so does anyone know what this is? bceause i need a new one and i dont know what you call it.

I have it out and the idle is at 1100 RPM and when i put it in it goes up to 2000 or 2500 RPM, Do i even need it?

I just wanted to say thanks to the guys at A&A Auto Parts in Reading, PA. i've been searching for the fuel fittings I need and comparing for the lowest price possible with the fastest delivery. It's hard to find a parts store where the guys have any clue what you are talking about but the 2 guys that helped me at this place are in the middle of building a spyder with a 1g head swap...

my question is why /what dose it do. Ive seen alot of first gens with this mod on the internet

I have this buddy that goes to wholesale auctions, and he picked up this GS-T a while ago. I think it has a bad rod knock. It is drivable but he only starts it to move it.

I was wondering if $2,500 would be a good deal for this car considering it needs work?

Also if you had a $5,000 budget what would you do to it? (including rebuilding it)


...

hey guys i'm back, got my engine almost rebuilt (wiseco pistons, eagle rods, acl main rod bearings, redone crankshaft, and every gasket/seal has been replaced)

but the thing that caused half my trouble in the first place was the blown stock turbo. i know with the block i built i can boost a lot higher with a bigger turbo, but i just wanted to ask about the basics that i read...

Hello here guys, I have a 97 spyder GST and I took it to the mech because it was failing like hell, so the deal is that he found a couple of things, but my real question is that the engine was running at 10 psi, the mech told that that pressure wasnt the stock one, he told me that the stock one was like 6 psi, is that true? also, he told me that that I had gold under the hood because the car had a...

Well I took off my valve cover tonight and encountered a small problem. I just replaced like 500 miles ago my plugs and wires. Well anyway 2 of my wires pulled out fine but the other two, ripped out leaving part of them stick connected to the spark plugs. Can I just slip the wire cover back on these and them work right?? I bougth them from advance auto and they were the "better" ones.

So Im manager on duty today at work. Everyone is gone and I did some laps in the pool. Anyway I took my car down around the building here at work and pulled out the POWER WASHER. I literally made my entire engine and engine bay look NEW. Cleaned all the grime under my hood (hood itself). The tranny and blcok are clean as hell. I rubbed my fingers across them and you can hear it squeak ...

I'm just about ready to upgrade the stereo in the Spyder..

I'm wondering if anyone has built a sub enclosure for the Spyder that goes in the space between the trunk and behind the seat, under where the top gets stowed. It looks like there is a fair bit of space there, and being able to use that area would mean that everything would be hidden and the trunk is usable (usable being...

Just to let everyone know, I will be gone from July 20 to August 5. I am going to Italy for 2 weeks and since I will be on a boat for a majority of the time (Once we get there we are picking up a cruise ship and traveling around the whole contry lol) I will not have internet access. =(

while racing a 90 laser at my local track having no problems on straight aways when letting off gas into corners then pressing on pedal while rounding corner car has no response until car is out of corner and response just kicks in
car never dies seems something is cutting off gas pedal response in the corners is there anything in the computer system that will limit the gas pedal response car...

Ok so I'm going through coolant like it's going out of style. It's a 98 GS-T with 113k miles, Blitz BOV, FMIC, stock t25 turbo on 18psi, Injen intake, Apexi N1 Catback. I changed the oil about 2 weeks ago with mobil 1 fully synthetic which I always use every 3k miles and it looked fine when I drained the old oil. I replaced the radiator cap at the same time because the old one was...

hello all, alright so here is whats going on. i was installing my stereo and before you know it my dumbass blew some fuses and what not. so i changed SOME (not all)fuses and then i noticed when i drove my car the next time after that it was having idleing problems like whenever i push in the clutch the RPM's go way down like my car is gonna die and then goes back up to like 750-900 and the car...

Ok so How do you guys go about making the factory 2g water lines on your turbo fit on your 420a turbo app? Cause I am quite curious how I am gonna go about doing this on my 1.8T project lol. Can you just bend them w/o causing any damage?

EDIT: I will be using the 1g water lines but I figured you 420a people would probably use the 2g ones.

So, If I installed my 450cc injectors on my 1.8 before I turbo it and install the AFC Neo could I tune it to get a bit better performance even tho I am not turboed yet?

EDIT: I know I cant run all 450cc (lol) but is there a way with the Neo that I can like limit the amount of fuel that is pushed through them but at the same time increas it from stock?

well Im plaining to send my block in to get rebuilt this year! who sholud I go with?

I know this question gets asked a lot but I really like this car and wonder if it's a good buy. Paint, body, interior in good condition, the only issue I noticed was when accelerating it seemed like after a certain speed you couldn't go any faster. Owner said they had the turbo checked and mechanic said it was good. I'm wondering if it is just a programming issue with the ecu. It...

