I am going to see if i can turn the crank by hand and check the tdc on the cams today after work.
I have a service manual for 95-96 models eclipse/talon/laser that is pretty indepth.
Have there been any guides done step by step for this process?
thanks for the info
I have a 1995 GST that has been sitting parked for 4 years.
I cleaned the outside and interior and decided its time to revive this.The motor has 107,xxx miles on it and was parked because of a bad timing belt job by pep boys :banghead:
After the timing belt job I got a compression check...
A couple of months ago I was all excited about getting a new Headunit to replace the good old stock infinity unit.
and Bestbuy and Circuitcity said they would have to charge an extra 200$ just to bypass the amp under the seat, there is no way around it.
So i said no thanks.
Finally got a new...
I wanna say its alittle bit further down from latenight library on the opposite side of the street. (before you get to the stadium)
Called (PAC) Professional Automotive Center
Ok so if i do decide to get an engine off ebay, and i happen to get a JDM one, what other kinda stuff am i gonna be running into?
Do i need to swap ecu's, rewire the car completely?
Im not really wanting something thats going to be an arm and a leg to put in, i had an older Celica(1991) which...
Ok so i guess what i need to be asking is where should i go for a engine?
any good online stores to order from?
theres always ebay...
but i think id rather get it else where.
Ya.. the place i took it to, as soon as they called and said my car was ready to get, i went up there started the car (which barely started had a very hard time cranking) which is has NEVER done before ever..
started and was just puttering like hell. i told them thats not right you need to fix...
1995 Eclipse Gst
98,000milesMy car WAS running PERFECT or so i thought before i had to go get a timing belt installed.
Seriously though nothing was wrong with it, idled perfect, ran perfect no knocking / ticking from the engine.
After fighting over and over with a POS shop i took the car...
Sounds good, i appreciate the help.
Im going to print this whole page up with the diagram and hopefully they can get this fixed.
Im just abit concerned that they are just going to tell me that they did the timing job correctly. is there anything i can show them on the car to further explain...
Ok one more thing to add.
I just took it for a test drive and noticed this..I was in 5th gear crusing at about 45mph, push the gas down to accelerate, and it started to go, evenetually it seemed like it got to one point while accelerating where it seems like the car stayed at 4500rpm for...
Ok ill try and described exactly what happened acurately.
I have a 1995 Eclipse GST with 97,000 miles
I drive my car every single day, which had no problems at all, ran perfectly smooth no sounds comming from the engine, not even lifter tap.
One night i get home from work, just like every...
*gasp*
not good...
I have changed all my speakers except for the tweeters, didnt change the wiring but does this fix the 2ohm problem? or do i need to do the rewire for the speakers as well?Ya ya... ive heard it all before, i dont understand why not, its easier for me to look up the wire...

Thank you.
Ya I dont really want to go back to stock psi...
Going from 11psi-14psi is just crazy, the feeling makes me smile, kinda makes my car feel like it has some power ROFL
Thanks for the input
So I got a srp MBC, found out that it just doesnt really work.. Springs bad I dunno, not worried about it.
But the other day while I was putting the stock boost controller back in I broke the nipple off the stock bcs... so.
what i did (see attachment) was connect the nipple from under the...
So I picked up a fairly cheap srp mbc installed it 2 different ways and each way it kept boosting way past 15psi which is not what i wanted to achieve.
So i had to goto work, so i reconnected everything back up (stock) and now its stuck at 11psi, when before it was at 14psi.
My question is ...
Hmm damn, what did you drop it on the pavement? ROFL
Anyway, you could definatly try and jb weld it, get the stuff thats high temp. Reinstall it. Go for a short 5 minute drive check the hood and make sure theres no oil around. I dont see why this wouldnt work
Sorry to bring up an old thread, I was just waiting for my xs uicp and new greddy bov to hook up the mbc,
Anyway I understand that the line opposite of the adjust knob goes to the turbo and then the other line goes to the actuator, I was looking at this today and just wondering if I cap off...
How do I install this BC?
Also that screw doesnt screw all the way in is that going to be a problem? I looked inside theres a spring and metal ball in there, I would like to set this up at 14psi.
and one more thing at the top theres a very small hole WTF (looks like it was made to be there)...
I believe with the throttle body and idle screw that its just going to leak there no matter what. I have yet got that leak taken care of, but i think i heard someone on here say that its not possible to even fix that from leaking.
Ya, funny thing i have the same tic going on and i just changed my oil a day ago to the mobil 1 fully synthetic 10-30.
And it now seems even worse then before, hopefully this oil doesnt destroy my engine before i can get to the next oil change and put some regular shit in it.
I cant believe i...
I dont want to get into a big debate but im about to do a oil change and i was looking for
Amsoil Turbo Formulated 10w-30 the other day and i just couldnt find it anywhere, so i saw some royal purple but i looked on the bottle and said synthetic.
Now ive read alot of discussion about this...
So im fooling around with these cheap ebay UICP that I got, and im having the biggest part getting them to all connect right, mainly because i think these pipes were just not made for this car and whoever made them just randomly made some pipes, anyway thats another story.
But today when i...
Hmm i think i know where your talking about to the right of the throttle body in a sheath place where the 2 cables come out from? I could take that apart and look inside, what would i be looking for? just to see if its sticking?
Maybe it doesnt exactly have to do with shifting but it seems like my RPMS just dont drop fast enough. An example.
In 3rd gear comming up to 3k rpm i disengage the clutch, let off the gas, bov does its thing but instead of the rpms droping(like its suppose to right?) when car isnt in gear they...
I believed before i started playing with my gst it was at 12psi dead on, now ive gone and messed with things and it hits 14psi and sometimes touches 15.
Imo this is way to much for that t25. Once my mbc comes in im probably going to set it at 13 or 12
Opps forgot to ask something.
What about waiting when you start the car? should you have a certain amount of time to wait before leaving? like 30sec idle?
Im not talking about in the mornings i always wait untill my cars temp is at normal operating temps before i give it any boost.
Check ebay frequently, the ones i have dont seem to be listed anymore maybe everyone found out how bad they were...
But im sure i saw someone review these...
I still dont understand how a intercooler goes "bad" WTF
Im sorry but can you please explain this? When i go to look at my intercooler I want to know what to look for.
I dont know what is going on with this radio, it could just be dead.
but whenever it feels like it, it will get silent while im listening to it, you can barely hear it, you look down at the radio and i can tell that the symbol ST (stereo?) goes off as soon as this does it, ive taken it apart to...
How can the intercooler go bad?
I use to think I had the same problem. loss of power after 5500rpm.
But after alot of work ive just come to the conclusion as someone else just said that after 5500rpm the turbo stops pushing the power anywayThe sputtering could be fouled plugs and possibly...
You sure you have it tapped into the right O2 hole? And make sure your looking at the diagram maybe you are looking at your plugs upside down?
Also you are starting the car to see if theres an o2 reading cause it doesnt come on with acc just on.
I went upper and lower IC pipes that were $140 to my door.
Indeed helped, felt like I boost stronger now, those stock pipes just dont cut it.
While i was at it i also got a 1g bov with the IC pipes.
But the exhaust i want is like $500 Apexi N1 =\ so the IC pipes just seemed more worth it.
Since I dont have a turbo timer yet I was wondering how long you should consider cooling down for?
Lets say you just got done cruising not really getting on it at all how long at idle before you turn it off to allow proper cooling for the turbo.
What about how long when you did get on it and...
