Didnt know 2Gs needed premium fuel as well... Well in that case, guess the race is back on... VR4 vs 2G? More suggestions? How many mpg does a 2G with 300hp+ give?

Hey guys,As some of you may have seen in my other threads, I'm selling my 1G to get a 2G. Now here's the thing... Few weeks from me selling the car, it starts doing some WIERD stuff... THe turbo is in good conditions, no shaft play at all; The engine has been basically rebuilt, has over 1k...

I was googling around a bit, and I think the gas mileage for the VR-4 is maybe too terrible for me... It uses only premium fuel, and some people have reported 13mpg! The 2G seems to be winning the race (makes sense since I asked in a DSM community :P ), but the VR4 is still a candidate. Thing...

I was checking the local classifieds in my town, and there are a few 3000GTs for sale. I know the 3000GT and the 2G stock are in different areas, ones a 4 cyl, the other is 6; not to mention the size of the engine, etc.Both are within my price range. And the thing is, the 2G turbo has around...

Yeah I also took into consideration the SRT, but it isnt within my price range; But a 2G DSM should do just fine ;)

2Gs have a seven bolt and a T25 right? Shouldnt the 2G stock give around 205-210hp and the 1G 195hp? Anyway, I will probably be switching anyway, my mom needs a car, so I'll just give her my 1G, and buy a 2G. But I have a confession... for a slight second, I even thought about getting a Honda...

Its been a wide range of mechanical problems. But honestly, right now, I've put in over 1k into the mechanical area, and right now, the engine is in great conditions, turbo is in great conditions, transmission is excellent; But I notice alot of loose cables around in the engine (like 4-5), and...

Hey guys, after having my 1G for almost a year, and still havent been able to use it for over a month without it having to be a few weeks in a shop, or stopped, or giving problems, I've decided maybe its time to step away from the DSMs, or maybe get a 2G turbo. I was wondering, aside from the...

My 13g just passed away. Here is the issue. A used 13g is very hard to find. I might be able to find a 14b, but I would also have to buy all the lines, and I would probably want an MT ECU, and 450 injectors. Upgrading to a small 16g is out of the question because it would take ALOT of money...

Thanks guys! Will do this in the weekend!

I will try all of the above. I left a cardboard box under it, and some paper, to see if I could pin down its source. HOwever, regarding the oil additives... Can they be harmful to my turbo or engine? Any suggestions as far as oil additives?

Hey guys,I have a very sneaky oil leak, which I cant quite point out what is its source. It's not a big leak, every month or so it wastes around 1 quart. Since I frequently check my oil, I dont let it become a serious problem, but this is very annoying. I was considering buying one of those...

I was parting out my N/T Eagle Talon, just to have extra parts for my Eclipse GS-T. I was wondering if the intake rubber tube, and the honeycombs, and all that, is the same for both N/T and Turbo 1Gs.

Yesterday, while driving my car back home from college, the car started doing a wierd noise while it charges up the turbo boost. When it reaches a bit over 7PSI, and as it reaches it, it makes an annoying squeeky noise... Like if something in the turbo was loose and causing the noise. It...

I will do a search around for the 14b. But wouldnt I have to upgrade injectors as well? to 450s?

Yeah. Its what I've been doing. But when I have to go up a hill, it gets kinda annoying... Just wanted to know if there was anything else I could do. Since aparently there isnt, well I'll just control my "right foot" :)

The exhaust is not smoking. yes, its my daily drive. I know the turbine will continue to spin, but I just want it to not make noise, or charge boost. That way minimize the damage at least until I can replace it. Can you point me to a more detailed tutorial, or explanation of removing the...

My car just recently began making a very squeeky annoying sound when it reaches around 7psi. In another thread, someone said that it was probably that my turbo was dying. Honestly, I cannot afford another turbo right now, much less an engine repair, so I was wondering if there was a way to just...

It hasnt been doing the squeeky sound today. Anything I can do to prevent it from goin out? I mean... I dont have the money for a new turbo, much less for motor repairs... Any suggestions?

Well the Engine head, and BLOCK are from a 90. The rest of the car is from a 1991... The only parts that were swapped from the 1990 to the 1991 were the NECESARY PARTS.Anyway, I tightened up the CAS, and the car is running fine. Is it safe to run the car with the CAS like this? Its on my list...

