I know this is VERY old, but it's just for some info for the 420a guys that have questions about the capabilities of their engine. I will delete any post that tries to turn it into the 420a vs 4g63 argument.

420a turbo build / What do I need? -- WRITTEN BY PWEE05
Please see post from “red97gst”

I want to start by saying building an engine is almost like ordering a hamburger. Everyone likes something different and your build should reflect that. If you do decide to build you have complete freedom to build EXACTLY what YOU...

Well, no one on other sites seem to be able to help me with this, but I figure people with similar cars can.

I drive a 1997 Eclipse GS 2.0 N/A.

I just notice a lot that whenever I throttle hard enough, as soon as the RPM's hit 3000+ under acceleration, I start hearing this very loud whistling noise, which gets louder and louder, and then...

Ok so my car will crank fine if it has sat for a while. It will even idle fine for a while, but after it gets to about average temp, it starts to cut out. I don't know what is causing this, but the check engine light will not come on. Then usually if I cut it off I can't get it to crank back up until it's sat for a while. I've done the on-off-on-off-on thing and the two codes I got...

I have a 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse (5 spd. manual), and I wanted to know if it would be worth it for me to get an intake for it, and if so what I should get.
The problem I am having, is that the car had 166,000 miles on it. I bought it about a month ago, the mechanic said there were not major problems, just a minor oil leak.
Is it worth it to put a air intake on the car?

can a 97 bumper of a gs fit on a 95 gs? do i need new lights or anything? thanks

i have a gs with blown head gasket,and its going to sit for awhile,well im also buying another eclipse but its a Rs,and the ecu is bad,so i was going to swap out the computers,if i could so i have something to drive ,so i can get my other one fixed.

anyone know if that is possible?i might just go to the junkyard and find me another computer.

I bought a 1998 talon that was knocking and wouldnt hold an idle....it has the 420a engine with a 16g hahn racecraft turbo kit, it has bigger injectors, and bigger fuel pump, front mount, stage 4 cams with ignition box, Apexi Safc un tuned with a software update from chrysler, Je pistons, rings with 8 : 1 compression, maybe like 4000 miles on them..... The compression test showed 190 in 1,3,4...

1998 eclipse rs automatic
Alright so i got my check engine light checked and it is a loose gas cap. i wanted to know if its alright to unplug my battery without messing anything up with my cars settings?

So my parents have a 96 Chrysler Sebring and they complained it was too low, well I found out it have an Eibach pro kit lowering springs. Since then I have replaced them with stock springs, But my question is would the Eibach springs fit my 97 RS? I mean i known the two are virtually the same cars.

Hey, I'm looking for the cheapest, yet most effective way to upgrade my eclipse for more WHP. I'm not saying I want the most effective thing out there, obviously. Just something that runs max about 3 or 4 grand, something that I can work up to.

I know absolutely NOTHING about cars. I've read about swapping out some pistons and whatnot, it's a cheap solution for over...

has anyone used the obx intake manifold and are the gains pretty good?
Thanks

1998 Eclipse GS, 420A.

i've had it looked at once and said it was a common issue but no for sure answer was found, i was first to check the map sensor which i already replaced and bought all new plugs and wires.

car ran a little better throughout the day and the next its doing the same old thing

the spark plugs get completely charred black and my exhaust blows...

ok first off im about to get a 1998 Mitsu Eclipse RS with 100k miles in good condition for 2500. the only mechanical things i noticed were the check engine light which he got serviced and said was a loose gas cap. and a constant (not very loud) chirp coming from the right part (under the hood) of the car. is this worth getting?

i just got a eclipse it is an auto and i wanted to get it into the 350 hp range at the wheels can anyone help me out with a list of what will be needed thanks for the help

[FONT=Times][SIZE=7][COLOR=orange]Was almost home yesterday, when it sounded like the engine fell out. Found the timming belt broke and I need some help. Could someone provide me w/ manuals or links for the engine / trans. I gotta figure out how to get the head off to see the damage done.

Thanks,

So I just got a '96 Base Eclipse and (obviously) it doesn't have a tachometer. I was just wondering if there was any way that I could possibly get one put in where the space is for one next to the speedometer. Anyone know if this is possible? Or even likely that it could happen? I don't really know where I could find one / how to do that.

My car has had trouble for awhile now. My mechanic found the problem. My car has been in an acceident before and I guess the previous owner changed the computer for it. The problem that I am encountering is the wires are not welded together so I am having problems with my secondary fuel injection (valve A).
My question is should I get my computer reset so it may not read this code? ...

I plan on buying this car but I'm kinda new to buying a mitsu so bear with me.
I saw an ad in craigslist selling this car for $2600 and with 170000 miles.

