Honestly curious what everyone sees in these logs. Fairly stock 1990 Eclipse GST: stock replacement fuel pump, 450cc injectors, N/T FPR (supposedly), Evo III 16G at wastegate pressure, hacked air can but otherwise original MAF, FP exhaust manifold, and Link V3.First, I jumped-started the car...
As time allows, I have been in the garage trying to complete a timing belt job. Knowing that reassembly is around the corner and without a helping hand, I decided that it was time I finally built a tool to keep the crankshaft from rotating while torqueing the crankshaft bolt. I kept stumbling...
Up for sale are a set of lightly used 2G FWD tubular rear toe arms. These pieces were installed on the family 2G and driven only 4,765 miles before removal and replacement. The 2G is going back to stock as it will never be used for racing so these pieces would go to waste. There is absolutely...
Sold. Thanks for the interest!Up for sale is an internally gated Forced Performance 68HTA turbocharger. I purchased this directly from FP to eventually install on one of my DSMs and never did. It is going to continue to sit and for no good reason so it’s time to let it go. This new 68HTA...
Coming up on a year ago, I messaged Maurice G. (TunaTalon) to post this paper or, seeing as how he had not visited the site in some time, allow me to do it for him. I have not seen a response and assume it is a respectable time to have waited before moving ahead with this.In no way, shape, or...
For those who own a 2G and do not have access to Mitsubishi's CAPS or ASA programs and cannot find the part numbers elsewhere on the web, these PDFs provide diagrams of every aspect of the 1995-1996 and 1997-1998 Eagle Talon including some information that cannot be found in CAPS or ASA. These...

A few weeks ago my car threw a check engine light for the O2 sensor. Upon inspection, I found a broken wire at pin 2 (black, sensor ground) very close to the connector itself, pictured below.I purchased a replacement connector with terminals and the seal from OHM-Racing...
Seeing as this was the last Factory Mitsubishi Owner's Day, I figured I'd go ahead and share the small number of shots I took while there. It was a great time, per usual and it is sad knowing there won't be another at the birthplace of our beloved DSMs.Yes, this is the old school method of...
2G N/T HP UpgradesNon-turbo DSMs that were built from 1995-99 have a 2.0 liter, 140hp DOHC Chrysler 420A motor. These motors are completely different from the Mitsubishi 2.0 liter motors and their parts are not interchangeable. To get more performance out of these cars, here are suggestions...
Increasing Horsepower in a 2G turboSo you want more power out of your 2G turbo DSM? Make sure you learn a few things before making some common "noob" mistakes. DSM's have a reputation of going fast for cheap. But they're regularly neglected and have gained an unfair reputation of being...

Note from 19Eclipse90: I will preface this article by saying that the most common questions we get concerning making power for a non-turbo DSM ask how to either install a turbo on a non-turbo engine or swap a turbo engine into the non-turbo car. In either case and for either 1.8L or 2.0L N/T...

Here's a guide to help you get your 90-94 Eagle Talon, Plymouth Laser or Mitsubishi Eclipse ready for low 1/4 Mile Times. This mod list is for those interested only in drag racing. You'll notice most upgrades will involve saving as much weight as possible. To find ways to improve your drag...
You have a factory turbocharged DSM so, of course, you want to go fast. Before you do there are several maintenance checks you will want to run through. These cars have an unfair reputation of being unreliable in other circles - much of that reputation is due to new owners throwing on a boost...
So you've modded your DSM and are now looking for the right place to let all that power loose. Well, if you just finished watching the Fast and the Furious, you're probably thinking that you need to go out and find a Mustang to race at a street light. Bad idea. What you need to do is better your...
Diamond Star Motors (DSM) was a joint effort between Mitsubishi and Chrysler's Eagle and Plymouth divisions. This partnership is responsible for producing the Eclipse, Talon and Laser which we refer to on this site as DSM cars.We've put together a simple guide pointing out the significant...

Many of us are aware of the fantastic What size is that bolt? Screw? Fastener? article that delicately details and catalogs many of the fasteners, nuts, bolts, etc., used in a 2G FWD vehicle. While most of those can be assumed to fit a 2G AWD without much of a hiccup, it is a bit of a leap to...

I have a 90 GST with a JDM motor, and I really need to get a turbo timer. I've been looking at the HKS or APEX timer. Any suggestions, inputs are welcome. Thanks.

