Hi I was driving my spider a few weeks ago and then I started hearing aloud banging when I hit bumps coming from the rear end and after further investigation I realized the rear strut where it bots to the top on the car has torn through and now it flops around it had rusted through looks like...

Well that sucks. I will drive it till the wheels fall off and change out trannys. I got another tranny in a parts car I bought.

Hi I just noticed this today that the first and 2nd gear seems to make a growling sound and faster it gose in them gears the louder it gets. When clutch pushed in it gose away. Dose this mean the transmissions bad? everything seems to work on it just fine it switchs through gears smoothly. Also...

yeah I did a boost leak test it has some bad ones that I fixed but I don't think that's the problem here cause the car runs like crap with or w/o boosting. And I cant seem to get any logs on dsm link eather I don't know what im doing or the link isn't working right. I belive I found the place...

it has dsm link and at the moment its running like crap regardless if its boosted or driving around like a non turbo it wont hardly get down the road. Im not sure if the tunning it has anything to do with the problem some people on here say its the tune causing the problems so I guess it would...

Hey im looking for some dsmers from the Midwest ark and okla are that know how to tune. That could possibly check out my gsx I cant find no one around my area that knows nothing about dsm's So im looking for some one who I can meet up with that could maybe help get the gsx back on the road. I...

Hi my spyder when I romp on it and boost it to 10 psi it starts cutting out and sputtering. Is that cause its maxed out on boost or is this cause of another problem?

alrighty I figured it out I was trying to use the cd changer cord instead of the amp plug didn't realize there was 2 cables. Using the stock amp makes the system sound way better I also got a sub and I used speaker wire to rca converter from Wal-Mart and wired them into the stock wires. U...

Hi guys Im having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to use my stock infanty amp on my after market radio! I did this back in 2006 with my first gst but im lost to how I did it. I got one of these wires here...

Ok I had put another valve cover on there and after I did the test I started it and car run like crap so I put the original valve cover back on that I just got done painting was going to let it dry first. When I put the original cover back on the car run fine then I figured it was the pvc valve...

Hey guys for s**ts and giggles I decide to do a boost leak test on the 98 spyder I just bought few weeks ago and all the air is going into the valve cover and leaking out I cant even listen for small leaks! is that normal? cause my gsx never had that problem as well as the gst I owned back in...

My 98 spyder has a problem with the gas pedal like sometimes u push it and it works fine other times it kinda sticks a bit and when I push it then it takes little more lrg strength to push it causing the car to take off bucking. Its really annoying only way I figured around it is push the clutch...

im not sure what psi was I did it till I started hearing leaks and then I stoped the tested and started looking for the leaks. And I cant get no log from dsm link when I goto it theres nothing there. The log should be under display correct? or is it some where else on dsm link.

No im useing 91 oct now I only used e85 when I had it on tune and with the 1100cc jectors but i thought maybe it was the e85 tune so input the 650ccs back on and went back to pump gas but the car dose the same problem on both e85 and 91 octaine so thats why I belive its something with the car...

seems like the exhaust leak just started here since I started try to get it running again. I did the boost leak on the turbo I think I put around 60 psi in it. I know it had a few big leaks which I fixed. I don't have a tune on it right now cause I was trying to fix the problem first. It did...

Ok I will check the MAF harness out and I got some electronics cleaner for cars I will spray it. And on DSM link I loaded it up and went to display and to Graph but nothings there no line grids or nothing is that normal? or do I need to do something else to get a log on dsm link.

I did compression test as well as new gas and it has no CEL lights on but if it was something that simple I wouldn't be here asking for help lol. and o yeah I also took it to a performance shop right before I parked it and he couldn't figure it out either and he works on boosted cars for a...

Guess your missing the part where it runs like crap with the tune so lets see that tells me.that tune has nothing to do with it.It runs same way reguardless with or with out tune.I will check the coolent temp and timming and get a dsm link log as wellSo far I checked fuel pump. Spark. I...

1st off this problem dose it no matter if im driving it like a N/t or Boosting. Has the same results. Im pretty sure its not a issue from the mods on it as its a issue with the car its self. The car will start and run but runs like crap and when it gets warmer it gets worse. First day we took it...

Ha yeah golden advice only a few people had advice rest was just smart ass comment's which is useless to the topic such as this. And this thread was never about the 9k gsx car it was a simple will this turbo work yes or no thread. Which btw I didn't spend 9k at a shop lol the car costed 6k to...

Im fixing to buy another spyder tomorrow for 500 bucks its been wrecked in the front its a non turbo has good motor and tranny 136k I mainly buying it for the top it has a new top on it and also the cage cause my cage on my spyder is broke and wont close on its own. Also will use a few other...

also a OHMs meter would tell u if your getting enough volts to the starter.

Cool maybe if your down this way sometime u could hit me up. just shoot me a pm when your down

Naw timing belt didn't skip cause it would run like carp from the min it starts up it runs fine then just gets worse. And your version of correct could be different then any one elses. Im sure there's a lot of stuff on it that u would be incorrect in your eyes lol but doesn't mean it wont work...

