I just got back from beautiful San Deigo (I envy you that live there). I did all sorts of stuff while I was down there with my two pals. Learned to surf, went deep sea fishing, played some golf, ect ect. But I thought I would post this even though my damn camera didnt work, plus its illegal...

Ive begun buying parts for my 6 bolt motor that will find its home in a galant. I bought a set of 2g pistons (.5mm bore), I have 1g big rods that arnt yet machined, and a balance shaft eliminator kit. Quick question before I start asking about the head, how can I tell if my front case is still...

Theoreticaly should everything bolt up ok? I know the intercooler piping is run a little differently but will all the oil/coolant lines work? Does anyone forsee any problems I might have doing this?Also, I have an EVO III exhaust manifold that I want to use as well. Forced Performance had...

Ive been trying to sell my 2g with the messed up head for a couple months now but I just cant seem to get rid of it. I have a check from some guy for the car but hes asking for some of it back, and I think he is trying to scam me. If he doesnt end up taking it, I dont know what to do.I...

Since my 2g is down for a while I decided to get a nice reliable car until I can either sell my talon for a gvr4 or keep it. I picked up an 88 civic 4 door for $1,000 off the original owner. ALL the maintaince records and this thing is in great shape for how old it is. I also cant complain about...

My car has been running on three cylinders so I put her up for a week and replaced all the basic stuff like plugs, wires, and coil packs. It didnt do much so I took the car to the dealer and had them run a diagnostic. Sure enough my valves got burnt up in the #2 cylinder. So now Im out a car...

I was driving up to tahoe on sautrday, nice and easy, and the car started to shutter really bad. I looked at the temp and this was the first time I have seen it above the half way mark. It was just a little over, nothing to worry about. Plus it was really warm out. So I pull over and let the car...

I want to use ADFX's big sidemount intercooler when I put the 6 bolt motor in with all the goodies but theres a problem. I cant find any decent 2.5 inch intercooler piping. I called Dejon Tool and he said he wont make the piping in 2.5 inch but he can flare the ends out to fit the intercooler...

When I first bought the program and cable the logger worked great! Now its been a while since I hooked it up and it wont work. Something odd was that my palm desktop was somehow converted back to its original form. So I reloaded the software and now it wont work. I cant get a connection with my...

I had another topic going about my 6-bolt buildup but the questions I was asking about choosing internals was going nowhere. The motor I want to build will be very mild due to the fact that I dont want to spend tons of money and Im going to be using my FP big t-28. So my questions are as...

Im starting work on my 6 bolt motor. I have a block with crank and the sale of the new head is pending. I have some questions/looking for advice about a couple things though.First off I want to know if going with HKS 264's is worth it. Im only going to be using my big-28 turbo, so would I...

I got it at Auto Zone. Its made by a company called Road Works. The model number is AW-UT03R.

This morning I got up with just my pj's on and made a bowl of cerial. I turned on a good cd (Thrice- The Illusion of Safety) and sat on my front step looking at my car. Its so clean right now. I just want to know if anyone ever does this. The reason I was doing it was because its sunny and warm...

I just bought some stock 2g gsx rims with Yokohama yk420 215-50-r17 tires from GotEclipsed. Im going to hold off from putting them on till I have my suspension ready. I was thinking of doing just springs but I think it would be smarter to spend the extra money to get GC coilovers. So what I need...

I was just wondering if I will run into any problems if I put my evo III exhaust manifold on with the t-28 without basic mods? Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but if you can help thanks in advance.

Do ANY of you galant guys know of a vr4 for sale? Preferably on the west coast. Im in the middle of trying to sell my 2g for one. If you guys have any info I would greatly appreciate it.

The local road course track is almost open and I want to start preping my car for it but Im not really sure what parts would be best for a daily driven car. My original plan for the suspension was H&R race springs with koni yellows, rre front and rear strut bars, and sway bars. The rim/tire...

