Need help badly.After 26 years owning my ‘98 GST I had an accident yesterday and rear ended in the corner a pickup truck in front of me that slammed on the brakes due to a fire truck entering the intersection with its siren on. We were on a 3 lane road that direction and I and 2 other cars...
The front headlamps are new aftermarket but OEM style replacement headlamp assemblies. Got them on Amazon. The rear tail lights are the OEM ones - I’ve just kept them clean.
Hello all, I can confirm as Gofer said the brake booster can be removed with the intake manifold removed. A bit of a PITA and have to finagle and almost - but not quite - force it past a power steering and A/C hose. Now, I’d be done if RockAuto had not sent me BOTH The wrong brake booster AND...
That's good news. At least I have an EVO3 intake on it which I think is a little easier to remove than the original 2G.Work and maintenance on these cars never ends….
Hello all,Can the brake booster be removed and installed without unbolting engine from the motor mounts (some or all) and slid forward so there is enough clearance to get the booster out?Is an alternative to take off the intake manifold and slide the booster out and over and up where the...
Hi all, posting this in case anyone else has a similar issue. I’m running speed density with ECMLInk using an OmniPower universal 4 Bar MAP sensor.It’s been fine for 5+ years but recently developed what started as a very infrequent and an intermittent issue of the car misfiring and then at...
My TPS was OK, just looking for a decent spare aftermarket one. I found a good one at Autozone for $44 (incl Florida sales tax) which logs perfectly with ECMlink:Duralast TPS328
57 now, will be 58 next month. My first DSM was a ‘91 GST. My current ‘98 GST I bought brand spanking new. I’m probably one of less then a hundred original owner DSMers. Sticking around cause I love the look of the 2G - still has beautiful lines to this day and gets lots of looks and...
Hello all, It appears the OEM Mitsubishi TPS is no longer available. I’ve seen numerous aftermarket brand options ranging from as little as $30 ish to well over $100.Can amyone recommend a decent, and reliable aftermarket alternative to the original OEM TPS?
Hello, I assume by now you resolved your question. But just in case someone else has the same problem/issue, I just installed a new DW300, kit #9-301-0847 yesterday, to replace my old Walbro 255. The O-rings DW300 supplies are way to big to use in our 2G DSM hanger's inlet where the DW300's...
Hi All, my front side marker light on the dirver's side came loose without me realizing it and blew off, taking the marker light itself along with the bulb housing and the pigtail connection to the housing with it. I have a couple of extra side marker lights but can't find ANYWHERE the actual...
Well, I painted the car and re-did the interior a few months back. Just a quick vid from yesterday that I put up on YouTube:‘98 GST - Evo Wicked white repaint. One owner.
Got it, I plan to drain all the oil it came shipped with and refill with fresh PAG oil to the spec. Now the PITA of removing all the old and installing all the new components.
Compressor, condenser, evaporator core and expansion valve, drier, a couple of the lines. All but the compressor I...
Thanks for the quick reply. I found BUYAUTOPARTS on both Amazon and it’s direct website. That P/N MR315815 does in fact seem to correspond with the compressor I need for my car.Just ordered the compressor from them and will let folks know if it too seems to be a DENSO unit etc.
Hello all,On my 1998 Eclipse GST I’m in the process of replacing basically all of my AC components including putting in a new AC compressor. Have not yet pulled the old OEM compressor but from looking at top and bottom of it I don’t see any tag or label on it. I’m the original owner of the...
Just before the recent repaint I replaced the low beam headlight bulbs with Headlight Revolutions’s 9006 S-V.4 LED Bulbs. The high beams I left OEM. These low beams are in the regular housing and their beam pattern and throw absolutely blow away the OEM. They are also more of a cooler white...
Well, I repainted the car a few months ago, new rims as well and also replaced the seat coverings, front and back with Katskinz leathers. Color is once again Evo Wicked White.Also redid the headliner and the carpet. Will post some interior pics soon.
The rims are Borbet 17X7.5 with a 40mm...
Hi all, I know this is an old thread but I am going to be replacing my evaporator and expansion valve soon (along with all the rest of the main AC components - condenser, compressor, receiver/dryer, main lines). A local shop will first evácuate the whole system of refrigerant and oil and...
Hi, The timing belt was changed with a new OEM one about only about 15K miles ago, so its good to go for a while. When my son drives it, it will be on a limited basis, and with a GPS tracking/monitoring device as well as a de-tune with ECMLINK.He's actually growing up so far to be a very...
Soooo....I've been away from the forums for a few years now. Busy with other work/life issues, growing kids, other hobbies and interests (off-roading with SxS, boating, my new F-250 SuperDuty 6.7 and RVing, etc) and I was not driving the GST much either. The Eclipse actually sat covered for...
The vents work great. July and August are the absolute hottest and most humid months here in Miami. Even then, unless I sit prolonged idling AND after having done some hard pulls in the middle of the day (when its like 95 degrees and near 100% humidity), the temps cycle between 186-196, as the...