Totally fubarred....>>So I just got a call from my dad and he tells me that this motor (original 7-bolt, 125K miles) has just blowed up. Says he was out testing it after changing out the bad spark plugs, going about 80 in 4th and the thing 'blew up'. They will get pictures to me as soon as...
My first DSM has become something respectable. What started out as a paint faded, high mileaged non-turbo when we bought it in September of '03 has transformed into a little piece of turbo'd eye candy. We are still looking into a few things to finish it up the exterior cosmetically but for the...
I'll let the pictures do the talking.NOOOOO.........:cry:...Hit with the realization that my car is old. :D Finished up a 1200mile round trip to New Mexico this afternoon, and these photos were taken on the drive home just east of Amarillo, TX; since then another 300+ miles have...
I posted this event on Okladsm.com and forgot there were some members here that aren't on there, so here we go:>>Friday, March 16th at Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble. We can either meet up somewhere and cruise down or just meet up at the track, it doesn't matter to me. Ideas for that much...
Searched around and didn't find another, so I figured I'd be the cool guy to go ahead and get this started. Post up what you got, pics are always good. I can sorta start it - I have received $20 from a lady at my church and a pizza party from my boss at work. We'll see what tomorrow brings...
Well I finally got the DSM to where it's appearance is showy enough to take pics and make a thread about it. When I bought it, it had a shotty paint job, terrible purple tint, a funny looking front end, and as all DSM and 3/Ss hate (maybe as well as other cars), those damned black window trim...
Yes I know another tire size question, please don't hate on me because I tried to read up on what I could before I came around to posting a new thread.
This is for my 1g FWD that is lowered 1.0"-1.5". I'm going to put some 17x7 wheels with a 42mm offset on them. After reading the rules of thumb...
I never thought I would see the day when my Mom would enter into the world of DSMs!!!
I knew she liked the look of the 2gbs, but I could have sworn she would never go for one. She also loves the color blue which is also strange of why she got this one, but hey, no argueing here. This morning she...
ALl the posts I've read were for 2gs FWD or 1g AWD, never found one with these questions for a 1g FWD.With that said....I will soon be lowering (Eibach Sportlines w/ KYB AGXs) my 1g GST. My questions are these. The camber will be thrown off, I am looking forward to it. However, Eibach...
But 0 in the other. I don't have a clue what could be left. The head just had a valve job done. From the front of the engine it is the second cylinder. This is on my N/T, though I don't think it makes that much of a difference. It doesn't make sense to me because even a leaky valve, rings, or...
Read this on 3Si.org, thought I'd pass it on to those of you who could make it. I think it's a great idea though.>>>I'm helping pass on the news that Mitsu USA is going to throw an event that will invite any mitsu powered, preferably modified car to it's Headquarters for an official Mitsu...
So I'm in high school, trying to play a sport, keep up in classes, and work a part time job. Thanks to the sport, I can only work one day a week and I usually work 7 hours on that day to have enough money to keep my car going, and whatever I have left over goes to modding or into savings...
We are going to replace the fork and ball (fulcrum). What I want to know is if anyone else has done this without taking the whole transmission out? If not, do you think it is possible? We replaced the clutch, TOB, and had flywheel resurfaced two weeks ago, and we still have problems, so we...
Story: Okay so I was driving the GS around today and I made a few stops, one at the Mitsu. dealer, one to drop off the axles from the GST to get new boots, and a third and fourth at salvage yards. No problems there whatsoever. Then I go drive around a little bit more to see what I could see...
I own a 1g with stock 14b, and I am looking into getting an intake. I'm leaning on Dejon because it's about the only one I can find for a 1g. Anyways, I have access to a 3/S MAS but no plug, and I know 2g MAS and plug run pretty high, so I thought about purchasing one of the 1g pipes that adapts...
I've been looking into downpipes now that I've gotten my exhaust manifold out of the way, and my brother recommended getting the Apex N-1 pipe, but it costs $203 which I don't know if it's even shipped, my computer messes up and I can't view cart. The one at Punishment Racing costs $115ish and...
Alright, yes I have an exhaust leak. There is a large crack on top, and then worse. Two studs are broken on the left side of the manifold, so the manifold flaps and is extremely loud when idling. I am in the process of getting a ported 2G mani. and while I'm putting that on, I'm going to replace...
This just started up today on my way to work. My car is 90 Eclipse GST, I thought it might be a loose water guard because I just installed them only enough to where they would hold. But I checked that and it was pretty stable. I don't think it's anything in the engine because I put the car in...
What is a TD-05 turbo? Is it another name for a 14B or is it it's own turbo, maybe bigger?
Thanks

I finally got the car off of stands the other day (I got it running) and I went to drive it and the driver side shoulder belt wouldn't retract to restrain me. What is the deal? I read up on a different thread that there was a fuse somewhere, I wasn't sure where, and I really couldn't find it. SO...
My power steering belt snapped the other day and I've had a lot of fun trying to find the right belt. I finally got one ordered that was the same size and everything, but it is the V-Ribbed Cogged belt. The old one was the V-Ribbed Conventional. So before I go and put this cogged belt in and it...
Okay I'm completely and totally confused as to why my car is like this. I just bought this 1990 Eclipse GST and the whole turbo concept was confusing me at first but then after I figured that out, I noticed the piece that connects with a tube to the radiator that has the radiator cap on it (I...
So I come home from work last night, and my brother had picked up an Autotrader magazine in which was listed a 1990 Eclipse GST. I called the guy up he said he still had it, we went and test drove it. Clutch seems a little bad but that can be fixed. Other minor things are also wrong but that...
Okay I don't really know what's up. The car barely gets going in first gear. I would rev it to about 2500 and let off the clutch slowly. The RPMs would dive down to 1000 or less and the car would barely start rolling. It would do this for about 100 feet and then it would start bucking back and...
