I have to agree with this right here. He could easily argue that in the year that you've owned it that you did these things. Then it will also be brought up that since you bought it used, you were buying it "as is" unless a warrenty was specified on purchase of the engine. But good luck anyway.

That does sound like one of those "to good to be true" situations, but I had one of those situations when I had my turbo 420a dsm, I ended up trading it straight up for a 75 corvette in prestine condition....so these deals are out there.Do you have any pictures of the gst? My question is why...

That tape holds up great. I put 2ga talon side skirts on my car when I had it and only had 5 clips holding on everything. I used 3m tape on the rest of it and it's held up since I did it. (I seen the car on craigslist a few weeks ago and they were still on there.)

I bought a few things off of them when I had my car, no issues with them.

It most likely is. Most people buying that wheel aren't looking at weight as the major factor.

Looks like a set of diamond racing dirt track wheels to me.www.diamondracingwheels.com : Stock Car SeriesI know those aren't the exact same, but the ones I linked look very similar and are 5 lug with the possibility of a FWD offset.*edit* beat me to it.Here is a company that makes a 17"...

When I turbo'd my rs, I used the majority of my stock downpipe and added a 90* to it at the flange. There was a little more modification but yes it works.

No way in hell I would pay anywhere close to 1k for an engine in that state. Sounds like it wasn't taken care of or maintained properly which could lead to more headaches than anything. Only way I would be remotely interested is if I pulled the pan and head to check out the piston and rod combo...

I got the same light after unhooking my factory steering wheel, airbag and srs clockwork assembly. There is an adapter that has a plug on it to eliminate the light, but I don't remember where I found it. The light never bothered me enough to fix it.Edit* Found some good information on how to...

If you can figure out the thread size then you should be able to pick up a new nipple fitting from a local hardware store.

to run 16 psi? you'll need a forged piston/rod combo. As far as cams, do you need them? no. They will just help you get more out of your setup.For tuning I recommended megasquirt because it is the most widely used( and cheapest I've seen) solution that can be used as a piggyback system or...

Coming from experience, I would recommend a forged setup with megasquirt for tuning. Yes it is more costly, but you will be happy you chose it in the long run especially when the boost bug kicks in.I did a typical 8lb build on stock internals and ended up cracking a ringland, and basically...

I ran an ebay cast T3 log manifold on my RS and had no issues with it, so you'll be fine with one. It had an external wastegate, but you could always make a block off plate if you want to run an internally gated turbo.

I had a set of air cylinders for an eclipse once, I never used them but they were very strong and wouldn't puncture like air bags could. I don't remember the brand though as I got them used.

I'm in, I have some spare 420a parts laying around I can toss in. If not the junk yard has it. For dirt cheap.

Kei, there is a junkyard near me with 6 1g's, more lasers and talons, but one eclipse and most of them are non turbo cars but if there is anything I can pull and help out send me a pm. The cars are basically untouched, I am the only person who pulls dsm parts there.Now that I think of it...

When I had my dsm, my ptp turbo blanket was one of my best purchases. I still have it laying around.Personally, id either buy a new dash pad for the corvette.....or maybe some polished alum. Finned edelbrock valve covers.

The stroker block seems like an alright deal as long as there is no damage to the cylinder wall from the piston problem they had.Other than that, a stock rebuild would be great for your goal as others have recommended.

Voted. Good luck

I traded my 95' rs-t for a 75' Corvette and never thought twice about it. I'll get another Dsm, but it will be a 1g awd.

Make sure you do plenty of research in the 420a turbo conversion section before you go this route. For my "basic"(8 psi ) build I spent nearly 2k after all was said and done. If you choose to do this on the stock block like I did, make sure you have a good base to start from and a way to monitor...

I bet it was aircraft stripper from a rattle can. They sell that stuff at autozone now, I seen it when I was buying some trim paint earlier.

Link.I had a cf hood on my old eclipse before I got rid of it, the car sat outside and hail cracked it. Yes the weight savings was nice, but it was a hastle to deal with imo.

For your turbo, id grab a turbonetics T3 super 60 with the .48 a/r housing. Its what I had on my 95 when I had it. It had great spool time compared to the other turbos I had (57 and 50 trim t04e). While you're rebuilding, do yourself a favor and build the block for boost....speaking from...

