I did not add oil to the cyl good point and it was cold.. It was like i turned the key to a different motor than im used to something mechanically happend when i turning the key.. It sounded different.. Im wondering if it did jump out of time cause that was the first thing i thought, that the...

I have a 99 GSX with 60k miles.. It has some mild mods.. HMI EVO 16g turbo, Had a blown head gasket when i bought the car, had the head resurfaced and installed a Felpro head gasket and torqued to specs, put a new timing belt and water pump..... After the repair we did a compression test and...

Cool.. Yeah i can tell it is not tuned right.. Might even have a boost leak too, i need to check for leaks with my boost leak tester again....... Also i just placed a bid on a Autometer cluster bezel to house my wideband and boost gauge. Dont have the gauges yet, but i guess one step at a time...

I see that was a 2009 Thread, guess this ecu reflashing has been going on for a while..lololololololololololololololololololololollololololololololololool... Thanks for the helpful info douche bag... :tease:Anyway I was reading up on ecu flash and it sounds pretty awesome.. Think I...

Im new to the (tune world) lol.. So by flashing my ecu what does that do exactly? How do I actually change A/F settings? is there like a hand held device I plug in?, or do I hook up my laptop to my ecu some how?Once I flash my ECU does it erase all my factory settings incase I want to go...

Still seems alittle more complicated than I would like.. Not sure if I want to alter the ecu settings completely. I was hoping to just be able to temporarily modify the A/F ratio so I could add boost and not run lean or rich.. I have never tuned so maybe this is not possible lol.. This is my...

Ha yeah it ran great and FAST before, but I have a different Turbo now so i would imagine it will need to be tuned again.. I HATE CA SMOG!!! lol.. This means if I put back the large injectors and GM MAF and MAF translator and then pay to have it tuned, I will have to take it all off again for...

I have a 99 GSX with 55k miles on it and it runs like crap now lol..Ok where do I start..I bought this GSX earlier this year here in CA and it had a bunch of illegal mods on the motor and a blown head gasket, So of course it would not pass Smog so I could get my 2012 tags.. I am a...

Yes all new gaskets..

So I have (2) Eclipses... A 99 GSX and a 97 GST.. My 97 GST is all stock... The problem im having is my 99 GSX is a dog compared to my stock GST after I did a HMI E3 16G upgrade.. The stock GST pulls harder and i have a wider power band.. The GSX used to be alot faster than my GST because of...

I have the same problem, only gets warm/hot when driving with AC on in 95+ heat days.. I have a Toyo aluminum radiator, FAL slim fans.. I just purchased a 10" ebay push fan and mounted it on my ac condensor and it didnt make a difference.I'm running a 180 stat, new water pump, and flushed...

Got my 10" condensor push fan on order. And plan on sealing the condensor to radiator.. what about the 6" massive open gap between the condensor and fmic? I hear people seal this gap as well....And does anybody have a drawing or diagram of where to exactly install ducting and where u...

I need to update my profile. I actually down graded alot of mods and put the car back mostly stock. I dont have the gm maf or maft anymore.. only difference is my e 3 16g turbo on stock boost.. i just ordered a 10" push fan for my condenser and im just leave in my 180 stat and not go lower...

I think i am all right and messed up when I looked on the timing cover.. As i just checked it again tonight... When looking at the timing cover i notice the big TDC which I believe says 10 and not 15.. Well my timing sits one notch forward from that which I beleive is 5 degrees btdc right...

Wow I can see a ton of people are dealing with this issue as well... My 99 gsx gets hot when the ac is on also.. I have a large FMIC, Toyorad Radiator and 2 FAL slim fans.. My car can sit in the sun all day running at idle with the AC On and not get hot but about after 5- 10 minutes of...

Its all stock.. what kind of intake cam issue? Like its off a tooth?

I have a 99 GSX that I recently purchased and I recently did some work on... Im trying to work the bugs out.. It only has 51K original miles and when I bought it, it had a leaking head gasket pushing coolant and it also had a few mods, 50 trim turbo, GM Maf, Maf translator, 680cc injectors...

Its an old post.. But did you ever figure out the problem? my 99 gsx overheats with the ac on only too.. i have a fmic and my Toyorad radiator might not be getting enough air flow.. but still trying to figure it out..

It's gotta be that fmic getting my car hot. There's no way my radiator is getting air flow with that fmic in front. My radiator and fmic sit about 7 inches apart... It goes fmic then a 4-5 inch open gap then my ac condenser then another 2 inch gap then my radiator lol.. when i bought the car it...

Sounds like ALOT of people have had this spuddering po300 code. Guess im just gonna have to deal with it till i can save up to change back to a less extreme clutch and flywheel... I noticed that my clutch pedal has been reinforced and has a support bracket welded on so it wont snap in half from...

Yeah I wish i could be 100% sure that the clutch/flywheel is the PO300 culprit.. Its not a cheap fix to try.. and a pain.. Dont really need to keep it under 3000rpm.. I can run it up to 7k no problem off and on up to 60-70 miles before the CEL comes on and the spuddering happens.. And the...

My clutch sucks for a daily driver! it is for racing application only and stiff is all hell.. It is a good clutch for racing but on the street its annoying.. The kid who owned this car before paid to have this 6 point ACT racing clutch and flywheel installed.. it has like 10k on this clutch...

99 GSX. Im getting a PO300 code every so often.. with in like every 70 miles or so.. i have 97 gst that runs fine.. so i did a few quick swaps on parts one at a time to see if the intermittant code would pop up.. so far i swapped out the coil.. that didnt work so i swapped out the ignition...