My car is running really rich so I hooked up my pocketlogger to the car and I got an error. The code is P0170: Fuel trim (bank 1). I have no clue how to inturpret that or how to fix it. If you know, can you help me out, I need my gas mileage back! Thanks in advance.

Ive been noticing that my car is smoking. The smoke is blue so I know oil is burning somewhere. It only smokes under boost so thats why I was thinking the old t-25 needs to go. Here is the sinerio where I first noticed alot of smoke. My car was fully warmed up and I drove to my friends shop. My...

Sorry I dont have a picutre for you guys to work with but this is what I am thinking. A shot of the back bumper and tail lights to start with. But fill in the middle part of the tailights so its the same color of the car. I would do some searching through the gallery but its down. So if you have...

Ok heres the deal. I have a 95 talon (black roof and thumb nail wing). My roof is looking pretty shitty due to the sun and weather. This spring I want to repaint it but Im having trouble figuring out what would look best. I was thinking of painting the roof to match the rest of the car which is...

I have a 2g tsi fwd and a fp big t28. I was looking at the forced performance site and I got an idea. My goal for this car is just to open up to airways and squeeze a little more power out. Im doing thise through the turbo, ported exhaust mani, 2.5 inch turbo back, bigger IC piping and a larger...

Im looking for a front mount intercooler. Im really looking at the Hahn fmic to match my ported fp big 28. With this intercooler and 2.5 inch piping do you guys think it will be too much or should I go with smaller diameter piping?

I have a 2g fwd and I just had a couple quick questions. First off the car is my daily driver but it goes to the drag strip and road course on occasions. I am thinking of a semi-good shock spring setup. I was thinking H&R race springs with tokico 5 way adjustables on all 4's. Any input? Now for...

Im buying my catback exhaust on monday and Im having trouble deciding which one to get. Bot systems are 3 inch and tapper down to 2.5 which is what I am looking before because I am using a 2.5 dp. Both exhaust look great and they are both in the same price range, so you can see how Im getting...

Just curious if any fellow dsmtuners are on myspace.com? I think it would be cool to get a bunch of tuners together on there.

The time has finally come to get a damn intercooler to match my big t28. I know Ive posted this a couple times but Im still having trouble deciding. Its pretty much a choice between the ADFX big sidemount or a fmic. Now heres a little catch with the adfx intercooler. The two exits are 2.5 inchs...

Im buying my fuel pump today and I want to know if a 255 walbro will be an overkill for a fp big 28 setup? I can get the 255 for $99 from dejon and thats the best price ive seen so I just wanted to know. Thanks.

I would really like to upgrade my brakes but I dont want to go all out and buy Baer or AEM units. I have a 95 talon tsi FWD. Ive heard that some 1gs had better brakes. Im really new to this so please bear with me. Im looking at getting braided lines with better calipers, pads, and rotors. Pretty...

Thermal R&D CatbackI just wanted to let you guys know incase you were looking at getting yourself a last minute christmas present. I know Ill be ordering mine this week!

I know its getting difficult to get your hands on HID light but I really want some but I dont know much about them. I searched on here and got some info but not enough. This may sound stupid but I really want my 95 lights to shine like evo8s. Can someone help the HID noob out?

Ok I have some time off coming up but I still need to get a couple things before I put everything on. I have a fp big 28 ported to match my ported evo 3 manifold. RnR o2 eliminator dp with no cat and I still need a catback. I have a dejon intake and a 255 fuel pump with 550's on the way. Im...

Ive been giving it alot of thought and I know many will say AWD or dont bother but on a serious note how bad would it be? What if one used a dual stage EBC and two step? What I really would like to see is some responces from guys and gals on tuners that have really fast front wheel drive dsms...

I was looking at the back of my car and I was thinking about how ugly the middle part of the tail light is. Does anyone agree with me? I was thinking about a filler plate possibly. Just make it flush with a place for your plates and painted to match the car. Do you guys think this has been done...

