So, I need to completely overhaul my suspension so I need to start saving and piling up the list of parts I want. If you think I've missed something or there is something that could perform better than what I have on the list, let me know.My car is going to be used mainly for street/strip but...

Any F1 fans on here? Who do you cheer for? I'm a big McLaren and Lewis Hamilton fan. :cool:

Figured I should finally put together a little journal of my car so far before I do a complete build this winter.Car: 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSR-4Bought my car August of 2010 for $5200. It had 73,874 kms on it, bought from the original owner in Canada (car was imported from Japan in '09)...

Are American's really that paranoid and afraid when they aren't carrying a concealed weapon? Or is the U.S. just that rude and violent?Nose Hill Park Confrontation Makes Visitors Feel UnsafeNose Hill Gentlemen Kalamazoo Police Officer LetterFor those of you that don't know, the...

My new '94 3000GT VR-4, completely stock.Got the car Wednesday, finally got some photos of it, although not very good ones. I'll get someone who knows what they're doing to take better ones in the next while.

These are my my manuals from my '90 GSR-4, and in particular I've always been curious of what they were saying, epecially where maintainance has been written down. If anyone can translate it for me, I'd be very grateful!p.s. Pictures of the covers are here, site won't let me have them posted...

Can someone photoshop my GSR-4 with Evo VIII wheels in black and silver, and again with the Silvia headlight conversion like the third pic?Thanks!Edit: just added the last pic, its really small but I never realized how blurry that first pic is.

I need some part numbers.I need the plug for the antenna, rear wiper, and rear washer fluid tank filler neck thing, if I can get all of them.Also need the spacer for the front driveshaft bracket when doing a a/c delete.Thanks.

Details: Car is a '90 AWD on a 14b turbo, with no a/c but I want to keep the cruise control. The FMIC is the ETS 7" street kit.Problems:1. The TB elbow that came with the ETS kit goes directly into the cruise control/throttle cables; what have people done to get around this problem...

I've done some searching and I know that you can control the fans on a 2g, but is there a way to make the fans on a 1g come on earlier by using ECMLink?Thanks, Mike.

I am having a lot of difficultly tuning my car on ECMLink V3 using speed density. I have done a lot of reading and research but need some extra help. My idle is pretty decent but the biggest problem is how he is all over the map in AFR when just driving around. It jumps between really lean and...

I hit a coyote the other night with my GSR-4 and he busted my right fog light. :banghead: When I went to replace it with one off my parts car, I find that they are different. The GSR-4 has a different style bulb and connector than the Canadian spec Talons I have.Since I want a new one as my...

Hi, so I have just done a bunch of work on my car and this is a log from initial start-up.Things I did recently: ECMLink V3 full w/ SD bundle (GM IAT is on TB elbow, MAP is off IM) Walbro 255HP re-wired, FIC 1000cc injectors, Aeromotive AFPR Innovative LC-1 wideband with DB gauge '91-94...

Hey, so I can find tons of info about needing the proper seals and blah blah blah, but I cannot for the life of me find a picture or diagram of how the FIC injectors seals actually go on the injectors.These are the seals I have. Now I think the green o-rings go on the top, and the blue...

I have looked and never seen anyone bring this issue up so I ask:I'm doing a mini wire tuck on my '90 GSR-4 and was wondering if I can cut out the wires for the factory O2 sensor. I'll be installing a LC-1 wideband at the same time so I don't feel the need to have the wiring running accross...

Hopefully no one else here has posted this yet but you have to see this. I lol'd!http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/racers-lounge/1426217-there-no-words-describe.html

I'm having some problems with my new throttle body. I have a 1990 GSX and put a 91-94 turbo throttle body on.The Problem: I have a CEL come on when the throttle plate is closed for more than five seconds at a time. It doesn't matter if I'm driving and left off the throttle or idling. The...

I pulled my ECU yesterday for fun and found it is a factory '90 EPROM, :D but I found this burnt area. It looks like something exploded at the top left corner of the square (second picture). Is it repairable?The car was running good minus inconsistent idling speed (not surging, just...

Looking for these items:cut-off switch (100 or 150A) 80A inline fuse 100A circuit breaker two distribution blocks: first one with a single 1/0 input and two 4g outputs. second has a single 1/0 input and four 4g outputsI've been searching lots of sites but can't find what I'm looking for...

All feedback is appreciated.The car is a '90 Eclipse GSR-4 5spd.GOALS: ~400whp daily driver on 91 pump looking to be able to go to the strip a few times a year, also looking for decent handling, but nothing major (someday when I get a 2g, then I'll worry about handling more)From the...

I found a good site for diagrams and spec sheets of various turbos (especially those bad ass holsets) and thought I would share. Enjoy!http://www.melett.com/

This morning everything was fine, until I had my boss drive my car to come get me and now my speedometer is messed up. He didn't notice anything when driving but he had never driven the car before.The speedometer goes up and down linear, but about 1.5 times as much. It'll show 80 when I'm...

I'm going to be swapping the throttle body on my '90 GSR-4 for a 91+' n/t throttle body and use a FAIV bypass plate.Will all I need to rebuild the tb the shaft seals, biss screw, tb gaskets, and isc gasket? Also, I can't find where it shows how to rewire it; can someone give me a link?Thanks.

Hey, I'm looking ideas as in where and how to mount my battery in the trunk. I want to keep it in the back passenger corner, but I want to see how others mounted theirs and if they made a bracket or anything.The catch is it must take up as little space as possible, be NHRA legal, and have all...

I picked this up about three weeks but just finally took some pics today and thought I'd share.It's a '90 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSR-4. AWD, 5spd, cruise, a/c, auto seatbelts. Best part is the 46k miles on the odometer!I'm the second owner in Canada, previous owner brought it over last year...

