Hey guys, so I finally made the jump to SD and right away I can tell I am going to have a lot of learning to do. I dialed in idle pretty good I would say, but I am completely stumped on cruising. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I posted a cruise log for anyone willing to help. What I do...

So guys, I'm trying to get an oem replacement radiator for my car because my end tanks are starting to fail by the looks of it. Been on AutoZone website, O'Reilly's, and Rock Auto. There are so many different brands (Murray, Duralast, OSC, Denso, Spectra) of OE replacement radiators.. anyone...

Hey guys. So this problem has been occurring since 2012 and was one of the many reasons I just didn't drive my car. After I did a ton of work to get my car running again, the battery issue still persisted. I think it's in my relocation I did to the trunk. And I wanna say it specifically has to...

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my fuel gage improperly reading my fuel levels in my fuel tank. I have a a 1999 Eclipse GSX so AWD. Ever since I installed my new walbro fuel pump, the fuel gauge won't read anything for fuel even though I've put gas in the fuel tank. I know there has to be a...

Hey guys, so I finally got to installing my 2150s. They're brand new and I have the data sheet from FIC but I'm not really sure what to do with it. Especially because the voltage offset columns jump from 39 psi and to 45 psi and I do not have the info for 43.5 psi for my 2g gsx (1999). Even if I...

This looks freaken' awesome! Idk why no one has thought of it before. Just the production value on the trailer looks amazing! Who else will bingewatch this?!:

Haven't watched it yet but these guys make the best videos on the history of different cars. Never thought they would do our cars but they did! Tell me how it is!

Not sure if this is posted in the correct section, but I figured it would be a good idea to start a thread on anyone wanting to run e85 (like me) and concerned about maintenance. I know there are tons of threads on e85, but I think this would be very helpful and organised instead of having to...

Hey guys, before I go ahead and buy AN fittings and lines, I wanted to know:Do all AN fittings use the same thread pitch? As in, can I buy a random brand AN weld-on bung and then buy another brand AN fitting and screw it on? Given that they are both the same size of course...I guess what I'm...

Hey guys, so after finally getting my car running, I've probably started it a total of 6-7 times and have driven it three times. The last time I drove it was the longest which was a total of 5 miles Just to get tires changed. This entire time prior to that I never had a single leak, but finally...

Hey guys, so after finally rebuilding my head, changing timing components, all belts, water pump, etc. I decided to drive the car for the first time in years to test it out. I drove just a short distance around the block to see how things would go.What I noticed was that on my aftermarket...

Hey guys, so I finally completed my head rebuild on my car. It's sat for four years and I finally got it back and had the funds to do these things. I should be posting up a build profile soon as well. Anyway, everything went great with it and I double, triple, even quadruple checked things to...

A little background before my question. And sorry if this is noob. I am just about finishing up my first ever cylinder head removal/install and have replaced a lot of parts along the way. Made sure everything was lined up and at tdc before continuing on and finishing up.Finally, I installed my...

Hey guys, so I found an interesting article of our beloved cars on Car & Driver today. It's actually kinda' depressing lmao. Enjoy: http://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/turn-around-total-eclipse-of-the-mitsubishi

Hey guys, I'm a little confused when trying to order a motor mount for my car. It's the driver's side that I need but Rock Auto's descriptions don't really help. It'll only state "front right" or "front left". Well I feel like that varies from someone's perspective vs the car's perspective lol...

When running an evo 3 intake manifold, I know it's possible to run the stock 2g coil pack with it, but is it okay to run stock evo 3 spark plug wires on a stock 2g coil pack?

Hey all, finally started working on my car after it sat for four years. I'm removing the head. When I removed the valve cover I saw that my exhaust side looked completely fine but my intake side not so much. Idk if it was because my car blew a little bit of white smoke before I stopped driving...

