Definitely Hoosier QTP or some other street legal slick. I have 205mm Hankook ventus all season tires on stock 16 inch wheels and spin in first and second with a quaife LSD. You want as wide of a tire you can get with FWD.

Can anyone confirm using the stock 2g swirly wheels? I'm almost positive they will need spacers. I remember not having much room left between the knuckle and tire with 205mm tires.

Yes! I think I found a much better option. It's called a vh44 inline brake booster. Basically it's a brake booster made for remote mounting. You can put it anywhere between the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. I wonder if you could swap the canister on it for a smaller one since it is...

Would it be possible to use the one in the link below without modifying the bell housing. It seems like you could replace the pivot ball with supplied stud and run the steel braided lines out the hole that the fork sticks out...

I recently discovered that the Mitsubishi 3000gt VR4 comes from the factory with a clutch booster. This works simar to a brake booster which uses vacuum to make the pedal easier to depress. Is there any way of retro fitting one of these into a DSM or are there any vendors that sell a bolt in...

Bringing this one back. Does anybody have any more information on hydraulic throwout bearings? Which ones work on DSMs? Which ones require no transmission bell housing modification? What clutches can they be used with? Does it require significantly less effort to depress the clutch pedal with...

I say the biggest issue is connecting the frame rails to that firewall. Why not attach those mustang frame rails to the factory frame rails by tubing or square steel. Then weld the factory firewall back in and cut out metal to fit the transmission through.This link has a galant vr4 owner that...

I am thinking of putting an 8 gallon fuel cell where the spare tire used to be but not cutting out the bump. It is about 9" from the base of the spare tire well to the spare tire well cover. On summit racing they have vertical 8 gallon cells that are 10.25" in height. If you cut out a hole the...

Wow congrats on an awesome run! The car looks beautiful. If u don't mind can u pm me how much it cost to have the tubular core support done. STM is six hours away but my core support is almost completely rusted out from the New England winters.

Thank you for posting Zufelt. I have the exact same setup as you and was wondering about the shim! Also what kind of grease do people recommend using on the pivot ball and fork. My dad has a grease gun that I've used in the past but I'm not sure if there is a specific grease that is best.

Thanks for all the help guys. I pulled the transmission and I ended up breaking the ACT throwout bearing. This thread is resolved for me.

The car is currently sitting on jack stands. I'm waiting for some free time so I can pull the transmission and see what's going on. The car is not stuck in gear. I can shift through all the gears when the car is not running. I think I broke the clutch fork or the ACT throwout bearing. I will...

Ok so I was able to take a look at things. I pulled back the boot on the slave and I didn't notice any leaks. I tried pushing in the slave by hand and it didn't budge. I found this shocking because I adjusted the clutch according to jack's transmission's video and it was previously movable by...

I'm having the same exact problem with my 1995 GST. I was driving and the car was shifting fine when suddenly I couln't shift into any gear. I was able to get it back into third and make it home. Now with the car in my driveway it will shift through all gears when the car is off. This is with or...

You would have to call or e-mail him. That was a long time ago but last I heard he had a couple people that were going to help him get it mocked up. I'm sure he has it all figured out by now. If you end up getting one post some pictures of it installed in your car.

Awesome thanks Dsmkauai! Can you post a link of where you got your slicks. I can't seem to find any on summit or jegs.

So it looks like the tire companies only make 26" tall tires for a 16" wheel. I have a set of stock 2g swirly wheels in my shed that I would like to put slicks on for trips to the track. I'm on the 16g and plan on making around 300whp after I get the car tuned. Will the 26" slicks be too tall...

From the pics it looks like the two extra ports on the Evo head would be blocked off by the SOHC head gasket. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. It would be nice if there was no welding required.

Can you post a pic of how this ground is mounted? Mine goes from the negative terminal of the battery to the lower bolt on the starter and it's contacting the transmission. I replaced the cable with a new one from autozone as well as a new chassis ground. My car has always required a lot of...

Very awesome! I have a question. The 4g64 SOHC block has extra coolant passages that need to be blocked when doing the DOHC swap on DSMs. The Evo head also has extra coolant passages. Would the extra coolant passages in the Evo 8 head line up with the 1995-1999 4g64 block without needing to...

I wanted to update this again because I changed up my set up a little bit. My car was taking a lot of cranking to start and I wasn't happy with it so I took everything apart again. I drilled out the -8AN fitting some more by using a 9/16th drill bit on my dad's drill press. This was the exact...

Can you post some pictures of the baffles? Also how much money do you have into materials if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the replies guys. So basically I have to find a rotor hat that fits the 10.2 inch rotors and also the 11 inch rotors that I would be upgrading to. No such luck so far. I was kinda hoping Paul Volk or snowboarder would help me out with this one since they seem to have a vast knowlege...

Sorry to bring this one back but does anyone know why there's a difference in mounting between bezels. The ones pictured in post #6 have the bolt go through the middle and the ones pictured on the red car in post #12 have the bolt hole on the far right. I have a reproduction front bumper and the...

