just something I found fooling around with my cars ac/heat control. If your cable is broke or not functioning properly like mine ex. Your car only blows hot or cold or in the middle because your knob won't change the blend door. As a temp fix you can actually just drop the glove box and the...
Well I think I may go a whole different direction just talked to spencer my local machinest and he is going to want an upwards of 1800 for just a factory build. So with this being said I may just keep this car for parts around. After I post this I'm going to get on Craigslist and find something...
Yeah I don't get offended easily but had to draw the line somewhere. But for right now I'm going to have this engine rebuilt I'm stuck between a factory rebuild and a mild build won't know till the machine shop opens in a couple hours I'm defenitly trying to keep the cost low for something so...
Yeah I'm over the argument with this guy he apparently has nothing better to do but hijack my thread with harassment. Any way starting a new build thread as I'm sure this should no longer be posted here now that it's an official build.
Lol what is your deal? First off I was giving a list of real life realistic options that one could do with a given situation. Secondly I'm by no means younger generation. I'm a late 20s mold technician at Toyota and a father of 3. Third of which I'm a self proclaimed used car salesman/modder in...
Lol pretty sure I was the unsuspecting buyer IMO. But anyways like I said engine is out and got the head off will be sending the block to machine shop tomorrow hopefully I can keep this under 800 from build to install. Going back to oem specs will be boosting from there. Nothing serious hoping...
I've got it about half way out taking a break lol been working on it all morning. I found 8:1 weisco pistons on eBay for 589 shipped and eagle h beams for 349 with a crank regrind and some good bearing I think that's all I'm going to do the bottom end. Planing to leave the head alone too minus a...
Won't be a 420a will be a complete gsx swap.I'm biting the bullet and pulling the engine today for a tear down. Going to be building for around 10-15 lbs of boost. Any recommendations on parts?
I'm contemplating an awd swap. I could probably get by without swaping the rear hatch pan by drilling the holes and mounting a fuel cell in the hatch. Still doing research but there is so many different methods and opinions. I wish I could find a true build thread on here.I'm not feeling...
So yesterday I replaced my throttle cable and gas pedal and took it for a good drive and parked it for the night. This morning I go out and was going to fix the blend door (heater and air cable broke) as well as do a tune up, change the fluids and do all the maintenance it needed. So I start it...
1. Remove throttle cable end from throttle plate by turning it clockwise to fully open position and sliding it out of its mounting hole.2. Remove 2 10mm bolts from throttle cable bracket located directly behind the fuel rail on the throttle body.3. Slide throttle cable out of its mounting...
Well the interior pretty has been much sun baked all of the color from the panels other than the dash and the headliner is garbage but, other than that the shell is pretty damn clean and 98% rust free and it has been treated good with a fresh rebuild from a local mechanic where I bought the car...
Still not sure what I'm doing for engine management yet.
I've got a 1g garret already.
I'm hoping to find a used manifold on here.
The rest will just be fab work.
Speaking of fab work I'll also be cutting the roof off of this one for a targa conversion after I get my strut braces and sub frame...
Haha thanks! Yeah I posted here last year when I finally paid the old man for his 97 gs that was supposedly already mine since I was like 16 but he could never find the title and didn't want to go through the trouble of getting another one. So I've had a pretty late start. Will be doing a tech...
Had the 91 & 93 in high school eventually junked the 91 as it was mainly a parts car then traded the 93 with 2k for the 96 that I sold shortly after I had my son a few years ago then I bought a 95 rs last year that I had planned to turbo but then the seller never produced the title so sold it...
hey all,Figured I'd introduce myself.
The names fryboy.
Not a noob by any means.
Have had a 91 & 93 gst, 96 gsx, 95 rs and have just bought another 95 rs that I plan to build from the ground up.
Well it took me a couple of hours all together but I got it read altho I'm fairly positive ive ran into it a couple times a couple years ago but its always nice to brush up. But that's about what I'm looking for as I'm going to have to hack into the shell to make modifications anyway because I...
Great write up are there other threads like it? I would absolutely love to do a build thread for you guys I'm actually on vacation next month for 2 weeks so if I can compile enough info and make a selection I'd like to get started then possibly even make a few videos of course edit out the...
Yeah my dad got it on a trade a long time ago I got it when I turned 16 but I already had a ls1 camaro and just used the eclipse to beat around the block in. Ive put this car through hell and back I'm looking to really give it a new life the 4g63 swap seems to be very common and the 420a turboed...
Thanks for the welcome and Yes sir pretty standard mill with the bonus of a 5 spd. I am here for insight into swaps or possibility of a turbo set up for the 420a. Ive heard a lot of bashing but I've had the damn thing 12 years and you can't break it. It currently reads 193xxx and still runs like...
Hey guys fryboy here been poking around this website for a few years now but just now got around to making an account. Ive got a 97 eclipse that I plan to do something with its been sitting for quite a few years now but none the less it will start up and run with some new gas and a battery any...
