    For Sale Small Partout: Wilwood, Energy Suspension, Optima, OEM...

    Abandoned my 2g GS-T project, need to sell some stuff before I move into my new place.All prices are WITHOUT shipping and I won't add Paypal fees.Everything located near Seattle, WA and bigger/heavier stuff (like the seats, radiator, battery, and wheels/tires) are probably cost prohibitive...

    2G Brake Options? Full Manual? 3g MC/Booster?

    I'm prepping my road course build (just for fun track days and hillclimb events, no class restrictions) and I'm looking at brakes. The car will be driven on the road, but very rarely, just for local driving events and similar things.I would really like to maximize my braking capability since I...

    2G FWD Aero Questions/Concerns

    I've been reading through Andrew Brilliant's posts, and there's lots of great info, but most of the pictures are gone. I don't want to go quite as high-end as he did of course, I'm an IT person, not an aerodynamics expert. I'll consider pro CFD eventually, but want to DIY for now.I'm not going...

    2G No FMIC. Water Injection?

    My goals with my car (98 GS-T) are pretty mild. 280-300whp, but a nice cool running engine even on hot days in traffic and long trips. Fully functional air conditioning is a must, so no FMIC because it would likely cause heat issues. I want to take this on long distance drives and TSD rallies...

    Street Build 1998 GS-T Long-Term Restoration Mild Build

    I picked up this 1998 Eclipse GS-T from a friend, it runs pretty well overall and looks good from 15ft away.This is my 4th turbo DSM (first was back in 2001 I think), and it will be my last, it's going to be a slow "forever project" that I work on with my kids and keep forever. Once it's up...

    2G OEM Style FRP/CFRP Wider Front Fenders?

    I've come back into the DSM world after a 10+ year break with a 2G GS-T.I'm not a fan of "poke" but I'm also not a fan of bolt on overfenders either, but I'd like to be able to run a nice wide wheel and tire up front, leaning towards a 245 or 255 on a 9" wheel. I would like to find an OEM...

    Turbo is making a weird whining noise.I took a video w/ sound:Turbo SoundCan someone listen to it and help me figure out what's going on? Took off the intake pipe, nothing seems wrong, turbo spins freely just like it did before. I went down the road and it was boosting...

    First Time at the AutoX ! (video)

    A little background: I'm in the Air Force, stationed in Aviano, Italy....Italians wouldn't know what AutoX was if they saw it, all they do here is rally race, which is cool too. Anyways, we've got a car club on base that has some Italians but mostly American Military like myself. We got approval...

    MAFT UICP on 1G with Cruise/ABS

    I can't find any sites anywhere that sell a 1G UICP designed for MAFT that guarantees fit for cars with the damn ABS box (mine :rolleyes: )I e-mailed Dejon Tool about their ABS UICP and they said they can't guarantee fitment. I wouldn't mind getting something custom made, but it's kinda...

    Hooking my autometer electric oil pressure gauge. Took out the stock sending unit, and I go to put in the Autometer one and it doesn't fit! I've got all the adaptors the gauge came with and none of those work either. Am I missing something here? The weird thing is, a couple of the fittings that...

    Ebay DSM....sigh

    Why do people have to outright lie on ebay about their cars? I mean I feel sorry that some poor bastard is gonna be fooled into believing this car makes 355fwhp at 8psi on a 16G. :rolleyes:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6352&item=4518560885&rd=1...

    98 Octane Fuel

    I've got access to 98 Octane fuel right out of the pump for just a few cents more than the regular 92 octane (we've got high octane gas here for some reason).I've got the stock 14b, 3KGT VR-4 fuel pump (rewired), k&n, 3" turboback, logger, and S-AFC2. Would you say based on the octane rating...

    18's on a 1G

    Will 18's fit on my 1G GSX? I'm not sure about the whole offset thing, still learning, but I'm looking into some of these wheels, was probably gonna run a 225 tire. Anyone have any suggestions or advice? (the car is lowered about 1.5" from what it looks like, it was lowered already when I bought...