Personally, I would wait to get the manifold you actually want rather than buy two manifolds just so you can run the turbo now. Unless your old turbo needs replaced, I would wait and get the manifold you want, and use the money you save on something else.

Have you checked for shaft play?

The majority of the people on this site are performace oriented, so anything that draws extra unwanted attention (body kits, neons, ect.) Are usually looked down on. It all depends on what you do, personally I don't mind body kits, custom paint, neons...ect if they are done correctly.

I was 11. ROFL

Sounds like a fuel pump problem, or a dirty fuel filter to me.I had a problem like this with my fuel pump once in a firebird I had. My solution for this problem was whenever this were to happen, id get out of the car and kick the gas tank or beat on it a bit and go try to start it and it...

Easy there R Kelly....

Very good info, but if I remember correctly to do this swap it requires swapping bellhousings on the transmission and since the neons use a cable style clutch setup rather than a hydraulic clutch that an eclipse uses. Read the link for all of the details.

I did some searching and found this. I think this is what you're looking for. Save at RV Partscenter - RV Parts and SupplyThe only other things I found were a 6psi, 15 psi, and a subaru part that operates from 2-7 psi. I can link those if you'd like.Subaru 2-7 psi ...

I found this information from Mark in another thread reguarding his mustang throttle body.

Jeep throttle bodies can come off of a 90's jeep with a 4.0L engine. I got mine off of an early cherokee at a junk yard for 30 bucks and modified it as per the write up.Iirc the mustang throttle body is not a direct bolt on application, I think you need ms to run that throttle body.

I had a 60mm jeeb throttle body on my turbo 420a, and it really made a difference. Just make sure you port your IM. If you don't you won't gain anything.

A good condition stock fuel pressure regulator works fine with the walbro, if yours is over run by it you will need a new one. Iirc, its 93 bucks for the part at autozone and other competitors.

As promised, here's a picture for now,, I'll have to take one with my digital camera to make it any larger. It really needs waxed, but that will give me something to do in the morning. Here she is.

Well guys, its time to add me to the list. Car just left the house after being traded off for a 75' corvette. Sad watching her drive away but it was a great deal for me. Straight trade, and the car is in great shape with 107k on it. Ill be back though, with a gsx/tsi awd, just couldn't pass on...

Stock internals here, running 7 psi for 6k miles. Now running a Turbonetics T3 super 60, fpr isn't holding my walbro so I'm on stock furl pump want watching my wideband like a hawk. planning on swapping in a built block though. For now, everythings running fine.

In addition to scott's post, you need to develop a goal first. This way you are not buying parts twice, or buying parts that you don't need. After you find your goal research what you need to obtain it, and go from there.

NO. I'm using a stock pump now, rewired because my walbro is causing over run and it is good for 3 psi according to my wideband, and even there it is running slightly lean.I have a 1995 gs.... so i dont need a fuel return line correct, because you guys are confusing me ROFL????95's have a...

Coming from a guy with a turbo 420a, I wouldn't buy one that's already done by someone else. There could be some big problems with that, because you don't know what's all been done to it and that can cause problems later on. The overheating issue would make me nervous, could be something small...

To run any more than 8 psi, you need to build the block and have a way to tune (like megasquirt)

The fuel system changed during the 96 model year, so depending on your build date you some people may have the "early" fuel system. :thumb:

If you're just talking about the turbo only, yes it can work if you can find a manifold to fit it. If you're talking about a motor swap, no. The motor won't fit without heavy modification and is generally termed as unswappable.

This is for adding an afpr into the sysytem. It involves modifying a stock regulator and disabling it then adding the afpr in as a new regulator. It isn't necessary for a basic build, as a stock regulator in good working condition will not be overrun by a 255hp pump.There is a good write up on...

I'd be happy to get it for 3.69, here its 3.71 for the cheap stuff.

Should have played the lottery too, sounds like a lucky day.

Okay, here is what you need.....I've seen a bit of misinformation so I'm going to clear it up a little. Some sort of turbo manifold Intercooler, piping, couples, and clamps Blow off valve A turbo to fit your manifold Wastegate to fit manifold (or in some cases, an internally gated turbo) A...

I get tired of all of the ignorant honda owners around here thinking their cars are hot shit. There is only one honda around here that is even respectable, and that's the one guy who isn't a complete asshat. Other than that, and being constantly being asked to race or being reved at are the only...