Well the parts house tests the starter same way as u can but jumping it. My starter will pass and the parts house as well but it works but under a load it wont work. My just clicked and some times it would turn the motor over very slowly. Best way to test it is jump it straight from the starter...

Umm yeah it was done right cause the problem with the car has nothing to do with boost since it dose it even with out boosting what so ever. So the performance work has nothing to do with the problem. If I took the turbo off and made it a Non turbo bet anything the problem will still be there.

guess there's a safe way to do it which is your way and there's the risky way to do things and some people just don't like to take risk LOL just cause its not recommended doesn't mean it cant be done. I know of a few dsm that has boost set pretty high and no fancy injectors or tuners.umm...

I will see if it has dsm link if it dose that be awsome if not o well I will just leave it be cause trying to use dsmlink is like Chinese to me makes no since and theres no tuners in my area. Im just doing every thing u can to speed it up w/o tuneing. And I dont plan to use that turbo even...

My starter on my gsx did the same thing it would clikc and barley turn motor I took it out and jumped it it worked and spin like crazy but wouldnt work on the car ao I put another on it and it fixed it. I guess the start was shot I tried to use it on my part out car motor to check compression...

Pro advice fron useless smart ass comenets hell I get better advice from ehow lol thanks but no thanks

Wow such hate here no wonder people talk bad about these fourms to bad there wasnt some other sites where help is given and lazy posted non since is not. Thanks to the few that offerd help rest of useless posters can go f__k selfsUmm yeah compared to 11,746 post id say a handfull...

last time I used this site was like in 2010 maybe 09 and only been one here handful of times.

yeah my gsx it has dsm link but was tunened buy the shop there in Oklahoma city coasted me a fortune but it ran right for awhile then took a dump one day and never run right since. I didn't change nothing or mess with the tune. So something changed on the car. I will probly just leave the spyder...

I do have some 450s I think in the gst I got for parts. I read that anything under 600 doesn't need tuners so 450cc u would think wouldn't hurt nothing.

Ok maybe 15psi? seems like my stock gst was doing 12 psi back in the day and my buddies gsx was doing 15psi and he didn't have injectors or a tuner either. So I just keep it low then call it good.

I got some 1100cc injectors those will be to big I bet lol I will put a MBC on the spyder and turn it up to 20psi and call her good.

ahh that sucks guess I will slap it on ebay and try to get some money out of it then. I don't really want to buy a bunch of mods for the spyder I spent almost 9k on my gsx and its not running right. I figerd I ask before selling it. I wonder how I would make the car a little fast the way it is...

im not sure I do have a exhaust mani that gose with that turbo it has a aftermarket waste gate but if I can use my stock w/g then I can just take that aftrmrkt off and block the opening off.heres the mani

Any DSMers close to the fort smith Arkansas area?

Hi I got a turbo off a parts car that seems pretty big I was wondering if I could throw it on my spyder and make it faster? I have no idea what turbo it is it says M12 on it and a/r .50 From the looks of it it should just bolt up. The spyder has a FMIC, Hks bov and I belive a wally 150 fuel...

No no rear sway bar from what I can tell. I will check the camber. Also how fast do u think the car should be? with the mods on it. From what I seen there's a 14b/16g turbo a FMIC and HKS bov. The car will boost about 7psi which seems low to me its not very fast at all. What would I need to make...

yeah Monday I was going to goto sherem Williams and have them match the paint and put me some in a rattle can to paint the parts with I will be using this car for parts. I paid 1600 for the parts car I think I over paid. it dose have a few mods on it though. I figured since I need a door and...

Well since I got my gsx alrdy fast and a lot of money sunk into I think I will just leave the stuff on the spyder and call it good and change out the driver door and fender. I got another non running gst that I bought for parts its a light purple color so I would have to get it painted black. I...

Runs great no Cell lights or nothing. it dosent seem to fast on speed though maybe cause im use to my gsx which was super fast. its a 1998 model it was probly repainted I believe. It has a apexi box in it as well I don't know what its for but when u turn the car off it stays running till it...

150k and its a 7bolt motor so I figer its the original motor. the battery is a everstart but its a 5 year warranty brand new figured that cost over 100 bucks or so

o yeah its a 5 speed which was nice cause most spyders I check all was auto

Alrighty I will probly try to sell it then its just a parts car I need to sell as many parts as I can to make some the money back that I used to buy the car with.

I finaly snagged me a 1998 eclipse spyder today for a very good price I think. Ive been wanting one for years now and found one in Tulsa Ok got it for 1,550 It has a FMIC on it hks bov a upgraded turbo not sure what brand it has a winny fuel pump so I figer its a whine-bro lol and that's all the...

Im not sure what turbo I have its non factory I know that its says .60 a/r or something on it. the turbo off the parts car is a .50 I figured if I have it might as well use it cause there has to be benefits in having a after market waste gate or people wouldn't buy them.

I figured its a ebay special manifold from the looks of it and I will flip it side ways and see if I can mount it.wonder what happen if some one drove it with it on backwards? the guy who sold me the car said there was a slapping sound from top of the motor and it idle till u give it gas and...