The car has a moonroof. No power windows. The exterior has a few small dents, with a tiny bend in the hood. And its missing a door handle on the passenger side. The interior itself is extremely clean (though i still...

i have a 95 auto gs and time to time when i first crank the car my check engine light will flash 3 times, pause, 2 times, pause, 3 times and turn off...any idea what this could be???

well ,i had to redo my freeze plugs on my head and removed my timing to get to one,and now i have it all together but the tool i rented to put my harmonic balancer back on does not work,my treads inside the crankshaft are to far back to grab with the tool i rented(which is what was called to use for my car).I dont think your suppost to beat it on enough to get the bolt in and run it on all the...

so i just bought a 1998 eclipse and it is pretty much stock except for exhaust so i need some advice on some mods to give me more horsepower, and yeah i have read the bulletins that say get an exhaust and a cold air intake but i believe that those 2 things are not really worth the money yoou pay for them just to get like 10 to 15 added horsepower so anybody with any ideas to get some better...

I only looked over the transmission for a moment and found the drain plug, it was dark so I couldn't see much, but the fill plug, (from what I'm used it) is not in a regular spot...so my question is..Where is it? Anyone have a pic? Thanks

Okay so i just got my clutch kit, with the intentions of doing it myself with one or two of my friends, today at work someone told me i might not want to do it and pay a professional to do it. well a few months back my head gasket blew and my father and i did all the work ourselves and i admit it was hard and time consuming but that doesnt bother me cause my dad had been working on mustangs and...

Im kinda new to the tunner scene and was wondering what
muffler type or brand i would get the most preformance out of.
i have a 96 Eclipse RS non-turbo 2.0 litre

ok... I got a 99 RS a few weeks ago. It was running great. After a few weeks I noticed the oil level had dropped, and found there was a leak. I did notice the oil pan was a little soft when I changed the oil right after buying it, and the drain plug threads were not exactly perfect.

So, I scored a new oil pan and gasket. I noticed some extra silicon on the old gasket, so someone...

yeah, i just installed my cai and i was wondering whats the best bypass valve and where is the best and cheapest place to buy em at.

Ok I have finally finished my car that I have been working on and off on for about a year and a half(busy man) but anyway. This gas is very weak now so I have to drain the half a tank that is left in the car. I bough a syphon but I can't get it to the tank becuase of all the bends in the fill tube. Any ideas. Is there a way that I can undo the fuel line before the filter and remove the relay...

Hey guys, I own a 95 eclipse GS with a chrysler 420a engine. Some people I have been talking to say that the GS with the 420a engine is much harder to get parts/upgrades for IE turbos and all that then the other eclipse models like the GS-T or GS-X with the 4g63 engine. Just wondering if there is any truth to that. any input would be appreciated ...

Ok so I just rebuilt my motor like a thousnad miles ago. Replaced everything. T-belt pistons plugs plug wires etc. Before i rebuilt it I had a really rough idle and when driving the car it would like sputter and stumble on itself any where under 3000 rpms. And now after my rebuild its still there. I dont know what causes it. When sitting at red light it has a rough idle like it shutters and...

Recently i noticed my rear right tail light wont blink but the left one does. It comes on and everything. Someone told me it could be the flasher box. But i dont know. Where is the flasher box anyways.

hey guys my car is kinda sluggish and sputters a lil as of late if i accelerate hard i know i need to change the air filter and maybe if i threw in some fuel injector cleaner would that help?

Ok one of my friends has basically everything he needs to turgo his gs. He plans on running 6 psi on a small 16g and his car is all up to date with maintence. He has a boost gauge and a narrowband (crap yes I know). Does he NEED to get this car tuned after he installs his turbo? Everybody's trying to tell him that it's gonna blow up and I keep telling them that they're stupid. ...

any idea on how low i should make my car (im guessing 1.5 inches)

I gave up and paid the 60 dollar charge to figure out and run test on my car, so after sitting in the little waiting room thing for almost two hours he walks and shows me the print off from the computer and it says MFI asd relay, and so i thought to my self i just changed that. there's three little relays on the firewall i changed the wrong one, so instead of having them change it for 168.57 i...

how much would the coil pack do? maybe when i get another one it wasnt any good, so maybe i need another new one, im running out of options here i dont really know anything else small to do to it before i go waiste 500 bucks at a auto place

subaru did it with the legacy and now its a rumor that BMW is tryin to do it sooo....why couldnt I do in to my eclipse? How would ya do it???

I know the throtle body on my 95 GS manual needs to be cleaned, and I have putting it off for awhile.
I was wondering if the best way to clean it, might be to just pull the entire thing off, break it down, and clea every little piece and part.
Is this a good thing to do, or is there a better, easier, way?

Yet again it runs ok for a few days and guess what? Tried to start it earlier WILL CRANK BUT NOT START... I let it sit for 30 minutes and it starts, and when its cold outside it doesnt do it. I changed the fuel relay and the crank sensor and it ran fine for a few days. Any other idea's i just traded for a set of wheels earlier at the guys house it started doing that crap again. I took it to...
