Yeah I'll have to start tearing this thing apart LOL. How's this for a beginning start, this is combination racing radiator and fan. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Radiator-Replacement-1995-1999-Mitsubishi/dp/B07G236MSG/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=eclipse+racing+radiator&qid=1554837075&s=automotive&sr=1-6

Thank you SO SO MUCH for this info, I'll save it and give to shop when I go. This seems very expensive like you say. Ball Park figures?

So Basically the current list is: 1) Bleed Coolant (is this what they call a coolant flush? 2) New Radiator Fan (can you guys provide any links to ordering a decent one for the money) 3) Head Gasket Issue (geez where do I begin with this, this is where I can get destroyed at the shop by not...

Oh geez haha, thank you. Is it possible to lose horsepower from this issue? I feel like the car is slower than it should be right now.

Thank you, sounds good. So bleed the coolant system and get a radiator fan that works to start. I'll probably have the mechanic do that in one shot. Is there a link for an affordable one? Mine is not side mounted its behind the intercooler.

I've done that. When the car over heated the first time I put coolant in because there was none left. The guy who sold it to me probably knew of this issue and kind of took off after selling it to me, which is fine or whatever I know it needed TLC and had potential. I am just getting pretty...

I think the coolant got pretty low over a month of driving, but it never leaks? The car actually never leaks, maybe a drop of oil every now and then but its in good shape, just have this 1 issue.

Yes so the coolant bubbled and got super hot. Causing steam/almost smoke coming from the engine at one point. When the car over heated white smoke came out. This happened when I turned off the heater. Car instantly over heated within 5 minutes. But with heat on I can drive it for hours with no...

Hi, the fan is actually broke in the car. Never worked when I purchased.

Yes the car is MINT! I had the body, interior done, looks everything! I don't want to get rid of the car. I'm too scared getting ripped off at a mechanic to take it anywhere near one around here! Only issue is the head gasket, car runs drives amazing.I'll pay for a DSM Tuner to come out and...

Ahh thanks for the info! I'd love to have it looked at and repaired but my patience is running low for this beauty! I'm putting her up for sale, and if I can't get any decent offers i'll just have her repaired down the road. These cars are cursed! lol jk

Yes it stops the overheating!! Temp gauge goes down and steam/bubbling completely stops. I have no idea why this happens. with the heat on car has zero overheating issues

Been having times where my car over heats when I turn off the heat in my car. I'm assuming its head gasket issues? Car runs perfect with heat is turned on in car, when the heat is turned off car will overheat and bubble the coolant and cause pressure.

When I turn my heat on it stops the overheating????

I want to, just not sure who to go with, currently not in the car scene at all. Also hoping for a warranty on the service. How much it will cost. If I should buy the parts myself etc. I have a 2 car garage with LED lighting too.

Bought this 98 GST and fixed up the body this past winter and babied it. It would over heat from time to time idling but never driving which was kind of weird and I always thought it was lacking power. The coolant bubbled and the pressured popped off the coolant backup even. I went digging for...

Yeah the car will be short lived anyways, it was overheating every now and then pushing coolant out of the car and bubbling, had to do some digging and its a blown head gasket lol. Looking to sell her or find a mechanic near Rochester ny. I don't think I can repair the head gasket myself unless...

spoke with owner, he said there's a bolt below/above the oil filter that needs a tightening once and awhile. I got the complete spec list, pretty impressive.99 GST BLOCK arp headstuds cometic head gasket bc 272/272 camshafts fic 1200 cc injectors aem fpr walbro 255 fuel pump light weight fly...

If it makes the car go faster off first gear I'd like it. I've been practicing my launching and building up turbo and it's not going great for me so far. I think this car is tuned on e85 and that's why it feels like it only has 250-300 HP. should feel fast with the hx 35 and cams/straight...

I was messing around lol but I was curious with the launch thing. thank you for the info :)

I'm not sure if it's a 6 or 7 bolt, a lot of the engine has been modified so I can't say if it's stock or not. Okay I need the top middle and lower covers?

I have a 2 step installed on my 1998 GST and when I watch youtube videos the 2 step launch is usually followed by gun shot noises/pops and fire occasionally. I'm just getting the rev bouncing at 5-5500 Rpms but no gun shot sounds or fire balls. Kind of sad about this. Is it because the car is...

I assume this is the wrong one, can anyone help me find the timing cover on amazon? https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Timing-Mitsubishi-Eclipse-EVO123/dp/B07B74WRFC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=timing+cover+mitsubishi+eclipse&qid=1554259579&s=gateway&sr=8-4 or is it this...

Leaking black stuff around the drivers side front left tire. Maybe 6 inches to the right of the drivers side tire. Thick black stuff. No idea what it is. Any ideas?

I will take some pictures, and hopefully that will help. I'll upload them here within a day or 2. see what we have.

