just kinda curious if we can get this to kick off in the mitsubishi forums. just post a comment of what you did and we can see if we can keep this going! it doesn't have to nessacarily be today. can be anytime that u just want to throw out there. u can post pics if u want to show what you did as well. its up to u. have fun with it!
like ill start it and hopefully we can keep this going.
Today i got the exhaust on and got the new rims mounted

Too many people on the forum,say there car wont start but it cranks and tries to start.
And too many people check a few things,give up, and take it to the dealer when they could save a lot of money.CHECK THE CHEAP STUFF FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So im gonna help out and all the moderators im sure will add things ive missed but here goes.
#1 If you turn the key and nothing happens,Check the battery.This is simple just use an ohmnmeter to test the voltage.Not the battery then check the alternator and all starting circuit wires.Also check to see if the battery wires are corroded.
If your car cranks over but just doesnt fire up....
First see if there is spark.Just pull a plug,And have someone try to start it. (Need help just ask)
Second check to see if there's fuel at the fuel rail.There will be a test port that you can push and fuel should shoot out.
If fuel does shoot out,then have someone stand by the gas tank while you turn the car on to acc.They should hear the pump prime.
(DONT HEAR THE PUMP PRIME) CHECK the Fuel pump relay.Its a cheap part to buy or you can probe it.You will need a manuel though to see how and what the specs should be.Use a multimeter for that.
If you bleed the fuel at the rail. turn the key to acc and also hear the fuel pump prime..
you could have a fuel pump on its way out(aka its not working all the time),
clogged fuel filter,or a hose leak see if there is a puddle or some leaking underneath.
BUT if fuel is at the fuel rail and you have spark,your injectors may be clogged.
You can also backprobe your injectors to see if they are getting a pulse.
If you work and work and nothing checks out....
THEN TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND SPEND THE BIG BUCKS TO SEE WHAT THE HELL IS UP.
REMEMBER ALWAYS DO EASY THINGS TO HARD THINGS,too many times has the problem been a $5 fix and you gave up,took it to a mechanic and spent $500.

I don't want this to turn into the auto vs stick argument. It is just for discussion on aftermarket items for the auto trans
I've been in contact with a very nice guy who has developed a manual shift box for the auto trans dsms(1g and 2g) that is very similar to the IPT manual shift box but much cheaper. I also like his design better.
The easiest way to understand what it does is to think of it like an auto stick you can install on your car. You install the box, put your car in drive, flip the on switch and when you push a button it shifts up and when you push another button it shifts down.
the only difference is that, so far, you can't control the lock up clutch or shift pressure with his like you can the IPT version. HOWEVER, his is $165 and the
IPT version is $569 not to mention he is working on a way to incorporate those options into his box. This will also appeal to the guys who don't like autos for road course or rally racing.
I've invited him to join our forum to add some input on how these things work. I haven't bought it just yet (but i'm sure I will very soon) to let anyone know how it works. He has had some others use it on other forums like DSMTuners and DSMTrend, and those people have nothing but good things to say.
Any thoughts?

I know what water methanol injection is and how it works. I am just wondering if it can be used on a daily driver? I have looked at all of the kits and I want to know if there is a way to toggle the system on and off so that it is not wasted on trips to school or if it is best to just leave the system on at all times. Or is it just best not to have it on a daily driver at all? Are the kits hard on a motor (in my case a 4g63)? I have a 97 GSX that is all performance.

Here is a list of commonly used acronyms or "shortened" words and what they stand for. The list assumes that you already have a pretty good knowledge of your car already. Please refer to the FAQ thread in the "How To" section for more basic information. As always, please add on and I will keep updating this thread

