I will run over a few different ways to tune starting with the least recommended to the most recommended. All will require AFC or other suitable fuel tuning device, will assume that you understand how to your your fuel tuning device, have installed the proper mods for the application and are running a proper fuel pressure. This will also be in laymans terms so that everyone that reads can...

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...

One of the many complaints I receive everyday is how the new users and owners are treated. Some are kids with their first car and others are older people who just can't seem to find the clip on the air box. We need to welcome these new users with open arms to this forum, into our community.

One thing that some people fail to realize is that new members are a very valuable part...

Ok, I’m bored so I’m going to try to give a very detailed answer to this plaguing question.
First we'll start with a glossary:

Hey i have a 98 eclipse spyder gs-t and i 'm pulling the engine but i need to shift the tranny over (or drop it) so i have enough clearance to get the engine out. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to move the tranny without having to disconnect the driveshaft and balljoints. All i need to do is shift the tranny over a couple inches.... i'm assuming i'll need to drop it but...

Alright so, im only 16 first off, im savin up for a car. I just started getting into modding and stuff, and i have some older freinds who do it. I plan to mod the car i get a bit, and eventually "race" it when i feel im good enough. I figured i would get like, a 97-98 gsx, but im having trouble finding any in my area.

I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST 98 ECLIPSE GS-T SPYDER IT IS MAKING A SWISH LIKE NOISE WHEN THE TURBO KICKS IN ,THE BOOST GUAGE GOES ALL THE WAY UP PLEASE HELP

After a three plus month hiatus (dead 1990 GSX with a collection of issues, including defunct ECU) I today finally got it fully back together again, insured it, and went for a shakedown run.

It went pretty well except for the interior right front A-pillar trim again popping loose and rattling, but more significantly, there was no sign of my turbo ...

is there a hereditary starting problem w/gsx? mine ran fine and than it would run for a second or two and now it fires a little when turning over, acts like it's out of gas.....but i know it's not! monday i'm going to check injector pulse, fuel pump and spark, maybe even the computer if all that checks out.......just wondering if mitsu has had starting quirks in the past?

So I have looked around and I haven't seen anywhere where they suggest a CAI and a turbo. In my head it sounds like a good idea but I feel like I would have seen it somewhere if it worked. some help would be great!

I'm new here. I just bought a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. The interior and exterior are almost perfect. Only one minor problem. Actually its quite large. Someone tried changing the engine to a 1997, and supposively it ran on two cylinders. I started calling around and I have been told they are different motors. The 1995-1996 and the 1997-1999 arent the same. People opinions on what...

Hey guys,

I came across this the other day and I’m thinking about looking into it because it looks pretty legitimate. I was just wondering if any of you have used it or have seen it before? It’s a 90 minute instructional auto detailing DVD with hot cars and hot girls!
It Looks cool!

Here are some clips from the actual DVD on YouTube:

How much cost wise would it take and what mods wud be involved to get a eclipse GS deep into the 13's?

Two days ago my clutch started to slip under high boost in 4th.

Two questions:

2. What should I look out for when getting this replaced? I'm a little paranoid because the clutch was supposedly replaced around a year ago (before I...

I have a 96 spyder that leaks from every corner. First it was the corners by the driver seat then the passenger side started to leak? Next the water starting to get into the trunk.

1997 gsx
blown engine swapping with a jdm off ebay.

Help! My mechanic says the engine I purchased is a 95 or 96 and has different connections for the cam angle sensor. anyone know a fix for that? He says his only option is to switch the cams and internals from my blown engine. great more labor costs!

Well I have had my Eclipse parked for like 3 weeks now because my radiator cracked (cheesy stick one with the plastic core) and recently bought a new one.

ok so my car is driving funny and i can't figure it out. I am pretty sure it's fuel related, but if I give the car a lot of gas it drives normal, but when I go over 3200 rpms it feels like something is just holding it back and it doesn't have the power it should have. The turbo is working, but also on the freeway when i have it on cruise control, it feels like a bike does when its...

I have decided that even though gas prices are pretty high i still would like a turbo app. and why not try something different?
I know there has been alot of discussion on the 1.8l Turbo and thanks to a post on dsm talk I have created a list of things ill need for a 1.8l T app.

Im planning on buying a new car and need some experts opinions. A white automatic gsx with 90,000 miles or a silver gs-t manual with 50,000 thousand miles. half of my friends say go for the gsx just because of the all wheel drive. But i think the gst would be better becuse of the low miles. what do you guys think. And is all wheel drive that big of a deal. there also both 1999.

My GST has been having issues for awhile now. It starts everytime, but 3/4 the time it only runs on two cylinders. Some times it starts right up, but eventually goes back to two cylinders. I have narrowed it down to three things, Powertrain Control Module, Crankshaft position sensor, or the Camshaft position sensor. If anyone knows how to troubleshoot any of these things your help would be greatly...

Hello everyone...I'm new to the forums, but I do read a lot here. I've learned lots from reading your posts and have really started to love my car....sure its an RS but I don't need more. Ha.