I hope its okay to post here...I did read a whole bunch of rules...Yesterday I picked up my new car that I bought. A 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSR-4. It has only 74k kms and a 3" Megan turbo-back exhaust, mbc, and boost gauge. :cool: The car ran like a dream all the way home and to work this...

car info: basically stock '90 AWD 5spd with mbc, boost gauge, fuel pump rewrite, and stock open dpproblem: lately my car has been making a real bad popping/backfiring noise only above 4k rpm, even under half throttle or WOT. It was doing this one day, not the next, and then again the day after...

I searched for this but could not find a difinitive answer. The slave cylinder on my '90 AWD is leaking and therefore needs to be replaced, but when I phoned for parts, they said there was two different bore sizes: 3/4" and 13/16". I know that they differ between FWD and AWD, so which bore size...

I was just doing some research on 240SXs because I eventually wasn't to build a 4G63-powered 240 drag car and I came accross a thread about someone wondering if the swap was possible. Anyway, almost all the replies were all throwing down 4gs calling them weak and pathetic and even worse than...

I was installing a cheap boost gauge and trying to wire the backlight. I tried following the vfaq instructions, but it doesn't tell you what wires on the gauge itself you connect to the dimmer switch. Anyways, I tried hooking it up but the switch started smoking. I quickly unhooked the gauge but...

here's the story; The other Friday I was cruising around, running the car real hard and revving high. my car loved it and ran like a dream until Sunday when I started and ever since it was been sputtering/spitting/missing. it happens all through the rpm range and just runs real rough and slower...

Does anyone know how to install the energy suspension bushings for the sub-frame on a '90 AWD? the instructions it comes with are garbage

My radiator fan is still not working. :cry:I have replaced the relay and the fuse. I know the thermo switch is working because the rad and thermo switch came out of my other car that was working fine. I also have checked as much of the wiring I can get at and it all looks fine. I have close...

As the title states, do I have to re-torque my ARP head studs after I have ran the engine?Also, which mark on the timing belt cover represents 5* for the ignition timing? mine looks kinda like this 10 I I I T

question #1. where does the vacuum line come off the fuel pressure regulator (all stock '90 1g) go to? I've seen it been run to the senonoid on the firewall and I've also seen it run to a vacuum port on the intake. which is correct? question #2. how do I run my vacuum lines for the wastegate...

I searched but I could not find an answer so here goes. When removing the vaccum lines, how should I route it from the BCS, wastegate and intake? The taboo diagrams show only if you have a mbc, which I don't.Another question, do I have to keep all the selenoids on the firewall plugged in to...

As the title states, how long does your clutch normally last? Also, which clutch do you have and what approx. HP do you have?I'm just curious how long a clutch normally lasts.

My friend has a '97 Sebring and we are looking at putting a 6G72TT AWD swap in. Two questions.1. Do you know if the rear axle off a 2g GSX/TSi would fit into the car?2. Which axles would we have to use? from a 3000GT/Stealth or a DSM? If the DSM axles, would they hold the 320HP...

Well to start off, this car hadn't run in 7 yrs and I have been trying to get it running. I put a new head on the car and did a lot of other maintanance. What I thought was the last problem in getting it to function properly was that the car was overheating badly. I decided to do a compression...

What would cause there to be no coolant flowing through the lines into the heater core? Also, what is the cap on the line for?

Today when I went to start up my car to recharge my battery (I had been testing stuff and therefore draining the batter) and the alternator belt was squelling like crazy. The part that scared me was how is started smoking and it burnt my finger when I touched it (after I shut the car off of...

I am just finishing taking the bugs out of my '90 AWD Talon that hasn't run in 7 years. The rad fans will not come on and therefore the car is overheating badly. :notgood:Whenever I use a jumper wire accross terminals 2 and 4 of the relay connector, both fans kick in immediately. So I...

The cruise control on my '90 Talon is not working and I have three questions about it.1. Which fuse is the cruise control system work off of? One of the items to check in my Haynes manual was the fuse but there is no fuse labeled "cruise control" or anything.2. I understand the cruise...

I know this topic has been talked about many times but while searching, there were multiple answers and I just wanted to ask what the best plugs are for my 90 AWD Talon

is there a way to release the brakes? I think they're holding me back because I should be able to push the car when its in neutral on flat ground but something feels like its holding it and the car lacks power.

As some of you know, I have just installed a new head and many new gaskets on my '90 Talon AWD. The car is stock, though it is basically straight pipe b/c the exhaust broke in the middle and then I just punched out the cat. Anyways, the car doesn't accelerate like it should, and its almost...

I just installed a new cylinder head and put new gaskets in everything in the top end of the motor, from throttle body to head gasket to exhaust flange. I got the car all back together and it runs and idles fine but when I drove along the road for the first real test drive it didn't accelerate...

I have to replace the gasket between the exhaust manifold and turbo and I also have to replace the bolt stub. does anyone know what size, thread, and type of thread it is exactly so I can get it replaced? also, can any regular nut fit the steering pump nut for the banjo line and not have it...

as the title says, how do you set the base timing on my '90 Talon AWD without using a timing light as I don't have one. I have just finished installing a new head and timing belt and the car turns over good but won't fire. I'm assuming its not firing because I never set the timing, because...

as the title says, I was wondering how a engine that hasn't run in 7 yrs should be driven for the first couple thousand kms. the car sat for 6 1/2 yrs before I got ahold of it and I'm almost done putting a brand new head on and gaskets in the upper end of the engine. it wasn't seized and had oil...
