So I bought a 97’ GST and the previous owner took out the power steering. How should I go about the reinstalling? I have all the OEM power steering components from my 96’ GST . The rack is still currently in the 97 but it’s been awhile since it’s had lines connected and power steering fluid...
What would you guys recommend? a Evo 3 big 16g or a modified 16g with a 20g compressor wheel upgrade. I ran a Evo 3 16g before and I enjoyed the spool time and power I got out of it. I got a different eclipse soth a hybrid 16g with a 20g compressor wheel. I know the 20g is more laggy but I want...
What went wrong? Go easy on me. Constructive feed back welcomed. I’m still very new.To give context my engine is stock. Stock bottom end, stock head. I heard from a lot that these stock blocks can handle 300hp easy and can be maintained safely. I did an Evo 3 big 16g with ALL supporting mods...
Need advice from your exhaust tech guys. So I recently straight piped my 2G GST. It’s has an MHI Evo 3 Big 16G, Fp race manifold, stm recirculated o2 housing, 3” downpipe, 3” straight pipe exhaust. This setup has more pros than cons and i absolute love the turbo whistle the car produces at idle...
Yes the firing order is correct. Already addressed this. Car cranks up perfectly with stock ECU. Switch over to black box and the fuel pump doesn’t even turn on. Doesn’t even attempt to crank. Bad ECU?
Does anyone know if using a 3inch v band adapter will work to attach a 3 inch a tomei titanium muffler to SS piping? If not what ideas do y’all have to accomplish this.
Go easy on me. For starters I’m a new school guy. I know a lot of old school guys aren’t fond of doing mods for cool sounds only but sound plays a huge part in my enjoyment in a vehicle. I know this isn’t a WRX forum but I am curious about this topic With that being said why are MHI turbos so...
Haven’t heard of this stuff on here and don’t know of anyone using it on their 4g63T. I heard this stuff is legit and has worked well for a ton of people. Got this stuff on order. Gonna try it out and let you guys know how it goes! I have an oil consumption issue so I’m hoping I get some...
This intercooler bolts to the crash beam. Going through old forums of people installing this intercooler I’ve noticed that they have it bolted up with the bolt brackets facing forward and not facing aft like mine is with the stencil. If I install it with the stencil facing forward, the...
A little over a month ago I was having an overheating issue in which the car was dumping boiling coolant into the overflow after long freeway drives and the car would just overheat on the highway after an hour of driving in 80+ degree weather. I’ve never had this issue in the city no matter how...
Lately my car has been pushing coolant. Overflow reservoir will boil up and get close to the cap. After a drive today the reservoir was boiling over and when I let it cool down, it’s now at low on the reservoir when I filled it before the drive. Is it normal for the thermostat housing to not...
I received all these codes in the last week. In the last two weeks I’ve installed an FP Manifold, 3” Catless downpipe, 3” exhaust. I also cleaned the throttle body, MAF sensor, installed a new PCV and added a fuel system/injector cleaner. What may be the cause of these codes popping up? The car...
Need some advice. When I installed my fp manifold to my t25 turbo I forgot to put this ring back in on the turbine housing I’ve been driving the car for days with no issues. Is this ring a necessity?
I have questions about my stock fans. I wanna make sure I don’t have electrical issues with the fans.Is it normal for my radiator fan to not come on during initial startup and idle?Is it normal for my AC fan to stay on even after turning the AC off?Should the AC fan only come on when the...
So my car was stalling at stops and I started by cleaning my maf and my throttle body. Both seemed pretty clean and I didn’t see much on either the throttle or maf. After I put the throttle body back together I adjusted the biss screw. I’m just curious do you guys think the cleaning did the...
Im currently looking to order an IAC for my 96 gst as a start to solving my stalling issue when rolling to a stop. Does it matter if the IAC is OEM or not? Because I refuse to pay 500 dollars on STM or MAPerformance for an OEM when carparts.com and rock auto are selling aftermarket’s for 30-60...
So my car has been in the body shop for 3 weeks being painted. The car was undriven. The only electrical components that was swapped was installed new eagle eye headlights. Now all of a sudden my A/C fan is on when the A/C is off and the car won’t idle at stops, it just dies in neutral at red...
I’m new to this stuff and I’m in the market for a new manifold. My current cheap runners don't properly connect to the turbine housing and causes heat to leak out and melt my fans.I want to buy a forced performance manifold for my GST. I don’t know if I should do ported or not.Is getting the...
This is the manifold I run. Doesn’t seem like the blankets or shields for the stock manifold and fp manifolds will fit this one. What can I do to manage the heat from this manifold? Heat wrap clearing isn’t working because the manifold has melted my A/C fan, unless I have an exhaust leak I don’t...
Need some advice. Soon I will be getting a 3 inch downpipe and a 3 inch exhaust installed on my gst. I will be running a single resonator and a muffler. No cats. I also have an o2 housing with a dump laying around that I’m thinking of getting put on aswell. Is it worth? Does it sound good or is...
Is 3k a fair deal for a single stage paint job(viper red), bodywork (fixing multiple dents), welding holes in the hatch of the vehicle? 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST? 3k was my quote from body shop owner that seems very honest and has 5 a star rating with 50+ reviews. Family owned
I’m in the process of getting my 2g GST re painted soon and I’m looking for the perfect red. I was set on viper red but now I’m realizing it is too bright for my liking and want something darker. I found this 2g on TikTok but the owner was never tagged and I don’t know what red this is. Can...
I bought this GST 4 months ago. The low beams and fog lights were working when I bought it. Now I’m noticing they don’t come on anymore. Only high beams work. Only things I’ve tinkered with is adding LEDs to the taillights but ended up taking them off because of hyper flash and I have yet to...
I have this aftermarket bumper currently on my 2g. I’m going to run the badgeless look but I’m not fond of the triangle. What would you guys recommend to fill it in or alter it? Only thing I can think of currently is body filler. Let me know what you guys think.
A person by the name of “vcat” on this site is in partnership with a scammer and I wanted to make sure I let y’all know. These guys are not smart. I was just being dumb and desperate for clear taillights. The person who scammed me goes by the name “Robert Thrower”([email protected]). He claims...
Bought a 96’ GST MT with 200k miles for 5.5k. Great condition overall. Clean Title. Did a full inspection. Rear wheel hubs are rusted but thats an easy fix. Light modification and car seems to be well taken care of. Lots of parts were replaced with new ones before being sold such as the water...
