Okay yeah that makes sense, I saw that cylinders 2,3 had oil in them but 1,4 didn’t. So it’s my pcv? Not something major?🥲 I’ll put the stock pcv back on instead of the catch can. I’ll check the valve cover and crank case pressure!

So I was driving my car like normal and it ran amazing. Then later that same day I decided about moving the catch can to a better location and tighten my belt more because it screeched when I turned and I noticed it was because my belt was loose.So there I go and changed the position of my...

Okay now I believe I have fixed the problem 😂 I put new spark plugs in, new oil, replaced the very old skinny o2 sensor, and put a new beefy one from orielly. I put my old waste gate back on which was a rev 9 eBay one and I noticed I also had a blown waste gate gasket. Replaced that and I...

So I I kind of fixed the issue, I still had the very old air sensor on my car and I changed it. I also thought while I was working on my car why not install a new part, I installed a new tial F38 waste gate and I took it for a spin and it rides fine, no more stuttering issues and my afr reads 12...

Hey guys, I have a 97 RS turbo and I’ve got my first problem since I went turbo. It ran fine and pulled good but one day when I was going to work, it was running fine and when it fully warmed up the AFR read 9 and gets to 8 sometimes! Runs stupid rich when warmed up and I don’t know why.My...

At idle it’s at 13-14, then when I’m driving it goes from 14 to 10 sometimes 9 but the goes back to 13-14, I haven’t checked on the afr when I hit boost I’ll check next time and let you know

Wassup guys I just wanted to let y’all know I solved the problem! I removed the AFPR and put the stock one back in and added an fmu, then I checked for air leaks. I noticed I was hearing a whistle noise at idle and I squeezed every vacuum hose till I heard the whistle change and turns out one of...

Thank you, I realize and know that the setup is not ideal but it’s what I see on YouTube and forums that the fmu is used more and seems to work fine. I will try the setup because I need my car running asap but later on hopefully I’ll buy and wire the megasquirt (or at least attempt)

Oohhh okay I see, thank you this helps a lot

Sorry I didn’t mean to type “what” idk why it says I said “what” 😂 but yes I understand what you’re saying and it’s very helpful thank you, I have no tune at the moment because I heard wiring the megasquirt was difficult and I need a car now to go to school and stuff so I’ll go with the fmu...

Yeah I got the kit off eBay 😂 no worries Ik the parts are fake but the fuel pump I bought separately it ran me like $115, the problem happened when I added the turbo.

This is the Build Thread for Eclipse 1997 Rs (Turbo). Reply below.

Whatyes I know what you mean by people coming at me 😂 I just wanted something fun and different, not really ideal but I already had a 420a and 4g63 cars where I live are definitely not cheap. Thank you, I’ll go by your dads setup 😂

I have a turbo Eclipse (420a) and it doesn’t run great. The AFR is reading lean and someone told me it’s cuz I don’t have an FMU but I have a AFPR (and a 255 Walbro fuel pump). Can I just put on the FMU with the AFPR or do I have to go back to a stock FPR?

Oh and I have a walbro 255 fuel pump also, I just don’t have the injectors, yeah it was really weird, I wanted to go over 3000rpm and it was like it didn’t want to and then it spiked at 5000 rpm

I’m reading 43 on the fuel pressure gauge, what fuel system is at least acceptable to get me going at low boost or a decent one?

It’s okay l, I’ve been getting a lot of hate on facebook for asking this question and idk why, I’m new to this scene and I just wanted answers. Yeah but I noticed my catch can hoses were loose and my boost controller was some what loose, and I upgraded my air intake to just a aem filter with no...

I have only a fuel pressure regulator but someone mention that I’m wrong and should have a fmu, idk much about the fmu but apparently that should solve my problem, do you think I can run my aftermarket fpr and a fmu or should I put the stock one back?

Also I read I need a megasquirt to tube it because you can’t tune a 420a. I heard they run good at 8psi without tune but I wanna run like 5-7.

