    Blank valve cover

    Yep def a shaved stock valve cover. Cool beans. Some folks pay a little bit for those.

    2G Painting trunk

    Key words there are "prep work" not the paint or primer itself. One of the best things you can do is paint over your factory stuff if it is not faded completely or flaking itself.If your changing the color, just scuff, 1-2 primer/sealer coats, and then base and clear.I don't know where...

    Does crank walk usually break timing belt?

    Well said. Instead of assuming, what all have you checked other than just looking at the belt?

    Looking for some more horses.

    Do you know how much power you even have right now? I would start there, and as above mentioned to basic maintainence and find out if your car is tuned for power, with those mods and a safc, I think our missing out a lot.

    evo 8 timing belt

    That's neat, did not know they used the same belts.

    New here:)

    Sounds like a decent deal, welcome.

    Japanese Engine: too good to be true?

    Looks like a good find, if it is in running shape and not rotted from sitting in a yard for 5 years. Good one to have in case.

    General Unfound GSX Questions

    ABS and SRS(safety restraint system, I think) are different systems. One malfunctioning will not set the other off, if you have an ABS light on then stick to the brake system for your problem.Before you go searching for a turbo set up, or a BOV set up, or anything really you first and most...

    General Unfound GSX Questions

    The 2G BOV is also plastic, where as the 1G is metal and just all around better. If you plan of modding the car at all in the future invest in the very least a 1G valve. You will need new upper intercooler pipeing though, as the 1G mounts differently to the pipe.I know someone who shaves...

    Boost and Wastegate Issue (t25)

    Is your boost gauge stock or aftermarket?
  11. handsome_black

    Crank angle sensor cause of bad gas mileage?

    This. I don't see where a working crank sensor can or would cause a mpg problem. He sounds shady to me, mechanic? Not so sure about that. You don't diagnose a car based loosely on what you think or have heard other peoples cars have done or didn't do.Make sure all your routine maintaince is...

    Won't idle will only rev to 3000

    I am kind of confused, your timing was off then or not?

    auto trans from 1993 eclipse gsx

    From my knowledge all 93's were a 7 bolt. Some 92's had the 6 bold crank and 4 bolt rear end, but not sure about 93+.

    Boost and Wastegate Issue (t25)

    Mod list. Where are you getting your 15psi boost reading from?

    Glowing red. [Merged 1-7] Exhaust, turbo, glow, hot

    Also check and see if the exhaust is clogged. Plugged cat perhaps.

    boost stutter

    The size of the fuel pump wont "overrun" your injectors, some say it will overrun your stock pressure regulator, but your injectors are controlled by the ecu, and like previous folks have said running larger injectors without a tune solution, is causing all kinds of problems with your car, even...

    Will the knock sensor always pick up rod knock?

    A flashing CEL means possible damage to your cat's, so maybe it was not rod nock that messed up your engine. Unless your set up only flashed for when the knock sensor detected knock.They are fairly sensitive though, and the correct torque when installing them is critical, to much and its...

    Melted injector?

    There are many places to send them to get them tested. You can check with some local shops to see if they do it, or google this topic and see where a close shop that does this is. Its always a good idea to have your injectors tested and cleaned so they can properly work.

    Approx distance from Downward Outlet To Side Mount

    I would order 3 just to be safe. Its hard to tell with the curves and such.

    450cc in 420a engine

    ^ This. If you have not already messed something up from running way to much fuel. Your ECU does not know the size of the injectors, so putting on larger ones your ecu goes nuts trying to dial them back to get your a/f ratio to what it needs to be. But it cant because the larger injectors have a...

    Getting into DSM, good base to start?

    A GST and GSX are the only models that came with a turbo, but, with money and time you can turbo any one of them. If your all hung up about a 6 bolt swap you will need something 93+, or just get a 1GA with a 6 bolt in it.

    having a boost issue. may be a leak or a surge

    Do a correct boost leak first, find your leaks and fix them accordingly, no need to start jumping into needing bigger injectors.... You mention nothing of a larger turbo, or any other mods that may require additional parts.
  23. handsome_black

    New to turbo and engine managment

    You have checked all your fuses to make sure nothing else was damaged? Also, most tuning systems get reset when the battery has been disconnected, do you have a way to reload the tune? I am not familiar with that particular tuning software, but I would start there.

    primer for acrylic enamel? first paint job help

    Ive sprayed entire cars with 3/4 gallon of not that good paint. Your color and prep will have a lot of effect on how much you will use. If your changing the entire color, then youll need a good bit like mentioned above.If the car was just recently clear coated and is in good condition...

    Corvette "Sawblades" On A 2g Dsm?

    Ive seen a test set up on a 1G, but never on a 2G. I like the idea. Adapters for sure, spacers... ######. Buy one and test fit it and see!

    Barcelona Red Engine Bays

    Wow, that's really clean. Good job, a proof that shaved covers looks so much better.

    wrapping exhaust tip

    Gloss black high heat would look good for a tip. Good try's on the carbon fiber looks guys! Those valve covers need to be shaved. ;)

    I didn't see where it was confirmed that it is not in park.

    New Intake, Possible Fuel Cut?

    Technical Advice Needed: Turbo Delete

    I know the race well, read about it many times. It does sound like loads of fun. As far as the rules go, can you change any parts that break during the race? If so, its would be better to just run with the turbo and have a back up IF anything was to happen to it. They can be just as reliable as...

    Car bogs badly under boost?

    So was it the ecu, or your plugs wires were wrong?

    2G 16g evo SERIOUS HELP ASAP!

    Agree, you need to recirc that BOV valve. Even if you "think" its not causing a problem, it most certainly is. How do you even know how much boost you are running? Your not going of the stock gauge are you?You need to slow down before you go try to get a hp number, get the car at the very...

    Technical Advice Needed: Turbo Delete

    You said your racing a 1G therefore, you can do a 4g63 n/t swap in there. The 2G with the 420 n/t you cant. the low compression and the awd with no turbo would be horribly slow. Not a good idea for a race car.
  34. handsome_black

    Is This Exhaust Setup Alright?

    ^ ###### more. Haters ganna hate.
  35. handsome_black

    Advice??

    With wes again, you cant use turbo parts for your non turbo 2G. You want to turbo your car you should look into a lot of reading and learning, as all this has been done before.Your best bet is to find a used 420a and build it up while you drive your car as is. Once it is done and ready...

    Turboing my 4g64 Spyder

    I agree with Wes, why use a "cheater" device like an safc when you are fully capable and able to do a ECU swap that works great and gives you all kinds of options. This seems silly.

    o2 housing with wastegate port blocked

    Ebay. There is whole bunches of them for sale.
  38. handsome_black

    will this fit my eclipse?

    To answer the question: No, 3G parts are not compatible with your 2G.

    Wrinkle valve cover write up

    I was going to suggest the same as colt, your pics don't show any kind of prep work. I hope its just miising from the details. Or you will be redoing is very soon.

    stock injectors/91 + gt35 + TONS of meth

    What do you want to "discuss"? How long till it blows up? I don't see the point of this.

    Replacing Narrowband with Wideband

    Your changing your stock 02 for a wide band? Whats the reason, why don't you run your wideband separate?
