yup had the same prob with my car.... valve stem seals

lol it wont be ran on e85 but it will be over 30 for sure. I was just wondering for down the road when I want something bigger

well then...........lol not a good idea then. what would be considered an upgrade then for the green xl?

alright thanks man. I was jw because I read on here somewhere that putting a oldschool red hotside on a green xl was a upgrade. but that didn't make any sense to me because I was pretty positive that they were all 8cm housings

is the dsm green xl turbine inlet flange the same as a old school red or black?

do you need to change the engine harness when converting a n/t 4g63 to 4g63t? if so why?

my friend had the same problem in a 1st gen, we put a new alternator in and it helped but there was still something wrong with it. come to find out it was a blown fuse

im gonna go with a manley and arias setup

im just going to leave the poll open so it gets more accurate over time, and the more votes it gets the better the decision someone can make when looking for a decent piston/rod combo

I just tried it in a vise and it came out perfect. So yes using a vise does work great. I figured it wouldn't work very good. but I would say it wouldn't work very good with thin walled tubingnow I just need some 1.5" stainless steel elbows. anyone know where to get them for cheap?

hm doesn't really show how they made the oval transition. but just by looking at it, it was either put in a vise or a press with some sort of jigim gonna go see if I got some pipe in my garage and im gonna try to do it with a vise

crimsondragon you got a video?

lol no that wouldn't be very effective for flow lmao

does anyone know if there is a tool to flare the end of a pipe to a oval shape for building headers? if not im just gonna make one

well I don't wanna go cheap and risk breaking something but I also don't wanna spend my money on a pos if u get what im sayin lol

starting to think im not gonna go with wiesco lol. But are you guys experiencing these problems with all wiesco pistons or just standard ones, or high cr pistons

hmmmm ive never heard of arias, but I have heard people here and there using ross pistons. What does everybody else think? I want to get a majority vote here(I know that's probably going to be hard lol)

so would you guys suggest me running JE 8.5:1 on manley rods?

its not staying stock lmao. Your one of those go big or go home type of guys aren't you lolwell guys Im getting a fp green xl for my build, Im getting a good deal on one, what sized injectors should I look into getting since I only got 750cc's now

im going to get a fmic I forgot to add that. Not sure if I wanna get a magnus intake mani yet because im not really sure how to set it up ive never done a aftermarket intake setup, and im building a custom exhaust for it since I have the resources and im highly skilled in welding. I would like...

heres my setup I wanna runscat h beam or eagle rods wiesco (not sure what CR to run) pistons 20g turbo (yes I know theres gonna be lag but I plan to upgrade injectors later) 750cc injectors(93oct pump gas) dsmlink and maft with 3" gm maf and possibly a magnus street intake manifold...

really? they would almost be the same wouldn't they? because u can tune maf translator in dsm link

heres a list of what i need6bolt rods pistons(i have a set of topline .20 over pistons but i dont know how they would hold up) full valvetrain turbo wiring harness dsm link maf translator 5spd transmission(fwd) with everything for a 5spd swap(fwd)

yes both lol

After I did all that I used the car as a daily driver, the car worked great but it had something wrong with it that I could never figure out. You couldn't drive it over 45mph for more that 5-15min because it would start to cutout and miss fire, im guessing that the valve seals were bad in it or...

Got a new dsm last year for $500.(Aug. 2012) Im reposting this thread because my laptop was down and I haven't posted on it in quite a while so sorry for anyone who was following. Im planning on rebuilding it because the valve seals are leaking and its making it run rough. I also just want a fun...

my plans have changed and if you would of read all the post you would know im not going to be running a n/t setup.. I have a few designs drawn up, and they are all cheap so im probably going to build at least two different styles, one is gonna be straight pipe, and the other is either gonna be...

my plans have changed for the car. Its getting completely rebuilt and its going to have a turbo evo 3 16g setup. ill post pictures of my progress when I get a chance, but my laptop is down so ill try my best.I thinking about coming out of the o2 housing and making a 2.5" or 3" pipe to a...

im in the process of doing this right now. ill post up pics when i get a chance

Reconditioned 6 Bolt Connecting Rods - Balanced and ARP'edthere you go :thumb:

finally got my head off this weekend and im going to send it in along with the block. im gonna run stock internals on the head. I'll be running 1g rods with topline pistons and a big 16g setup on a aftermaket manifold, but ill be running a stock intake manifold and throttle body, with a gm maft...

you want compression to rise because the oil makes a good seal and increases compression

cool im sure this will help everyone out

i gotta redo the head tho because the valve seals are leaking, i got a 7bolt engine if anyone knows someone that wants it

ok cool thanks

if it starts when its cold then runs bad when its hot its not the battery it would have to be a sensor or a seal bad somewhere, possibly valve seals because my 1g has the same problem

whats the difference between the turbo harness and n/t

hey guys just had a question for you i have a 4g63 n/t 6 bolt and im wanting to turbo it could i just upgrade pistons and rings, injectors, fuel pump, and get a gst ecu and it would run like its a stock gst with no tuning issues?

sounds awesome man, just like every one else said though its going to take alot of time and money but in the long run it will be amazing

pm'd

backgroundI bought a 92' N/T eclipse fwd this summer for an amazing $500 it has 159,000 miles on it, and i ended up putting $800 worth of brakes on it and a tune up as well, but the head needs to be rebuilt because the valve seals are leaking and making the car run like ****Rebuild...

alright first off not a smart idea to use quiksteel and it can be fixed very easily as long as its not cast because cast will crack under heat while welding and it is possible to weld but its dangerous because it can weaken the metal to the point of shattering under boost. if your a good welder...

you lucky **** ive been trying to find a good turbo deal like this so if you find anymore or wanna sell yours let me know

im doing a 1g build too so ill be following this thread. Are you running a turbo setup or all motor

hey guys i got a 92' 1g n/t eclipse and im wanting to rebuild it because the valve seals are leaking bad and i want more power. But i have done a little research and an all motor build to do it right you really need to go bigger on everything fuel pump, injectors, pistons, compression, etc. but...

that would be nice but idk because im not sure how to wire it up ive never swapped a 5spd into a car. if you got a link i would love to learn how

had to find a trailer to get it home because the tires were dryrotted like crazy, i ended up renting a U-Haul car trailer for $55 which is amazing :thumb: but on the way home the headliner tore off the car,but i started scrubbing the engine bay and cleaning it up. My intake hose was pretty dry...

got a new dsm this year, im planning on rebuilding it because the valve seals are leaking and its making it run rough. But i wanna do an all motor build around 300-400 hp nothing to much and def some new rims and prob gonna stick with stock bumper and side skirts but i havent decided

anyone know where i could get a cheap pocket for a 1g?

this is kind of odd but i just bought a 1g and its got the same problem, oil in the headers and smoking a little, im pretty sure its the valve guide seals because if the car sits for too long the top end of the motor wont get lubricated, i put bars leak valve seal conditioner in mine and it...