So Sunday is the big day (head removal) and I was wondering, would it be a wise idea to seafoam the car BEFORE I remove the head? Or after?My car hasn't ran for 4 years and is sitting currently so do I have to drive my car in order to make the best out of it? Or can I just rev my car to clear...

Is there any way, if the rubber part of the crankshaft pulley is torn or separated, you can repair it? My car has just under 100k miles and once I take the pulley out, I'm not sure if it'll need to be replaced or repaired. Basically, is it possible to replace the rubber part of the crankshaft...

Hey guys, so I'm prepping for a removal of my head. And although I've found numerous threads with great info on the process, what I'd really like to know is everything needed once the head goes back on. As in what gaskets will need to be replaced? Etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums. And that's because I didn't have the funds to work on my car and life just got in the way. Now that I'm gonna be getting my car back from my friend, I don't know what I should do. The car has sat for almost 4 years and I don't know if...

So, cruising the net I ran across a very interesting article!https://autos.yahoo.com/news/electric-turbochargers-forecast-boom-gas-mileage-gains-150005366.htmlNow, from this, it's basically concluded that electric turbochargers are going to be way more efficient in power than the...

Hey guys, so being that I'm getting some parts replaced from my transmission, I'm in somewhat of a dilemma. The mechanic working on my car says I need to replace my flywheel. He showed me that there was an act 6 puck racing clutch disk and pressure plate which happened to mess up the flywheel...

Hey guys, been a while since I've actually posted anything but as I'm trying to get my car running again, I have to replace some parts. I got some shots of my tranny and needed some terminology on seals so I know exactly what to order to replace. Any advice on parts would be great too. But...

Anyone around my area that is very knowledgeable in the field of dsms? I really need some work done and don't have a lot of time on my hands to do it myself. Or the knowledge for that matter. Typically, I'd attempt it myself but I don't have the tools necessary. Any insight would be appreciated...

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all succeed in going through with whatever plans you have for 2013!! My plan is to finally get my car started and running after a head rebuild:hellyeah:Anyone else have any resolutions?! Post them up!

Well there appears to be white smoke coming out of my tail pipe and at this point, I'm pretty sure it's my head gasket going.. No milky oil but overflow tank does seem to get low kinda' quick. All the money I was saving up for some exhaust components and coating will all be going to maintenance...

Hey guys, as you all know, the holidays are coming and I've been saving up for some nice parts. This includes cams. Thing is, before I get cams (and springs and retainers) I was wondering if there is anything else to consider? Should I get head work done before? Or can I take the bite and go...

Hey guys, so I'm pretty sad because I just got done with a battery relocation and the car won't even start :sosad:. I replaced the 8 gauge wires from the fusebox (4 all together) with 4 gauge wires and ran it to a distribution box. I also extended the 4 gauge power wire from the starter to a...

Hey guys, I just bought a battery relocation kit off of someone and wanted to finally do it on my car. I just want to relocate it to the back and not worry about NHRA approval just yet even though I have the kill switch and battery box.I've seen many threads on how to do a relocation for a...

Hello all, I just got done installing 3 gauges on and got two more left. One of them is the DB gauge for my LC-1 wideband. Checking through the installation methods, I went with:Narrowband simulation install (DB gauge, Logging, ECMlink v3 setup) [LC-1 sensor placed in front o2 spot] Red...

Hey all, I'm super pissed right now after trying to install an oil filter adaptor plate on my car. Basically, this adaptor plate has 4 holes to screw in senders for gauges. For the unneeded holes, I was given bolts to screw in. Well, all the bolts ended up leaking oil. No problem, I fixed that...

So ever since I removed my whole EGR system, I think I've gotten addicted to clean engine bays and don't want to stop there LOL. I love that all the junk around my intake manifold is cleaned up but I know I can definitely do more.So I before I continue onto my questions, I have read up...

I just wanted to know what most of you guys do to take care of your beautiful powder coated valve covers :D. I have mine powder coated black but as you can imagine, it catches dust very fast. One day I tried whiping it with a napkin but it made very fine scratches which bugged the heck out of me...

