Hey all - I am planning out some power upgrades for my car and am wanting to go with as OEM of a look as I can in the engine bay. I am doing a basic 16g setup on E85 and would like to avoid running an AFPR if possible for a more OEM+ appearance. Is an AFPR needed to resolve the overrun that...

Hello,I am selling an ST suspension sway bar kit that includes front and rear sway bars with bushings. This sway bar kit will fit fwd and awd cars, however, awd will require a stock routed exhaust. The kit is brand new never installed. Here is a link to this exact kit...

I have a virtually new set of planted seat brackets from my 2g eclipse. The seats I have won’t work on these brackets due to a very thick lower cushion. I installed these and then will be removing them this weekend and will be able to get pictures of them. However, they are brand new, with only...

Okay like the title states I did a fuel pump swap and my fuel gauge does not work at all now, it sits at the absolute bottom. I grounded the pin on the drivers side sender connector and the gauge went to full. Then I grounded the pin on the passenger side that is yellow and black and the gauge...

Hey guys and gals! A little bit about me... This is my 4th dsm, and I plan on making my dream dsm like I have always wanted. I will be on a budget as I am in college and don't have all the money in the world to spend on the car like I wish i did.Now onto the car. The shell itself is very...

Hey guys, I am having an issue with my new Innovate MTX-L wideband kit. I wired it in the same way that many of the how to's show. Also used the ecmtuning mtxl install guide. The gauge will power up, but it won't calibrate.I am following the instructions of turning it on for at least 30...

The title pretty much states it all. I have the engine out and I'm freshening up the motor and replacing gaskets and I was wondering if anybody has left the front balance shaft in the motor to block the bearings by itself, and then install the stubby shaft on the oil pump?I saw something...

I have wanted to start one of these for a while now. I figure since I'm doing my first "build", that it would be a good time to make a build journal. Let me start off by telling a little bit of my dsm history. I have had a 98 TSI AWD and a 97 GST. Both cars I owned while I was in high school and...

Hey guys, I have an electric oil pressure gauge installed and I have pretty high oil pressure. Once the car is fully warmed up, it reads around 80 psi crusing at 3k rpm's and idle is around 13 psi. I currently have the gauge tapped into the port on the oil filter housing that is pointing...

Like the title states, I am wondering if anybody has tried out the new megan racing 2 piece slip fit downpipe for the 2g gsx. I am interested in it because my current DP needs an extention piece to bolt up to the catback and the piece I got fabbed up just doesn't fit very well and I'd like to...

Like the title states, my shifter feels like its binding when I shift into 2nd gear, and possibly a little bit going into 4th. I have cable end bushings, swapped them with bearings and saw no change. I have a megan short throw shifter and swapped in the stock shifter and saw no change. In all...

I've been having an issue where second gear just isn't very easy to shift into when I go to the drag strip ever since I installed brass cable bushings and a megan racing short shifter. It doesn't grind in any gears and shifts through all the gears smoothly, but second gear feels like it is going...

Hey guys, my car on the highway will overheat a little bit when its hot out. In town the temp is fine. It has a punishment fmic kit with the front bumper trimmed. I can't come up with a solid culprit from my searches besides possibly some ducting. Any other ideas?

Hey guys, after selling my 97 gst last fall, I had a couple different cars that made me realize I need to get back into the dsm game. I came across a car on the classifieds on here/ craigslist that looked like the perfect car, but then I saw the pictures of the strut towers. They both look like...

Well after a LONG 2 years with my 97 gst, I figured it was time to go, so I sold it. I have been trying to find something more reliable and newer but came across this 99 gsx shell. Missing engine and trans but I would make it a 5 speed. Let me know what you guys think! 99 eclipse gsx shell

I am having an issue with my front driver-side brake sticking. When I roll to a stop, I feel the car stop and 4 times out of 5 I will feel the car stop as if the brakes were engaged a little. When I get out of my car after a drive the hub area on my wheel is hot compared to the other wheels. I...

Well I have noticed my car is lacking power, a lot. So I did a compression test and my results where: DRY- 100,100,100,90/WET-125,125,115,100. Yes the car was fully warmed up. I have noticed that my coolant is getting a little bit of oil in it and I am loosing coolant but not leaking it. I have...

Hey guys, i've been searching all morning and haven't come across something like this. It seems like my power steering pulley is not aligned correctly and I am not sure how I would go about doing that. It almost looks as if the whole bracket and pump is crooked. The belt does not want to sit...

I installed a small 16g on my 97 gst and I am having boost creep issues. I had a 14b on it and ran 13 psi with some spiking up to about 18 psi. Mods are in profile besides the turbo now being the small 16g. Last night I took the car to the track and could hardly even go half throttle and above...

Hey guys, last night I got into my car and turned the headlights on to find that my drivers side low and high beams won't turn on. The passenger side works as it should. The bulbs are near new. I checked the plug for the headlight harness and it looks fine. I checked the fuse and relay even...

Hey guys, I am upgrading to an evo 9 fuel pump and I was looking at the job I will be doing and I noticed that the line going from the top of the fuel pump assembly to another line under the car, was previously cut, and had a metal pipe slid inside the lines, and clamped down. I would like to...

Hey guys, after searching on the site for a few days I have not really found an answer to my question. Is it worth buying a punishment racing front mount intercooler kit for my 97 gst? My current mods are in profile. I will also be upgrading the fuel pump to either an evo 8/9 pump or a walbro...

Hey guys I have been having an on going idle issue and while messing around with the mas plug tonight I might have came across something. Without me touching the plug for the mas it would idle at like 14 in hg and rough, when I would push downward on the plug (towards the ground downward), the...

