I fear this thread will come off as a "Just bought a stock dsm, ordered a chinese gt35r turbo kit from ebay, want to be fast" type of threads, but I assure you, that is not my intention.I own a 1999 GSX that I bought absolutely bone stock about 5 years ago. It's gone through several phases...

Long story short, I relocated my coil packs. It took me a while to complete the project, so when I removed the coils from the bracket I lost track of which one went where. I now need to know how to identify which coil pack operates cylinders 1 and 4, and which one operates cylinders 2 and 3...

I recently restored my 99' engine bay. All new gaskets on my stock 7 bolt long block.As soon as I got it running, I noticed an oil leak on the timing side. After removing the timing covers, the oil pump sprocket nut fell on the floor. The sprocket is still on the pump, but just barely. Talk...

1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks? No major leaks, but will test again.2). Verified mechanical timing? Yes.3). Verified base timing? Yes.4). Ignition system COP or Stock Coil: Stock Wire brand and Age: NGK, new Spark Plug brand, type and Gap: NGK BPR6ES, .0285). Motor health...

Alright, I'm attempting to convert to SD using ceddymods. I can't seem to get the Evoscan logging parameters to work properly though. I've attached a log with the following selected to log in Evoscan:Engine RPM Throttle Position 2Byte Load 2Byte AirCounts MAF 2Byte AirCounts SD SD VE% AirCount...

I'm looking for the part numbers or source of the large metal washers and rubber rings/bumpers for the front subframe.I seem to have misplaced the bag that I put them in when I removed the subframe. So now I need to know where I can get all of the metal washers and rubber rings, and it would...

Alright, I have my '99 7 bolt torn down waiting to be reassembled right now. For some reason, I can't get the old gasket material off the front case without causing damage, no matter which method I use. Also, the head of the phillips head screw for the oil pump cover is stripped. I would feel...

I ordered the oem gasket kit from JNZ and received 16 of these valve stem seals. I'd like to drop my head off at the machine shop today, but I'm wondering if I should wait and order a set of the blue viton seals before I do. I can't really tell if these are supposed to be green or grey. Will I...

I'm in Virginia, and I'm looking for a daily driver gst under $3k. Where do you guys usually find good deals?

I've seen some threads about the STM abs delete kit that say the lines are too long and you end up with a lot of extra slack. Is the JNZ kit any different? I really doubt the local yards have any non abs hardlines so these kits might be my only options.Thanks

I can't find much information on these questions, and maybe there is a reason for that. I want to tuck my brake lines and power steering lines as much as possible. I'd like to get some feedback from you guys and make sure I'm not overlooking something obvious/important.Here's the kicker: I'm...

I recently pulled my motor for the first time. I'm not 100% sure on the history of the car, but I bought it bone stock so I can't say for certain what has/hasn't been done.I pulled the head just to check everything out since I planned on doing the head gasket anyway. I don't have a lot of...

Just like the title says, I decided to pull my motor and do a mild build and engine bay restoration over the winter. I didn't think to have the A/C drained by a professional before I pulled the motor, and I'd like to remove all the A/C components to make the bay easier to work on. However, I...

I've been on here for a little over 4 years. I got my 1999 Eclipse GSX in August of 2012. It was my first car at 16, and had been a dream car of mine since I was much younger. I bought it bone stock (except for the wheels) with 124,XXX miles on it and drove it about 3 hours home. At the time, I...

I've got a TD05 20g on my car and currently have an Evo IX pump installed. It is NOT rewired. I'm not sure of the signs showing that I'm running out of pump, but it seems to lean out every now and then while doing a pull.Mod list is as follows:TD05 20g set at 20-22 PSI VRSF FMIC Evo IX Fuel...

I'm wanting to buy a new axle for my 1999 GSX 5speed. I may be missing something, but how are you supposed to put the carrier bearing on the new axle? I really don't want to take the new axle apart if I don't have to.

I'm wondering what the easiest/fastest way is to delete the charcoal canister on my '99 gsx. I'm installing my fmic and forgot I would hit the canister. I know there are a lot of threads on this, but none really told me what to do besides "remove the canister"This is what I'm talking about...

I bought a used 20g off the forum. I wen't to install it and I can't get it to fit. I think I've dented the water pipe enough, but it's hitting the coolant line banjo bolt that goes into the block right below the water pipe. I've ground the bolt head down to the point that I don't feel...

I recently installed fic 950s on my 2g GSX. I'm using ecuflash with ceddymods to tune with. My injector scaling ended up around 860ish, and I added .315 to my latency table, but have tried everything from .200 to .450. Nothing helps the stumbling idle, but it does change the afr. My afr at idle...

My front driver axle is clunking on my 2g GSX. I can't afford oem from Jnz, so where is a cheaper place to buy a new axle? I can't seem to find a confirmed part number anywhere. Thanks

On a 2g AWD do I need to drop the transmission to replace the speed sensor? I smashed it putting the trans back in but didn't notice until everything was put back together.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use 4 studs to attach the o2 housing to the turbo. I always fight with the bolts, so I really want to replace them all with studs and nuts. Has anyone done this? Is there any weird fitment issues that I'll run into (like not being able to slide the o2 housing...

