Hey All!Finally got the Eclipse started after a full engine rebuilt. Has Wiseco 10.5 compression pistons. So, when I first got it fired up, I had a really rough idle. I tried to just keep it running to see if it would smooth out, and it didn't. I noticed that after running for a bit, the...

Hi!Just about about to wrap up an engine install but I cant for the life of me find where these lines/plugs go. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

I have been searching for a couple days, and haven't been able to find the answer. I am putting the clutch/trans back on the motor and I have:A small ring for that matches the bolt pattern of the crank and ring gear. This ring has a lip...and based on that lip, if it sits on the crank, the...

So,I have replaced the throttle cable on my 96 Gs. However, the end of the cable that connects to the gas pedal is giving me some trouble. There is the ball, a rubber bushing, and the green plastic piece that sits in the gas pedal. The problem is that I cant get the ball and the rubber part...

Good afternoon. Just trying to finish up my engine build, and its my first time doing timing. I have Fidanza adjustable gears, and they have 2 sets of timing marks. Per Fidanza, one set is for the Evo, and the other is for the 420a Eclipse. They couldnt give me a straight answer however as...

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong spot. Did something happen to the 2gnt website? Seems to have been down for about a week. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues getting on.

Hey Everyone, Finally had time to pull my motor this week. Took about 2.5 hours, which I think is AWESOME for a first timer. Suprisingly straight forward. Anyway, I am trying to do my build right, and I want to take advantage of having the engine out to replace stuff that would normally be...

Hi, I have a 96 GS that I have been working on here and there for about a year. I finally got it running but it is exhibiting some white smoke from the exhaust on occasion. Sometimes it does it when I first accelerate, and sometimes when I decelerate, but never 100% of the time.I decided to...

Hey all.My project 96 continues. So, I was up under the dash removing some wiring and happened to notice this little beauty. Clearly I don't think the factory sent out their gas pedal assemblies with wire wrapped around the top of the gas pedal assembly, then looped through a large washer...

Hey all,I have been reading about nitrous applications and a lot of what I can find seems to be turbo related. I wonder if I can get some definitive clarification on some nitrous questions I have.First, The motor will be built(top end and bottom end)(this will stay a non turbo...

Hey,Tell me what you think of these spark plugs. Quite a bit of white smoke coming from exhaust. Once I drove it for about 10ish minutes, the smoke wasn't bad while driving, but would come back a little bit at a stop. I am planning to have the motor rebuilt regardless, but can someone...

Hello everyone!Feels good to be back. Been a long 6yrs since I was actively on the site. Had been semi searching for an Eclipse/Talon on and off for a couple of years. Finally came across a deal I couldn't pass up.Picked up a 1996 Eclipse GS 5 Speed with 106,000 on the clock for...

Okay,I took my car in because it was shaking and vibrating and the tech told me my right front caliper was locked onto the disc. I have been driving this thing for a while like this apparently. It only ever seemed to shake and vibrate at speeds above 40mph. I wouldnt have destroyed...

As some of you may know, I recently purchased a 95 talon with no engine, transmission, transfer case, ecu, etc. As I prepare to start purchasing the missing parts, I began to wonder if the route I was taking was the proper one. Can I mix an engine from a 98, transfer case from a 97...

Okay,Here is the rundown. I picked up this entire car for $218. It still has the full leather interior with all power options. It only has 89k on the body. The Motor, Transmission, and Transfer case are missing. This is the first time I have taken on a project of this nature.I am...

I have been contemplating purchasing a cheap block and slowly building it so I dont have to take the engine out of my daily driver. This way, I can build at my own pace and yet still have a car to drive.Anyway, Here is the link...

The eclipse that shows in my profile was a car that I actually owned quite a while ago. All the mods listed, I did. I sold this car to my Brother-in-law about 2 years ago. I recently got the car back from him(he fell on hard times and I took the payment over) and have found many issues with...

I could have sworn I read somewhere that if you have aftermarket cams you NEED aftermarket cam gears to make them work properly. Is there any merit to this? I cant find where I read the info.

Is there any PHYSICAL difference between the 95 2ga eclipse bumper and the 95 2ga Talon bumper?

Ok, I have had a few DSM's in the past but this is my first Turbo version. I am not planning on going crazy looking for insane power. What I am looking at doing is:Cat-Back Injen Intake HRC SMIC IC Hard Pipes(Upper and lower) And a big T-28What I am curious to know, is if I need to...

First of all I just want to say I am glad to be back. It has been a LONG time since I have posted on here. I have previously owned a 97 Eclipse GS and a 98 Talon Esi. I am preparring to buy a 95 Talon TSI AWD, and just want to see if I should hold out or go ahead. I am no noob when it comes...

I have a couple of questions. 1st, with 310cc injectors, what would the max boost be that would be safe to run? 2nd, I have heard and read that with the vortech sfmu, you should stick with the 12:1 disk. I am assuming that would be with stock injectors. Would it be necessary to change the...