Hey guys, I just got my car driving and running again from a head gasket and timing belt job and while driving it runs good. Most of the time it idles at a good rpm, rough most of the time. Sometimes it will dip down to 500 and surge +or - 100 rpm. Tonight when coming to a stop it died 2 times...

Hey guys, I just put my car back together and it will not start. I refreshed the head with some new valve seals and did the head gasket and timing belt job with a local DSM wiz. We turned the crank 6 times when we were done with the timing and all the marks lined up so I know thats right and the...

Hey guys I am having a power issue. I went to start up the car and the battery had enough power to turn on the dash lights and make the starter click once. The battery is maybe 6 months old and I can't get it with a jump start and it has been on the battery charger for 4 hours and still can't...

Hey guys, I have all the parts I need and am ready to start cleaning the block surface for the head gasket install. I am going with the oem composite gasket and arp studs. I have read that most people use brake cleaner/gasket remover with a razor blade. My biggest concern is keeping the gunk out...

Hey guys I'm doing some matinence work during the winter and I was thinking of replacing all the vacuum lines but came across the taboo vacuum delete image and am definatly considering doing it to reduce chance of boost leaks and head aches. My question is, with all the emissions equipment that...

So on my 97 gst I thought I had a 1g head but ended up being a 2g head with the intake manifold from a 1g on it. My question is that I pulled the valve cover and right underneath the middle of the exhaust cam I noticed that there is a hole leading to what looks to be the block and I saw what...

Hey guys, I plan on replacing all the timing components and the head gasket and studs this winter. The main reason I am doing this is that i'm getting a decent amount of oil in my coolant and loosing coolant so I am thinking head gasket and the fact that it's maitenance that could probobly only...

Hey guys I haven't really found anything about how to identify the year of my block. I am looking to find out because I know it has a 1g head and intake manifold on it and I want to know if I have a 2g block or not. I know its a 7 bolt because when I did my clutch the flywheel was held on with 7...

Well I have been trying to figure this idle problem down for a long time. When I first start the car and let it warm up for a while it will settle at about 1k rpms. After driving for a short period it will always go up to about 1.7k and sometimes surge up to 1.7k. I have replaced the throttle...

Well lately when driving around and getting on the onramp when I like to get on it a little in 2nd and 3rd gear it seems like the car is lacking power. My mods are as follows: HKS ssqv, apexi n1 downpipe and catback, hard lower piping for my 14b to smic. It also has a complete motor from a 1g(7...

Ok so I am having a wierd issue where when I turn on my blinker or step on the brakes sometimes my radio will turn off and back on. I really don't know much about electric work but I'm guessing a bad connection or fuse? Any help would be cool because it's very annoying.

Well I was changing the oil cooler out on my car and noticed that the wires for the stock oil pressure gauge and the dummy light sender were cut. I also noticed that near the alternator there was a harness that had 2 cut wires and I'm guessing thats where they came from but the wires seemed...

I searched last night and this morning and I am wondering if anybody can quickly tell me the size of hosing I should get for cutting out the ribbed section on my oil return line because it is leaking. I am working on it tonight(a saturday) and I don't think many stores will be open when I am...

Well I am in a bit of a pickle here. I am going to get dejon smic pipes soon and I have found an article for the punishment uicp where he had the 1g head and intake manifold just like I do and it was causing the "S" pipe to hit the thermostat housing area and he had to dent it to get it to fit...

Well after searching and searching about an ebay intercooler pipe kit I came across one post where a guy had a problem with his punishment uicp hitting the thermostat housing. It hit because of having a 1g intake manifold which I have on my car. I am basically wondering if anybody can confirm...

Well I have the oppourtunity of getting a tubular o2 housing in great shape for 50 bucks and I am wondering if I will gain anything by buying it. Current mods are 14b turbo, apexi n1 turbo-back, and HKS bov. I can't seem to find any posts on the topic of weather they are really worth getting.

Well I am at a point where I will soon be getting another car for the winter and the eclipse will be sitting. I am starting to think of possibly getting rid of the eclipse for something awd. I am just not really sure if I could get anything even close to what I would want to sell it for. The...

I can NOT find my answer any where for where to mount the 2g injector transistor pack on my car. It is a 97 with a 1g 7 bolt motor including the intake manifold. Right now it is just sitting there and it is in the way and looks like crap. I have searched for hours on this and can't find an...

Well i just noticed that once it started to get cold out in Wisconsin that I have been hearing a very feint squeak/squeal(similar to like a pully that is very slightly squeaking when it is spinning) coming from my car. When I push the clutch in it goes away. I'm guessing my throw out bearing...

Well after finding a big crack right smack dab on the top on my exhaust manifold and noticed slower spool up time, I have decided its time to buy a new exhaust manifold. The car is pretty stock with the exception of hks bov, apexi n1 turboback exhaust, and a 14b. My spool is slowed up to almost...

So I was under my dash and looked up and saw a plug not plugged in, grabbed for it. Sparks flew from a wire that wasn't hooked to anything. Checked it out and the wire mass went up towards the steering wheel. Circled in red is the plug, it looks like a 3 prong type plug. Circled in blue is the...

I have been noticing a little bit of oil in my coolant lately. When I take off my radiator cap there is some oil on the seal and in the outlet pipe the cap comes off of. After doing some research I have narrowed it down to the oil cooler and the turbo. The reason I don't suspect the head gasket...

I'm in the market for a LICP for my 14b because what I have now is VERY restrictive and not allowing me to turn the boost up. I found this on ebay.. 90-99 1G 2G DSM ECLIPSE TURBO UPGRADE J PIPE 14B 16G 95: eBay Motors (item 110533717064 end time Aug-13-10 12:37:42 PDT) .. and I'm wondering first...
