Im sorry to hear, that is the worst. Ive always found it odd when someone sells a fresh build, like they know something i dont, but i will soon find out. Ill be honest, Its odd to see a non mechanic own the platform, but really cool to see it appreciated by all. DSMs... turning men into...

Nice progress and good call on having someone build the motor for you. Focus on the fun and frustrating parts of the build. Or else just become a machinist. I just bought a 1gb that had a lot of the issues you encountered and has been sitting since 2008. You know theres not a ton of 1g talon...

This is the Build Thread for 1997 Eclipse GST: I'm sure it looked good 15 years ago.. Reply below.

Di you ever figure it out?

How's that build coming along? Wrapping up a lot of neglected odds and ends it seems. nothing major wrong with it?

Hey all,I just got back into DSM'ing after a few year hiatus... Found a 97 GS-T Manual that's not in good condition. 132K on it. I was told it runs but doesn't get oil to head after BS delete. I had it towed to the paint shop first off before it came home.... They are removing the rdoro body...

Hello from Kent, WA... I just got back into DSM'ing myself with this 2G GS-T. Unfortunately it's seen better days. At the paint shop now.

Yes. Standard deck prep for a composite head gasket

Mine had oil all over the valve on #3 (I think). It seeped oil out of the exhaust manifold it was so bad and separately seeped from the stud that goes into an oil passage. And cam seals. It was not drivable (burnt oil smell). It needed to be addressed. Quite a bit of smoke at idle ! I took the...

It will start with a few lbs :) welcome ! First thing I would do (aside from maintenence) is build a boost leak tester and make sure everything is air tight. Then aftermarket boost gauge. Definitely not 205bhp. About 185 to 195 crank. T25 spools quick, so that is on your side. 2 to 3 lbs should...

It all boils down to how much time you've got.. I know you are trying to save money here. Gasket kit and fluids - $130 or so each time you put a new head on.. trial by fire.. or take some extra time, pull that pan, hone the cylinder, buy a set of pistons and rings. Sounds like this is an...

Pulled the head off of my 6 bolt 4G63 that has 192K on it due to it leaking oil from the exhaust stud through oil galley and cam seals, and also valve stem seals that are shot. I just needed it to quit leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold so I could drive it.Surprised to find decent...

Have you OHM'd out the knock sensor to see if it is in spec? Any audible knock at any times? How much boost? Any mods? I have a 91 auto with 16G / 450's / MT ECU and I've only seen 1-2 counts of knock before I caught some boost leaks and other maintenance issues... 191K on it. On hard pulls, I...
