I recently did the eclipse conversion on my 95 Talon and I dont have brake lights. I found out that I need to wire them differently so the blinker runs just the middle bulb in each light, and the brake light is run off the centermost bulb in each light... but is there any way to wire them up...

Alright guys.Fist of all, before you reply Im going to set up a few rules: 1) NO "well my car did this against this car" 2) NO in theory.... 3) NO bashing on the car you DONT haveI know all about the drivetrain loss of the awd, and basicially I want to know how much of a difference...

I figured out how to wire them :thumb:I've still got to get some connectors and a resistor, but I got it to work earlier... I'll post a tech article tomorrow sometime.

I used the same brackets the talon bumper uses.. just drilled out where it was attached to the body and moved the sides and the center peice up. Worked great for me.

Ha.. yeah. I even checked the date 4-1, wow.. pretty recent. Didnt even think to look at the year. :notgood:Anyways... I was wondering if anyone wanted to try to get a league going.If anyones interested league ID is 337113 and password is 123456. Live draft is 4/12 at 11:00pm EST, but you...

I tried to join... got an error message from yahoo."• This league is not registered in this game. (Error #272)"???

Did you mess with the ECU wiring, or move your spark plug wires around?

its for a 6 bolt... if it makes a difference.

I finished assembling my engine this weekend, got the engine back in the car, everythings bolted up and I was looking through a box that had my thermostat housing gaskets in it and found the metal ring that is supposed to go on the inside of the main seal. When I installed the seal, I used RTV...

Will there be enough pressure to circulate the water through?

I ran into a problem installing a 16g on my 6 bolt block, with a 2g head, water pipe, and thermostat housing. The drain still hooks up to the water pipe ok, but I need to find another feed line because I dont have the feed from the block. Now I see why I should have used a 1g water pipe. Do...

I ended up getting the exhaust manifold studs at autozone... around $10 for the studs and nuts for them, much better than the $30 + shipping slowboy wanted for them, and ordered the flywheel and turbo bolts from mitsu. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys.. I just did the timing belt on my new engine, but I just wanted to be sure I have the marks lined up correctly. Im almost positive I do, but I dont want to have to do everying over again once the engines back in the car. Does it look ok?

Hey guys... I need to pick up some stainless turbo and exhaust studs sometime soon. I was lookin around online and I figured it would cost me over $100 for the exhaust, turbo, and flywheel bolts.. which I think its a little outragous.I know I can pick up the turbo studs and probably the...

Alright, thanks guys. I was afraid that the vinyl might be to heavy, but I thought it would look pretty cool if it held up ok. Anyways, I got some Vinyl to do my visors and I'll just do the headliner over with actual headliner material. The local textile here doesnt have it, but I'm sure I...

I'm going to be doing my headliner over in black sometime this weekend- I did my last eclipse's headliner with felt, but I think it looks cheap now. I was thinking maybe vinyl, but I dont know how easy that would be to work with... and if it would be too "shiny" for the roof. Just wondering...

Good luck :thumb:Let us know.

The lower the boost, the louder it will be.

Actually, one of the reasons I want to paint my car grey is becasue I like the IS300 color, I just want something darker than that.Anyways, I've made up my mind. So check back for picstures in a few weeks :thumb:Thanks guys. -Nick

Are you using the right flywheel?AWD and FWD's have different flyhweels.. and different starters.

Hey guys..I've been going back and forth about what color to paint my 2g, and I have to make a decision by next week. I had originally wanted to paint if the grey color of the MR Evo, but I didn't like how it looked in the light- it wasn't dark enough for me.So, I've narrowed it down to...

He's lying to you or hes incompetent.There is nothing more complicated about dropping in a 6 bolt motor than a 7 bolt motor, the only thing you might have a problem with is the motor mount bracket (where it bolts to the block). You will need to splice your 1g cam angle sensor with your 2g...

The upper radiator hose will work for either thermostat housing, the lower one is the one that is different. I'm not sure which is longer.. but they are molded differently.The lower hose for the 2g goes into the thermostat housing, whereas the lower hose for the 1g comes directly off the...

No, the 1g water neck & thermostat housing only works with the 1g waterpipe.You can put a 2g thermohousing & waterpipe onto a 1g motor, and a 1g thermo housing and waterpipe onto a 2g.You just need to be sure you have the same generations of waterpipe and thermo housing.So, to answer...

In my opinion, easiest way would be to completely assemble the engine, and install that with the tranny bolted to it. A suggusting I got from alot of people was to hoist the front end of you car up 3 feet, slide the engine and tranny under it, and then lower the engine bay onto the engine...

It will seal fine, get the .040 overbore one.

