I am taking another break from this plat form. It all started when I turned 16 and got a 1990 GST, when I turned 17 I decided to pull the engine and trans and purchase about $2000 worth of parts that I never ended up completing. Fast forward 10 years and I got another Eclipse but 1997 GSX this...
So just recently I have started having issues with my transmission. When the car is off shifting is smooth, when the car is idling it's very hard to get it into any gear, once you get it into gear you can hear some chatter/metal rotating on metal noise, this goes away once you start driving...
So I have done some reading and cant find an answer. Both my boost gauge and map sensor are showing around 15-17 psi at full boost, however the boostest calculated from the mas is reading 33. Why would this be showing basically double what my actual readings are? My first guess would be boost...
Looking for a non cruise cable for my 2g, most places are out of stock or don't have the same part number MB948632 so I don't trust them. I found this on autozone and curious if it would work? It looks similar...
https://www.extremepsi.com/store/Speed-Density-Bundle-Kit-Mitsu-style-MAP-IAT-pigtails-and-bung-2G-DSM-or-EVO.htmlWould this be all I need to run this with link v3?
So my closed loop operates fine but I currently have open loop locked because it seems to be more consistent and I want to focus on WOT. I just fixed a huge boost leak where the motor mount had worn a hole in my j pipe and the car hauls ass, however I am still seeing a ton of knock and its...
Openport 2.0 has been sold.Black box ECU $70 + Shipping.I also have a stock 97 gsx ecu for $40 + shipping.Will update with pictures later or you can text me 256 630 0541
Just got my DSMLINK v3 installed yesterday and finally had the time to start cruising and doing some pulls. I noticed it's pretty regular that I get knock ranging from 3-10 any time that I do a WOT pull. I'm very novice at tuning but I did manage to get my idle near perfect my airflowperrev is a...
My DSMLINK v3 is out for delivery right now, it is a used unit. I have done some reading and gathered that I should Download a stock file configuration and or make sure all sliders are set to 0 and I adjust for my injector size.I've recently did maintenance such as head gasket, timing...
I have some stock parts that I pulled out of my 2g, the valves are well used and missing one exhaust valve due to some damage. The rest are all fine when I pulled from my head, the cams I'm pretty sure are just stock cams if anyone can identify the markings on them further that'd be great.I...
I have a 1997 GSX that the previous owner had put in a black box ECU, I am having trouble finding a shop that will tune it. I was told by english racing if I install an Evo 8 ECU they will tune the car.I found this guide...

Ok so I have all of my timing marks aligned correctly. I am trying to install the belt but it does not have enough slack, I have the tensioner pulley completely lose and the grenade pin still inserted in the auto tensioner. I followed the vfaq for correct routing and that does not work. All my...
Just got my new seals and valves installed, got water sitting on the valves to see if any leaks exists. After that I'll install the BC268/272 cams shafts and cam gears. Everything went smooth and I used the K-motors compressor tool, it was only $50.
So I ordered new valves, seals and some 268/272 BC cams for my head. My current cam gears have the timing adjusted slightly with the stock cams. I know I need to retune after installing the new cams, but should I leave cams how the currently are or set them back to 0?
So I think to get the experience I am just going to go ahead and rebuild my head myself. I'm not looking to do anything fancy, my car is around 320WHP and I only need to replace my exhaust valves but I figure while it's all out what are other things that should be done.Also if you could...
Trying to get my intake manifold off but I have no idea how I am suppose to access the lower bolts... I have tried with everything that I have to get a socket or wrench on there. The design is dumb it has the bolts positioned right under the runners I can barely squeeze my arm under there with a...
Curious on where to install a fuel pressure gauge on a 2g when using the stock fpr it bolts directly to the fuel rail so no way to put my T barb with my sending unit in between.
Here is a link to their website. I have contacted English Racing but they no longer offer Black Box tuning for our cars. Claiming that they always come in bricked, even after confirming with them that mine is not bricked and I have been making adjustments myself they have not responded at all...
Going to be swapping from my 450cc to 680cc injectors today and I am curious on the latency values. Do I just add to my current values the recommended amount for the 680cc?
Anyone know the best place to get some quality but also reasonable priced rattle cans? I need some Cayenne red pearl for my 2g eclipse. I plan to paint my side skirts and door handle to match the rest of the car.
So I have the opportunity to get some 560cc evo8 injectors local for $100 maybe less depending on some feedback from you guys. I've been looking around for some 650-850cc injectors and just can't find any for a fair price. I'm almost at the point of just buying brand new.I noticed one of the...
So finally got my cruising AFR up to around 13 and out of no where a day later they just went to 11 and it wants to stay there. My Idle and WOT did not change at all so it has me confused. Any ideas on what could change cruising AFR but not change the WOT and idle?
Out of these two which do you guys prefer?https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=279645&cc=1205873&jsn=9&jsn=9
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=991899&cc=1205873Also a side question.. If you had the option for 850cc, 660cc, or 560cc injectors for my Small 16g, 2.3l with a...