    Electrical Problem (started small, now seems big)

    Ok, bought my Eclipse a few months ago, and proceeded to start modding it. Hooked up the S-AFC2 and Turbo Timer (with harness) and everything was fine for about a month.Then I get pulled over for having no tail lights one night, replaced the fuse, and it blew about 10 seconds later...

    Tail Lights- 92 GSX to 1GB Talons

    I've got a 1GB 92 GSX, I prefer the looks of the tail lights on the 1GB Talons. Will they fit on my Eclipse without modifications? Do I have to also replace the bumper? Any info would be appreciated!Thanks Jason

    Tapping a boost gauge

    Ok, I've read all the vfaqs, and I'm going to tap it at the Fuel Pressure solenoid line.The question I have is how exactly do I tap this. I know I get a plastic T and tap in there and then hook up the tube coming from the gauge. It's a 1/8" tube, do I just buy a 1/8" T and slide the boost...

    UICP Question

    I checked up on the Dejon Tool site as well as a couple other sites and I can't find a UICP that is made for the GM MAFT that says it will work with a car equipped with the cruise box that's in the way there.Can anyone offer some advice?Thanks, Jason

    Front turn signals question....confused.

    On my 1992 Talon TSI whenever I turned on the left/right turn signals only the one's nearest the center of the car would flash. Now in my 1992 Eclipse GSX the corner lights flash and not the center ones. Is this just a difference in the two cars or something? Or is there something wrong, it's...

    1G FMIC Kit for ABS Equipped Cars?

    I've been looking at FMIC kits and I can't find any that say they are designed for ABS equipped cars. I've seen that Dejon Tool sells two different UICP's for the stock side mount, one for ABS, one for non ABS. Can someone give me some links to "street" kits that fit with ABS?I've tried...

    TurboXS Dual Stage Boost Controller?

    Anyone using this? I love the idea of the cockpit mounted switch for high/low boost because I can tune my S-AFC II for two settings, and easily switch. Are these boost controllers fairly reliable as far as weather changes and generally just holding the boost set instead of jumping around? I had...

    Custom Exhaust Questions

    Ok, with me being stationed over here in Italy, where the only people who know what a 4G63 or AWD DSM are the very few American DSM fans on base, I am not going to be able to find an exhaust system here. Since shipping isn't an option either, even a catback system is too big to ship to an APO...

    Grinding during downshift

    I've got a problem where when I downshift into second at any speed above 10mph or so it grinds, no matter how slow and soft I try to do it, it still grinds. Now I've had grinding problems with second gear in my old DSM, but only on the upshift (1st to 2nd), this one shifts perfectly smoothly...

    Octane Questions

    With my old Talon I always used 92 Octane and I was running 17psi. I'm in the Air Force now stationed in Italy, and we've got two choices for gas 95 and 98 Octane. For US Military it all costs the same, $2.10 a gallon, so a little pricey, but nothing compared to what the Italians pay for gas...

    FMIC Custom Piping Question

    Cooling Problems with Spearco FMIC Core?

    Fuel injector Question

    So I bought my S-AFC today and got it all hooked up just fine. Main reason I bought it is to aid in delaying fuel cut. Tell me if my math and logic is correct:550cc injectors flow 18% better than 450cc (450 divided by 550). So this would raise my fuel cut rpm by 18% (right?) as long as I...

    Help! Strange "bogging" problem (please read)

    For the last week or two my car has been acting very strangely. At intermittent times, often right after I get on it a little bit, the car will bog real bad between 2000-3500 rpms. By bog I mean the car begins to make a low tone BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR sound. Sometimes it gets bad enough to where the...

    Sorry, more fuel cut questions.

    Ok, this sucks. I've got my MBC set to 15-16 psi, holds steady, no spiking etc. But I'm hitting fuel cut at like 5300 rpms, which leaves 1700rpms before redline :mad: .I am running stock 14b, 3" turbo back (test pipe), K&N, free mods, and TurboXS MBC.How can I delay fuel cut to 7000rpms...
