I just purchased a set of Evo 8 injectors. I had planned to replace all the seals, but I noticed that clear plastic sleave circled in red in the picture below are cracked on 2 of the 4 injectors and broken off on another. I kind of suspect this is normal due to the nature of the injector being...

I received my "Blemished" IC kit today and I am very impressed. I was told the IC had a scratch on the back side and I am still looking for cause I cannot find it. Just a few (3-4) bent fins that aren't really that bad, nor would I really consider a "bend". Also the pipe scratches are...
I am trying to understand what Flywheel Step size means. Particularly in regards to the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch and either an ACT or Fridenza Flywheel.According to Centerforce, the step size is -0.608. Since I am a newb on driveline tech, what does this mean in regards to the...

Long story of clutch related issues. About 8 months ago I was driving to Des Moines. Came of the interstate and pushed the clutch in to down shift, pedal had no resistance and went straight to the floor. Freaked me out as I thought I missed the clutch pedal and had my foot looking for the...
I'm looking into buying a "rebuilt" short block with ~3K miles on it before being torn apart due to timing belt failure, and I have no reason to believe the seller is less than genuine. However, looking at the cyclinder walls, I am concerned by odd wair marks on #1 & #4. Is this normal? A...

This may be a silly (newb) question, but what is the difference between 1G big rods and regular 1G rods? Any difference, or is the term for using 1G rods that have been modified to fit 2G Pistons?And also 1G means (90-94) and can be either 7 or 6 bolt?One last question, care these rods...
I have searched, including on the DSMLink website, but I wanted to get a diffinite answer to installing DSMLink on a 97 w/7-bolt. Attached is a photo of the firing order for the 97+ Eclipses and what I believe the new order should be to match the 95-96. Is this correct?Anything else needs...
Has anyone tried to re-engineer a non-eprom 2G ECU into an Eprom programmable ECU like on the 95?I have done a few google searches and haven't found anything promising. I think it "could" be possible... but anything could be done. I'm trying to see if anyone has attempted it and has any...
I'm a little confused on which transmission oil to use. According my manual it mentions GL-5 75w-85 or 75w-90. In another location it says specifically GL-4 75w-85. The shop manuals say GL-4 75w-85. This is for a 97 GST Manual.I have been told that GL-5 is not backwards compatible...

I would like to hear peoples oppinions on ECU+ over DSMLink. I have read alot about DSMLink and it sounds great, but ECU+ Seems like a more cost effective approach for a midgrade tuner and has most of the same features. Anyone have experience with ECU+ or both?
The Megan downpipe does NOT have an O2 bung on it. It does eliminate that cat however. You'll need to have your exhaust to put an O2 bung on the exhaust, or get an O2 eliminator circuit. Since the there is an O2 sensor in the O2 sensor housing directly below the turbo and is what the Downpipe...
I just installed my new 3' SS exhaust with a 3' high flow cat and a magnaflow muffler to my Megan Down pipe (requires cutting the downpipe to mount the cat in its normal place also the Megan necks down to 2.5' at the tail, so cutting the tail flange off opens it up to 3'). The install shop had...
Allright, so this evening I got around to installing my new brakes. I put brembo slotted and crossdrilled rotors (ebay, I know brembo doesn't make them officially), I put Goodridge Steel brake lines, and EBC Greenstuff pads on. It was all going great until I went to put the front pads on...
Ok, so its aproaching the 60,000 mile period on my car, which means new timing belt and water pump. Now here is the problem. I despise with a passion the local Mitsubishi Dealership and will go through great lengths to not do any buisness with them. With that said I started to call around for...