Yeah all maintenance has been done ..how ever the radiator was new with less than 10k miles on it but it sat in the guys garage full of coolant for 5 years. I flushed out the system ... i was thinking i might need a lower heat shield on the o2 housing and some sort of shroud that rams air into...

I have a 99 gsx with 51 k miles. I noticed that my car seems to get warm About 80 percent up on the gauge but not in the red When driving the car on a hot day above 100 degrees And with the ac on... When I bought the car it had a blown head gasket. And I went through and did the head gasket...

Thanks i will try that.... Ok so I have put 60 miles on the car since my last post and I had a few problems come up already...1. I get fuel cut every so often around 6k rpm, its very brief, but not nearly as bad as before with out the wastegate working..2. After driving my car on the...

Ok im rockin and rollin... got my car on the road finally and yes the fuel cut is gone! Thank you for the advice on hooking up the wastegate... as far as boost leaks omg! They were everywhere the new intake gasket held fibe but ALL my silicon couplings and hoses were leaking bad. I fixed those...

I bought a 7 bolt block a few months ago from this guy for $50.. it had forged pistons, new rings and ARP hardware he cracked his head and just decided to junk the whole car lol. I needed the block for my 95 gst that spun a bearing.. anyhow he just started throwing in all these random parts like...

Thanks nherron. Yeah i have a oil less compressor too 30 gallon.. takes a while.. cool well im off to get a fel pro gasket and start pulling the intake off :banghead: ..i will hook up the line straight to the wastegate just wanted to be a 1000% sure lol... i have no problems with the...

Awesome.. i will mess with it tomorrow..... with the new E316g and a massive boost leak it still seemed faster than my stock 97 gst daily driver lol.. cant wait to get this 99 gsx on the road for the first time! And running right... :hellyeah:

Yeah makes sence.. im new to turbos and mods.. i was worried about messing up my motor by running too much boost and not having the fuel to back it up.. i figured since a MBC is placed inline between the boost source and the wastegate that with out a MBC i would be running max uncontrolled boost...

So to clarify..its not good to run a direct line from the j-pipe to the WG right now correct?? As i dont have mods yet..So i should use the stock vacuum routing , including BCS, and T-Fitting to Turbo (or boost source j-pipe) just like the stock set up correct?Also i read a few places that...

I dont believe my IAC is shot just yet but i will still test it.. is there a way to install a throttle body gasket wrong? Iam hearing a vacuum leak around the gasket. That is probably causing the surge and po505 code.. its 105 degrees in my garage right now so i have been putting off going out...

Well i found a industrial shop here that carried all types of stainless an aluminum fittings. Ended up finding a threaded aluminum sleeve and stainless 1/8 barb fitting.. because it was an industrial shop the guy just gave me the fittings for free as he was to lazy to write up a tag on something...

Yeah there is a speed shop here in town with the aluminum 1/8 barb but i just gotta look around for someone to do a quick aluminum weld.. i rather not tap into the E316g unless i have to.. incase i wanna sell it and upgrade turbos later or something lol..

Cool.. well i have MBC but i dont want to install it yet till i get gauges and fuel management... im finding out that my pipes are all aluminum so i cant just weld it normally.. i will have to take my j pipe to a shop that welds aluminum... hopefully its not a grip $$$.... so basically the way...

Haha Car passed CA smog earier.. now the game changes..

Thanks Nherron good info! Guess i will have to modify and weld in a nipple.. so there is no boost coming from the nipple on air intake? Thats where i have the 1/8 vac line hooked to.. on the stock 2g air intake there is i believe 3 places for vac hoses. There are 2 larger sizes lines one goes...

Got a few expected issues with my 99 GSX.. Just did a bunch of work to it, Head gasket, timing belt and turbo swap with a rebuilt HMI Evo III 16g, IC piping, hoses, put back stock fuel injectors and MAF for SMOG here in CA... I started the car for the first time today and it fired right up but...

I know this is an old tread. But I have a similar situation I am swapping out the t25 for a evo III 16g.. i do not have a vacuum line nipple on my jpipe or on my licp. Where is the best place to hook a vaccum line to my wastegate? Right now i have it hooked to my stock 2g air intake tunnel...

$5100. For my 99 GSX with 51,000 original miles.. had $3k in brand new performance parts.. but found out after driving it 60 miles or so that it was pushing coolant ( HG leak). But no big deal i haave done 20+ head gaskets jobs. Had it done in 2 days with all new timing and drive belts and...

Haha thats awesome.. taking pride in ## ride is what its all about... and nice! Stay green with that cat converter hahaha ROFL

In Montana i imagine you could mount a machine gun to your hood and still pass inspection if there is one lol.. Here in Cali its all about the "sleeper" with all the smog BS we got to deal with.. i hate it :banghead:

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you mount your BOV upside down on the pipe will it make any difference? I want it to be less flashy.. for visual smog purposes here in CA.. :D

Yes thanks.. it turned out to be a SBR G50 according to justin.. im wondering if i could use my stock wastegate actuator off my T25 and fit it with my SBR G50 WG flapper.. or would that not work?

Awesome. Thanks... Someone said get a wideband gauge i heard.. i will check out the NXS mbc

Got a 99 GSX, that I want to add a manual boost controller and boost guage.. What do you guys recommend? Guess Im probably looking for the least expensive controller and guage that are legit and actaully do what they are supposed to.. I dont want junk, but the cheapest GOOD units that work...

Clean!! Dang you could eat dinner off those things! lol.. Very cool, gonna be a bad ass build..I would love to see pictures as this thing goes together..:thumb:
