    Urban camo engine bay

    I think you should have practiced on something else first. Props for trying something new though.

    A vented bov will do that.

    I say Nay

    Why is it not a good idea to put turbo on a gs?

    The 420a engine is just not built for boost. You need to upgrade internals in order to even get past 5 psi. The 4g63 was built for boost and can handle alot of power on stock internals. You could probably find a turbo dsm for the price of an NT which is why it is easier to just get a 4g63.

    new guy!

    Welcome to the site. You can find almost any information on the site just by searching but dont be afraid to ask if you need help. Good luck with the projects and get some pics up.

    New Eclipse Owner, Transmission Issues :(

    Try disconnecting the battery for awhile then hook it back up and see if it works. This used to work on my old NT which could be an indication of tcu(transmission computer) It would be much easier if it was just a tcu problem and not the actual transmission you could just get a used one if it is.

    New Eclipse Owner, Transmission Issues :(

    If it is an auto it could be the tcu. Mine went out and my car went into limp mode where the transmission wouldn't shift.

    Want to push my 2g off a cliff.. Need some help

    At the end of the day its still a gsx so rebuilding is always worth it IMO.
  13. bombDSM

    Emergency brakes?....

    If you dont want to go to the junkyard, you could check miller import parts. Its a bit more expensive but you wont have to make the trip or get dirty lol.
  14. bombDSM

    What is this

    Im not sure if you will notice much of a difference i havent installed mine yet. You would have to refill and bleed the clutch all over.
  15. bombDSM

    What is this

    The SS braided line wont expand as much as the rubber line.

    Exhaust manifold fitting questions

    Thats what i get here living in SO CAL.:thumb: Too bad the smog laws suck
  17. bombDSM

    Exhaust manifold fitting questions

    It is a dsm flange. Just get a 2g manifold ive cracked two 1g manifolds just DDing.
  18. bombDSM

    New to dsm! Help decide if this is the gsx for me!

    Congrats on the upgrade.
  19. bombDSM

    Car not making boost, please help!

    You should probably start with a boost leak test then see if the wastegate flange is stuck open.
  20. bombDSM

    Just purchased a 97 GSX AWD

    I would change that air filter to a k & n. Fix those oil leaks and then boost leak test to get it running the best you can.it doesn't look like you have too many mods there. You have a greddy bov recirculated which is good and what looks like a 14b. It wouldn't hurt to clean up that engine bay...
  21. bombDSM

    header help

    Try wrapping it with exhaust wrap, it should help with the heat. You probably need to get a cat back for it to sound any better. You should also make sure you dont have any exhaust leaks.
  22. bombDSM

    Is this a GS or RS

    You could get a gst or a tsi like the one above for about the same.
  23. bombDSM

    420A Idle Surge help!!!

    Maybe a vacuum. My car would idle high then die when i forgot to connect the pcv valve.
  24. bombDSM

    What is this car worth / Is this car a good deal?

    I would take a chance on it for 1800. Maybe try to work him down.
  25. bombDSM

    1g side skirt swap

    You can the clips from stm under oem parts on their site. They are a little pricey though.
  26. bombDSM

    swapping antenna's help!!

    You could just unplug the power and have it up or down all the time if you cant get it out.
  27. bombDSM

    Emissions Failure

    you are suppose to have the stock airbox cover the k&n filter. Most places here in CA dont really care about that but you get some that follow everything by the book.
  28. bombDSM

    Whats needed to swap a 6 bolt into a 1g

    I think i read somewhere that the 1g 6 and 7 bolts are the same except for the number of bolts on the flywheel im not 100% on that though.
  29. bombDSM

    newbie with 97 gsx problems

    I have heard of people passing emissions with no cat but it would probably be easier to pass with one and maybe just get a 1g bov so you can recirculate it. Also wouldnt having no cat cause a cel and cause you to fail emissions?
  30. bombDSM

    newbie with 97 gsx problems

    You should probably get that bov recirculated as well.
  31. bombDSM

    1998 GST worth the cash?

    If he just wants to dump it, you could probably get it for 1000.
  32. bombDSM

    420a worth modding?? 135k miles

    It is a good car to learn on. I guess you could say its easier to work on than a 4g63t.
  33. bombDSM

    420a worth modding?? 135k miles

    My first car was a 420a eclipse and i loved it. IMO it just not worth dumping the money into it. If i could go back in time i would have just done all the maintenance and kept it looking nice. Later you can step up to a 4g63t.
  34. bombDSM

    96-Gst, auto Trans, running prob.

    Boost leak test first before you start replacing things. Look for leaks at the injector seals i had huge leaks there when i first got my car.
  35. bombDSM

    Nicest rim style for 1gb talon

    Is this site legit?

    Not sure what you are looking at from there but I would suggest buying from a supporting vendor like extremepsi.com. You will never have to worry about them being legit. Sorry if I didnt answer your question.

    What are the limits without tuning?

    Before link I believe most people used an afc to tune fuel.
  43. bombDSM
