Had time today so I made the wires for the new PDC fuse/relay panel.
I started to label the actual wires from the OEM fuse box to my understanding so I know what to go back to before I chop the wires.
The fuse/relay panel came in today. Went with this 96 position PDC. Fits micro relays and mini fuses and a lot more compact at about (L:6.75” 4,W:3.50”, D:2.75”). I was ready to hammer into it this weekend but I forgot to buy the crimp tool for these female open barrel terminals. So we can just...
Hey guys, I never liked how the engine bay looked with all the nasty wire, and decided to move the fuse box to the interior. This will clear up space for when I install Megasquirt & turbo the car in the future. I feel like it would be good to document this and make it a thread to possibly help...
It is a Momo aftermarket steering wheel. As for the horn it’s a simple clip into the wheel. I believe I got it from eBay. Search “DSM Horn button” or “VR4 horn button” and look for the seller on there
Hello fellow DSM folks. I wanted to post this thread to show how to wire the horn with an aftermarket steering wheel without getting the wires all tangled up inside the hub. Hope this helps other people out with the photos and video I took!Tools needed :
-18 AWG stranded Wire
-Heat Shrink...
So I replaced my transmission and clutch and realized that I should just replace the rear main seal (didn’t’ have a leak, just wanted to replace it) since it’s already out. When I inspected the old one it was sitting in all the way pushed up against in the back so that’s how I installed the new...
Ok, all I need are the bearings and synchros or do I need anything else? Also how long did it take to ship? I believe my input shaft bearing went out and my 3rd gear synchro is going out as well. I changed the interior bushings so I believe it would be the input shaft bushing thats bad.
Does anyone have any idea where to get a manual transmission for the 420a or any place that still has a rebuild kit. Called some big transmission rebuild shops and they say that if a part is missing then they cant sell at all or that most parts are obsolete. Only place I see that looks like they...
My stock drivers door handle finally broke and I so I’m replacing both sides today and ran into a problem. When trying to lock the door it is super hard and feels like I’ll break it if I keep trying and won’t close. Any help?
Yes, I will be getting one. MS3 from DIYAUTOTUNE is about the same price, should I just get the MS3 gold box then?https://www.efisource.com/wp/shop/ms3-goldbox-with-8ft-pigtail/
Yeah, but I'm going to be running a standalone ecu so I would need an external voltage regulator.

True, the voltage regulator is inside the ECU. If it makes you feel any better, you can get a...
No I don't have one yet. Just saving extra money before I get anything else. Want to buy the MS3 first though since I know it takes them time to make it and ship it out. Let me know what else I might need when going this 420a turbo route.
Ok, So would 445cc be fine with 7psi stock block? and then if I upgrade to rebuild block with forged internals, would I still be able to run the 445cc's or would I have to upgrade?LOLO forgot about that but I just updated list.
Also does my list look pretty much complete on what I'll need...
Alright so I’ve pretty much been doing research for about a year now and understanding what a turbo is and how it works. So I have stock internals since it’s a new rebuilt engine. Saw that FMU & FCD is like almost $300 so might as well do it right. I am saving up right now for MS3 $900 and then...
This is how it looks under the hood with all that up and down play. It’s like the neutral won’t go back to the actual center and move a lot up and down in neutral.

So, I've been having this problem for a while now and just got tired of it. I replaced all bushings and greased in the shifter knob base and it eliminated all the loose play while in gear but it always is super loose in neutral while wiggle side to side and up and down a lot and then feels like...
Yes thank you very much I plugged it.niceeee I had a question where did you mount yours ? Mines wiggles a little bit even though all clamps are tight.Yes, I know. Although it doesn’t really rain much where I’m from. But I’ll still keep a look out. Thanks for the information.
I have a 1998 Eclipse RS I recently bought a 420a cold air intake and there is the hose for the top but there’s also another small open tube at the bottom pipe. Is it supposed to be open or am I supposed to close it? Do I attach a plug in there to prevent it from releasing and sucking air?I...
Here to finally update the Eclipse. I’ve been super busy with school lately so haven’t had much time to do anything. So I received my BC Coilovers and I finally added them. Here are the pics for the install which was about a 1.5 inch drop for the front and rear. Then I lowered it about another...
Ok, thank you. New ones can come out to like $600 for all 6 pieces depending if they have them at some dealerships. What do you think about the condition of these? Should I buy them or wait until someone has a better offering?
Does anyone have the part # or if they are discontinued? Or if anyone is willing to sell any they have in good condition? I’ve been trying to find them for a couple of months now. Local junkyards crushed the sides, tried fb & OfferUp but they only intend on selling the car as a whole and I can’t...
Hello everyone, my names Andres and I recently fixed up my dads old 2G Eclipse that he left sitting in the driveway after he graduated from high school which was about 20 years ago. We pulled the engine and rebuilt it then painted it. Right now I am getting BC Coilovers and upgrading the...
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS and I’m currently debating if I should get a rebuilt engine since they don’t make new ones anymore or should I get a new car ? What’s the differences between a new and rebuilt engine?
Ok so we torqued the intake manifold and stuff connected to the engine to the right specs and now the smoke is no longer coming out it’s perfect. But now there is white smoke coming from tailpipe not too much but sorta some and wondering if it could be old gas burning off or something? Thank you...
My dad took a video and waiting for him to send it so might be a while but there’s like smoke coming from like in between the engine and exhaust manifold after a while but still won’t overheat just smells. Also there’s nothing leaking to the floor so not too sure what it might be. We also did...
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2.0L DOHC 4C Non-Turbo it has been sitting in my driveway for years and been idle. We just started a month ago and finished like 3 days ago; we replaced the water pump, timing belts, head gasket, replaced valve seals, new thermostat, new radiator cap, and a...
