Hello all! I was wondering if you could help me with a problem my brothers 99 eclipse rs is having with shifting. Automatic Transmission.About 2 weeks ago he had a really bad oil leak in his engine bay which covered most of his engine bay with oil. He caught it late and fixed itRight...

So I kind of need help install my prosport halo boost gauge....I know supposed to be easy but the wiring is really stumping me. Anyone in the northern jersey area want to give me a hand with the install or some tips? I'd very much appreciate it.If a hand is given I'll gladly compensate, thanks!

Hey there guys I'm having some problems after getting a new head in my DSM.Lets backtrack a bit. The reason I got a new head was because my AC belt snapped and jammed itself nicely into my timing belt. Bent pretty much all the valves.So my mechanic sent it to a machine shop to get new...

You should have one vacuum line running from the intake manifold to the bov. I believe the upper nipple. Then you should have a vacuum hose to recirculate your bov from the intake pipe to the big hole on the bov. More than likely you might be overboosting without some sort of boost control

The bov looks like a type s. And the blue thing as you put it is a manual boost controller. Turbo smart brand I think.

Do you rev in park? You'll only get boost during load.If all is well double check your work

Without a scan tool its a matter of trial and error. Though 2 turns from closed should do it but that can change depending on boost leaks etc.Give turning it a shot little by little and let the car adjust and check the idle, if its not where you want it to be keep tinkering with it.

The idle could be a couple of things, have you checked for any boost leaks? When is the last time you changed/check your plugs, ISC etc.As for the shifting to drive and not moving much, my automatic does the same on cold starts no idea if it is normal.

I believe in a different post you made someone had said one was the knock sensor and the other an emissions related plug made for california standards, are you still having problems?

Redline MT 90 seems to be a popular choice

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts I have heard decent reviews. Nothing wrong with OEM though.

1g bov will work just fine, if not better. Be sure to clog up those holes made from the current bov though.The flange itself is a 1g bov style but to put on the current bov the previous owner drilled 2 new holes into the flange. So while a new 1g bov will bolt right on, the 2 new holes...

The bov kind of looks like a greddy knock off. You should definitely recirculate though, just buy the correct size hose and run it from your intake to the big opening on the Bov. As for the turbo I can't say too inexperienced with that hehe. Should try and get a picture of the serial number...

If you ran the runs without letting the transmission fluid cool down then most likely something overheated, get it checked out, start fresh and if it still slips might have to replace some pieces or transmission as a whole

For the life of me I can't get the page to load -____- but the engines use the same belt. Car brand doesn't matter. The only reason the belt might cost more is it was made of a different material or brand that sold it at a higher cost.

I'd recommend 4G63 4G63T 2.0 16-Valve DOHC Timing Belt Mitsubishi and Hyundai PD has a good rep, I use the belt myself when I bought the timing belt package and have had no problems whatsoever. Price is pretty good too :D

^x infinity? It sounds like crankcase pressure. Don't force the dipstick to stay in, if it keeps popping out its trying to tell you something

After maintenance best bet is to get a boost gauge and a manual boost controller to get a feel as to what your car can put out stock. Then from there start upgrading depending on your HP goals. Set a goal and find the best way to get there on your budget :D

So i bought a used dejon air intake pipe and then saw that it hadn't come with the nipples for the charcoal can or valve cover tube. I believe I read the charcoal can can be deleted but the valve cover I'm not sure what steps to take. I know the breathers don't work because of the oil spray. I...

have you checked for any boost leaks? Does the engine sound airy during a rev? Could also be an exhaust leak. When my exhaust pipe had one I couldn't rev past 2.5k and I felt like I had no power.As for the crank is it a new battery or old one? Could be that or coil pack starter etc

Besides laying off the gas pedal, make sure all maintenance is up to date, any dirty filters,injectors etc will reduce efficiency.

If it only does this at WOT and accelerates fine at 80% my best guess would be a boost leak. Do a test if not this perhaps injectors clogging up

^ Plus 1. This would work and it would even tire wear.

Kind of sounds similar to what happens to me, if I gradually accelerate no problem but if I WOT and boost builds my car shakes and bogs. From what I heard last time could be a boost leak. Would make sense if its really fuel cut since its based on airflow.

Thank you very much for the reply! Now to find some good hoses to use as new vacuum lines ^^

Hello fellow DSMers, I've been contemplating doing the Taboo vacuum line delete but worried I might fail emission test if I do. Nj is emissions only so its the only thing I have to worry about. Anyone here have their vacuum lines deleted? How do they fare during emission test? Thank you for...

Hey guys ty for having some patience with me I'm still a DSM noob hehe.Well today I think I found the source of the sound. Took a closer look at my car and saw that my front exhaust wasn't where it should be. That should explain the loud noise, hopefully I can get it fixed as soon as...

Hey guys ty for being patient with me I'm still a DSM noob hehe. Well today I took a closer look and saw that my front exhaust pipe wasn't connected to my cat....so that explains the sound. Going to try and get that fixed ASAP and see if anything else is wrong. hear a whistling sound thats...

It could be that its a small town Idk if he has ever dealt with a turbo car, and symptoms well before in the drivers seat I would hear the engine yes but it was quiet enough that I could hear the BoV. Now all I hear is the engine. I also feel a lot slower. Stock boost doesn't go up but then...

Well I just want to see if thats what happened to me. The car still runs. It feels a hell of a lot slower though. Boost barely builds. and the engine sounds amplified.No oil though have been leaking power steering and no smoke

Would the engine run with a blown turbo or if it isn't connected correctly/big leak? My engine sound changed the last couple of days and a mechanic took a quick glance and he couldn't hear anything wrong with the "engine". So say he is correct what could cause it to sound louder?

Yeah hopefully by this weekend I'll know. Had to use it as my DD today.It drove to say the least. Acceleration is really slow, RPMS don't pass 3k. Noise kind of evens out around 3k RPM but I haven't dared trying to go higher than 3k.Alright so took it to a local mechanic for him to have...

Hey guys thanks for the response.Yes I bought this car from pa. Haven't done the leak tests this weekends I hope to narrow down the problem. Would leaks cause a loud noise? And yes it bogs a lot. I have to use it as my DD today unfortunately hope it holds out

Yeah that was the first thing I did when I got it.Still dealing with the loud knocking noise coming from the engine : / gonna take it apart to see whats the damage. Any chance its not going to end up as an engine rebuild?

Hey guys thanks for the input!Unfortunately for today I have my first real mishap :(As I was driving the engine suddenly got real loud as if I had installed a big muffler or something. I pulled over for a sec and turned off the car. I started it again and it started with no problems but...

Hey guys thanks for the input.This weekend I hope to replace a couple of pieces mentioned to try and avert any damage that may come. Caps plugs etc. I also plan to get a Haynes manual, saw one today but it was for the 2g cars.Any idea on how to fix my FIAV or MAF? I'll be doing a boost...

Hey thank you for the response and sorry for double posting I deleted the other to be on the safe side ^^Yeah I'll be replacing the timing belt soon after I get the steering sorted out. I'm hoping its the pump and not the rack and pin.As for the idle I've been raising it for now...

I just recently bought a 91 talon tsi awd from a post on Craigslist. I first took a drive down to see it and on the 2nd I bought it. So far the only problems it has is the power steering isn't properly working. From a stop its difficult to turn but once its given a little gas its a lot easier...
