Back story: Purchased a 98 5spd Eclipse a month back to use as a daily driver. Everything worked flawlessly. Front end was misaligned due to a previous collision. A business acquaintance offered to help me get the frame pulled. Took off all front panels, removed battery but left ECU under the...

Don't know if I'm just tired or what, but I can't seem to find my notes on the measurement of the center to center distance of the rear caliper carrier. Do any of you have this info on hand? See pic below.[img=http://s15.postimage.org/9g25n8syv/rear_face.jpg]

So I still have my eclipse but I've brought something else into the relationship now :DHere is my 95 Toyota Supra

Here is a pic of my set up.. installing this week. Looking to see if anyone has used a progressive controller here instead of just the momentary switch. Starting with the lowest jets at 75hp. I feel like that might produce quite a jolt. So chime in and let me know your opinion.

No matter how much power I wanted to create from my car, I always knew I wanted to keep A/C for summer time. I wanted to use the center of my console for gauges and other aftermarket controls, so the components had to go. Here is what I came up with, and yes its operational.<a...

Check out the pictures below and let me know what you think has gone on here. I can't see any damage to the LSD.There are particles here on a paper towel, some look like teeth shavings, there is a small spring, a small ball bearing, and what appear to be many broken small pins. There is also...

I have been scouring the site for hours trying to find a trace of that 420a turbo car that was running 10's. The only thing I can remember is a picture of the car with an exhaust cutout from the from passenger side bumper. He just posted a dyno sheet or track video not too long ago and I CANNOT...

never really showed off this car from my collection because I wanted respect as a noob when I came to this site. But here it is, me and my buddy parked for a few shots today since it was finally sunny and clear enough for us to drive. The V10 R8 is his, mine of course is the eclipse star car...

Has anyone here running the crower 2 turbogrinds experienced any oddities in vibration throughout the RPM band? Here's what I'm getting at.There is a very odd but distinct vibration at about 3k to 4k. I will try and articulate the sound being made by this vibration. driving with knobby dirt...

Does anyone know off top, which other clutch/pressure plates are compatible with the 420a Aluminum light weight flywheel?Just recently toasted the fidanza 3.2, but not really looking to spend big money for the Fidanza upgrade if I can find an alternative.Let me know.

I had too many problems with my SFP manifold and turbo setup in general so I decided to try tubular. I got a great deal on a used OBX which i'm almost done fabbing to work. On my way however I picked up some other manifolds I thought I might try to hack and fit, here are my fun findings.420a...

I just received my 4g63 7bolt crankshaft kit from autozone today. I had a few questions.1: Crank says for use with engine casting "G93" what are we looking for here?2: I haven't been able to find pictures, but on the casting of the crank near the rod journal, there were holes that...

I guess when it rains it pours... in addition to the post I have active my 95, I now have an issue with my built 96.I got in my car as I do everyday. Started it up. Let it warm up, which I do EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive it. Oil pressure was at 55 cold then 30 when warm via Autometer electric...

I'd like to say for those who may frequently answer my posts, yes I still own five of these 420a eclipses, and yes a new problem :(Car: 95 eclipse RS N/T Trans: 5spdProblem: No start (no spark)Items checked: - MFI relay - ASD relay - Cam sensor - Crank sensor - Coil pack...

Before I head to the dyno, I want to make sure I have everything I need to benchmark 400hp. I just updated my profile to include any and all changes made within the last month.Read my mod list then follow me here. What other monitoring/data log equipment can I use to help me while road...

Build: ported polished head (purchased from user) ARP head studs Cometic HG I put everything together and bolted the ARPs 25-30-50-85 (moly lube)after only five to ten minutes of running on initial start up, I let the car cool down, came back after work to top...

on my daily driver I am using the vortech FMU. I have a 9ft -4 rubber vac line from the intake manifold, running back to the FMU mounted just beside the FPR. Attempts to hit WOT result in a complete lean state under boost unless I let off the pedal a bit. The car will then go rich. Aside from...

I've been keeping my build kinda on the hush. In addition to my new Quaife fitted transmission and DSS axles, I got this in the mail.I'm going to be approaching 500hp what do you think of my selection?

Ok so I've taken apart the bottom end of one of my blocks for educational purposes. I also wanted to see if my digital micrometer was accurate. These are all OEM parts from a 97 with high mileage (but clean). Here are my numbers:Rod I.D. 51.05mm / 2.01in Bearings 1.52mm/ .06in...

I am a 420a N/T guy but I can pull and swap just about any engine you throw at me. With that being said, I'm in the dark when I do other jobs relying on manuals and web forums mainly for misc. details. Thats what I need today, some details.I pieced together a 7 bolt for a friend and dropped...

So I've pretty much got enough parts here to build two performance motors. You name it I've got it. With the exception of drivetrain components. Before I dive into that I wanted to see if any of you have heard of this AWD mod on the 420a?There is a guy out in AZ right now working on it but...

I am serious however, when I ask. Is there anyone actively using the OBX camshafts? I want to know because I have a set installed in a brand new head attained from a recent car purchase.The person told me the head was built to work for the cams i.e. modification to the valves, springs and...

When I first found the item I thought it was an FCD but quickly realized the wires are running elsewhere.The device spliced into the intake temperature sensor here; That black box you see. The wire gauges are huge on the device. Before I remove it please offer me a few suggestions as to...

So I traded a used 97 front bumper and head lights for an AEM wideband today. I feel like it was a good trade. I mean I had like 4 sets of head lights and 2 bumpers in storage anyway.What I was looking to see, is the final word on the AEM unit. Should I sell it and move on to another brand...

So I may need a new tool but correct me if I'm wrong, can I use a vernier caliper to measure the cylinder diamater? I don't have access to a bore gauge. If I can get an accurate reading with it, then my piston pulled was 87mm and the bore of the cylinder wall 88mm. What are we looking at here...

I have this on a shelf next to a few FMU's. I can't tell if this is an FPR or an SFMU. It's been about 4 years since it was used and I can't really remember what I got it from. I think a turbo B16 honda.

I got into my car started it as usual turned on the headlight column switch. All of my interior lights work. My parking lights work. Blinkers work. My headlights however; do not come on. Also, the high beam indicator light (blue) is on. Whether I click the lever on or off the light stays on as...

I have a 160mph Auto Meter mechanical speedometer sitting here brand new. Has anyone used one on an eclipse? If so, how?

I'd like to start by saying that if it werent so rediculously cold here everytime I need to work on a car I might not need so many heads to save time. But that being the case, I appreciate your reading and help.PROBLEM: 120 AMP fusible link (alternator choke) blownACTIONS TAKEN: -...

I'm looking to see if I have covered all the ground I need to before continuing my repair of this 95' 420a N/T. I purchased this car from an old tuner friend for $100 dollars as he's moved to Germany. After three days of diagnosis outside in 10degree temperatures I cured the cars first problem...

I didn't know where to post this so since i'm new, i'm here in the newbie forum. So anyway, a little background on me. I own two eclipses, one is in the shop right now having more than a few mods being done, the other I actually an old Talon I converted inside and out into an eclipse (as you can...

I was pretty pumped to be able to have patience enough to wait until I bought all the parts at once before I installed anything. I don't have anyone to share the excitement with so hopefully this general section is ok for me to post this in. I'll have the full pictorial attached to my profile...
