    2G Door Defrost Vents

    I would suggest getting in touch with local salvage yards or checking out people parting out cars, I doubt those are still available new.
  2. totaleclipse_05

    where can I find quarterpanels?

    You'll need a donor car to replace that most likely. Why not just get a good shell and just swap the parts from that over to it?

    420A Project

    I would suggest doing some searching on 2gnt if you are wanting more ideas.

    420A Project

    Stock works perfectly fine if you boost it. Unless the motor is built and your fuel system is up to the task, you aren't going to reach the limits of a stock IM anyway.

    turbo spooling boost about 10 psi..and no go.

    Never hurts, but I wouldn't recommend just throwing money at parts hoping to fix the problem unless you know you have blown gaskets/exhaust leaks.Like Tanro recommended, look up how to complete a boost leak test on the car and that can at least rule out some potential causes.

    99 Eclipse 16g Restomod Daily Driver

    Looks like a fun little project you have going, good luck and can't wait to see more updates.

    420A 1997 Eclipse RS What cat-back should I go with?

    If you want a cheap solution, a GST stock catback was a decent upgrade for NA cars. Otherwise, eBay is probably going to be the next best bet. Definitely stay 2.5" unless you are turbo, will sound like ass and will probably lose some power with the bigger exhaust.

    General Which AFPR to get

    I've had an Aeromotive in the past on my old 1g and it worked good. Have a Fuel Lab setup from STM on my 2g and no issues whatsoever. I recommend Fuel Lab just for the fact STM has a kit with everything you need for install.

    Amazing you've kept it so long, how many miles you have on it??

    420A 2G 420a Left Turn Signal Stays On All The Time - Can't Signal Right or Turn Off Left

    Could be the switch itself for the turn signal. Could try another one maybe or just check the wiring and see if you can see any visual issues.

    2G How to tune with dsmlink V3?

    No it's not difficult, I learned just by reading threads on here and watching videos on YouTube.
  12. totaleclipse_05

    420A 2G 420a Left Turn Signal Stays On All The Time - Can't Signal Right or Turn Off Left

    It's flashing faster than it should, maybe a wire shorted somewhere? Will need to prod around the wiring and do some testing to find where the problem lies.
  13. totaleclipse_05

    1G Can't read my CEL codes at diagnostics port or at the ECU??

    Go to an autoparts store and use their code scanner, it will plug into the OBD port and report back with what the code is.

    2G automatic shifter

    Maybe should rehook up the wiring if you having a problem after you cut them?

    2G Pretty sure I have the howl of death (turbo)

    Sounds like a bad turbo to me, terrible sound.
  16. totaleclipse_05

    420A Project

    The answer is still no on this. You won't find anyone saying evo pistons will work in a 420a motor.

    Horn Diagnosis From Hell. Help needed.

    I always had issues with my horn working consistently. After putting in my Momo one and wiring up the horn to their button, it works 100x better. I think Mitsu put pretty crappy buttons in the for the horn.

    I think he was laughing at the joke EvilGST posted.

    Weird Clunking Type Sound

    Just throwing it out there (probably not your problem, on a 2g also), but I had a similar issue where if I would take sharp turns at decent speeds (parking lot speeds to 20ish mph) and put some g-forces into the car, it would make a clunking/grinding type noise. Put it up on a lift and noticed...

    2G Pretty sure I have the howl of death (turbo)

    Does the turbo build any boost at all? Sounds like it could be a bad turbo. Any shaftplay?

    Forged Piston to Wall Clearance

    I've never built a motor so maybe I'm completely wrong, but don't forged pistons expand a bit once warmed up?

    Who has the nicest 420a engine bay?

    Nice seeing you stop by Snoopy! I do remember your car from back in the day also.

    Very cool dash project! Can't wait to see more on that.

    Just bought, 95 eagle talon tsi awd

    I always recommend getting an AFPR when getting a 255 or above FP. You can do some searching here if you'd like to see what others say, but it's pretty common knowledge that it's a requirement with a 255 pump. There will always be people who say they don't have one and are running fine, but I...

