Story time: so as many of you know this eclipse came from a tow yard I have a contract with. I’m their mechanic, and as an added bonus I have first dibs on cars that get abandon, this eclipse was a rotation pull, meaning police called them to take it away after the kid that was driving it got...

So I was at the local pick and pull and saw on here that you can fit a Toyota celica seat in without to much work, well it was pretty hard to grind those rivets out and then i welded the brackets from the eclipse seat onto the new seat, looks awesome, and those celica seats really are...

Haha then you’d have a yard full here, I do diesel mechanics and do side jobs for a bunch of tow lots, they usually just send all the cars that are unclaimed you the scrap yard for like 100$ it’s not hard to tell them you’ll haul it then it’s outa the way for them.

I’m still hoping to get the one the tow company has, but holidays set me back and this one was free, and I have bad self control when it comes to eclipses, so I’ve adopted this one in the mean time, it was left at a repair shop since 2010. It’s super clean and only has 140k, despite my wife...

Good to hear, welcome back, I’m new hear and it’s good to have people come back!

Hey budy I should be getting my 420a soon and I’m always here lurking if u wanna chat, I’ve been borderline pestering this guy for my eclipse, we are waiting for the mechanic Lien to come in the mail saying that he’s the new owner before I send him my 200$$ for the car. It was towed from an...

I’m also curious about this I want to do away with they key all together and go with a couple switches instead for Fuel pump, ecu, etc, to start the car

Awe man, well I’ll have to find some and get them to join up!

Just checking in to see who’s around I’m newish to the area, I’m about 40 min north of Wilmington, I’ll be getting my 2g rs pretty soon, It would be cool to meet some friends with similar interests

You should check out the article I linked, it explains a simple way to utilize the vgt, I thought It was pretty clever they use a spring to hold it in the closed position and as the boost builds up it over powers the spring, it’s just a trial and error finding a good spring tension for your...

So after checking out your link and doing some more research I stumbled upon this article, http://www.stavtech.co.uk/home/the-ultimate-holset-turbo-guide-probably It’s a good read and pretty much explains how to rig up a holset vgt on your car, seems easy and seems almost free using a spring and...

Anyway so after doing some looking around most of the turbos on newer semis are vgt, I’ll keep my eyes open for the ones requested, but I’m more interested in if we can get a vgt to work on our cars, now to my understanding the computer on the truck utilizes the onboard stored air to work the...

Woot woot finally, sorry about that still new to navigating around. Thanks for the help!

Sorry guys I don’t know how to fix this for some reason no one can post

So I have access to turbos of all different sizes, I work at a salvage yard for semi trucks, so their are turbos of all sizes here, garret, holset, paccar, etc now my question is how useable are these turbos in our applications, they range in size and I’m not to knowledgeable on them but I...

Oh and one more question for you guys if I want to ask more questions that I’m not clear on within the community where do I post it, I’ll I’ve found is this welcome board not sure if this is the place, this is my first forum account ever, I usually just lurk

That sounds like a good idea thankfully I’m in a small backwoods county that has no emissions standards or testing, so straight pipe unless it’s gunna sound to Ricey, what size pipe where you thinking? And Like you said I don’t want to have to replace a bunch of stuff and end up doing it twice...

I’m going to restore it to the best of my ability, I really don’t have much experience with performance modding, but if you have any tips about where I should start I’d be happy to have a starting point, I want to turbo down the road after it’s sound and running good, I have a brand new car for...

I have always admired the eclipse, such a good looking car with curves in all the right places, I’ve been searching high and low for a gsx, the 4g63, all 4 to the ground, limitless potential, at some point I’ll have one, as of now I’m a diesel mechanic, have been only doing it for a year or so...
