Alright Fellas, we waited a little longer for a small lift to come in. Got it built during the week and put it to work this weekend. Today we removed the old and busted radiator and installed the new Mishimoto system. Went in smooth, we replaced the thermostat while we were in there. Pulled the...

Wow. Has it been 8 months...good thing I have another 4 years before she can drive. So pretty quickly after this work we did in Jan, I took her for a spin, and during that drive it began to get difficult to get it into 1st. I was thinking I needed to take it to the trans shop, was thinking big...

Hey Team,So we are moving along with the build steadily. Since the last update we replaced the following:1. Master Cylinder: After replacement I still have a difficult time getting the trans into 1st. I discovered that if I place it into any other gear first and leave the clutch in I can...

It does looks like it may have been replaced at some point, really appreciate the insight.

There is a large port on the front side with a plug yes. I have a second oil filter housing that had two of the 1/8 BSPT ports. One in the front and one in the rear. However the installed had only the 1/8 in the rear and where the other should have been is a stamp. I understand what you are...

Yes I saw that there should be a spot for it, however on my housing there is not port, there is a stamp in that spot which I thought was weird. The only port that is that size is where I added the T. Previously the dummy light was there and there was no gauge at all. Thanks for the info.

Figured I just reuse this old post to ask a related question to my original. I ended up installing a T fitting in order to get both units installed onto the oil pump. I have more details about the installation in my build thread. However to make it brief since the change my oil pressure light...

Just thought Id take a minute to update the build and ask a couple questions on the forum in regards to the changes.Two weekends ago we replaced the turbo exhaust seals and replaced the vacuum line. I replaced all but one of the turbo exhaust bolts, I was unable to replace the one which had...

Thanks so much Dusty! I actually do have that port it looks like. Some one rammed a screw into it. I was not sure that was what that was for as it does not appear to have a nipple like the other ports for a hose to clamp on. Thanks a lot for the pictures also. I see on your oil unit that you...

Awesome, I may have to take you up on that.

Also got the fuse box cover.. its nothing fancy but still haha..

Hey Team,So awhile back I posted the pictures of the engine bay and a couple of the guys saw that I had a T in my BOV vacuum line, and said that I should remove it. So I ordered up a bunch of new line and started to work on that on Friday. Following the diagram, I noticed that the aftermarket...

Hey guys! A couple weekends ago we swapped out the stock brakes for the PowerStop brakes. I did the drivers side and explained the process and the components along with their functions. Then Akayla did everything on the passenger side except breaking the bolts loose :). Here are some of the pics.

Okay did a little investigating on that T in the BOV tubing. It seems to go down to the waste gate actuator, not sure why that was done, there doesn't seem to be another line ethier, which is suppose to go to a waste gate solenoid. Here is the diagram I was referencing:

ECMLink, got it I will head up on it.

I have already found the post that had the OEM manuals. Downloaded them to my tablet and have been reading through them bookmarking sections. I will dig though the forums as I can and try not to be a total newbie.

I wish I knew what that meant because it sounds really cool, haha. I figured out the location for the build thread, and updated it. Thanks

Hey everyone. Here is to the beginning of something great.Picked up a red 1995 GSX as a project car for my Daughter and I. We have 3 years until she gets her license so that is the timeline for this build. We have big plans and little knowledge of DSM and turbo mechanics. I have worked on...

Clermas submitted a new DSM Profile :Like Father like...Daughter. Her Project Car my Money.Read more about this vehicle here...

Where do I post the build thread too fellas?

That sounds like a great plan. We both loved the venting sound s we would love to get it back. I heard about the MAFT and oversized MAF to get it back but haven't heard of what you are talking about. Tuning sounds like exactly what we are looking for. We have 3 years to build it and I can't stop...

Awesome we purchased both the front and the rear set. Fronts came in yesterday, rears are coming today.Also more relevant to this thread, recirculating the BOV = no more stalling (as you all knew it would). So we are good on this thread. Is there a more appropriate place to talk about the...

I have already ordered the dip stick as well haha. It bothered me also. We had some Powerstop calipers, rotors and pads come in already. Daughter is excited to get started.

Awesome thanks for the insight, I plan on replacing the exhaust manifold as the stock is pretty ugly that should take care for that.

Alright ordered the OEM bolts and figured might as well replace the seals while I have the bolts out so ordered both of those. Thanks for all the tips guys. Keep them coming.

Just bought an OEM heat shield. The turbo blanket is literaly the wrap style correct? I plan on replacing the Radaitor completely, along with the hoses. AC doesn't work currently, though I would like it to. Have not investigated that yet. Will look into replacing the turbo mount bolts, thanks...

Wish I had an answer for you. It came that way, I will investigate it for a manufacturer and let you know.

Where do you see the exhaust leak? ThanksI definitely notice an exhaust leak but haven't investigated for it yet.

Yes indeed. Here is the engine bay as it is currently. You are also correct, there is plenty to do just getting it cleaned up back to reliable. Currently the oil pressure gauge does not work, the gas level gauge is faulty, the stock radio is locked, the clutch master cylinder is leaking, brakes...

Please continue. :) And yes, of course about the clamp, just didn't have one big enough.

Hello to the community.I have recently purchased a 1995 Eclipse GSX as a project car for my daughter and I to work on for the next 3 years until she can drive. We are both excited to get started and look forward to working together as a team to turn this car from pretty much stock into a head...

Hello All,I read quite a few posts about this and so I figure I know the issue just looking for confirmation. The previous owner seemed to have "capped off" the BOV discharge line that fed back to the intake, post MAF pre Turbo. I am not very familiar with turbo setups and this is a project...