There is a difference in the part of the hatch which latches onto the body from a 2Ga to a 2Gb. When my friend switched hatches we had to swap those two pieces out to make it close properly. Not sure what the part is techniclally called but its the "open square" section on the hatch side...

My 98 GST has for the last +/- 8 years had a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs with Tokico Illumina Shocks. I have been VERY happy with that set up but the shocks - front and back - are starting to sag some and maybe the springs are wearing also and I'm gonna replace them.I got a GREAT deal...
Any place that has Japanese metric bolts should be able to supply the bolts.I'm going to be taking my OFH out this weekend to port the oil pressure relief hole (I have too high oil pressure after BSE and removal of oil squirters with my forged internals build - like an idiot I forgot to...
Do a boost leak test and listen for leaks at throttle body (TB) shaft seals and/or TB gaskets
If the seals are bad you can replace them yourself - search for how to threads - a bit of a PITA or as an alternative send the TB out for rebuild. I sent mine recently to Steve Monroe at...
After a recent BLT I too had leaking shaft seals. I sent my entire TB to Steve Monroe at Throttlebodys.Com For a very reasonable price he does a complete TB tear down, rebuild, TB seal replacement, gaskets etc. Great communication and very fast turnaround time. For the $$ it was worth...
Yes you can, but the EVO 9 OFH still only has ONE 1/8" port for either a switch or a sender, not both. The EVO8 OFH has NO 1/8" port at all.A cut and paste quote from turbosax2 the OP of the thread you linked above:"The Evo 9 OFH has 3 ports: two 3/8" BSP and one 1/8" BSP. Evo 8...
After searching, this old thread I think is the most appropriate place to post this updated info for use of an EVO III OFH on a 7 bolt 4G63T engine.For my '98 GST, I very recently swapped my OEM OFH for an EVOIII OFH and used an external air cooled oil cooler as well. My OEM housing had...

The "cap" you are referring to is one of the injector seals. You can get an injector seal kit here:FIC | FUEL INJECTOR CLINIC | INJECTOR SEAL KITI am not quite sure if that seal kit will fit other brand injectors or not (I have FIC injecotrs). Do you know what brand injectors you have...
It is the fans. Get two SPAL puller fans and you will likely be fine. See my post dated 3/12/12 at this other thread for specifics:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/428476-cooling-fan-question.htmlOh, and I recently did the simple mod of having both fans turn on (even with...
Nice meeting you the other day. Check your home email - I answered you earlier this afternoon.The stumbling upon acceleration/boost issue might also be your spark plug cables or the spark plugs themselves.Since you have about 120K miles and have no real way of knowing what past...
Especially in the case of DSMs, there is absolutely no doubt at all to go with ECMLINK over an AEM setup.The majority (by far) of modded DSMs use ECMLINK. This is one of its HUGE advantages over AEM becuase you can post logs on the various forums and get help online from other users (free)...
The above is from your post #7 in this thread. There is a correction to the above: On the Dorman pigtail (part #85854) for these Saturn GM CS alternators, the pigtail's black wire is actually the "F" and the brown wire is the "L".
Given you seem to have done all the rest correctly,+3 on bleeding the air that is likely in the system.Start the car cold, let it run with the cap off (A/C off but heater lever to full hot side so the water is flowing through the heater core also). You will likely see at the open...
Don't bother with a pusher setup - there is not enough clearance between the A/C condenser and the radiator for them to fit and pushers are less effective than a pulling system as well. Putting pushers on the outside of the A/C condensor IMO would be innefective at properly cooling the radiator...
That would probably be me.And for the OP, the cutouts make a HUGE difference on keeping the temps dowm. Before the cutouts, even with my pair of SPAL hi flow fans, ceramic coated EM, 02 sensor housing and turbo exhaust housing and with DSMlink running both fans on full hi all the time my...
Take that clip off carefully, dont force or pry it off, grab the closed end with pointed pliers and slide it off. You can easily crack the plastic "seats" where the clip rests in place if not.
Try sprinkling some talcum/baby powder over the back of the panel, all around where any parts join together. Then move and bend it a bit to get the powder between the joints.No this is not a joke, this is a remedy for squeaking wooden floors and it may work on this.
I can vouch for the repair kit - it is awesome and really pretty easy to install. Follow the thread linked in a post earlier above for the how-to on getting the handle off. Also, if you are looking at a junkyard, the handles (and the sunroofs and a number of other parts) from a mid to late...
Yes.If the ISC is bad, either go the cheap route and get another used one from a junkyard, or get a brand new Mitsu ISC that is upgraded over the original ISCs used in our DSMs here:main pageTheir ISCs are about 1/3 the cost of getting them at a Mitsu dealer. The link above is for...
Anyone from Miami driving up to the Broward meet today?If you want to ride up together, meet me at Tropical park in about 30 minutes - at 11:45PM. Sorry for the short notice..
Guys, I did NOT do the SD switch and the tune. A guy named Jose Clavijo up in Orlando did it for me. Jose is a freakin WIZARD with DSMs. I've never met anyone in Miami with even close to his degree of knowledge and expertise on these cars (hence why I took him the car for the original build...
