I'd also like to let everyone in the Southwest DSM community know that I build 1G and 2G DSMs. I've built quite a few 420As and a couple of 4G63s. I offer complete engine builds, transmission, and turbo setups. I don't do general repair work—only full builds.If you're looking for someone to...

Hey guys, in an attempt to secure the connecting the harness completely broke. I ordered one but I know I am going to have to re wire. Sadly the one I ordered only has black and white cables so won’t be able to match the colors. Can someone grab a pic of there’s so I can know the proper order? I...

Hey everyone, I’ve got a question. A few months ago I bought an Evo 8 ECU, and the guy who sold it to me says it has two maps—one for E85 and one for 93 octane. How can I verify that? At some point a tuner told me that to run E85 on a DSM, you could only do it with a standalone ECU.Thanks for...

Hey yall, just been browsing the internet for aftermarket stuff for our 2gs and came across sheepeyraceNow their exhaust manifolds for Mitsubishi stuff is just evo 8/9 and x, but im curious, has anyone here ever had their stuff and do their 8/9 stuff bolt up to our 4g63s?Just a question...

Hello! I’m new to the community, I just bought a 97GST 5 speed. It came with a rebuilt motor and transmission. A friend of the previous owner built the engine and I’m not entirely too familiar with internal parts for these, could anyone give me some insight on them. See pics of receipts down...

Hello all,I realize that this is one of those questions that have been beaten to death, buried, dug back up, resuscitate, beaten again, and reburied but I have a question that I have not been able to find the answer to. I realize for a single catch can setup, the general consensus is to route...

Let me start off by saying that I am fairly new to the DSM world and am learning as I go.So here is the issue: I purchased a car that was in pieces and I am trying to get it back together for daily driving, though it may make around 400hp. I just noticed that the water pipe that came with it...

Just wondering if the MAF 1400 code is unimportant. Car runs ok, idles a little high (1000-1300 warm) but im chasing that down. Replaced the MAF and the connector and im still getting the code (pending). Should I ignore it until I get linkv3 and toggle off? Or am I risking drivability issues?

Ok, so I’m starting my next build and I’ve never tuned anything.My question is what can I do performance wise before I actually need to invest in DSMLink and start getting a tune? I know a tune will always help any mods we do. But what is the actual limit of the factory 99 GST ECU before the...

So I am in the midst of rebuilding my engine and I took it to a machine shop to get resurfaced, bores rehoned, etc... While we were both looking at everything that had to be done we looked at the valves and he said that if I chose to I could reuse the same valves and only had to replace the...

What’s up guys. I have a 1998 GST 6-speed that I’m going to build due to having rod knock. I live in Moreno Valley/ Riverside CA. My question is, do you guys know where I can get my car tuned after I finish the build. I’ve taken my car to two different tuners in San Diego in the past and have...

I have an issue with my car misfiring, my tuner believes it's a tuning issue among my 1220 FIC low impedence injectors and my MAF however neither of us can figure out what's really going on and we are stumped to all hell about itCan anyone that knows this stuff help us out? I will get some...

I have a 4g63 97 Eagle Talon Tsi Fwd Auto but I don’t know which one I have. I came across the page on how to find it on VFaq You must be registered to see element.I think I have a 7 bolt but I just want to double check with more people that know more about these engines. Here are some...

I'm doing a 4G63 head swap on a 1991 Mighty Max using the head, ECU and wiring harness from a 1995 Eclipse. The ECU has an ECMLink EPROM. Do I need a vehicle speed sensor to be able to tune the ECU properly? I'm using the original 5 speed manual trans.

I had a theory that adjusting the fuel pressure regulator and trying to start may tell me if it's either the fuel pump bad, or the fuel pressure regulator bad. Adjusting the fuel pressure regulator did not help at all though so I decided to try something else.What is the fuel pressure output...

So I replaced both sensors for engine coolant temp. I know they are picky and specific to which sensor has to be installed, make or model or trim ect can throw it all out of wack. Need specific sensor for mine which is a 98 GST. ANYWHO! I 300% made sure I have the correct sensor but my engine...

This might be an easy question to answer but I was curious if theres any difference between the 4g63’s in the 1g and 2g or are they the same? And if there are and differences what would they be?- James

Here we go.I've had this car for about 8 months now. Always had an oil leak near the timing side of the motor. Timing belt drenched in oil, entire driver side covered, and I mean everything.After taking it out after being garaged for almost 6 months, it ran fine to work but broke down omw...

[Edit] I'm actually stupid for posting this. Please move on, you'll see nothing but nonsense any further than this. Deleted the cringe for your sakeI don't want to be GIVEN the answer necessarily although I wont argue. I just want to know what to tell the machine shop so I don't look like a...

I was debating whether or not to start a thread over this, however, I am curious if these specific pistons with the type of damage they have are able to be saved. I figure this will offer a future resource on top of what is already out there to those looking into these pistons or if someone...

Hello, I need some serious help. I have a 1998 Eclipse GST. It was an automatic and was converted into a 5-speed.Like all the transmission swaps, the reverse lights need to be connected. I read some threads on how to do it and proceeded to follow the step by step instructions that I found. I...

I’ve got a bit of mods on my 2g Eclipse GST but, I’m not sure that it’s enough to make 450-550whp while still being able to daily? I know it sounds absurd but for now my Eclipse is the only car I have other than my brothers 03 Mustang GT (which is our drift car so it doesn’t really matter...

Okay, so I went to look at a 3G eclipse today and stumbled upon a 2G GS-T decent condition minus no transmission. I'm very interested however the owner said something weird that is bugging me. They said that the car needs a transmission but it is "European" therefore the transmission is mounted...
