Hey everyone i know i am new but i do have a few questions to ask about fixing up my 2002 GS. First off, i have a synchro problem so i was wondering if anyone knew roughly how much it costs to replace ALL of the synchros. That would be very helpful, also if anyone in the area i live in has a hook up, that would be appreciated too.

Next, sadly i cannot find any performance parts for 3G Gs's anywhere. It's all for 3g gt's and earlier Gen Gs's. Does anyone know where to find these parts? Or possibly what parts substitute the best for them?

Those are pretty much the only questions i have for now, any answers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

first off man, you do not look for parts according to trim. you check for year, make, model, engine size. it also helps if you check according to transmission automatic or manual.

you have a 2.4L SOHC engine, the engine code is 4G64. if your having trouble finding modification parts. thats really all just you. have you ever thought of just typing in the google search engine for parts? also when you do that, you have got to be meticulous about finding the right price, i mean unless your pockets are deep that is.

what kind of modifications are you looking for? i can tell you right now with a N/A motor that you have, intake is about the only thing you can do to help performance. then either slap on a turbo or do all motor mods. if you go for all motor i suggest you don't get exhaust until you have completely rebuilt your entire motor.

also you might want to try and find the free guide to race tuning. its has mods like lining up your spark plugs gaps to point to your intake valve for 1 HP gain at the wheels. i know that may seems like very little to you, but when you add in everything they have that you can do for free, or next to nothing. it ends up being 15-20 whp, not bhp. it will cost you about $20 altogether. thats cheaper than any other mod you will pay for to get even close to 20 HP to the wheels.

anyways, since i am the first to answer to your topic i want to be the first to tell you, anything on ebay, except for intakes is either a scam, or crap. unless of course it is a name brand product. there are ebay stores that have their own name brands as well which are still crap, so stay away from OBX, OZ, or anything else that you can't seem to find anywhere else but on e-bay or a ebay-like auction sites.

the intakes from ebay work just fine until you decide to turbo your car after about 15 psi, then the high flow filters tend to restrict enough air in them that they collapse on them selves and crush like a beer can.

Listen to bulletbyke,
Where is this guide and what out of it have you tried and found success with,If its free and it works Im on board.

the name of the guide says free in it, i can't remember the exact name thats why its so hard for me to find if. you have to buy the dang guide to do all the mods. i think you can get it on e-bay as a e-book for like $3, but don't quote me on that. plus i keep coming across it and i mean to book mark the site but somehow i keep forgetting to. its really frustrating. if i find it on ebay i will buy it

ok i found it, its called "The Definitive Guide To Low Buck Performance." its going to cost me 14.95 cause i have to buy it directly from the site. i should have bought it when i saw it on ebay, no one has it in any ebay stores. but oh well, not like its all that much.

ok i read the entire thing and quite frankly i was not that impressed. i'm going to get my money back from them. it was talking a lot about mods i have already done, and of other mods that can very possibly damage your engine. i'm not going to remove my balancer belt, or completely plug off my EGR valve. it also talks about taking out your valve cover return lines out and replacing them with oil breathers,so you stop getting hot exhaust gases in your intake. who doesn't know about that? oh and my favorite insulating your fuel line and your full intake, manifold, throttle body, intake arm. this is normally for desperate racers looking to get a edge on the competition between races

then there was the crazy old throttle body and intake manifold spacers. lower temperature thermostat i think ours are set at 180 degrees and you can buy one set at 160. yeah it will cool your engine better, but it will also make your heater not as hot. if your heater is really hot then go for it, but as i have learned from all the complaining the Eclipse heaters suck ***! these are all mods i have heard about without this guide, the only thing it did was bring them all together in one little e-book.

then there was the cowl cooling effect. put bigger bolts and some washers under your hood hinges so that the heat can escape from your engine bay.(i know you thinking the same thing i was thinking. isn't that going to make my hood be pushed up in the back and the whole flushed against my cars fenders look will go right out the window screw that noise.)

inputing a manual fan switch so that right before you do a 1/4 mile run you can cool down your engine bay.(taken from any top fuel drag team) remove the power steering, and remove the a/c pump. oh thats original oh heres a funny one, port matching? i wonder how much of a secret that is DERRRRRRRRRRR!

there is something abut hooking a potentiometer up to your IAT sensor to trick your ECU kind of like the stupid ebay "25% hp gain" chips, but with this one it lets you find the correct resistance to set it at, and it is adjustable. then it goes on to talk about "true"synthetic oil and how it gives 2-3 HP gains if you use it.

ok heres another one that i even mentioned to someone. remove the extra bank box on your stock air filter box so that you have a high air flow system. it even goes further and says to drill holes in the bottom of the air box to help it. i said that you should just remove the bottom of the air box and duct tape your filter in place. not going to get much more air than that.

i do however give it up to him for the speed governor thing and the intercooler cooler thing they are actually decent mods i have never heard about, i can't mention them here because it says to not share their secrets. since i have heard about all the other mods from other places i have no reason to hide them from any body here. its not copyright material if i have know about it since i was 19. that was back in 2001.

now i know i have told someone long before i ever got this e-book about using tubing to make brake ducts so your brakes are air cooled.

this e-book didn't even have the de-screened MAS. probably since it was written by a Honda modifier. Honda's have their MAS in the intake manifold along with their IAT sensor. not exactly smart!

Thank you for all of the advice. My engine is a 2.4 DOHC not single. The car is also a 5-speed manual. I have tried to type into google with exact specs of what i am looking for and all that turns up is 94-99 gs-r parts and all of the rest of the parts are GT. I wouldn't have posted the thread if i had not already tried this myself.

I posted this thread to see if maybe some of the other parts listed for different models work in my car or will work in my car with slight modification. My pockets are entirely shallow and i will be saving for all of the parts i purchase, which will be in the near future after i fix my synchro problem.

Thank you for all of the tips and help though.

If you have a 2002 eclipse GS you have a SOHC engine.

I'm just saying the top of the engine clearly says, 2.4 ltr DOHC

pictures.......... i want to see proof bra, i think we all want to see proof, especially since you say its reads 2.4L DOHC. the only 2.4L DOHC engine i know of came from Dodge, and i think the engine mounts were different the engine code was EDZ I4. maybe not, but i'm pretty sure about the motor mounts being different, and i don't think the stock transmissions would swap over.

going :offtopic: for a moment here.
i wonder if the DOHC from the dodge motor will swap to our motors?

What speed governer/intercooler thing is this you're talking about?

alright i'll go take a picture with my cell phone and get it up here some how

woops i slipped up, it just says 2.4l no dohc. i thought it did but i have probably been looking at too many honda pics.

so there arent really any ups for my car?

I can see why you aren't finding anything - it's much easier when you look in the obviously places first, like forum stickies:

CX racing make quality parts but I don't think he has anything specific for the 3G platform. (Lots of EBAY stuff)
