    crankwalk possible on auto trannies?

    Just wondering if anyone here with an automatic GSX or GST has ever had a problem with crankwalk?I think my friend is having that problem, as the car won't start and I'm watching the timing belt hop a little bit. I don't think its the tensionor because its on there pretty good and wont' get...

    power

    Cheap to power ratio, your best bet is Nitrous.Also good tires surpisingly help you put the power to the ground.

    420A Header Problem car jumping

    Question number 1) is it a 4-1 race header or a 4-2-1 race header?2) Are you sure you put all the gaskets on and that there weren't any tears in them?3) If it is a 4-2-1 design, does he middle section connect with a gasket or does one side slip over the other?4) Front O2 sensor...

    1st full runs with the turbo [email protected]

    Hey This may seem trivial but what kind of tires were you running on the track, and when you drove it home.

    tensionor adjuster

    Okay boys and girls, I'm kind of desperate here.I need one part to get my eclipse back to the dyno and tuning again before winter really sets in.Does anyone know where to find a hydraulic timing belt tensioner quickly? I need an OEM hydraulic tensioner as quickly as possible. Its the...

    Turbo Build

    if you really want to make it known what side of the intercooler piping is the hot and cold side, considering putting on a Red or off color (colour, I'm in canada now) coupler on the hot side of the intercooler.And I couldn't tell if you ended up doing it, nor did I read if someone else...

    PnP MSnS is HERE!!!!!

    If I run this and it will get rid of my check engine lights (due to my stock injectors and ignition timing control being lifted from the stock ecu and to the MSnS) I might just have to take the bullet and buy it cause of the emissions laws up here in toronto and the process of licensing here.

    420a Build Suggestions

    Honestly, if NA power is the way you want to go, your going to have to be thinking a little different than some of the domsetic guys (unless they are running computers on their V8's as well)Megasquirt, is probably the only real way your going to be able to tune any of the mods (top end...

    Narrow Band O2???

    well for more clarification on the wideband vs narrowband...The narrowband is actually about 300rpm slower than what a true wideband would tell you. (ie. your tac says 6000rpm but the narrowband reading your getting is showing 5700rpm) The signal going to the stock ecu has already processed...

    My turbo called it quits...

    I'm not sure how long you've had your car for, but if you call up turbonetics and explain what happend, there is a good chance they will replace or refirbish your turbo for free or at least the cost of shipping.My friends turbo broke on his 420a a couple of years back, and it would have...

    The new members will learn in time. But good heads up on the backpressure arguement, I hate having to explain this all the time, "mods hook him up with rep points"To the Original Poster:I'm running the P.I.T. Catback exhaust (full 3" for turbo applications) But I love the sound of...

    battery light !

    Have you just installed anything electrical on your car in the past month?Back in the original F&F days I used to have a set of LED Streetglow's under my car, and one of the wires was cut accidentally and then spliced back. A little while later it grounded out my whole car during a...

    Check your EGR Tube and or connections, make sure Its not touching any wires.My whole car shut down on the freeway doing about 70mph in the fastlane in rush hour traffic. NOT FUN

    Turbo my GS?

    Check the video's in the sticky at the top, Seeing is believing.IMO: Going from a 420a to a GST isn't really an "upgrade" especially if you put a lot of time and money into your 420a NT.I'd say go big, and opt for the GSX.Selling the car and opting for the stock turbo setup which...

    cant get 420a to run right

    I"m gonna take a wild guess and say timing on this one....secondly, Unplug and replug in that cam angle sensor, (same with the crank angle sensor if you tampered with it during the build) you'd be surprised how it can magically just not be clicked in all the way.And lasty do you remember...

    Oil catch can mounting location?

    I've actually got mine, mounted under the frame under the passenger side headlight. (the space infront of the wheel well on the passenger front tire) With the drain screw at the bottom, it makes oil changes a snap.

    [RESOLVED] overheating at red lights

    Its real simpile. You've got air in the coolant system. Hence why when you stop. moving at a red light there is no air passing through the radiator to keep things cool.Do what everyone else towards the bottom of this thread is saying. Flush the radiator. but when you refill it, make sure...

    Lower o2 gone/CEL light on. HELP!!!

    first off, miles/gallon = gas mileage. Fill up the gas tank all the way. Set the trip meter to zero before you leave the gas station. The next time you fill up, take the milage on the trip meter and divide it by the amount of gas you put back in to fill the car up again.As for the 02...