I saw this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6352&item=2470094537. It claims to have roughly 170 WHP:rolleyes: . Also claimed a 15.2 in the 1/4 mile. All this with onlyHeader P&P Intake mani Short Ram Cam Gears Valve Job Crane Cams S-AFC...

When i turn on my heater, you get an instant smell of pancakes or syrup. Any suggestions on what this could be and how to fix it?

I was thinking the other day about how to reduce underhood temps. Obviously when you throw a turbo on your car, the underhood temps go up. Well an idea came to me. For the 2g 420a powered eclipses. What i was thinking was that you know when you take the stock air box off, it leaves a hole...

I just purchased a star stage 2:D :D :D and i have a couple of questions. 1st. I will be taking my eclipse for a small road trip around june. It will be around 800-1000 miles which will be covered in around 3 days. Will there be any issued with a 420a motor boosted for that much strait...

Ok. First question. Does adding Cams, Cam gears, Valves, Springs and retainers, rockers and lifters require pulling the head and replacing the head gasket. And 2nd. I am looking for an ignition amplifier. I am kinda confused about the descriptions on some of the ones I have seen with two...

As my profile says, I drive a 97 N/T. At one of the local dealerships near my town, they have a 95 Talon Tsi FWD for sale. It is white with the black top, is fully loaded except for leather, manual trans, and has 71000 miles. They are asking $4995. Good Deal??? I thought about trading my...

I was curious how the NX nitrous is activated? I know you have to activate the system(and open the bottle valve), but I mean after that? Is it a push button(like f&f)or is there something mounted on the throttle position sensor that automaticaly engages it when you hit wot?

I was just wondering if getting a valve job done create more power. I was reading the description on the fasterthanyou.com 420a ricekiller/domestic killer head and it says they do a continuous radius valve job("We do a continuous radius valve job. What's that mean? It means there are no...

I have a serious question about advanced timing and nitrous. I am currently running:AEM CAI OBX HEADER OBX 2.5" EXHAUSTI will be adding: Crane #12 cams AF/X UDP AF/X ECU MP 60MM TB And NX WET NITROUS KITMy question is, is with the AF/X Ecu, which advances timing, I was...

I was wondering which is weaker. The 2gnt rods or the 2gnt pistons? What I mean is which is able to take more punishment than the other? Or are they the same?

I was wondering if anyone knows how many pounds of boost a Honda Civic can run on stock internals?? There is a Civic in my town that I want to race that is running a T-25 turbo kit. Not sure if its home made or what, but i was curious to know what is possible so he doesnt try and give me some...

I was wondering if it is possible to put a built head on a stock block. Specifically, I am curious about the rpmextreme head. Is it possible to put that head on my stock block?? Any help is appreciated.:thumb:

I am planning on going hahn stage 2. I am also wanting to do a rebuild in the process. My questions is, is it necessary to replace the pistons an the rods, or will I be okay with just replacing the rods?

Has anyone heard on ANSA?? I could have sworn that they are a division of pacesetter?? If anyone has heard of them, let me know what you thought!

I have a 97 n/a and was looking into the crower stage 1 camshafts. My question goes to all who have to pass emissions like me (utah). Being that it says in the description on crowers website that they are for daily driven applications, would they be emissions legal?? Would stage 2 still allow...

I have a 97 Gs, and i purchased a turbo spoiler to replace the factory low spoiler that came on gs's. I went to a body shop to find out how much it would cost to fill in the hole(where the middle part is screwed into the hatch) and repaint it. The gave me an estimate of $325 for all labor and...

Alright, i know this has probably been asked before, but i will ask anyway. I have decided to stick with it, and continue the qwest for all motor. My current mods areAem CAI OBX Cat-Back OBX Ceramic Coated headerI would like to add the following:AF/X UDP AF/x 56mm TB P&P Intake...

I am thinking about running Skunk2 coilovers with kyb Gr2 shocks with about a 1.5-2.0 inch drop. If i do this, would i need camber correction?? if so, any advice as to which camber kit to buy and where!!

I was looking into getting the howell automotive af/x ecu for my 97 gs, However, in reading some stuff about it, most people say that it just advances timing and because of that you have to use 93+ octance gas. Well, since i live in Utah, the highest octance they sell is 91. Will using 91...

My whole car shakes when i turn it off ?? Also, my exhaust system rattles against the bottom of my car when I decelerate:mad: . Anyone know why my car shakes?? And anyone with suggestions on how to stop the rattling would be appreciated!!

My Low Fuel Warning light doest turn on when my gas tank is empty, and I have yet to see any lights other than me E-brake light and srs light. Without any other lights turning on it makes me wonder if my cel light is on but not showing. What do you guys think??

I have been looking into an s-afc because i have heard that they add some good power when tuned right. However, i have also read that they only add power when your already making tons of hp and have upgraded alot of your fuel system i.e. injectors, pump etc. My question is, is that would it be...

I am going to be doing quite a few things to my car over the next couple of months and wanted to get some input on what kind of HP numbers i should be able to put down AT THE WHEELS. Also if anyone has any other suggestions on what i should do, I would love to hear it!!Thus Far I have...