DSM - Diamond Star Motors. Any 1g, 2g that has a 4g63 engine in it. The 420a does not fall under this category, it is Chrysler made.
OEM - original equipment manufacterer. Anything your car comes with from the factory is referred to as OEM
ECU - Engine computer. Controls pretty much everything that has to do with your engine.
BOV - blow off valve. Vents pressurized air from intake system. Used in conjunction with turbochargers.
Recirc - the pipe that goes from the BOV to the intake. It recirculates the air vented by the BOV.
UICP - upper intercooler pipe. Typically aftermarket and made from metal. BOV mounts to this piece
MAFT - MAF translator. Used in conjunction with a GM MAF
GM MAF - MAF sensor from a General Motors vehicle. Typically 3" diameter with a black sensor housing on top. Installed in UICP after BOV. Two functions include: 1. ability to remove the stock MAF thereby increasing intake flow; 2. allowing one to vent their BOV to atmosphere getting the "whoosh" sound without the ECU corrections that result in poor performance.
BFP - base fuel pressure. 43.5 psi on 2g 4g63 cars and 1g 5-speed cars. 39.5 on 1g automatic 4g63 cars? (please correct me I don't think that's right)
AFPR - adjustable fuel pressure regulator. allows one to adjust their base fuel pressure. To be affective an AFPR with a 1:1 rising rate ratio and pressure range of 30-70+ psi is necessary. This acronym refers to an aftermarket regulator.
FPR - fuel pressure regulator. This acronym typically refers to the stock regulator.
SMIM - sheet metal intake manifold. Aftermarket.
TB - throttle body. Mounts to the intake manifold and regulates throttle operation/air intake flow.
SMIC - side mount intercooler. Stock on 1g and 2g 4g63 cars and mounts right in front of the passenger wheel. Sometimes an OEM supra SMIC can be used as an upgrade but typically refers to the one that came with your car.
FMIC - front mount intercooler. Aftermarket intercooler that mounts in the middle behind the front bumper.
BAR - Metric measurement of pressure. 1 BAR = 14.5 psi.
PSI - pound per square inch of pressure. Standard measurement of pressure
VAC - vacuum. Measured in mm/hg = millimeters of mercury and is opposite of PSI/BAR.
RPM - revolutions per minute. How the speed of an engine is measured.
AFC - air fuel controller. Typically this refers to a device made by Apexi that allows one to make adjustments to fuel at user specified RPM and throttle position.
TPS - throttle position sensor. Mounts on the TB and tells the ECU how far you have the gas pedal pressed.
CPS - cam position sensor. Typically found on the exhaust cam of 420a cars. 4g63 cars use a trigger plate on the intake cam or CAS. This sensor tells the ECU at what position the cams are during engine operation. Cam position is measured in degrees from 0-360.
CAS - cam angle sensor. Found on 1g 4g63 cars. It tells the ECU what position the cams are in.
TDC - top dead center. When the piston in the first cyl is at it's highest point.
CYL - cylinder
TURBO - turbocharger. Uses engergy from the exhaust system to spin a compressor wheel thereby compressing the intake charge and forcing it into the engine.
Injector - fuel injector. Basically it's a valve that opens when an electric pulse is sent allowing pressurized fuel to flow through into the intake charge.
O2 housing - a cast housing that transfers exhaust from the turbine housing/wastegate to the downpipe. OEM on 4g63 turbo car turbo's
DP - downpipe. Exhaust pipe from the O2 housing to the catalytic converter
CAT - catalytic converter.
Mitsu - mitsubishi. If I needed to explain this one you probably wouldn't be on this board

External Gate - wastegate actuator that mounts in an 02 housing or turbo manifold
External Dump - a pipe that moutns to an external wastegate that vents its exhaust outside of the exhaust system.
AWD - all wheel drive. Eclipse GSX, Talon TSI AWD and subaru's are all wheel drive. I shouldn't have to explain this further
FWD - front wheel drive. All 1g/2g dsm's that aren't awd and all 420a cars are FWD
HP - Horsepower.
BHP - base horsepower or brake horsepower. The power your engine makes measured at the crankshaft.
TQ - torque
ftlbs or ft/lbs - torque
WHP - wheel horsepower. The power your engine makes at the wheels.
AWHP - all wheel horsepower. The power an AWD car makes at all 4 wheels.
AC or A/C - air conditioning. Keeps you cool in the summer time and steals about 35hp.
FIAV - fast idle air valve. A valve that has a wax pellet inside of it. The pellet is hard when the engine is cold thereby allowing more air into the engine during idle. This keeps the idle higher than normal and will help warm the engine up. Once the engine is warm the pellet melts and then restricts some of that additional air allowing the idle to come down to where it should be (700-800 RPM)
ISC - idle speed control motor. Found on 4g63 cars this sensor controls idle speed. It also is the reason your RPM's drop and then come back up whenever you are at idle and turn the A/C on.
IAC - idle air controller. A sensor with a plunger that controls the amount of air getting into the engine at idle(warm or cold) thereby controlling idle. Found on 420a cars
MPG - miles per gallon. If you need this explained please google

