Pretty sure you have couplers man. Unless the whole intercooler piping system has been welded. If everything is bone stock, then replace all the rubber pieces that connect the intercooler pipes. A crushed BOV could be a sorce of a leak, I had this happen on my car when I first got it, but I...

OK! This was a pain but it wasn't the ECU or the actuall wires either.Basically I pulled the ECU out to the passenger side to make things easier. I then grounded pin 63 from the ecu and finally got the computer to power on and got the check engine light on the dash to light. I started the...

Already put in 2 known good ecu's and tested the original in another car. ECUs all check out and start the other car... So I'm at a loss on this.

So I got constant power again to pin 103. ECU still isn't coming on. I jumped pin 8 on the MPI relay and forced power to pins 102 and 107. Again ECU isn't turning on. What else could this be? Pins 63,56,and 66 have to do with the MPI relay also, thies should always have power when key on...

So my ECU isn't turning on. I check the original MPI relay and found that between pins 10 and 8 there was no continuity. Bench tested it and it wasn't flipping the switch. I have since replaced the MPI relay. Now the ECU isn't getting power. New MPI relay bench tested fine.With the new MPI...

I put down about 350 hp and was using a puralator filter. Couldn't say that I saw any difference from stock. I got mine for cheap too.

I like the little rat balls on the connections, coverning them with heat shrink will be fun! And the wire that are supposed to be connected to neg. going to what looks to be no where are a nice thouch.:ohdamn:You're going to either need to rewire those or get a new set of injector clips. It...

Didn't mention anything about porting the head, figured the OP might be on a budget, and thought of things that could be done while the head was still on the block. No disrespect Fotown, just wanted to clear it up. Either way porting would be a step to take if you plan to build a 420a motor for...

I'd start thinking about power more then looks. Look into head work. Get some PT cruiser lifters and rockers, and a nice set of valve springs. Also while your at it get a mild cam and a howell automotive ecu. All said and done you'll put down a few more hp and with a larger TB and some headers...

Helloooo NY, so I got a white 98 eclipse gs that i'm parting out. Car was hit in the front and only the bumber was messed up. Got a bunch of body parts and some aftermarket parts that all need to go before this beast goes to the junk yard. Make an offer on anything and everything. Sorry but the...

What up john long time no see. I used to have the blue 90' talon awd with the ### flames up front. Sorry I haven't been around but I sold my car. Looking for something else in the neer future if you know of any looking to unload one for a good price. First gen non turbo 4g63 prefered, but i'd...

I bought the castroll full synthetic ATF+4 at advanced, and my trany never shifted better. I got like 4 quarts, but used most of it to run through the trany to get the old junk out. If you go to any auto parts store they can look how much you'll need to fill it. I think it's around 2qts +/- .5...

Look into howell automotive, they have reprogramed ecu's so you don't have to tune. I've read up on here about them and they seem pretty legit. Rev limit increases to around 8k and it increases your timing for some more power. It'll run you around $500 for the ecu, no other upgrades needed. The...

On a side note. If you seafoam your engine, you'll almost always get that white smoke. I do it to my 3g eclipse all the time and I smoke out the entire shop. It's also a good way of finding exaust leaks if you have one.

Agreed. This is something that should be included in the kit but eh. Glad your happy with the kit.

A valve problem wouldn't leave coolant in your oil. Drain the oil and see if you have chunks coming out. Sounds like a head gasket. Check the plugs to see if they're wet, or take a qtip on a stick and put it down the spark plug hole into the cylinder with no compression to check for coolant. An...

Sounds like the clutch. A car can't jump rpm like that and loose power at the same time, unless something is slipping, like your clutch. If it's already bad and you have another car to drive, let it spin for a sec and you'll smell what a burnt cluth smells like. Not a nice smell that's for sure...

If your EvoIII motor is the same as the 7 bolt 2g motor, besides what you've just mentioned, then i'd be worried about crank walk. Swap out that 7 bolt with a 1g 6 bolt, keep your 16g, run 550 injectors, rewire your stock pump, and get an eprom ecu and dsmlink. Link is so easy to work with and...

If your clutch is slipping you'll smell it. What kind of rpms are you at when you hit max boost? Is your car jumping from like 3k to 7k in an instant?

I bought the punishment racing ic and love it. Just a heads up, but the bolts on the stock j-pipe are too short for the thicker flange on the new j-pipe. If your running the gm maft combo, you'll need to trim the upper ic piping to fit the maf. A little jb weld around the edge of the cut piping...

What version of Link are you running, and do you have a log from before your settings got erased? If you do have a log from when you got the car then just open the graph log and right click on the graph. On the menu that comes up (at least in v3 of link), there should be 2 options for "ECU...

I'm down to meet up before middletown on a friday. I usually head out there around 10 or so. Let me know when and where you want to meet. I don't get out of work till 8 or so and it'll take me 30min or so to get out there so take that into consideration.As for the wally world thing, most of...

