Hey, everyone that stays in houston and thats working on their car, when complete with their car, we should all meet up. I rarely see eclipses where I live and should ride out weekends. FTW DSM!:D

Nice, have a goal and working to achieve it. Im also building my 1g right now. Keep us updated

I've read alot of build blogs, this is the best one i've read. Beautiful job dude, Im going through the same thing, building hope I can make 375-400hp by spring :pray:

Im debating with myself to either buy a brand new "small "16g turbo or upgrade my turbo with a 16g wheel. Give me your thoughts price and power wise.Also where should I have it sent to and let do the work on it. Thanks

I found a pump on ebay but it doesnt say OEM its from Sealing Tek...never heard of em. I just really want my build to go good and not have my oil pump lock up because its poorly made :/ Ever heard of them or would you even put that in your car

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low pricesThanks everyone!:thumb:

So is the hyundai oil pump better than the ITM oil pump? Also what year hyundai pump should it be to fit my 1g?

Im trying to decide which oil pump to get for my rebuilt engine... ITM oil pump or OEM...Im not rolling but I dont want to have oil pump issues in the future. Give me feedback, Thanks

I need to do a engine swap. Its the same as the old engine, just the new engine has machine work. Everything on it is new, except exhaust and turbo( which I might want to rebuild, but I need to find out where to have that down at in houston) Out of MDR Performance, FWD Performance and F.I.S.T...

I ported my 1g cylinder head and wanted to install 3g lifters, but I have stock retainers and springs. Could I get away with that or I need to upgrade everything else in the head?

6 bolt

Ok, Where would be the cheapest OEM Oil Pump I could find? If you know, im all ears!:D

I am rebuild a motor and I still have my old engine, so should I just yank out the old one and rebuild it or just buy a brand new one?

Yeah, im pretty sure its not horrible and that's something I do not want to do...a second rebuild right after my first one :/ but can someone explain about the balance shaft eliminator because I want to get it and need to know what all I need to buy for it to function right

Nice. almost everything im putting in is OEM. my pistons are .20 over but that's about it. I just want to rebuild and have it running, then ###### sell it and get a GSX. I haven't figured out yet, but for right now im focused on gathering all the parts I need and start building. Building engines...

I would like to save as much money as I can and at the same time, I dont want to mess up my car. I'll do some research. Thanks

Ok, so its better to use a OEM oil pump..alright ill need to buy a need one. How much do those run for?The Balance Shaft Eliminator, is it a kit or a part? if a kit what all does it come with and how much is it?The parts I want to reuse is: Intake manifold, Cam Gears, Exhaust Manifold...

Alright yall, im almost done collecting all the parts I need for my engine build. Machine block, surfaced head, new clutch kit..ect. All I need is Cometic Head Gasket, Timing Belt, and Cams then I will be able to begin. This is my very first DSM engine build and I need as much help as I can...

Ok, Should I get a Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit or not worth it? If I should, are they hard to install and what all should the kit come with. Because im rebuilding my motor already and heard here and there about the kit, just need to know is it worth it for people rebuilding? Thanks

I was about to buy this evo 8 turbo, but I have a 1g eclipse. Anyway could I fit that or do I need to make some modifications?:hmm:

Make sure they are actually going to be doing the entire short block. Most machine shops assembling of short block just include, file fitting and installing the rings, installation of crankshaft, installing the pistons into the block and installation of the balance shaft elim kit. not the front...

Right now, im just getting it back running. Im putting in oversized OEM pistons. I would like to get around 300hp...for nowOh ok. The machine shop is assemble the short block and installing all the gaskets for the block. Since they are doing that, would I still need the full gasket set?

Ok, my block is at the machine shop and when I get it back I want to assemble everything myself, can someone tell me every single thing I will need for my rebuild ( Gaskets, certain type of head gasket, oil pump..ect) Its a 1990 GST 6 bolt engine. Thanks everyone

Mine is doing the same thing, where is the slave cylinder located...my fluid might just be low..

Yeah, u spun a bearing. That's what happen to me, but yours sounds worst than mine. How long has it been like that?

I want to meet up, but spun bearing, so might be awhile until I can drive. But once I do, ill come to all the meets

Thanks for everyones input. I'll machine my block I have now and if I need a new rod and crankshaft, ill get the top of the line. Actually I was looking at Frankenstein rods and piston, you all heard of them? If so, are they good?

I spun a bearing, should I have it machined or replace the block, crank and pistons?

No, it didnt damage the block, I guess I just need new rod bearings...but I also dont know if I can still use my crank or not

Im doing that too, just trying everywhere (forums, online shops, shops in my area..ect)

So I threw a rod last week and need to machine my low end. Does anyone know of a good, affordable machining shop in the houston area, because I wanna save my car not junk it. Also if any is selling a 90-93 gst low end, please let me know.:pray: Thanks yall

Yeah, FIST. I threw a rod on my car, but trying to rebuild the low end at FIST

Whoever had the car before me, wrapped up the connector in electric tape

My car is hard to find where I live

My passenger side headlight is dim because the wiring that connect to the back of the headlight are about to break because of the headlight popping up and going down so many times. What could I do or use to fix my wiring on the connector?

simply, my old pump went out and this is my first time replacing a fuel pump and I don't want to mess it up or containment my fuel tank so please give me step-by-step on how to do so, thanks.

I cleaned both cables and have brand new connection terminal. I checked connection alsoI found this unconnected cable that is joint with the positive cable to the battery...would this be the reason why it's not starting and where does it connect to?

Well ill just try yanking it all out and put in the new engine harness :hmm:

oh ok. Well the wires I have only connect to the engine and since my old harness is joint by the second wiring that controls the headlighs,horn..ect should I just remove it all even though I have only the wires that connect to my engine or just put my new wires on and leave the ones, since it's...

Ohh ok. So if im just replacing the one that goes onto the engine, I don't need to disconnect the one that controls the headlighs, horn..ect because I disconnect all the wires for the engine and didn't know if I need to disconnect the other wires.Also what is the best way to put the new wiring...

Ok, I started disconnecting my engine harness and I wanted to make sure, I only have the engine harness but I don't know if I also need another harness wiring( headlights,turining signal..ect)...if my question makes any sense

Can anyone tell or give me a 1g gst engine harness diagram, please

I checked ECU, I recently changed my spark plugs with bosch ones. I haven't changed my spark plug wires though.

It won't do nothing, no crank or anything. u just hear the fuel pump turning on

I having a hard time starting my car sometimes. I checked starter and battery..both are fine, so I think it's my alternator. Sometimes the only way I can start it either disconnect and reconnect the battery or pop the clutch on a roll..

Well your problem kind of sounds like my problem I have/had. It would misfire would trying to take off and I looked at it and saw my intercooler pipe came loose( big vacuum leak) check for any vacuum leaks. Im having a problem right now, I was driving yesterday and it started making this...

Oh, well I guess I could replace the ISC and flash the ecu or something. Where is the isc located?

I opened and smelled the ECU and it's no burn smell. I also notice it only idles weird after it warms up and I drove it around for like 5 mins :confused:

the ecu is brand new. The dash boost gauge is what im talking about. Some people say I have a huge vaccum leak and some say my TPS is bad, I think it's an air problem but im not for sure

So I was driving and then I downshift before getting on the freeway and got to about 5,000 rpm and went to about 6,500 rpm and shifted and then it started hesitating so I slowed down and then my boost gauge stayed at 12psi even when I slow down and it was misfiring and then started drinking...