Ok I did some more searching and I came up with some rotors that are 10.25 inches. The part number is 160-3747. Here is a link to them Wilwood High-Performance Disc Brakes - Rotor No: 160-3747. So I think these will work but I need some hats to go along with them. The rotors in the link have a...

Does Wilwood make a rotor that will work with stock Eclipse GST calipers? I believe the stock GST rotors are 10.3". So I would need part numbers for the front Wilwood hats and the rotors that would go along with them. The smallest rotor I've seen so far is 11". This may sound crazy to some but...

I wouldn't drive a spider without a roll cage. Convertibles scare the shixt out of me :|.

I never posted what I ended up doing so here it is. I welded an aluminum bung onto one of the runners on the intake manifold and used the factory brake booster spot to thread in my map sensor.

Ok thanks a lot I thought it would have been in that spot. I would probably just drill a hole big enough to thread in the tow hook and just leave it in all the time.

^Exactly how I would've done it. Can you post a pic of where the tow hook comes out of the front bumper?

I'm just going to get an electronic cutout in the spring and have a quiet muffler welded to the end of my 3 inch catback. Does anybody know what the quietest 3 inch muffler is with dual tips? I want something that looks like the stock eclipse muffler. Are exhaust cutouts illegal in MA? I'm sure...

So Nitrous Express sells throttle activated nitrous switches. They have a throttle position sensor, a relay, and something that plugs into the relay that I'm assuming goes to the electronic cutout. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to tap into the factory throttle position sensor and use...

Sorry I wasn't talking about this particular cutout. I'm talking about a standard electronic cutout but wiring it up to open automatically when the computer sees 100% throttle position.

I have a question along the same lines. Is there a way to actuate the cutout under wide open throttle conditions (WOT). I have ECMLink, is there a way to tap into the computer to actuate the cutout when it sees 100% throttle actuation. Tap into the throttle position sensor maybe?

Well I would get the entire O2 housing coated not just the dump tube. I went out an looked at my car and I really don't see this thing working. The VRSF kit has less room than the one in the link I posted. O well one more reason to hate the VR Speed kit.

Well my car is a '95 so I don't need emissions testing :rocks:. I found this thread on dsmtalk using the SSAC kit which is similar to the VR Speed kit as far as I know.SSAC o2 Dump: DSMtalk.comHe said he had to do a little cutting to get everything to fit. He also had to heat wrap the...

Back from the dead! Does anybody know if this O2 housing will work with the VRSF FMIC? From the looks of it, its going to dump the wastegate gasses right onto the intercooler pipe and coupler. Please post up pictures if you have them.

So can anybody tell me the water temperature that the heat exchanger fan comes on at in a water to air system? Does it just stay on all the time? Also why doesn't anybody make a bolt on water to air intercooler kit for DSMs? I know they take up a lot of room in the engine bay but I'm sure...

Well thank you. I can't see the build thread though because I'm not a member of that forum. It looks like there's a j-pipe in that picture, are you sure he was running the FP Green at that time? I'm gonna PM kidtsi, since he hasn't checked this thread in a while.

If you put the heat exchanger right up against the a/c condensor can you just use the factory radiator fan for cooling. I'm not sure if the fan coming on at 200°F would be too late for the intercoolers heat exchanger.

Looks like I have some phone calls to make. I will probably talk to Tim Zimmer about it he's a really nice guy.

Bringing this back because 2nd and 3rd are grinding a little. Does anybody have direct links to DSM vendors offering these? I was going to call some places and see if they could make them for DSMs but I'm not a serious buyer just yet. I want to wait until spring when I get the car tuned to see...

Can you take a picture of the engine bay showing the radiator fan clearance?

Kidtsi I know it says you have slim fans in your profile but is it possible to fit the factory fans in there with an internally gated FP Green?

I'm lovinig this design :thumb:. I think the larger the fan you can fit there the better. The stock fans are estimated to pull over 1000cfm a piece so to match this you would need a 15 inch or larger slim fan. Also incorporating a draft flap like the one in this video would be nice.Radiator...

Does anybody know if doing this would cause exhaust fumes to get inside the cabin. Like if your cruising with the windows down in the summer will you be choking on fumes? Also I read in another thread on bumper exit exhausts that someones paint got messed up from the exhaust fumes blowing down...

So you're saying the frame isn't going to get bent from towing say, an Eclipse with another Eclipse LOL. I've read other places that frame rigidity has an effect on the amount of weight you can pull.

How much would stich welding the entire car increase towing capacity? Also, a roll cage would stiffen it up.

Does anybody know how the thickness of this compares to header wrap? I currently have my O2 sensor housing wrapped and I had to cut some of the exhaust wrap in order to use my special socket tool. Its a standard 3/8" drive O2 sensor removal tool but wouldn't fit in there completely. I wanted to...

I'm talking about widening the gap between the mounting tab and that 90 degree bend that is in the way. You would still use the same foglight mounting bolt which would shift the entire intercooler core lower. I'm not sure if the couplers are flexible enough for this. I think they are though...
