    Fresh build, strange noise, need opinion.

    Always nice to hear a good outcome. Josh

    giving life back to a 97 gst

    Good stuff and nice progress. I have had my GSX for a year and have made about this much progress. Going to check back with how you like Fidanza, since it was something I was considering. Josh

    2G Opinions on delivering pizza in a turbo w/oil leak

    A cheap DD is where it is at to deliver pizza, or anything... really. Unless you have your car completely dialed at most times or have a newer any car.It just isn't fun to have car problems at work. Josh

    2G Opinions on delivering pizza in a turbo w/oil leak

    I have delivered pizza in the past and probably wouldn't deliver in the Eclipse. Maybe the Mighty Max with a loose exhaust and fading paint.It seems to work better for tips, not having a new car that shines.I imagine delivering in an Evo would probably work against you in the tip department...

    Gsx vs. gs 2g

    I imagine the the RS/GS would be about as dependable as the Neon. A Neon might be better since it has 4 doors for passengers. Josh

    Brembo conversion

    I was doing the Brembo upgrade on my GSX and had to remove material from the caliper.Not too much, just enough for clearance. The Evo 8/9 is a bit easier than the Evo 10 swap also. Josh

    {{\ Just Another 1995 GSX Thread - First Post /}}

    There is MightyRam50.net that has a few swaps. The 2.4 wide block looks to be one of the favorites for the swap. Some folks like the 2.6 for the Starion swap.The 1989 Mighty Max has the 2.0 Sohc g63b engine and the 4g63 bolts up to the KM132. The engine mounts do need to move the engine up...

    Oh yeah... Forgot about that one. Can't remember exactly when and where it went, but someone wanted the white 2gb and I sold it.Honestly, next year I want to do the 4g63 swap into the Mighty Max, but right now I need it for moving bikes and stuff. The GSX will probably end up being my DD if I...

    fast spoolin 450whp turbo?

    I am going with an MHI TD05 20g with similar ideas in mind. Although, I am going to keep the boost down until I can afford a better transmission set up. The E316g was the turbo I was looking for originally, but locally found a 7 blade HX-35 in sweet condition. While searching for a used dsm...

    Belt Slipping

    Pictures would definitely help if possible.There isn't really a trick to tensioning an auxiliary belt and would probably guess the tensioner is stripped or the pulley could be bent. However, it is difficult to throw out any possibilities without any real idea of what is going on visually. Josh

    Hope that you don't have bent valves. Are you sure it was tensioned correctly?? Josh

    Should I go with a 190 or a 255hp?

    I say 255 since that is the way I chose to do it.... However, my build keeps getting delayed due to always needing more supporting mods(if you like delays:) ). AFPR, injectors, fuel pump just for basic fuel needs.If you have the cash then go 255. If it is a daily driver and you can't buy...

    1G Does the Mighty Max 2.4L Engine bolt up?

    Good luck with your project. I went with a 1989 Mighty Max that I am using for an early 6 bolt swap next year. It is the narrow block 2.0 g63b with the KM 132 transmission.Going to source an early 2.0 narrow block 4g63T and do the swap where it moves the engine up almost 2 inches.Also have...

    Have you bled the clutch slave cylinder ever?? It almost sounds like the pedal won't allow the clutch disc to disengage.Hopefully someone with more expertise can chime in. I personally would verify that I had complete uninterrupted pressure in the line. Josh

    1G Launched and Flopped.. What Broke?

    Transfer case isn't so bad.. Just disconnect the driveshaft and unbolt the transfer case from the transmission.Then it is out... However, you should probably diagnose and verify what is actually wrong before just swapping in new parts.Jafromobile shows how to remove and replace the bearing...

    A broken U joint, driveshaft, t-case, axles, or diff as stated earlier. Josh

    Pulling my engine(FWD)

    Nice... I guess I need to start working on more FWD cars. Hopefully you can get the axle out with the engine.It is stuff like this that keeps my projects from ever being done close to within my timeline.Plus ordering parts seems to be like ordering from the moon. Josh

    Pulling my engine(FWD)

    I pulled mine from the front. My 6G72(Stealth TT) engine/transmission came out & went in almost easier than my 2g Eclipse engine.I would probably be using a load leveler from the side to keep the weight balanced, but I am sure it can be done a few ways.In for the pull... and more pictures...

    Pulling my engine(FWD)

    Good luck... Pulling the engine isn't too bad. I just try to keep the bolts as organized as possible.If you have a camera phone, it sure doesn't hurt to document electrical and supporting brackets in the bay. Josh

    I am just thinking stock rebuild possibly with the 1g rod/2g piston set-up. It would be nice to have it running in a couple weeks or so.After a year or two, I will consider building it up with forged internals. However, I really want to upgrade from my 1997 Mirage sooner than later. Josh

    {{\ Just Another 1995 GSX Thread - First Post /}}

    It is something that is on my mind considering I need to clean up the head and am going to re-ring the pistons for comfort. I guess my experience thus far is limited to an engine swap, 3 teardowns (also in the head gasket process) and some minor engine work.Just want to do this right and have...
