I'm planning to replace my 1998 Eclipse Spyder GS 2.4L engine with another 2.4L also from an Eclipse Spyder. No turbo, no DOHC, just the same SOHC like the Spyder GS' came with stock. Is my current ECU (1998) compatible with a 1997 or 1999 2.4L 4G64 if I find one from either of those years to...

PLEASE HELP! i am trying replace my top and we have it on kind of but have no idea what to do with this plastic part that goes by the window frame. all other tops we found were for models up to 2005 and that only had fabric. can anyone help, thanks so much!
Can someone point me in the right direction on this swap? My wife and I have her dream car, a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS.
The engine in the 99 blew up and has a massive hole in the block. Instead of buying a crate engine, we found a 2002 Eclipse GS for $650 for the whole car. We want to take...
Looking for the tail light center piece for a 2G Eclipse.The middle piece that says "Eclipse" in between the tail lights.I don't think it matters between 2GA and 2GB or between Coupe or Spyder, but it is for a 2GA (1996) Spyder GS-T.Thank you
Hello, i have a 1998 gst spyder i just bought, top was already off, took to a shop and they said i am missing a rear tub retainer, no idea what it looks like, found a junker with the top still in, any ideas?
I’m sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but I couldn’t find a definitive answer in my research in regard to a safe place to place jack stands under the rear of my Spyder GST.I’m on my 6th DSM, but all have been AWD up to this point. I’m looking to jack up the rear of my Spyder GST to...
So the car runs great aside from the slight lil rattle when I’m at cruising speed in 4th or 5th gear. Also it doesn’t do it steadily, it’s only when the throttle/rpm is in one specific spot. If i accelerate even the slightest or lift off the rattle stops rather quickly. I’m talking a very lil...
This is a long story and a lot of stuff happened so bare with me, I’m aware I’m kinda at fault for most of this, it’s my first DSM however I have some experience with them from family who owned multiple.So I went out and bought a 97 GST Spyder with 160k miles, replaced belts, replaced seals...
Hi! I’m new to the forum so be gentle lol
I have a 2g eclipse that’s a 4g64 block with 63 head. I install a new 190walbro fuel pump and it was working fine then all of a sudden the pump just wouldn’t shut off in the on position. I have changed the relays as one of them was not good. If anyone...
Hello all,99 spyder (4g64 SOHC). I replaced the drive belts recently and within a few startups, noticed an intermittent knocking sound coming from the camshaft/water pump area. The noise is like two pieces of wood knocking on each other and it comes and goes. When the engine is hot it seems...
Hello! I am kind of new to the 2g DSM, even though this is kind of my 3rd time owning one. I've kind of wanted one again after being an idiot kid when I had one and blew the 420a in it, and had no knowledge of repairing/fixing the problem. So 12-ish years later I tracked down my old buddy's 2g...
The power antenna doesn't go up or down. With a new stereo install, there appears to mass static and I found one station. I don't really know whether the head unit is connected properly, either. I imagine the installer will blame the old antenna. The old deck did get stations, however. Anyhow...
Hi does anyone know how to remove ECT sensor pins, one of my pin wires got snagged and ripped off. :(I’m trying to just reattach new wire to it and just connect it.
Hey, I've got a 1997 GS Spyder and need some help with the covertible top coming up and down.I was able to get the top to go down halfway once. Now whenever I press the button to put the top up and down, I hear several delayed clicks from behind me. Sounds like they are comign from the trunk...

Hi, I pre apologize if I am not posting in the correct forum. I have a 1997 Eclipse GS-T Spyder that is in showroom condition. It has only 24k miles on it and is in immaculate condition. It is absolutely stock (so stock that the tires are still the original since day 1). My question is what...
Hi this is my first time learning how to work on a car and when trying to remove the head I couldn't find a socket or which socket I needed to use. I also checked online but could not find it. Does anyone know what the 4g64 Head Bolt Socket and size is? Thanks.

Hi there! I recently (less than a week ago, on the 8th of August) purchased a used 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder. I paid $3200 for the car, which had 177k miles and generally was in very good condition (it seemed). Owners claimed it was taken good care of, hasn't been in any accidents and...
Hey everyone I just had my 1997 Gst spyder taken into the shop for water pump replacement and timing beltthe car starts... at idle it sounds like it’s surging. But when you raise it anywhere above 1000 rpm. It’s normal and the surging goes away totally normalAny ideas ?
The top of my Spyder is leaky, and i need a new one.
Could i get any advice on where i can aquire one, website, vendors etc? There's no point in asking the brand dealership here in Norway, its cheaper to buy and identical car.So any Spyder dudes here who can help med out?
Just curious where everyone is mounting their fire extinguishers on their 2gs, bonus points if you have a spyder and could give me some ideas. I've always been scared of a fire ruining my hard work and picked one up. Please post and or tell me about your ideas!

Hey guys, I just got the car back and running after it sat for a little over 7 months. I had a stage 1 SBC installed and now I notice it's breaking up in 2nd and 3rd sometimes.It seems to happen randomly, but only when I stab it. If I roll into the boost gently it'll be fine and rev all the...
Pretty sure the previous owner removed the factory one, which would explain why my gauge doesn’t work... I’m trying to install an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. I can find the idiot light sensor, but from all the pictures I look at, mines sender gauge is gone... is that just a cap with a nut...
My clutch went out on my 97 spyder gs. The transmission has been switched out. I believe it’s the transmission for the 2.0 turbo.
(kf5m332spzt)So, what clutch and flywheel do I get? One for a 97 spyder 2.4L? Or one for a 2.0 turbo? Also, everywhere I look, I can’t find a clutch and flywheel...
