I have installed my rebuilt head on my car and the cams look to be the same on both sides. I thought that they should be 180 out. I had a friend check on it and this is what he found out!"I just got done looking at some pictures of the different neon dohc heads with their cams installed...
I am going to buy some o-rings and install the injectors again. Has anyone elses injectors ever not sealed right? Someone told me that there might be to much gas going out of the fuel rail witch is causes the leak. Why would it do that? I really need some help does anyone have any advice?
I have rebuilt my engine, new pistons, water pump,head gasket, lighter pulley, Hotshot header, crank scraper, hotter coil, new wires and plugs. I thought I was completely ready for the car to be started. When I turned the key to pressureize the gas lines, well, gas started spraying out of the...
I have a 1997 eclipse n/t. I have the head and of course the intake manifolds off of the car. Someone told me I could port everything and it would help with more power. I have a dremel tool and I was wondering what I needed to buy that would work the best and what I need to port and how much...
Do you know any site that could give me each step in putting my engine back together. I have a book but everything is spread out and it doesn't explain anything very well. Anything that you could tell me would help.
I put enough torgue on it that if it was going to move it would have. First I set the crank to the arrow that was straigth up and down. Then I put both cams where the marks pointed directly at each other just like the book said. The rocker sliped I don't know when. They must have when I was...
I have been rebuilding the engine on my daily driver. It is a 97 n/t. I have the new pistons in. I put the head on. I lined up all of the timing marks. Then I tightened the cams down. When I went to rotate the crank it moved a little bit but when it was going to be top dead center again it...
I pulled my cat and put a Straight pipe and before I could barley even get a chirp in second gear now I do it all of the time with out even trying. I was told the backpressure thing was not true. All I know is that my car is alot louder and more powerful without the CAT.
I can't get my upstream O2 sensor out of the down pipe. I even went to an exhaust place in town and they can't get it out! They said I would have to get a new one. I need it out to put in my new hotshot header. A new sensor is $120 at least. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get my...
I have a 1997 I had a problem getting mine off as well. I was told you can also heat it up and it might come off easier. Also take a hammer and tap on it ever once in a while. i actually broke the pulley taking mine off. Oh well now I have a ligthter one :thumb:
I have a 1997 RS. I am rebuilding the engine right now. I have cold air intake, hotspot headers, test pipe, boarded throttle body, lighter underdrive pulley, screamin demon coil, crank scaper, new plugs and wires, will the bigger turbo injectors help my power!! Will they do anything? What...
I didn't have the right kind of pulley puller. I only had two prongs and should have had three. I also had to drop my engine about 3". I bought one off of ebay. I think Japan racing? Lots of companys make it. Mine cost $67.00. It is supposed to add 6 to 8 HP. I haven't drove with it on...
I had to borrow a pulley puller and I still broke the pulley so I went with a new lighter pulley. It is going to be sick. Since you already have it off why not do the same thing?
Do you know any good site to purchase pistons from. I need cheap ones!! Maybe a used junk website? I really don' t care. As long as I can have my car on the road again. Thanks
I have a 1997 eclipse N/T RS. I need to replace one of the pistons. I don't have very much money. I have a chance to buy some used 1992 turbo pistons. I know we have different engine but I was wondering if anyone new if that would work. Also do you know where I can buy just one piston for...
I was told it would give my car 10 horse. Mine is a 4-2-1. It will help in the low end put not as much for the top end. That is what I was told at least. The greddy 4-1 is better for top end!!
I have basically the same car. I had the same thing happen. I replaced the gaskets then my car started making a taking noise. Some how I bent a valve. I am in the middle of taking the head off. It sucks. Good luck
I am normally a fool for that kind of stuff. I bought some and I love the look. I put red lights in there so when you drive at night it gives it a unique look. It is very simple. Take a screw out of the hood. Then go to the store and buy one the same size but about an inch longer. then...
the head is off because I was afraid that I might have either bent a valve or cracked a piston. I did bend a valve. I was going to replace that valve. I don't have alot of money. I have already purchased a light underdrive pulley anything else I can do while I have the head off. Should I...
That sucks the ebay guy lied to me!! How about aftermarket cam gears. Have you heard of Bomz before. Should I try to install the cams anyway and see if they will work just in case or should I just give up on the idea?
I have a 1997 ecipse N/T. I bought some turbo cams from a 1992tubo eclise. The car only had 20,000 miles on it. I just couldn't pass it up. I got them for $25. The guy said I could put them in my car. I have a couple of questions. First is that a possible change and 2nd I want to buy some...
I have a 1997 eclipse N/T. I bought some turbo cams from a 1992 eclipse. Can I switch them out?? The guy I bought them from said I could. How about cam gears? I am going to buy some after market ones. I am thinking about going with bomz. Should I buy the gears for a 1992 turbo cam or for...
Someone told me to pull off the oil pan and see if anything looked out of wack. Well it was a pain but I did that last night. The oil didn't have any metal in it (ruling out a thrown rod) Nothing else seemed to be messing. Does anyone have any suggestions to what I need to do in order to...
I just changed my oil a week before. I have always had an oil leak. Once about 3 months when I replaced my oil filter the old gasket stayed up there. I drove about 5 miles then the oil light came on. I pulled over and all of my oil was gone. I called and had someone go to walmart and i...
I was driving home Saturday and all of a sudden I heard a knocking noise, then I started to lose power! Before I could get stopped the noise got louder. The noise sounded like it was in the engine and when I gave it gas the ticking/knocking got louder. I did a compresion test on all of the...