So still tinkering with my tune to get AFR set perfect. I have seem to get idle to be near perfect it still shows a little rich after pulling up to a stop light around 12.5 then eventually comes back to around 14.However when I let the car idle for 16+ minutes my fuel trims never changed, I...
Looking to see if anyone is local to portland or salem areas I am kind of in between. That has experience with ecuflash, I have adjusted some things and car runs a little better but doesnt seem to matter what else I adjust. To get the car leaner. WOT is ok at 10.5 but idle and cruising is rich...
I have EVOScan and ECUFlash already installed is there any other things recommended? Any advice or tips others that have used this can give me before I start and potentially f*** something up lol? I'm excited :D
Just got a sensor installed and my wideband gauge hooked up. At idle the car sits around 13.5 then cruising it's really rich at around 10.3-10.5. When I come up to a light and idle it's around 11.7 idle however once the car sits idle for a while it will go to 13.5. WOT it pegs at 10.0 and I...
So going over all the vacuum lines and replacing any bad ones on my car and I noticed this has some hoses missing from it. I don't know exactly where they all go to but it seems to be half assed removed. Can I get rid of it completely or what are some issues I may have?
When purchasing link v3 it's kind of unclear on their website if it comes with a ecu with it installed or if you have to supply an ecu. I have my stock ecu but it isn't eprom. What are the cost I'd be looking at for full v3 with the ecu?
Been tackling a few issues I've solved some things and others still havent figured out yet.At high RPM at 15 psi my car would hit what feels to be fuel cut. So I rewired and installed a walbro 190 and it still seems to have the same issue.Sometimes usually when the car is warmed up it will...
The line that I am pointing at how much fuel should come out of this line? I have a 1/4 tank gas and it just keeps coming out. I used a straw to get it to drain onto the floor and not on top of the pump but it still kept coming out
So bit of a problem, I dont have a way to data log so I'm just going off educated guesses. I took my turbo off the other day to check it after a rebuild and it has no play, spins perfect, no damage, and doesnt leak. During the reinstall I fixed a manifold stud, replaced gaskets and seals and any...
Does anyone know if advanced auto, napa, o riley, autozone etc.. Carry banjo bolts and crush washers for our cars? The one on my 14b is beat up and want to replace it.
So i have a feeling the lower one with the spade connector is the oil pressure sensor or switch. I'm not sure which one is which though. And the other one with the small black rubber boot I have no idea.
Just getting any interest for this. It's my old 1990 GST that I had pulled the engine and transmission from to rebuild it and never got around to it. The transmission has been sold as well as the head. I still have the stock rods/pistons/crank/block nothing wrong with them just had plan to go...
Decided to shift away from 3D printing car stuff or little toys. I've noticed almost all stores are sold out of filament and I have some on back order still. I have enough left to make about 50-100 of these mask depending on size and types. The filters are easy to come by as well as elastic. I...
Center section is almost air tight. The can of air only spins the exhaust wheel to turn the shaft to spin the intake wheel. The paper flap is being moved just by the wheel creating airflow. Seems cool the blades are very weak though it's a very thin wall. I could make the print much larger to...
So my car has a black box ECU and I was wondering if there would be any benefit in getting the open port and cables if I don't plan to tune the car right now. What all does this offer for my car outside of flashing?
Found a turbo on facebook a guy is selling from a dsm part out. It's a 16g that's been freshly rebuilt. Everything is good besides its missing the exhaust housing which my 14b works so all good there. It does come with the j pipe and I offered $170 am I getting a good deal?

So I recently rebuilt my throttle body and it will still leaking after putting it back on the car. Well today I removed the throttle body and used a dremel with a soft wire brush to clean and even out both sides of the throttle body, intake manifold, and throttle body elbow. I also placed...
So I just removed my throttle body and I noticed this tan sensor was plugged in and I assume it's the FIAV? I also noticed the two coolant hoses are not connected and I assume it has been bypassed?
Does anyone know where I can get some interior A pillar trim? Will I have to get lucky and find a used set for sale? I plan to get rid of the two gauge pod A pillar trim that came with the car. I either want tan left side or black left and right side.
Looking to pick up some paint to match the side skirts and the front bumper where the intercooler is, I'm sure my car is faded a bit so I was thinking maybe having my paint color matched instead of getting a factory shade?
Working on printing a radio din gauge pod bezel. I need to make it slight larger so thinking about making it taller and adding a 3rd staggered hole in it. 0 o 0 kind of look. It will be black when I am done I have several colors red is just my test color.
Selling a white 2nd gen gsx spoiler in good condition: Make an offerAlso selling tan and gray interior pieces out of my 97 GSX I have majority of all the interior panels including seat belts, center console, etc.I prefer local sale on these only. I don't have time to pack and ship things at...
This was my solution until I can save up for a nice blanket, currently spending money on well needed items. I used 4" hose clamps and kind of widened out the holes on the heat shield a bit to fit it through. I think 3.5" would work a little better though.
Since my idle increased after installing these I'm almost certain this was the reason lol. Fully warmed up my idle is around 1500, prior to install my idle was probably around 800. Could this also be due to my blown turbo though? I'm thinking about leaving the FP exhaust manifold on but changing...