Nice. I got most of my little things patched up. Unfortunetly I can't race till next year when I can trully afford a trans. The previous owner must have beat'n on 2nd cause my car hates going into gear. I'm working on tuning for some more boost too, but I need a better boost gauge, mine only...

Cool. Let me know when it's on the road and I'd be more then willing to meet up. I'm out on the street now, got mine on the road last thursday. Just working out some kinks now and doing some tuning.

I put the wide band in the other day. It's just hooked to the gauge right now so I can see if I'm running lean or rich. I need to hook it into my ECU some how so I can log my readings on my laptop and dsmlink. I'm just not sure where to connect the 5v signal wire to so I can log.

That I know. That's why I don't hit any WOT with my car. Mostly cruises around my neighborhood with 1 or 2 50% trottle pulls on short strait-aways. I Always watch for knock. That's why I was asking if you knew how to wire in the WB. Let me know, always looking to learn new things and help...

I'm not sure if the mig my friend has at his house is a 220 or one of the smaller ones. He works in a machine shop and has access to a 220 at work though. I just have to pull the exaust down, which is a PITA since it's all one piece the length of the car. lol. I'm a tall guy and fitting under a...

I can have it off in about 30 min. lol. It's just a solid pipe from DP to muffler, so transporting it is a different topic. My 3G doesn't have the room. Stupid small cars. But I'd be willing to pay you if my friend doesn't do it this week. I'll let you know by the end of the week.

Your car looks nice man, sounds good. Hope to have mine out sometime this month if everything goes alright. I could DEFINETLY use your help with tuning. I have the WB I just have to get the bung welded in and get it wired up. I'm right in Newburgh, I have a few things to look into before I can...

Nice, what made you want to make the change? Does any one know someone who know's how to tune? I want to get my 90 on the road but I'm worried about my upgrades with just a base tune from ecmlink. Hope to have mine on the road in 2 weeks, with or with out a street tune. lol

I'm completely new to tuning, and could use some help with learning how to tune with V3. I'm in Newburgh NY, about an hour away from NYC, PA, and NJ. I'm still researching all over the place to get a grasp of what to do, or were to start, but it all seems like jibberish to me. Anyone willing to...

That's it? Swing through Wal-mart on a friday night and I can garuante that you'll see 50 in less then an hour. It's the whole reason I got my 90' gsx, to show the ****talking honda guys what a REAL 4cyl can do.:thumb:

Newburgh here. I'm down for a meet up. I go to middletown on friday nights all the time. Walmart in newburgh an emerging car seen also, I'm there every saturday. It's just mostly honda's right now. Let me know.:talon:

So i got a 1g i'm working on for a weekend driver, and could use some help with installing some parts and getting tuning underway. I should have a whole fuel system upgrade coming in soon, walboro 255 hp, lines, regulator, fuel rail, injectors. Also ecmlink and a wide band. I'm in the newburgh...

The crash beam, sorry. The bumper could use to be trimed a little. The two posts that frame out the foglights could use to be shaved maybe a quarter inch towards the bottom lip, but every car is different. I just left mine, the bumper still went on, its just a really tight fit. Anyone else come...

Any one in the area willing to help with my project? I've got a few more things to do to get my car on the road, but i'm new to the whole DSM world. I could use some help installing a wideband into the computer so I can log it with ecmlink, and help with tuning with ecmlink. PM me if you would...

I purchased a 90' gsx from someone with a LOT of things torn out. Can someone take pics of the relays and fuses that are part of the power window circut? I want to make sure if i'm missing anything in the fuse and relay boxes. I'm almost positive that I am.

Just finished installing my 1g kit from punishment. Took a while to cut the bumper, but everything went in with out too much of a problem. Just a couple of mods to the uic pipping. Love the kit! Well worth the few hundred they wanted. Thanks Tim, for selling a great budget kit, and great...

Are people starting to go to middletown yet, or is it still to cold? I'm down for a dsm car club. Hopefuly my talon awd will be on the road sometime in april. Still installing parts, and soon to be tuning.Also, there's a lot of cars meeting up at walmart in newburgh (saturday nights, and...

Can someone with this kit post a pic of how they mounted the fmic? I didn't get any instructions, and I'm not too sure of how I want to do this. Also anyone who has a 90' awd with this kit, did you have to move your stock oil cooler? I already looped my ps cooler, and took out the A/C fan since...

i don't have the 1.3v of the maft, but i do have the 2.01v of it and it also has, what seems like, the same nobs. i wouldn't mind finding an answer to this either. do they still controll the fuel, or do they really controll timing? (hope i'm not hijacking, sorry):talon:

ok so after doing a LOT more research i found out that you don't need the VSV at all. running the vacume from the FPR to the intake mani is acceptable, and if you want to run a aftermarket boost gauge off of that same line it's also ok.:talon:

I've done some searchs but don't see anything on the Vacume solinoid Valve. The story goes, i just bought a 90' talon tsi awd with some mods already done to it (my profile lists what i know about the mods). I'm currently trying to back track what's done to it. In my quest i read that a after...