No.As far as I've seen, almost all headgaskets will be ok until the bore gets larger than .040 over, at which point you're doing to have difficulty finding a set of pistons.

I've been ripped off on line, just like most of you probably have... but a unique opportunity presented itself this weekend, and I am curious how you guys would handle it.I've been ripped off maybe 3 or 4 times in 2 years of buying car parts on line, and usually the person just dissapears...

No, you don't need to get a new block. If your engines to the point where it needs to be resleaved, find a used block for sale locally.If your going to do a rebuild, you'll find that all aftermarket (and mitsu) pistons come in stock bore, .020, .030, .040 overbore sizes. You'll have a...

Why not try eBay, or the classifieds here?I dont think anyone makes "custom" centers, its usually done by the owner of the car. You're going to have to but some letters somewhere and make is say what you want it to, find a decal of what you want it to say on eBay, or if it comes to it...

Yep, retorque to that then.Though my ARP's said 80ft/lbs :confused: I guess an extra ft/lb. won't matter.-Nick

Exactly.You dont have much more to worry about with your 1g 7 bolt than you would with a 6 bolt, other than torquing that 7th flywheel bolt.

Your positive you hooked up the wastegate up correctly?If it were set back to stock, you should only boost 10ish psi, and probably creep up to 16psi or so, but theres no reason you would creep all the way up to 30psi at just 4200 rpms.First thing I would do is check to be sure the...

See if you have any fluid in your reservoir for the master cylinder... sounds like either the Master or Slave cylinder went on you, or maybe your clutch line rusted out somewhere.My slave went when the tranny was in first gear, and my clutch was basically useless. I ended up stalling...

What head bolts/studs are you using?If ARPs, are you using moly lube or 30 weight oil on the threads?

When I had some installed on my gs, I mounted the brackets into the bottom of the "cargo" area on the trunk, and just put some rubber caps on the inside of the trunk to cover up where the screws came through the bottom. And I think I ended up mounted the front using the plastic splash gaurds...

Ok..So your going to need to buy a Translator (for a 2g) and a 3" GM MAS.Its going to cost you around $250 to vent your BOV.. it is really worth it? Plus your going to need to hack your UICP in order to make room for the MAF, just something to think about.-Nick

Did the ECU tell you what cylinder was having the issue?A real quick way to tell if its your injector or not would be to switch the injector in question from the bad cylinder to a good one and see if the ECU follows it. If it does, you know its your injector, if it doesn't theres...

Your going to need a new tensioner and tensioner arm, and I think you will need a new cranksprocket as the timing mark is in a different spot. I know the 6 bolt and 2g 7 bolt's have different crank sprockets, I'm not sure if the 1g 7 bolt sprocket would use the same gear as the 2g 7 bolt...

If your not too concered with making gobs of power in the future, take your friends block to a machine shop, have them bore it out to the next size (Im assuming .020 over). And have them check your rods to see if they could be used again.Order a set of oversize stock pistons, rods (if...

To answer your question, you would need an ECU, transmission, motor mounts, Wiring Harness, Intercooler piping, a new downpipe, battery mount, and more.. and you would have to move your A/C and power steering lines all around.To tell you what you need to hear, its more work than its worth...

There isn't anything like the available for our cars.You would need to take the axles out of the front wheels in order to be RWD, and you would have to fabricate something to seal the transmission where the axles go into the tranny so all your fluid wouldn't leak out... though a lot of...

So your saying in first and second gears, your boost reads as 0, but then you get boost in 3rd and 4th?It does sound like boost creep, but why are you running a 16g without any type of boost control?

No, just be sure to follow the correct pattern when tightening your head bolts down, and be sure to re-torque them after a heat cycle.-Nick

Why exactly do you need a gm mas? The stock 2g MAS will be good enough for around 400hp.But, I guess that wasnt the point of this thread.If you must get one, get the 3" version. And you'll need to get a Maf-T for a 2gEdit: I just read your post again, and I think you might be...

Your going to need more than juse the front case, oil filter housing and timing parts. But yes, it can be done, and its the way I'm doing my swap as well.Do alot of research on this site, as well as read up here: http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/article_1g2g.htmGood luck.-Nick

Awesome to hear. I don't have to worry about that aluminum piece that the 2g uses as the crank angle sensor, right? Should I just leave it in there as a spacer... or will that 16th of an inch not really matter. Ive already got the 1g CAS in my head, I just need to splice it into the 2g lines...

Hey guys-I know I need to find myself a new timing belt tensioner arm, and Ill get the tensioner pulley and the idle pulley when I get my timing belt kit, but I've noticed I'm missing a few more parts, and I'd love to just grab them off the 7 bolt sitting in the garage.Anyways, I'm...