Well im getting all my turbo parts today in the mail. I want to finish getting the rest of teh stuff I need for my build. Im going to have the evo manifold so Im sure the 16g will work. Let me know what you guys have. Even a stcok 1g turbo will work for me as long as it bolts up to a evo mani Im good

i just bought a x02 front mount for my 1g ecplise and i just need the piping and wondering the bes place to find it.. or should i just go to a muffler shop and try to get them to bend up some 2.5 mild steal? thanks guys

I am looking at getting a 1995 Eclipse GS-T 101 K miles. Nice shape.
Wife and I took it for a test drive. Normal acceleration felt well normal.
But it seemed to hesitate a bit under hard acceleration, Like going from 40 to 65 on the on ramp. the car accelerated, but the speedometer didn't indicate any change of speed.

The salesman told me that the waste gate wasn't et...

i few weeks ago my stereo wouldnt make any sound but would still work fine. i took it to get fixed and the guy said there was a fuse missing. now i have the same problem. wat fuse would cause no sound to play?

I'm trying to find the most cost effective solution *cough cheapest cough* that will allow for the best tuning when considering these factors.

If I have the gauge in the car I can watch the pressure as I make runs and adjust with the DSMLink accordingly. But I will need someone to watch the gauge as I make adjustments under the hood.

If I have the gauge on the FPR I...

Whats the news with this guy and his rocket talon? Last I knew he had to put up his car for a season, because it was "unsafe" for his record passing times.

That guy is a god for the 1g's

as u all know my car is all messed up lol i still havent hear from the shop but i have been talkin to other ppl about it. they had said it sounds alot lik timing issue as it is 180 out. is that possible to have all the issues im havin with bein 180 out?

I noticed on my 93 that my timing skipped a tooth. This was just a quick notice when i was changing the alternator this morning. Now heres what i have noticed, The turbo has trouble spooling over 9 psi (MBC set @ 14), is this a symptom the timing being off? especially if its the exhaust side (not sure which side yet)? I doubt i have to worry about bent valves bc it was only 1 tooth that it...

Anyone know what the factory bolt size is for the bolts that connect the J-Pipe to the 14b? I am gonna start assembling what I can since I am bored haha

ok i need help i have a 1997 eclipse gst and it has a problem or two. first when im driving some times and let off the gas and push in the clutch the rpms goes down to like 50 - 100 and almost dies but not all the time, so please give me some ideas.

As I have stated in a previous post I am going to start building a 1.8T for fun. I will be posting all questions in this thread along with all of my pics, etc.. of the project.

To start it off I just bought a turbo and intercooler off of a 1990 GS-T for 100 dollars gotta love ebay default/biggrin.gif' ...

So i burned up my original evo 3 16g turbo, and bought a replacement off ebay.. got that and had to go to war and fight though paypal to get a refund, due to the fact that it was junk.. all slopped out and broken intake fins... all of course were not pictured or talked about on the add... paypal sided with me, and i am waiting for the money...

i have a 99 eclipse gs and put some skull valve caps on it and they wont come off, ive tried using pliers but nothing seems to work.

HAHA nothing wrong guys, just looking at all the fricken oil in my valley area on my valve cover. I noticed a black sensor like thing attached to one of my bolts. Anyway its like busted to pieces. What does this do and what hooks to it? It looks like a clip of some sort. Its located to the front right part of the valve cover if your standing in front of yoru car.

the 2.0 motor sorry for...

My oil light is on in my dash cluster. Its bugging me alot lol. My oil is at the full line and not burnt. My oil pressure gauge seems to be working ok on and off, but the light is on the dash. Anyway to tell WHY its on?

I'm about to remove my dash from my 98 eclipse GS, to look for a squeaking chirp that drives me crazy when I drive on bumpy roads or whenever im into an hour of driving, its possibly from a loose screw ? which appears to be coming from the dash area.

I am following the Chilton's Repair Manual for this operation. Hope all goes well.

Anything I should be warned about,...

So I am doing the conversion today and as I'm looking at the tail light set up the Talon has a plug for the blinker light that the eclipse tail lights don't have. Has anyone done the conversion? How will this work with the tail lights?

i know theres tons of options but what do u guys think the best one is

I have 91 Eclipse GS and just wanted to know what I can do make it faster. I want to rebuild my motor and was wondering if anyone had any good kits out there or what to use? Thanks

Okay, so I bought a Fel-Pro bottom end gasket set for my 420a. It has everything I need BUT the bedplate o ring. I looked at pictures of thier set and to my surprise there was no bedplate o ring provided. Then I went to my local autozone and found that in thier set there isn't a bedplate o ring either. Same story with napa. However the bottom end set for the neon, avenger,ect... all have the...