Well I didn't know where to post this so I thought maybe this would be okay. If not then I apologize in advance and feel free to move this over to another section.Anyway,I wanted to delete my EGR and was wondering that, other than deleting the hoses, can I delete the valves and solenoids...

Okay so I just did a fuel pump rewire today. Everything went smooth and it ended up being successful. I THINK!! How do I check to know if everything is actually working how it's supposed to for the rewire? I mean the car started up just fine and maybe idled a little iffy but that was because of...

Everything so far was going great for my summer project until just yesterday this happened. It has been annoying the living heck out of me and I don't know what the issue might be :confused:.On my way to work yesterday, I got in my and started it. The second I pushed in my clutch, I heard a...

Hey guys I just did my first two logs on 3rd gear pulls. Well it just so happened that at part throttle around 2400 rpm, I got 95* of knock (at the most). I'm new to all of this but I'm sure that can't be good. What exactly should I do? Should this be dealt in the same way as WOT knock? Do I...

Quick question guys. As this school semester is coming to an end very soon, I plan to finally install all the parts that I've been collecting. Regarding fuel system, I wanted to know if I should get the tank to rail kit from STM. Is it necessary? If so, how and why? If not, well I'm sure there...

Hey guys, I just got a new set of FIC injectors from MAPerformance (they rock!!) and I hear a lot of talk about flowmatching injectors. I'm not sure what the benefits of flowmatching are or if it is necessary but was wondering if FIC flowmatches their injectors before sending them to you...

Alright guys so here's the deal. I know this has probably been asked many times. I'm going through thread after thread searching on the PROPER way to prep for paint as I've never done this sort of thing before. So I basically came up on some rare sideskirts (2ga talon twisties :hellyeah:) and DO...

Hey guys. I've read plenty of articles on how to remove my balance shaft but I've read it's a total PITA especially when the engine is still in the car. I have nowhere near the amount of tools needed to take out my engine nor the knowledge to do so. Does anyone know of any place in Cali...

Hey guys. I'm currently in the process of building up my car and my short term goal so far is hopefully 350hp. Well as of right now, what I have in the car is a E3B16G MHI turbo, evo 3 O2 housing, punishment racing FMIC, Greddy Type RS BOV (leaking so will be replaced by 1g bov), Injen intake...

Hey guys so I found a supra (Denso) fuel pump and I'm sure it's the one that most members on here use for their cars. I just wanted to know what you guys think of it. Do you think it's real or fake? The seller is top-rated and I'm sure this comes with all the parts but I wanted to ask and make...

Hey guys, I am now just starting to make some money and I'm really looking into buying some supporting mods for my car to boost. I want to get an afpr by fuelab I just don't know which one to get. I see there is a 515 series, 525, 535, 545, and a 565 series. Exactly what would make the 565...

Hey guys so I just got new gauges to fill out my pillar pod which fits 3 gauges. All of them are the Halo Prosport gauges. One is an oil pressure gauge. My question is if I'd be able to use both the stock oil pressure gauge and aftermarket oil pressure gauge at the same time. I don't like having...

Hey guys. I got a problem with my passenger door. Before, I couldn't get it to lock which was a huge problem just because I didn't want my car to get stolen when I would park by school. One day, my bro was able to help me finally get my door locked. The problem was, he got it to lock but we...

Hey guys. So I recently installed my Greddy Type RS in my car with the help of my friend. We then tested it out trying to fix any issues with flutter. The adjustment screw was pretty tight cause all together, I probably loosened it with 7 full turns or so. Anyways, typically it would flutter at...

It's about time I changed my accessory belts. Power steering and alternator belt to be more specific. A few days ago my power steering bolt tore up a little bit. It still ran fine but I knew it was time to replace it. I figured that I'd change out the alternator belt as well since that one must...