I checked one of the grounds, (the battery one), and it seems fine. The Coolant Reserve was missing Coolant, but no big deal... Adding a bit of coolant turned off the cage light...And about the A/C.... Its a fuse... Its burnt. It actually MELTED in the fusebox. I'll start another thread later...

Would it be safe to run the car ike this? Even though the sensor might have gotten a bit dirty?If the CAS does not work, the car shouldnt start right? So if it starts, it means the CAS is still working?

Will do that today.Thanks guys! I'll let you know how it goes!

Could someone please link to a diagram showing where the factory ground points are? I'm very new to "cars"... I'm mainly a computer geek.

Going to try swapping the alternator 2morow... [HOPEFULLY]. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for the help! ;)

Even though my car is 1991, the engine it has is a 1990. So I have to get a 1990 CAS?By the way, no money to swap it out now. I'm going to tighten the bolt back up, and run the car like that... Until I can swap it out... Does that sound good?

I noticed it was loose... So I turned it to see what it was... But the bolt is still there... Its not completely loose. I will tighten the bolt 2morow morning. Could this maybe be the cause of the laggy starts sometimes? Sometimes it starts easily, and other times it takes a while to start...

The bolt is still there... Will tightening it back again be safe? I dont want to cause any further damage.Whats the worse that can happen with no CAS?

Oh and I have no idea how it got like this... I just opened my hood today, and noticed it was loose.

CAS? Damn. Sounds bad. Should I continue running my car this way? Or stop it until I get this fixed?

Hey guys...I've been having some coolant, oil leeking problems... and Some electrical problems with me 1G... And now, to add to the problem list.... I was running my car pretty hard... Giving it a test ride. And today, i lift my hood, and see this loose... Whats this?

The Cage = The Radiator... I get it now! :)It makes sense because the car was heating up a bit during the weak... I'll have the hoses checked, and fill it up again...ANother electrical problem is that when I turn the A/C up to the highest speed... It turns the radio off (randomly...

The car is tons of fun! Love it.Only thing is, I seem to have a leaking radiator, or some of the radiator hoses. Because of this, sometimes the car heats up a bit... I also have a tiny oil leak. I hope I can get this fixed ASAP. But I love the carrrr!!! :D

Hey guysI just recently got my car out from the mechanic. Engine is running great, transmission shifts smoothly... Besides some alternator problems, everything seems to be going great. However, the alternator problems just threatened my engine. The alternator is not sending enough voltage to...

Nah, they are OEM. The reason its squeeking is because it is very deteriorated. I will change it 2morow... It only costs 5 dollars. ;)I'll let you guys know how that goes!I'm very new to cars(mechanic-wise), I'm just starting to learn. 2morow I will be putting in the belt, changing the...

lol. I have my GP anyway, its just that now it is "technically" my Dads car... The eclipse is mine.Anywho, after a little check I did today with my father (he knows ALOT more than I do about mechanics), he confirmed my guess that it was the power steering belt. It looks pretty wasted...

Will have a check at the damper as well ;) I'll let you know how that goes...

I've never heard of the serpentine belt. Can you link me to a tutorial? Or some pictures at least? The timing belt is brand new, and a few other belts as well. I'm thinking it might just be slipping every once in a while, because the car was without use for around 6 months. Thats my guess. Once...

Turned it on just now... Squeeked again! Ahhhh! Any suggestions?

THis weekend, I finally got to drive my 1991 Eclipse GS-T! Feels great! Transmission shifts very smoothly, air conditioning is great, everything is looking pretty smooth. I got my car on Friday. That same night, when I turned it on after running it for a few hours, it started making a loud...

I currently have a A/T Eclipse GS-T with a 13g turbo. The car has been practically rebuilt, the engine is looking really nice... but what worries me is the Turbo. Is there anything I should do to the Turbo? Take it to a speed shop and have it checked? Clean it[somehow]? I need it to last quite a...

THing is I heard you needed something to tune with before getting this upgrade. So, I have to wait a while until I have enough cash for a DSMLink AND alcohol/water injection. ;)

I read an article today about Water/Alcohol Injection... I'm considering adding this to the TO-DO List, or FUTURE UPGRADE lists. It sounds great, but I'll have to continue doing some research on it. Would I still have to get a BIG IC? Or Just a stock IC (or slightly bigger) + Water/Alcohol...