    Just bought, 95 eagle talon tsi awd

    Welcome to the site. There is a ton of knowledge here so you can find pretty much anything you're looking for.I'd recommend also changing fluids (oil, transmission/transfer case/rear diff, etc.) so you know where you are at with those. Boost leak test the car to be sure no air leaks and fix...

    2G Front Crossmember Bolts Broke

    That's the same problem I had. First I tried different drill bits, but none were hard enough and dulled out quickly. I ended up getting some strong bits for my dremel and went to town on it and finally got it after a while.

    2G Front Crossmember Bolts Broke

    You can try an ez out, drill and tap, or try to helicoil. Any of the options won't be easy though IMO. I tried to use an ez out on my head to get a broken stud out and it ended up breaking the ez out inside and made the job 10x harder to fix. I'd just try to drill it out and depending on the...

    "Good Ole EVO III 16g days"... Just my thoughts

    Definitely not, the clutch would be spinning before that would happen.I don't know if I want to push my 16g that hard. I've been in evos with their stock 9 turbos pushing 30+ psi and it's fun, but it's still not like a big turbo feel.
  29. totaleclipse_05

    "Good Ole EVO III 16g days"... Just my thoughts

    Just running 20psi and no real drop off that I've noticed. Cams are definitely on the list along with e85, but I will need to update the clutch before pushing more power. I don't think much more power can be held on the current one and don't feel like forcing it to slip.
  30. totaleclipse_05

    "Good Ole EVO III 16g days"... Just my thoughts

    I think I remember that one haha! I just need a little more pull in the upper rpm range, the evoIII spools so fast it feels like the power "flattens" as the revs go higher.
  31. totaleclipse_05

    "Good Ole EVO III 16g days"... Just my thoughts

    This is what I thought of when I read your response lol

    "Good Ole EVO III 16g days"... Just my thoughts

    I suppose I am still living in the "good ole evo III 16g days", although I wish I had a bigger turbo :-/

    2G Car runs like crap, here's the codes and what I've done.

    Have you done a boost leak test? When you can get the car to idle, what is it idling at?

    aftermarket seats

    Like Carlz0r stated, the build quality is decent. I've read reviews online of people taking them apart to check on it and the frames are good quality.

    2G How to remove spoiler

    Post a picture of what you are referring to. The plastic cover just pulls off, it's held on by clips.
  36. totaleclipse_05

    aftermarket seats

    I've heard some good things about Cipher seats for a budget aftermarket option.Otherwise Corbeau is good stuff along with Sparco, Recaro, etc.

    2G How to remove spoiler

    It's pretty self explanatory once you pop the hatch and remove the plastic cover. There will be bolt heads.

    2G Car runs like crap, here's the codes and what I've done.

    I've never done a 6 bolt swap, nor looked into it, so I am not much help with that.An exhaust leak shouldn't have any bearing with it running like that although a boost leak could contribute to those symptoms. May want to also invest in a boost leak tester for troubleshooting. You can make...

    2G Car runs like crap, here's the codes and what I've done.

    You'll want to switch the SAFC setting back to karman, you aren't doing yourself any favors switching that to the wrong setting.My guess would be a wiring issue somewhere, either with the 6 bolt swap or SAFC. Better get a multimeter and start checking wiring.

    To me, it looks like it's positioned correctly/normally.

    2G Vrsf fmic with t25

    Your only options are to reweld the turbo compressor outlet or make something work with couplers and/or piping. That FMIC kit is not designed to bolt up to a t25 turbo.

    Holset HX40 purchase

    Well if you bought it through ebay and used paypal, you have protection if you don't receive it. Generally pretty safe to buy on ebay.

    Why is the site so slow these days?

    Constant IE crashes on my work computer from the site. I think it's the square ad on the right bar that is causing it. Happens probably about 5-10 times a day it seems.

    2G just bought a new toy how do I make it fun

    As someone who has turbo'ed a few 420a's in the past, at this point in the dsm lifecycle, it's better to start with a GST or GSX if you want to mod one considering the prices on them nowadays. Like everyone has mentioned, the couple grand it will cost to piece together a kit, you will be at...
