just wondering what choices there are for headers in 2023 since these other threads are from the 2000-10's. I plan on getting a new exhaust system but its going to be a cat back and I want to replace my factory headers as well.

Recently I had to pull my head because of leaking valve stem seals causing me to burn oil and since I’m running a fully exposed timing belt I was wondering if it’s at all possible to have a non interference set up If I use a thick enough head gasket and how thick do I need to go.The oem cams...

hey i've finally put the motor and trans back in my car but there's some wires on the back of the motor and I don't know where they go. Could someone please give me a picture of how its supposed to look, thank you in advance.

I'm sorry if I missed a different thread explaining this but I didn't see anything helpful to me when I searched for a while.I'm extremely confused with the vacuum lines in the back. I'm installing a replacement engine and I can't set it up because I have 2 lines to connect (I think) and I...

My car door used to not lock with the key in the ignition. I locked my keys in the car yesterday (scary how easy it is to break into these cars), they were in the ignition and realized that something must have broken when I got back in and tested it out. Anyone deal with this before, know how to...

First time posting, a little sad, my reliable 2gNT Eclipse GS 420A I've had for the past 5 years that never cause me any issues hit a massive puddle during a sudden Ice storm in Montréal last week. The engine did not get flooded although the battery light turned on for a short minute, and...

Eligah here, new to the DSM forumI recently got a 1998 eclipse RS from my befriends dad, it has been sitting since 2005. The only thing he told me about the car is that the car was running one day and it just gave out on him. Late last year I brought it to the shop I intern at and got the...

does anyone have the torque specs for crank girdle bolts and head studs?

I'm honestly just wondering who all has experience with their 420a at the rev limiter and is it safe with stock internals because 7300 seems ambitious

Im currently rebuilding my 420a motor from the bottom up (I have to replace main bearings and possibly resurface the crank) Im about to pull the timing belt off but there's 2 problems 1- i cant get the stupid timing cover off without breaking it and 2 - I really just need tips for timing the...

I have a 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with a turbo kit on it from the previous owner, it’s had tons of money dumped into it but I don’t want to run it until it’s been serviced and with an aftermarket ecu since the stock ecu is still in the car with a “split second voltage clamp” wired in, my friend...

My 1996 eclipse 420A is burning oil… big surprise. It’s got 126,000 miles I change the oil every 3000 miles. I don’t really have the money to pull the head, or do a rebuild. I’ve read some people use rotell while others are using 15w-50. I know thicker oils are just a band aid for burning oil...

To start off the headliner on my 1996 Eclipse GS is sagging. I know about how to normally fix those but this is different. There is not really an actual headliner. It seems to be some sort of foam just put in place so it looked alright. (I was 16 and stupid when I bought the car) but I’ve been...

I've noticed a slight tick or rattle when I'm at a dead stop and give it a soft rev. The sound appears when the rpm's are almost back at idle.

I was changing out my intake back to the stock airbox cuz I'm trying to just keep my esi pretty much stock besides a few things and I noticed a sensor that's connected to the harness through a male connector but there's no wires connecting the sensor to anything. I'm just trying to figure out...

I'm not really expecting to get an answer since 420a gurus aren't around anymore, but I'll do this anyway.So I've acquired a few sets of 420a cams. Bought them up while they were all around $400 for a set (some are discontinued completely now while others start at $580). I've already decided...

Hello,I have a 1999 Eclipse N/T, Yesterday went to start it and it just cranks. I am getting fuel but no spark. It rained the day before, idk if that has anything to do with it but figured it may be important. First thing i did was unhook the battery terminals and connect negative and...

This is going to be a long explanation thread, to the set backs of getting this car painted.May be irrelevant but drove through a really bad storm in the 98’ Eclipse not intentional, lowered and drive through flooding. Car has a minor transmission leak which can be expected for sitting for two...

On my 1996 eclipse GS (420A) I don’t know if my expansion valve or compressor is bad. When I turn in the AC with a gauge connected to the high and low side of the AC, the high side doesn’t drop pressure and low side doesn’t gain pressure. I’m not sure if this is a symptom of a bad expansion...

Hello, I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. I am dealing with an electrical problem dealing with the A/C HVAC control. I was driving one day and my A/C went out.Blower switch wasn’t turning on and the HVAC lights weren’t turning on. I took a look at the fuses in the interior. I saw that 10amp...

Hi, broke my ECT connector and need the car running asap. I was thinking that I could stop by the local junkyard but the only engines they have there are the 420a. Not sure if the ECT connector is the same.If any wiseman of the 420A could help a fellow DSM friend out.

Hey, so I'm still trying to figure this car out, but just yesterday I was driving down the road and the oil lamp started flashing, but not an stable flash, it's kinda weird. At first I thought it was maybe the sensor's wiring since it started turning on with the road imperfections, but when I...

Hey brothers! I am still new to the DSM world and I will admit I'm not too keen on most of the stuff these cars are capable of or as in tune with all the things you can do with these mechanically since I'm more of a 3G Eclipse 6G7X guy and I have more knowledge on the V6 SOHC 24V cars as I own 2...