N/T - non turbo.
N/A - naturally aspirated. Meaning that vacuum is used to draw air and fuel into an engine. This engine does not have any kind of forced induction.
CAI - cold air intake. Usually a long pipe with an air filter on the end. Its meant to extend outside of the engine bay to draw in colder air
SRI - short ram intake. Usually a short pipe with an air filter on the end. It is meant to reduce restriction drawing in more air than the stock intake system will allow.
BRM - something that is ghey or stupid.
Crank - crankshaft
Rod - connecting rod
Stroker - typically a 4g63 engine that has been modified with a bigger crank and shorter pistons turning it into a 2.3L
Destroker - a 4g64 engine with a 4g63 crank, longer rods, and 4g64 pistons turning it into a 2.1L
Cam - camshaft.
WOT - wide open throttle. your gas pedal is on the floor
WBO2 - wide band O2 sensor. This is the ONLY sensor that will tell you your actual air fuel ratio. the A/F gauge is just for show
A/F - air fuel ratio
A/F Gauge - air fuel gauge. pretty light show that works off of your stock narrow band O2 sensor. not accurate, for show only
NBO2 - narrow band O2 sensor. OEM sensor that takes a guess at the A/F to let the ECU know how to make fuel trim changes.
FTW - For The Win. typically used to describe something good.

LOL well everyone should run a holset as a daily driver. It was hard for me to accept it, though I was witnessing it, but this turbo literally spools as fast as my small 16g with identical mods (I swapped between the two and maintained the same boost for the sake of comparison). It's a great street turbo with more top end / peak flow than many "race" turbos.
WRT boost I run, it settles at 28-30 psi depending on the nature of the weather now. Most of this summer I was experimenting with it a 25psi. Which at even 25psi, the heat from compressing the air is still too hot for pump gas and my 20" X 9" X2.5" intercooler. I run a 3gal/hr nozzle for a fine mist plus a 5 gal/hr nozzle for combustion chamber cooling; and run 80/20 water/isopropynol. This is the big h1c from the 1991-1993 INTERCOOLED cummins turbo diesel ram pickup. They have the 54mm inducer compressor wheel. It flows around 3 lb/min less than the hx35. This puts it right at the flow of a 50-trim and a hair more than a 20g.
I can run around town out of boost just fine without injection. The pump isn't activated until about 8psi. This is what almost ALL decent kits allow. So to answer the question: a decent WI kit won't be on all the time bogging the engine and running you out of fluid. Only there when you need it. At a certain boost. Now DSMlink lets these fuel injectors run just as if the factory installed them: perfectly stoich (14.7:1). 14.7:1 is ideal for fuel mileage and doesn't require knock supression when out of boost, as this is how the factory ecu runs you when unmodified and out of boost (closed loop). Beating around with it is just like any other dsm with 272-style cams. On boost is where things change. . . My dsmlink logs showed 2lb/min more airflow at 2psi LESS boost from the holset at the same rpm

, around 5200rpms. The reason is because the wheels are much more efficient. More energy is converted to boost instead of wasted as heat. So less exhaust gases are needed to achieve a pressure threshold. Ball Bearing has nothing on simply more efficient turbine wheels and compressors.
Since it rises to 30 psi by 3400rpms, if I were to play with it at all, most certainly knock supression is neccessary for pumpgas.

I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. It has the tan interior with black dash & door pulls,etc. What years will have door panels that look the same? I need the drivers side door panel or at the very least the black shell that includes the door pull and power window switches. The back shell on mine has collapsed/broken.

anyone know of a good coil pack to get for the 4g63?
my stock ignition keeps breaking up under boost because the connector where the wire enters the coil is busted.
it burned the wire on cylinder-1 in half before and its starting to slowly get the wire i replaced it with too. every month or so since then i have noticed progressively more and more ignition break-up.
i was looking for an MSD but all i found were 420a packs. anyone know where i can get a good replacement?