No I put a fpr on the car, boost gauge and afr gauge from aem, a boost controller to lower the boost, yes ofc I have an intercooler. Boost gauge reads -18 at idle, afr reads 16-17 at idle and when I rev and drive it goes down to 15

Thanks bro this helps a lot, I asked everywhere and everyone is asking why I turbo charged a 420a 😂 I’m only running like 5 psi and stock, I checked for vacuum leaks but I couldn’t find anything. My boost gauge reads 18 at idle and when I accelerate my afr goes to 15

So I recently put a turbo on my 420a Eclipse, I started it and it struggled but turned on. The afr is reading between 16 and 17 at idle and when I turn on my ac it goes to 20 to 21. I went for a test drive and everything was normal until it didn’t want to go past 3 rpm and then out of no where...

I found that the power wire was green/red and wasn’t connected to the connector, but I don’t see and green/red wire on the connector for it it to connect toThe only ones that have pins in them is where the power windows are supposed to be but the rest don’t have pins, I’m guessing it’s for a...

I recently bought some doors for like 25 bucks that had power windows and my RS has manual windows. I put them on, connected everything, and even put a relay on the bottom of the dash that powers windows, but I still get no power. I checked the fuses and I get nothing.Oh and I even replaced...

I own a 97 Eclipse RS and I’ve had it for 2 years now. I want to make the car faster and all cuz I got bored of how, well slow, it is and I wanna make it faster. I know it’s better to get a GST or GSX but I’ve always wanted to turbo a car and keep the RS I got.My direction is to turbo it but...

So one day I turned on my car and it sound like it was screaming super loud so I changed the serpentine belt and the alternator belt and it’s quite now but when I turn it all the way to any side the belt squeaks loud for like 5 secs then goes away, what do I do??

I actually fixed the coolant issue but now I have a gas issue, its when I’m driving I smell it coming from the front and the code says p0455 and that the engine is lean :(

Okay thanks you, I found the problem tho! But I have a new issue😔 so I fixed the coolant thing, the issue was that I thought I had a blown head gasket because my coolant turned into this milky, clay thing and I was curious where all my coolant went and I found a large hole in my hoses, it was...

Would this also get rid of the gas smell or is that sum else? Oh and would I also have to resurface my head?

I own a 1997 eclipse rs, I previously owned automatic gs that I had for a year and when I drove it it would smell like gas but wouldn’t let out white smoke, then I went to a manual rs and this one also smelled like gas so I thought I was a regular eclipse thing.A year goes by and a little...

Thank you very much, you’re awesome man.

My 1997 Eclipse RS came with the normal features, not the GS ones, but I normally don’t even use the features.I noticed that in my RS there is a button I have never seen before and the wires aren’t connected to anything? It was under my steering wheel to the right. Anyone know what it's for?

I have done this and nothing happened, I don’t know if I did it right but I connected a wire to the chassis and into the metal frame for the radio and nothing happened. But I was checking if my wires had power and my ignition wire fuse keeps going bad, I replaced that one and the radio one 3...

I will try following and see where my ground is, I can’t find my ground or know what it looks like. I know it’s a black cable but before it was working I didn’t see a black cable either but I will see what cable is touching metal tomorrow in the morning ,thank you.

I don’t see any wire connecting any metal, that’s how it was when it was working but I will look closely, thank you.

How did you know it was a bad ground? I have this situation with my car at the moment but recently it just turned off and never came on.

I’ve checked everything and even under the center console and I can’t see what’s wrong, I even tried hooking up the old single din radio (not factory) and the radio did not come on either.

I checked them and they were all fine :(

Thanks for the help I am currently looking at the wires, I took off the center console and I can’t seem to find any problems. There were some cables that were connected to nothing they looked like cables for a subwoofer and I see a little black cable I haven’t seen before where the radio would...

I have a 1997 eclipse rs with a radio problem :( my eclipse came with a single din radio and it was working perfectly fine, I then switched it to a double din and it was also working perfectly fine but then one day my shifter went loose from inside the center console. I ended up fixing it and my...