Hey guys I am looking for a new web design program and I was wondering what you guys use or have used? I know a bit just using HTML code but I want something easier. Im looking at macromedia mx and adobe go live. But what other ones are out there that have a good pretemplet setup and all that...

Hey there guys I just wanted to ask a simple yes or no question about doing a blow through GM setup. Will I encounter any problems if I get the mas and maft before I get bigger injectors and dsm link? The only reason I ask is I want to get some of this crap out of my closet and on my car but I...

Hey guys I am looking at getting a larger sidemount intercooler and I was set on getting a Supra sidemount but someone brought to my attention that ADFX makes a bigger sidemount. I took a look at it and it looks like a nice intercooler, and the price is reasonable ($305). What I want to know is...

I just got my cable in the mail today and I went and hooked it up. Ive been playing around with it some but where I need the help is my 2 check engine lights. One of the errors is P0484- Idle Control System and the second one is P0505- which is unknow. Where can I find out what this second one...

I have a 95 with the thumb nail wing. I am getting my roof painted to match the rest of the car soon and I cant figure out what to do about that wing. I dont want to keep it because it would look dumb blue. I was thinking of going wingless and removing the wiper too. I was also thinking of...

Everything is coming together nicely but Im still undecided about my fuel management. I have a fp big 28 and Im soon getting a supra sidemount and 550's. So for tuning should I go with the pocketlogger and SAFC or spend the money and get a DSM Link? I know DSM Link is awesome but I dont know if...

Ok I have everything now and I was wondering if upgrading my intercooler will even be worth it. Ive got a ported EVO III exhaust mani with ported FP Big 28, 2.5 turbo back, dejon intake with FPIK, Solid intercooler pipes with 1g bov. I should be getting my fuel pump soon and I have a profec-b...

Ok the time has come to address the head lights. Mine are getting foggy on the bottom half and I was wondering if anyone had some tips on how to clean them up so they look new. I searched and came up empty handed. I have heard of using a fine grit sand paper then polishing:confused: but I dont...

Are the stock 5 spoke eclipse rims 16's or 17's? I can get a set for free but I just wasnt sure. Also what kind/size tire should I get? Thanks in advance :thumb:

My head is toast. My stepdad was driving my car while I was in california and somehow the top end is now done for. Its ok though. This is a perfect chance for me to do a 6 bolt swap. I want to keep it mild for everyday driving but I need help with parts. The new motor will be built around a fp...

Man I feel stupid for asking this but is there any other way to tell if my engine is a 6 or 7 bolt without checking the flywheel? See the engine was replaced on my car a week before I bought it and I am curious if they did the swap. Thanks for the help in advance:thumb:

For some strange reason my life seems totaly different. I just recently turned 19 but I feel so much more mature and at the same time so out of place. Im not saying Im old or anything but everything seems different. Tonight for example, I went to a party with some friends. Mind you I dont drink...

This winter I am planning on doing a semi built 6 bolt swap for my 95 FWD. Ive been doing some research and I am curious about the whole 2g piston 1g rod setup. What kind of performance gain would I expect to see with this? I already have the shortblock but I need to buy a head. I was looking at...

Ok I just picked up an old style greddy turbo timer for $25 bucks off honda-tech and I need to know if there is a wiring harness I can get ahold of for this install. Will the new style harness work or no? Also if I do have to end up wiring that god forsaken thing can someone point me in the...

Ive been on "vacation" for the past couple days. Well actually its not vacation, its more like out of state babysitting but anyway. Ive been giving alot of thought to the next 4 year (starting college) and I dont know if I want to keep my 2g. I mean I love it to death but I want something...

Ok I am working on the body of my car pretty soon and I am doing a 97+ front end with Kaminari side skirts and rear skirt. Check it out here-http://www.kaminari.com/products/95Eclipse.htmMy question is do you think the rear skirt will go on the talon bumper? I know the sideskirts will...
