Given equal weight distribution, the TT fronts and rears would work together well in concert. Being a FWD, though, I would venture to guess that the weight distribution is too much different, and that the car would be out of braking proportion.You don't want your rears to lock up before...
Didn't your car wind up for sale on cars.com in a highly unfinished state? The link is no longer valid, but it was here:http://www.cars.com/search/used/cc/standard/results/single/ld/detail.jhtml?paId=142071972&aff=recycler&src=&cid=And said the following: "1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST RS...
It also sounds to me like it might be the torque converter. Did you use a different converter when you put in the new transmission? Or did you use the old one? What the TransDude was saying is that the SnapOn code readers give a false TCM communication MIL code, even if the TCU is functioning...
Actually, the average of a series of track times are a good indicator. It wasn't like I was dumb enough to run one night, install the pulley, and run again. This is the culmanation of about a year before installing the pulley, and several months afterwards. The average gain that I saw was .15...
Not true. The belt moves at a slower speed with the underdrive pulley then it does with a stock pulley. The only time that belts skip off is if the pulley is not all of the way onto the crank. Just crank it down to 105 lb/ft, and the belts should stay right where you put them. There is a...
I recommend Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner. Get two cans and follow the directions here:

Well, I have a couple of preferences for "headers."The first one, for naturally aspirated performance, is made by Dodge. Look under that heatsheild in your engine. Yup, that's it. That's what I would stick with, speaking strictly in dollar/HP value. A header is a lot of money for very little...
I think that 10HP is a fair estimation.
Meant about .15 seconds for me in the quarter. That winds up being 10-15HP.As for the AC, it doesn't blow 30% slower, the compressor spins 30% slower. The fan maintains it's regular speed.If you were driving at 3300RPM with an underdrive pulley...
Doubling the power of a fairly (sorry) ineffecient large pushrod V8 with a rediculously mild cam is not as tough as it is to double the power output of a fairly well tuned small displacement motor with an advanced valvetrain and a high VE from the factory. It is easy enough to make a large...
Well, that wasn't my car, fortunately, but I have seen a bunch of bad failures from this clutch. One of the more perplexing ones was with a friend of mine from 2GNT. The clutch disc broke and kicked a spring out, taking out the bellhousing, destroying the transmission.
So I don't use, trust...
The problem is that a 2.0 that is making decent power just isn't streetable, without valve timing control or lift control. A VTEC motor would not be able to idle very well, and certainly not at 800RPM, if it had a cam that matched the upper lobes. The volumetric effeciency of a naturally...
Heh... I am swapping the spring loaded timing belt tensioner out and using a solid tensioner from Blackdog motorsports. That's the latest (won't call it the last) holdup. There are 2 bolts that hold the tensioner through the oil pump and into the block. The 2GNT bolts aren't long enough, as the...
Actually, if the stock horsepower is 140, 10.5 will net you 5.04 horsepower, for a grand total of 145.04. Each compression point is worth 4% more horsepower. With 12.5:1, 156HP can be expected, given the same volumetric effeciency.
There is a reason that it is said that "boost is more...