Can the oil pump on a 4G63T interfere with the crankshaft? Here is the situation:
My son was driving his Talon with the fresh rebuild. He noticed the car lunge (power surge), saw his oilpressure drop, then shut the car down. He was going about 60mph. He opened the hood, and saw that the TB was 50% gone. He had the car towed. He then found out the the gear came off the Oil-pump, allowing the belt to rub.
Now at the shop, he is having a real hard time moving the crank with a breaker-bar. The cams move like they should (he will not move them all the way to prevent hitting the pistons with the valves), but moving the crank is a slow process.
Could the oilpump be causing an issue with the crank? I know it is belt driven, but wonder if the problem with the pump is internal to the engine. I suggested he drop the pan and look, maybe even remove the head and inspect, but he just wants to be sure before tearing down the whole motor.

I posted this in another part of the forum but maybe its better in here
Hi,
How would I go about removing the interior boot/trunk panel on an Eclipse GS? i have water getting into the left side of the car when it rains heavily. I have cleaned out and checked the drainage holes on the car (next to where you fill up the rear window wash) and have confirmed the water is definitely dripping from the trunk lid.
I can see four small holes around the edge of the trunk lid, two either side and two on the bottom. The one on the left which is the same side the water is collecting, appears to be blocked by another piece of metal unlike the one on the right. Im thinking of drilling this but before I do im looking first how to remove the black plastic panel on the inside of the car because the water is dripping from this!
Thanks in advance guys

Hi, I'll start up my car and the lifters will click for the first like min or 2 and then go away and then after driving they start clicking a lot again.... Everytime I turn or stop kinda hard my oil light has been coming on.... The first time this happened I checked my oil when it was cold and didn't see any on the dipstick so I added a little bit and then started up the car and I was a little over... I know its probably not good to run a little over but im planning on changing the oil soon... I just want to know if anyone else has this problem with there oil dummy light coming on? My oil pressure gauge is broken but don't think that should have anything to do with the light coming on.

I just bought a 99 Eclipse Spyder GS. One of the last things to fix has to do with the convertible top. When I raise or lower it, there is a horrible screeching sound. It still rises and lowers okay, but with the terrible sound. As I have not yet fooled around with this part of the car, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and knows what I should do and give me some pointers as I jump into this.

I found a AWD automatic for $2000 cash and runs, but I guess has something wrong with not boosting right or something. How hard would it be to convert to manual? Serious Noob question but please help guys.
Please list all parts needed for swap and a best guess at cost of parts alone

Hi, my car started starting weird the other day where when I turned the key to start it I would have to hold the key for like 15 seconds because the engine would turn over 2 - 6 times very slowly and finally starts up the car. I noticed that my positive cables were really corroded and I put on a new battery terminal connection on there and connected all the cords and it wouldn't start so I cleaned the positive cord connectors that connect to the battery terminal connector if that makes since... Then it started up no problem...
Now its starting to start weird again and sometimes not at all so I have to go clean the connectors again... Is it hard to completely change out the whole positive cords?
Sorry this message is really confusing just don't know how to word everything.

Hi guys,
Im possibly going to buy an Eclipse soon but after spending many hours browsing through this forum im non the wiser on the car im looking to buy.
What are your opinions on the 16v version of the car? (I know its not as good at the GSX etc but I cant find anything better here in Sweden (Im english BTW, but living in Sweden))
What kind of engine Mods can you do to this model of car? Is it possible to squeeze a few more HP out of it?
Now this is where im REALLY confused. As i understand this is a 1g Eclipse, but I dont really understand the 420A chit-chat that goes on in these forums.
Im sorry if my post is just echoing other users. I honestly have taken time to read up on myself!
Cheers guys

99 eclipse rs. Has a dual tip muffler on it. Super loud, keep getting pulled over for it, finally got me a ticket. Thought it was my flex pipe hole, just blew an arm fixing it and i still dont think its quiet enough for the cop to drop the ticket. Basically the fluke that had the car before me put a muffler on it that dont get me wrong sounds amazing, but attracts cops and tickets that i dont want to pay for. I need a new muffler and the only one i found dual tip so far was matrix (POS fart cans) and i dont want to waste my money buying another muffler thats going to be just as loud. Sounds good but isnt ridiculously loud, any suggestions?
=)

Edit: I found one by megan racing? idk the reputation of them so idk if its any good

I have a tanabe exhaust and I put a silencer in it but I was wondering, does this cut from the performance because it restricts the ability for the exhaust gas's to escape the muffler?

