First dsm build. 6 bolt 96 eclipse gsx

[_4g63_]

I got this eclipse in a trade for my 94 ej1 honda civic and a 95 325is with a blown motor. When i got the car it had 0 compression in the 3rd cylinder and smoked like a chimney. And it had a pretty bad oil leak from the front case.
This eclipse has been previously modified and im not to sure what all has been done to it, so this might be more of tear down and then build journal. I was looking to make a track worthy daily at first to get a better feel for the car, and eventually a dedicated track car. Im not sure where to start a partslist/plan for the car cause im not sure where its at already, but this is what i know now.
I will update along the way.

When i first got it home, next to my daily.



6 bolt motor

Eprom ecu with ecmlink v3
Fp exhaust manifold
Garret gt35
Fmic
Tial wastegate
3in exhaust all the way back
Arp head studs
Aftermarket fuel rail
Aftermarket fuel pressure regulator
Balance shaft delete
Manaul boost controller
Speed density
Braided fuel lines
Blitz turbo timer
Innovative a/f gauge

The plan of now is pull the head and check its condition. Then possibly pull the block and get it honed. And replace the rings and bearings. Do all maintance work before reinstall. I replaced the engine harness already as it was pretty ugly.

That looks to be a thermal research exhaust. Look on the tip. Lots of hack job under the hood. Ebay shifter. One of the tires on backwards? directional?
You may want to unmod that thing and start over.

Yeah bad hack job under the hood i got most of the straightened up. Yeah 2 of the tires are backward and it had lug locks with no key. 2 remote starts and no key fob. What do you mean exactly by unmod. Old and new harness pics. I still want to replace the dash harness and front harness.

And it is a thermal research exhaust. Thanks for the reply, any other advice.

I mean straighten out the harness, take off all tuning mods, get it running/idling/cruising correctly and then formulate a plan for what you want the car to do. Keep in mind you go back to stock injectors (and I think you should) you cannot go WOT. Just get it to drive with no fuss.

Does this list look about right to converting it back to close to oem?

So harness
Oem boost controller
Oem injectors, fuel pressure reg, and rail
Oem fuel pump
Revert back to oem maf
Oem turbo setup??
And non chipped ecu

Should i try to get it "running" after unmodding with the low compression? Thank you again

Some mods can stay but those that affect control should be scrutinized. Point is if the car is that modified unless you have a real good handle on it then it will behard to diagnose. You might get away with stock injectors and stock mas and get it running with a stock tune and see what happens.

Update: still trying to source a front harness. But i pick up an oem mas and air box for cheap. Now to buy a fp intake pipe with 4 inch silicone coupler. And i found the same mas on a v6 galant, same part number. Im still looking for a set of injectors. I was wondering if i leave my fuel pump hard wired to the 12v battery cable? And what should i set my fuel regulator to?

Update: New injectors came in today and my fp intake pipe can in. I havent gotten a chance to put the injectors in yet but hopefully this weekend. And im hoping to pick up vacuum hose to redo the system, everything has been deleted or capped. I still need a coupling for the intake on the sensor side too.
