Your turbo would need special mechanical seals in a draw through setup and there aren't many options out there. Blow through would be ok for a drag application but your driveability goes to hell. A good blow through carb from CSU or someone comparable will run you a grand. Just like everyone...

I just went to replace my subframe bushings and found 12 rust holes...must be a sign, these are beautiful.

If the turbo is that messed up, that tells me you had damage in your engine first, then the trash went through the bearings in the turbo. Tear down your engine, get it all cleaned up and rebuilt, rebuild the turbo, and take care of it all.

Sent you a PM

Some pics would help us understand exactly what you're looking at.

I wish there were more around here. If there were a bunch around here, it would be cool to go on dsm cruises (instead of seeing corvette cruises every week). I mean yeah, I have the only one and it grabs a little attention, but no one can relate to anything and I can't talk with ppl that have...

I'm the only dsm guy within an hour of me man. I think I'm the only auto awd within a 3h radius of me lol. Also, how's my old Injen intake treating you??

Incredible work guys congratulations! Huge numbers, Boostin' FTW!

By 90 TSI I obviously meant laser....smh

Bringing back an old thread! I'm in Shelbyville with a 98 GSX, and I have a buddy 30min away from me in Sullivan with a 90 TSI and an 03 Evo. Mines coming completely apart soon so I can get rid of all the rust, and I work for a turbo company so I'm probably going to spec out the biggest ball...

I don't really see how this applies. The 2 vs 4 stroke argument came about because 4 strokes of nearly twice the displacement were allowed to compete against the 2 strokes. That's why the classes went away from 125 and 250 designation. 2 stroke is always way more powerful that a 4 stroke of the...

Went out and played around with the car a little bit today to remember what I did to get it going. You need to put the rom metadata in your ECUFlash directory, which is located in:Windows C: > Program Files (x86) > OpenECU > EcuFlash > rommetadata > mitsubishi > eclipseI have the CeddyMods...

I have a 98 auto as well and use ECUFlash. It's been a while but I think I (at least used to) get the same message, and just hit next and continued on. I saved the factory ROM, but also saved the ROM on Ceddy's website at that time. I will plug in tomorrow and get some pics.

You can also go speed density using the Evo 8 ECU without much problem. There's a patch download for that: http://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ecuflash/402994-links-jcsbanks-speed-density-patches.html Swap out the MDP sensor with a MAP sensor, and remove the MAF from the CAI.Maybe this should go...

Bringing up a very old thread here. Has anybody tried this?? I was looking into this, but am not certain how this would be wired up so that it would communicate with the TCM to not only to let the TCM do its job automatically, but also to take advantage of features like boost by gear. Anybody?

Thanks! I took off of work today to get some other little projects finished and rearrange the garage to allow for my drag car and the eclipse to fit in, with enough room left to fit our dd's in for oil changes and maintenance. It will likely take more than one day, unfortunately. Once I get it...

Oh you already HAVE a 420a. I am sorry I misinterpreted what you were saying.I could probably rally one up for you. I'm in Central IL though. Kind of a long way. PM me and we can talk about that.

Why don't you take your time and get a 4g63 fwd or awd? I have found fwd gst's for $800-1200. There were a couple GSX's around here for around $1000 over a year ago but they were in pieces.

I already posted pics in the newbie forum, but I wanted to start this thread. I will be stripping this car down and doing and restoring it. Has lots of rust, high idle problem and runs rich, and transmission weird transmission problems. Goal is to make a reliable setup, and making a few...

I agree! I was thinking about changing the color to white but I have almost instantly become attached to it. It will stay this color. Hopefully I will be taking it all apart soon, and will start my restoration thread. I am 'excited' to see what I have in store for me. I took it for a drive...

Here's a side pic. Don't mind the Cummins in the background. Water pump went out on it yesterday while I was picking up the car. If it's not one thing, it's another...

Well, here it is! Looks can be deceiving! Has a high idle problem, shutter shift between 2-3, lots of rust, but I'm excited to work out the kinks! My boy loves the new 'fast car' as he calls it haha.

Thanks for havin me! If that Talon was completely stock, unmolested, with little to no rust that is a really good deal no doubt. This car did not have an lsd on it, but I had been looking for a car for a while and had just located an lsd diff complete for $130 shipped to my door. Amazing deal; I...

Ha. I was with my other half when we looked at mine. She said no at first. Said the kid inside me wants it no matter what but the responsible 29 year old parent says "you have too many projects"! So I talked to her about it for a while and went over the costs, and went over the features that...

This car was up for 4k and I offered him 2.5k and he took it. A lot of times you just don't know what you're getting when you get these cars; you kinda have to prepare for the worst. A couple if my Evo buddies said that finding a running driving auto gsx in stock form was a "unicorn" as it is...

Well, I got the car. Has a few more rust spots than anticipated. The radiator core support is literally rusted in half, strut tower rust goes pretty well through, sunroof rust, rust around the windshield (will require me to pull the windshield), hatch lid rust, rear fender and front quarter...

Going to look at one this weekend. Has some strut tower rust and some other small issues, no big deal. Great starter car!

Agreed, sir! I am looking for an awd automatic trans 2g gsx or tsi. Would prefer to get one that's all together, but am open to ones that have issues. I'm on the lookout. Most of my time around dsm's has been working on a couple of my friends evo's. I have wanted a 2g since I was a kid, time to...

That's awesome. Old muscle rocks. I have a 71 Demon I'm redoing. It was an 11sec NA street car, but I'm going to completely restore it and turbocharge the 340 in it. I will have my work cut out for me when I get a DSM on top of that.

I've already seen some really cool builds on here. Looks like I have lots to learn; I'm from the carbureted world!

I will be on here often looking for a 2g auto, and reading about builds!

Thank you everyone for the welcome!

Hello everyone, this is my first post on Tuners. I have been around Evos and older DSMs, and I have decided to start my search for a 2g Eclipse or Talon. Guess I have to post 29 more times before I can do anything on here though.