I'm not knocking the car, it's really fun and quick when the turbo kicks in but I had a truck blow me away at a red light and I cant have that happen again. I wasent really trying to race him anyways but still. The car gets a lot of attention and I don't want it to be one of those fast looking...

I think there is some sort of exhaust/boost leak. I'm ok with it building turbo around 3500 but its around 4500-4800 right now which is a whole world of difference it feels like. Any easy way to test for boost/exhaust leaks? I just have a gut feeling after driving the car that it does feel like...

I have a hx35, and it takes forever to spool like. 4200 before I feel power. Can I change the powerband so it comes on earlier around 2000-2500 somehow?** Some gear feels like 4700 before the power kicks in **

Awesome, So lets pretend I'm a total newbie to the tuning scene ( I am :D ) and figure out where I find everything. I am totally up for buying these components and learning how to tune it myself, and would rather do it this way because nobody really cares about this car except me! I can do...

Specs Say Max 51 PSI - I have 1998 GST - What psi should these tires be at? I bought one of those cordless air inflators that I'm excited to use lolAlso I GOT TOTALLY ripped off by a local tire shop near me that charged like 800.00 for these tires. Never buying from a local shop again. Found...

no idea, is it easy to check?

Yes I'd love to do it myself. I'll get in contact with them, thank you so much. Is there a device to buy online that shows my check engine light and lets be reset that? I was messing around with the manual boost controller and when I cracked it all the to the highest level it would over heat the...

It sounds pretty bad ass at least! The car has a straight pipe and cams as well. It must be a new tune then. Dammit the only place around here charges like 500.00 I think that's outrageous,

I think the guy who had it before me was a mechanic and raced it at the track (sadly its not that fast). Once the holset hx35 kicks in it gets a little speed but it's not a super fast car I feel like. He eliminated the AC, Power Steering (the worst thing he did) and theres no sign of washer...

any generic ones off amazon or ebay? Just looking for a cheap windshield washer kit. Thank you for the link ill check out.

I need everything related to my windshield sprayer being operational again. I bought the car with everything removed. Can you send links to everything I need to get the windshield sprayer working again? There's quite a bit of space In the bottom right engine bay area near the left headlight...

That exhaust looks nice.. I think my car is straight piped, but I think theres leaks in the exhaust. That's why I wanted to start over with a new exhaust.

So I have these 2 items in my cart. For the test pipe or high flow cat which should I get?https://www.ebay.com/itm/HKS-CARBON-TI-EXHAUST-95-99-ECLIPSE-2WD-GST-TURBO/190560326166?fits=Year%3A1998%7CModel%3AEclipse%7CSubmodel%3AGST&epid=16017008826&hash=item2c5e47d216:g:4E4AAOSwsspbdR-a...

Thanks for the info! Yeah the gain in horsepower is def not worth eliminating the power steering :D Especially when you are backing up in a parking lot or your driveway. Not fun

Not sure. Any tips bringing it to a specialty place for dsms? I looked at prices for a tune and its 500? That seems a little high, do they just hook the car up to the computer and measure air/fuel ratios? What exactly is the 500 getting me, seems really high for just a service and no parts...

Yes 5-5500 K it bounces off. Not sure what engine management system the car has, but there is a switch in the car that turns on a fan (broken) and an aem fuel meter it looks like. Yes I agree 4200 seems very late for the turbo to be kicking in. There's also a cut in power between 3-4200 rpm like...

Should I replace the test pipe for high flow cat so it passes inspection and not super loud? I like a deep rumble not ricey sounding.Also are these 2 exhaust systems the same? Or is one axel back and 1 cat back...

I think currently there's just some kind of custom straight pipe on the car, pretty loud lol. I was watching youtube videos of diff exhaust sounds on the eclipse and I think my favorite was the hks carbon ti one - but the megan sounds awesome too and is a good budget one - So It sounds like I...

When I rev the car it cuts at 5-5500 RPM, I had someone tell me my car I recently purchased has a 2 step. What do I do with this thing, and what does it exactly do? Car is a 5 speed 1998 GST with holset hx-35 turbo and cams, straight pipe, theres no power until 4200 rpms when the turbo kicks in.

Looking to get a new turbo back exhaust, and want something mean sounding but not ricey sounding. Anyone give me some ideas and links to buy them?

Radiator Leak no coolant/water. No issues overheating now. Bringing to mechanic to check if there was any damage as check engine light is now on when it overheated.

It was steam I think but the engine was VERY hot.. I've never driven the car for 1-2 hours in a day before and the car was a drag car setup before. Maybe its just not meant to be driven a lot? I'm having it towed to the shop tomorrow and will bring all this good info and give it to the mechanic...

Hi, started car up today. It's running 'good' or 'ok' just gets way overheated especially after putting high ways miles on it.. I'm taking it to a very good tech and i'll update this week with what the issue was.

Hi, I stopped driving after I saw smoke. Lets hope there's a way to salvage this.
