    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I've gotten the alternator rebuilt over the past couple weeks to where I am getting proper voltage.We took the car out for quite a drive to study this issue more. In totality we think the issue is there is too much fuel to ignite. When driving, if you push throttle in the slightest too much...

    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I will regap my plugs when I get the chance this weekend.I will also note that when I hooked up an OBD scanner it popped up with a misfire code. I will try to chase that code and see if it moves cylinders this weekend either because of the injector or coilpack.I will also note that my...

    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I don't know why the waste gate would open but when you give it any throttle it'll pop like it has two-step and the flames seem to be coming from the wastegate... I'll post a video when I can get one. We did do a boost leak test from the turbo inlet. A ghost cam tune is a tune that affects the...

    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I can get pictures this weekend, but I know for sure the computer threw a misfire code. But my buddies and I cannot audibly detect a miss.It's also difficult to detect if it does or not because it has a ghost cam tune.We swapped with new spark plugs to see a difference but I could not tell...

    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I know this is quite a bit later, but we have checked all the sensors and wiring. There is a few plugs in the rear driver side of the engine bay but I believe it's for the A/C since it was taken out. We also replaced spark plugs. It sounds like it falls on its face because it's getting flooded...

    2G Loss of power when throttle is open

    I got a 97 Eclipse Spyder GS-T that I just freshly rebuilt. It's got a 16g turbo in it and before it was rebuilt it was running fine according to the previous owner.I've done a boost leak test and can't find any thing too major. I know the throttle body leaks. But no matter how I tweak my...

    2G Piston crown damage

    I can't get pictures right now but we couldn't find any marks on them. Plan to thoroughly clean them and oil them before moving anything.

    2G Piston crown damage

    What do you guys recommend for rings gaps for the new piston? This current setup makes around 20 lbs

    2G Piston crown damage

    Out of all these the only thing I haven't done is honing. And I'd have to find a ring compressorAlso, are there any recommendations on what piston I should get? If everything is stock - isn't it 8.1 compression ratio 85mm bore?

    2G Piston crown damage

    This is my first time going into the block, my second time doing a head. I just wasn't sure if it was as simple as pulling the oil pan, unbolting the rod from the crank, and pulling it out

    2G Piston crown damage

    Is it alright to replace a single piston and not the others? How hard of a job is this?

    2G Piston crown damage

    I recently just bought a 97 Eclipse GST with the 4g63t in it. The previous owner said it bent a valve and it would need a new head. I pop the head off and it turns out a valve head broke completely off into cylinder 2, doing some damage. I'm trying to get a second opinion on what I should do...
