throttle position was...

DSM_15_2G submitted a new DSM Profile :Euro DSMRead more about this vehicle here...

Btw, is idle supposed to change when you unplug the IAC? I tested the pins, they all have 32 ohms on them but when the car is running, as I unplug it nothing changes, when I unplug MAF it drops from 2k to 1.5k and when I disconnect tps it drops to 1k but it sounds like its going to dieI...

Hey Gofer, thanks for responding to the thread, as far as the coolant temp sensor, I have two new oem spares and tried them all, no change at all, not to idle nor the rich issueI am trying to get the ecm link and the wideband so I can actually see what's going on inside the car but till then...

@motomattx As far as the injector seals, I've replaced everything with new oem stuff, new seals, orings, gaskets, everything. Just to eliminate intake manifold gasket issue I replaced that one as well with oem part. I will boost leak it again and go from there, I don't feel safe risking it to...

Hi guys,I am posting here because I think It's related to the engine management side...I have 2 problems at the moment.1. The car is running really rich 2. I have a high idleLet me introduce the story behind the problems so maybe someone can help me out. Anyways, my car started out as a...

You are right, I had no clue about these pins see :banghead:From what I saw on youtube, changing pins should be fairly easy, unclip it and clip it somewhere else (in this case 8 and 22).. Damn Mitsubishi!As far as the oil pan, I do have oem GST oil pan with the holes, mine right now leaks...

That is awesome!I have a FPR, but I will not be running the solenoid, I'll just connect the wastegate so it runs at stock psi all the time (or Manual Boost Controller). As far as the Resistor Box for the injectors, I saw the wiring diagram and I'm familiar with the process. The ECU has 4...

Greetings from Serbia,I am also in the process of swapping the GS to GST just like you did here.. I have acquired all the parts and after I rebuild the GST throttle body I will start the swapHow's the car behaving now? I am going to use 95 gsx eprom ECU with 2.7 from turbo to back custom...

Hey everyone,I'm starting the new thread because I didn't find anything similar to my state. Basically I own a 99' Mitsubishi Eclipse GS (European 4g63 7 bolt). I plan on turboing the car this month or the next (depending when I gather all the parts needed). I've planned on going all stock...

Thanks for the reply man,I know @Kryndon , he even suggested me the evo internals and he lives close to me here in Europe. I just wanted to have all the info in one place (the clearance stuff+the rotation and stuff) so I can just hand it down to the shop Ill take the car toBecause I don't...

Thanks for the reply man, yeah I know it all bolts up, and I know about the resistor pack and the wiring diagram, basically its just each wire to the harness of it.. What I am worried about is the internals of evo8 inside of the engine, if they fit 100% or modding needs to be done to something..

Before anyone says about reading other posts, I have, haven't found similar situation yetI want to turbo my GS, I am using everything stock (turbo ecu, injectors, smic, turbo gearbox, etc.) and I want to be on the safe side. Going with either t25 or 14b for now. (Goal 220-240 bhp), Some...

Update:I've ordered new Mishimoto radiator to replace my leaking stock one. Got the OEM shoe lever thingy to replace on my transmission as well.I'll start with adjusting the clutch since it doesent go all the way down, then Ill clean the solenoid connectors since they're all gooey. I will...

@motomattx I am trying to figure out how will evo scan work and where can I get oneI saw on their website, 25$ for the software but I just can't find out which cable I can use to connect to my lap topUpdate: My bad I didn't read carefully you said tactrix cable

@motomattx You are talking about ECM Link? My car is European GS which is non Turbo and I cant run a gst ecu just yet@Issues Hey man, we only had 1 GSX here but it was in a big ass crash and the car I got was in the best condition in my country, we have like 7-10 Dsms here.

@KryndonThat's awesome, always wanted to visit the Black Sea.The shop told me the first time I was there that the both Master and Slave were repaired with the kit.The accumulator thing was removed in my case.The issue that I have with the clutch now is following:1. You press it all the...

@Kryndon Hey man, where are you in Bulgaria?To be fair bro I knew there is a break in period but the shop already "tested" the car in higher rpms. But I drive the car mildly all the time, except when Im passing someone. So I guess that break in period got skipped.As far as the master and...

Greetings everyone,I've been on this forum for years now, learning and reading stories of other people.First of all, I am from Europe and I own a 2G DSM (1999) European Version (4g63 NA).Mostly the car is the same as the GST, it has a weaker transmission with a bit shorter gears and of...