Hey guys,
It's been a while since i've posted on the forums. I've had a surgery since then on my hand and a whole ton of other stuff going on so it's good to be back.
I've been working on my car again and I think it's time to swap out the engine to a 4G63T. I'm swapping from a 1993 eclipse with a 4G37. I know i'll need the harness, complete engine, transmission, and ECU. I won't be using the cyclone manifold if the engine comes with one; I've read that it's a total hassle getting it to work. I have a mechanic that will do the work for me (a good friend of mine). Before I spend my hard earned money i'd like to find out which distributor out there is the most reliable and honest (lol honest) when it comes to providing a quality engine with no bs. Have any of you had experience ordering through a JDM distributor and who in your opinion would you recommend?
Thanks all

Well i bought the car a month ago and havent driven i yet, im checking it to make sure it is safe and while checking it i noticed that the intak manifold gasket was sticking out. Now i dont know if its supposed to be like that or the person that installed it put it wrong.

I have a 95 GST. I think I might have a boost leak but Im not really sure, this is my first Turbo car and Ive not had it very long. When I go above 55 my car sometimes starts spuddering, like its flooding itself out. When it does it I can push in the clutch and wait for the RPMs to fall down to 1 grand, then give it a little rev and throw it back and gear and it goes fine for another min or two. When it starts spuddering I lose all power and I also noticed that my boost gauge usually reads a little above or exactly 0 kph when it happens.
I seriousy dont know what to do.. it runs exactly fine when driving around town or taking off from a dead stop. But when it comes to cruising above 55...it just doesnt want to do it. My car specs are. 1g 6bolt 4g63 engine... HKS 272 Cams...550 Injectors...Denso Iridium sparkplugs with racing wires...Small 16g Turbo with MBC set at 15psi. It has 1g rods machined so EVO pistons could fit. I just installed the plugs and wires because I thought that might be the problem...didnt help :-( So can anyone tell me my next step?

Hey all. I posted this in the 3g forum, but knew id have a much more knowledgeable group to work with here. So anyways, I have to keep raising my idle, but the next day it will be back down to putting at 500-600 rpm. I have run out of room to turn it up anymore! so what the hell is going on? is there a bad sensor or something?

my 96 gs-t has been having some trouble recently. when i reach about 2500-3000 rpm and my turbo starts to kick in, i lose power, the car jerks (more dramatically in gears 1-2) and small backfires occur in my exhaust. has anyone had this problem and found a solution? check engine light is not on, so i have no codes to offer. thanks in advance.

Long story short: girlfriend bought car. Previous owner removed 2 out of 3 brackets (not entire sure) that hold CV axle carrier bearing (?) to the engine block = not safe = trying to find those OEM brackets!!.
This is what he told me (from what I caught), a CV axle attaches to the motor through a carrier bearing of some sort. This is attached to the block by 3 bolts, each bolt having it's own separate bracket.
The bracket that is there is holding the carrier bearing thing to the block.
That's all that's there. The two other brackets that are missing are supposed to be holding it to other stuff.
Any info? I'm going to be looking online for some diagrams, so if anybody knows where some are please feel free to post the links!
I'm not entirely sure what this is and might have my wording wrong, so I'll update if I clarify anything.
Mitsubishi guys you're up!! I know I don't ever post on this forum, but it's my GF's car and I gotta help her. I appreciate any input!

I hope one of you experts can help me out here 'cause my wallet is getting mighty thin. I have a 99 GS-T Spyder 2.0 turbo. I replaced the stock Garrett turbo with a Mitsu Evo III 16G. Continued to get blue exhaust smoke. Plugs looked good, compression within factory specs. Pulled air intake line from airbox to turbo and saw oil so I replaced it with another 16G 3 days ago. Still blue exhaust, pulled air intake to find oil again. What the hell is going on? Both times I primed turbo VERY well. Am I missing something here?
