So basically as the title states I had my first major tear down during the last past summer due to my head gasket going. At that point I went ahead, and took care of all the 60k maintenance from the timing belt to water pump, etc. Just thought I'd post up a couple pics, and get your guys opinion...

Okay so I've been having a problem with starting my car for the last couple weeks to a month.It started out of no where one morning before I went to work. I came out to leave, and my car was dead. Of course, it was running perfectly the day before, and never had any issues with starting. I...

Okay so last week sometime I had a coolant leak coming out of my turbo coolant lines. It seemed as if the heat + vibrations caused my hose clamp to loosen up a bit and I was dripping coolant out. Well I tightened it up and topped off with a bit of water. Didn't seem like a lot so I didnt think...

Okay, So I have a 1996 Eclipse GSX w/ the Evo 8 ECU swap. I just have a quick question regarding setting up an Innovate MTX-L wideband sensor. It has to deal with the yellow, and brown wires. I want to link the MTX-L wideband to EvoScan so the AFR readings will show in my logs. I will be having...

Okay So I am doing the Evo 8 ECU swap in my 2G 96 Eclipse. Pin swaps went fairly easy after I got the hang of removing them. I plugged in my Tactrix 2.0 cable, and reflash adapter.I started up EcuFlash, and went to read the ROM -failed. Then I attempted to flash over a ROM, and received...

So, I've been looking into doing the Evo 8 ECU swap in my '96 GSX, but can't seem to find any information regarding if it works on auto's. All the write up's I've seen seem to be for various 2G manuals. I was wondering if it was possible to swap in an auto, and if anyone has a pin diagram for...

So, finally after about 3 months of waiting, I finished my head gasket, 60k maintenance, and Timing Belt job (All new OEM timing components). *Also did a vacuum delete (kept ALL solenoids plugged in* and kept FPS vacuum line) [Re-routed my Boost Gauge Vacuum to the "P" port on the Throttle...

1996 Eclipse GSX (Auto) *Engine in the bay*Okay, so yet another thread on this. I am trying to install my new balance shaft belt, and I can't get it around the backing plate of the crank sprocket. I had to cut the old one to get it off. I can't seem to get the crank sprocket nut off either...

Okay, so, I am in the process of redoing my head gasket, and like a mad man I ripped the vacuum lines off of the back of the intake manifold without really looking at everything to see where each hose went. Now, I can't really follow the OEM diagram to connect each line correctly for some...

Alright so long story short, my head gasket went on me, and being unsure of the age of the timing belt I decided it was time for a timing belt/60k maintenance job as well for piece of mind.Vehicle Info; 1996 Eclipse GSX (7 Bolt motor) 140k w/ auto *Supposed to be rebuilt by the previous...

So, I have been looking/reading into running e85, what is recommended, and what is required. I have a couple, well... a lot, of things to take care of before I worry about fuel. However, I came across a map converter so to speak on E85 Conversion Kits Change2E85.com There also seems to be a...

I know this has been beaten, and beaten time, and time again, but I just want to make sure I do everything correctly the first time when it comes to the head gasket and timing belt. I've been reading the vfaq as well as looking at both the Haynes/Chilton repair manuals and reading up on some of...

I purchased my first DSM last summer and had a lot of fun in it (even if it sat and got towed more than it drove :cry:) It had its fair share of problems which is where I learned a lot about cars and how much I enjoy working on them. It taught me a lot even for being a N/T 420a. Long story...

1996 Eclipse GSX (Auto)So, basically long story short, I blew my headgasket the other night. Atleast, I am assuming it's the headgasket, but I haven't had a chance to really take a look at it yet. All I know is that I had a huge oil puddle under my car when I went to go move the car before...

Okay, so I ordered RRE's Larson Silicone Hose Kit. I am in the process of doing a BLT and replacing all vacuum lines. I came across a vacuum hose where it seems that its between 4mm and 6mm. Can anyone tell me which size I should replace it with?*Attached picture for location*Thanks...