    No Start - No Spark

    And lastly, make sure that pesky EGR Valve isn't touching any wires, that shut my car down on the freeway in the fastlane one day way back.

    98 Eclipse N/T (w/turbo) help

    How many items on your car require a vacume source from that one tee, YOur best bet is to run a second tee.As for the glowing red hot side turbo, I noticed that mine tended to do this when more oxygen was presented in the exahust flow from a leak (ie small whole or crack somewhere near the...

    Super Lean, I need advice

    That jump in the AFR is a result of the FMU not responding to the boost immediately.....look how it spikes. And with that 50 trim running the dyno in third gear, your not gonna really see boost until 3500-4000, and the graph shows how the AFR's are dropping.I have a feeling that your used...

    [RESOLVED] chip?

    Negative...not anything that will help at least, probably do more damage than anything.Where did you send your ECU to be reprogrammed, and what was wrong with it?
  28. BigRand

    [RESOLVED] just bought it and it wont start!

    You need a multimeter, and the haynes manual should be able to tell you what each sensors resistance is supposed to be. Check it out on the multi meter. If they don't match then something is wrong.It sounds like something is loose, or not connected properly. You might pop the rear seats up...

    My dyno numbers....

    don't be surprised if you don't, there are a lot of guys on 2gnt.com a year or so that were running, 20psi plus and only pulling out 2-4degrees of timing at the most extreme levels on pump gas.Do you have an EGT gauge....if so when, your out on the road at full throttle, at max boost, check...

    -8AN fuel lines

    I'm running, -8an in, and 6 returning.yes its over kill, but I'll never have to worry about the fuel system, no matter what motor or horsepower ever winds up in the car.the main reason I ran those lines was due to the fact that Iwas already under there adding a return line system for...

    When do you shift? [Merged 7-8] points shifting revs point

    Well, get your car on a dyno, and see where the power band starts to taper off.My power band has the horsepower getting ready to drop again right after 7grand. So I have my limit set to 7500.I guess it depends on the rest of your setup, turbo ect. But I would agree with you that 8grand...

    How do you know if its your starter?

    Okay I feel like a real newbie again, but I gotta ask.How do you know if your starter is going out?Here is the story....So a couple of years ago I had an ignition kill switch placed on my vehicle that basically won't let the car start when you turn the key and press the clutch down...

    Need some advice

    Okay you have two moves you can do right now.....basic NA mods that can still be done...are like your underdrive pulley, 60mm TB (modern performance or Jeep TB MOD).But to be completely honest If your plan is to go turbo, I wouldn't bother with any of those until you go turbo (maybe the...

    Tranny advice...

    see post number 2 in this thread, post number 5 in the link it takes you too.Man I remember when one of those cotter pins got loose and fell off on me. I was getting on the freeway with a long on ramp, so I'm boosting it hardcore. I"m hitting 95-100mph when I here clink clink....I'm like OH...

    No Air/Fuel Gauge

    to be completely honest, if you were to hook up an AEM wideband to a car that is running, 8psi with a 12:1 FMU and walbro 255 fuel pump, It would probably peg green rich, like around 10.5 or below.Just think about how much fuel is coming in under a 12:1 setup (for those of you doing the...

    Advice On 1st Maintenance For 99 N/t Rs

    One of the 700 plus horsepower drag evo 8 that english racing (portland or) built stretched the greddy T-belt, and ended up being off about 4 theeth after the end of its first run, they did the whole T-belt job in the pit area at pacific raceways and replaced it with an OEM T-belt, no problems...

    420A 420A engine swap

    I would say the only real issue you might run into, is weather or not the 96 model eclipse had an early style fuel system (FPR located in the engine bay, with a returnline system) Or the late style (fpr located by the fuel filter in the back of the car, with the returnless style sytem)I...

    Crank Pulley Removal...HELP!

    Because sometimes when your using the puller, the stock crank bolt is kind of short, and by using a longer bolt you can get more force on the pulling action of the pulley, and I think its supposed to reduce damage to the threads.

    turbo manifold

    I'm sure you could have a shop custom make one just like that, for a pretty penny (well alot of them). But remember that you'd probably have to go with a set of slimline fans to make it fit correctly.