I recently installed a new LC2 in my o2 housing, replacing my o2 sensor. I don't have a rear o2 sensor connected either.I'm attempting to simulate a narrowband with EcuFlash/Evoscan. I have connected both the yellow and brown wires from the LC2 to each of the o2 sensor inputs at the ecu (pins...

I just got my LC2 installed today. I have it installed in the o2 housing, obviously replacing the stock front o2 sensor. I wired up the wideband using these guidelines:Red wire – 12v accessory power source (e.g. cigarette lighter or radio) Blue wire – chassis ground White wire - ECU sensor...

Hey everyone,Just bought a set of rotors and pads off eBay from this link http://www.ebay.com/itm/400733458061?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITI installed everything, and as soon as I rolled it out of my garage I could tell something wasn't right. The brakes almost...

I'm looking for the clip that pushes into the dash to hold the radio trim on. This is for a 2g. Does anyone know where I can find one? The junk yards here don't have any dsms. Thanks!

I've searched and I can't seem to find how to get ecuflash to show imperial units, like *F instead of *C and MPH instead of KPH. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

1999 GSX, stock everything except intake, NGR bov (recirc) and 3in exhaust (no cat). This is on the T25 with the BCS removed.1. I have a rough idle. It fluctuates from 800-1200, and it also misses every few seconds. It's not bad enough to stall, and it doesn't fluctuate very fast. It just...

First things first, I don't have anything needed to run SD yet with ecuflash because I'm not sure if I'll be able to figure it out. This may be part of the problem, since I can't see logs and try things out.I've been researching SD using ceddymods for a while, but I've been experimenting in...

I've searched and searched, but I can't find a solid answer.I've got the eBay SRS catback on my 2g GSX, and I'm looking for a downpipe.The new style of the Megan downpipe looks like the flange on the catback side can be rotated in any direction. Does this mean I shouldn't have fitment...

I want to get some spacers, but I know I need to be hubcentric. I currently have the ASA AR1's on the car, but I'm not sure of all the specs.Really, my main question is where can I find spacers that are hubcentric to the car and also the the rim? The center bore of the rim is larger than...

I'm going with the Koni/Ground Control combo for my 2g in couple weeks, but I have a few questions first.I have this setup installed on my car, so I thought I'd answer my own questions in case anyone else is wondering the same thing.1. What are the best spring rates for a DD? The car will...

Trust me, I know there are probably more threads on this topic than there are books in the Library of Congress. But I've looked and looked for weeks and still can't get a solid answer.I'm looking at XXR's. This is purely a DD, so I'd rather not put nicer rims on it.But I'm not here to...

I'm planing on doing a simple 20g build, shooting for 350 whp on my 5 spd GSX. It's pretty much only going to be my daily, going to the track maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I'll very rarely launch the car, mainly doing highway pulls and such.My question is: What is going to be the best clutch...

I'm kind of baffled on this one. The weep hole on my valve cover is leaking. At first I thought it was my valve cover gasket, so I replaced it as well as the spark plug seals. Upon closer inspections, I noticed it seemed to be coming out of the weep hole. I've done my research, so I know the...

So after filling up with Shell premium the other day (I doubt that's relevant), I noticed that no matter what I try, I can't get my stock t25 to hit "full boost". I put quotes around full boost because I don't have a boost gauge yet, so I'm still using the stock one. Trust me, I know it...

Like the title says, is the HX35 going to be overkill for 400whp on a GSX?I'm really liking the holset turbos, specifically the hx35 for a little quicker spool (from what I read) compared to the hx40.My build is planned out like this:This build list is in no way set in stone, so...

Hey guys. I have a strange noise coming from my driver's side of my engine. I think it's either the crank pulley/harmonic dampener, or from the camshafts. It's really bad at idle, but ALMOST goes away when I give it some throttle.I don't think it's the Lower Timing Cover. It sounds like a...

Hey guys. So here's the story.I had a coolant leak coming out of the water pipe where it connect to the water pump. Pulled the T-Stat housing, but also unbolted everything that was connected to the housing. I'm not 100% sure on the names of the parts, but there is one fitting on the side...

Hey guys. My water pipe is leaking on the power steering pump side. What's the best way to fix it? I know I need to get a new oring, but how do I go about installing it in the pipe?

I'm probably picking up a 99 GSX next week. Bone stock, 110,000 miles. Completely serviced already (timing belt, water pump, head gasket, fluids, etc).My question is, how can I make sure it will stay up and running? What are some common parts that will break? I don't have a problem...

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has any input on where to find a decent eclipse to buy? I don't have a problem paying a lot (5,6, even 7K) for a decent one, but I just can't find anything that looks like it's worth that price. Any tips? Thanks!
