Thanks for the directions, I put the aftermarket fuel pressure regulator on it and it runs absolutely perfect and building 6psi of boost on a 3lb spring in the wastegate! Thanks for helping man!
Yes, finally got around to putting it back on, now it runs absolutely perfect and building 6psi of boost on a 3lb spring in the wastegate! Thanks for the help, I really needed it!!
I fixed one of the biggest problems, it came with a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator in the trunk that wasn’t ever mounted... I mounted it and hooked the lines up, and now the car runs absolutely perfect and 6psi of boost... besides the front motor mount I think it’s ready to get back to...
I gotta 99 eclipse gs turbo swapped... one of my main(a lot of problems) problems with the car is it has a very big lag between boosting and when it hits the wastegate(1/3 throttle)... I’m not sure what kind of turbo but I do know it’s got a k&n air filter, and a eBay 38mm wastegate with a 3lb...
The car runs decent, it just doesn’t like to idle that well when it’s cold, and if you’re driving it and push the clutch in the motor might die every once in a while unless you give it a little gas as soon as you push the clutch in
Alrighty, so I found out the boost line is running into a T between the blow off valve and the right hose on the back of the motor, I took it off and blew through it and sucked through it, it doesn’t have a leak at all, and I got to looking and found out the fuel pressure gauge wasn’t hooked up...
2psi more of boost but doesn’t seem to run much better than it already did, I don’t have a clue what it could be now. I run 93 octane in it as well, so does that mean it could be too rich or too lean for gas? I’m not sure about anything that’s been done too it but I did have to replace the old...
I put the wastegate vacuum line in the center, blocked off the left one, and the right one is connected to the blow off valve, it’s boosting 3psi now and idling around 8psi vacuum (950rpms)
I’m only 17, I just got my birth certificate and social security card yesterday in the mail, I’m going today to try to get my permit, so I won’t be driving it at all for atleast 6+ months, it’s only drove on the weekends for about 50 miles
the catch can hasn’t been mounted yet, it was laying down inside the engine bay and I put it up there to take pictures, but I’ll try to mount it somewhere else when I get the vacuum lines figured out, thanks for the help
I recently bought a 99 eclipse GS that’s got a 420A motor that’s been turboed, I bought a 38mm external wastegate (6psi spring)and not really sure how to run the vacuum lines on it, as of right now it’s onlu pushing 1psi of boost and idles around -10 vacuum... I don’t have a clue what’s been...
