haha, I knew that...just didn't know which end was which on the controller

Do you know what the stock boost controller layout looks like?

See I wouldn't mind driving that far, the problem is, when I got there we'd have to chill for a while and let it cool down...you know how hot these girls get.

Still got your boost leak tester lying around? lol, thats really the part I need.

How could I test to see if the wastegate is bad? How did you know it was the wastegate?

I'd like to go, don't have a room though. But I do have a tent.

Anyone else plan on going, or is this going to be a two car and a tow truck caravan? lol.

I seem to have a big boost leak somewhere, and its pissing me off.

I've done a test multiple times but im pretty sure my tester isn't seating well on the turbo because I can't really pressurize the system. Also, I have a tank, not a compressor type deal, so I'm getting tired of having to fill it up all the time. Most of you don't know me although I used to post when I had a blue GSX.

If anyone has some free time and would like to help me, I'll drive to your place, it doesn't matter to me. I just really want to get this fixed before MOD so that my car is running nice and good.

Help me out and I'll buy you some beer . (we'll I'll pay for it, I'm only 19, lol)

O and background story on the problem: Can't boost over 5psi, and thats with vacuum line hooked right up to the wastegate. so its either a leak, or the flapper. Most likely a leak.

Thanks. AIM is TwistedDrum5 is anyone wants to talk.

90% chance that shes "sold"

I'll post pics of the new ride when/if I get her.(which hopefully I do)

If you're talking about my car, thank you.

Pics can be found here :Pics

Yea, she was babied her whole life. I'm the second owner.

Lol, I wouldn't mind having a DSM, but the gas kills me, and so do the insurance payments...although a GVR4 would be a sedan so it might not be as much, hmmm...nah I can't.

If I can't find any interesting trades, ill shoot a price on here.

There really isn't one right now. I'm just looking for trades really. If you made the right offer though...

What were your plans with my GSX (just wondering)?

What mods does it have? Miles?

I'm very interested in this, where are you located?

I have NG-drill tomorrow from 8-4ish, but I'll try to catch you on AIM some time.

Don't worry, no sign of CW.

It's fine, why do you ask?

Hows the car run, etc? Any problems? Manual? Are those SOHC or DOHC?

Pics?

What is it?

Honestly, not sure. Don't you have like 50 million cars anyway?

Thank you. PM sent to see who you are, lol.

Well, I've finally figured out that as a 16 year old, I can't really have a super fast car. To much money for insurance, repairs, and gas. I drive a lot more than I used to and I'm starting to see it in the gas im using. I'm actually doubling my driving for the week, making it difficult when gas prices go as high as 3.50 for 93 Octane(thank goodness it went back down)

Car:

1993 Eclipse GSX
~The bad~
-Two rust spots (both in the rear fender, one side is worse than the other but they both can be repaired)
-Exhaust leaks (super easy fix, but I just don't have the time or resources)
-Pwr antenna doesn't work (stuck up)
-Weathering strip on door comming off (another easy fix)
-ABS disabled. The hydraulic pump went out, and it cost to much to fix
-Clutch will need to be replaced if you plan on boosting any higher. I had it set at 15 psi, and I was in 2nd gear around 6000 and it slipped. So it was higher in the gear, but I freaked and set teh boost controller back to stock since it is my DD.
-AC doesn't work
-102000k miles.
~The Good~
-Boost and A/F gauge in A-pillar
-Datalogger on a Palm IIIe (I'd have to find)
-Custom O2 Dump (buddy welded it, it sounds nice, no leaks)
-2G Ported Exhaust Manifold (not installed)
-TurboXS boost controller (set at 10psi (I play it safe))
-Magnaflow 5in muffler(bought when I was in my ricer stage...yes it's just the muffler)
-HKS "hiflow" intake.
-HKS TT
-Just got timing belt/water pump done.

The back speakers are blown, but I'll throw in the 6x9's that I have in there now. the only thing is they don't fit exact, so I don't have my side panels on because they won't fit on with the 6x9's installed.

Car runs good, never had any problems with it. Newer pads/rotors.

I'm kinda just gauging interest. I still want a "semi-fast" vehicle, but I don't need a rocket like I had planned on building this one to be. I was interested in maybe a earlier Civic hatchback with a swap, or even stock with a few mods. I am taking otu the sound system that I have in my car, unless the car your trading has one in it. I have 2 kicker comp subs, (cheap amp), and a pioneer deck. If you have a good reliable car, let me know. I would like it to look pretty decent since I consider my car to be in good shape, besides the little rust spots.

More info on her:

I am the second owner, purchased her last year from a guy in Bloomington. He worked at Mitsubishi (still does I think) and had her since she had 2 miles on her. She has black leather, like top of the line everything, as in power everything, moon roof, etc. He babied her, and so have I. She was actually sent ot Japan to get the first recalled transfer cases. It was like their guinea pig car. So its got some history behind it. Um, a guy scratched my fron passenger fender over the weekend, but itll buff out (no really it will) its just a little streak of white.

Not sure If I missed anything, just ask.

I'm not that good ...(also named josh)

But really..which ones Josh?

Hmmm, well I've talked to some people who've have ACT2600 without much problem, but I'll remember things said here. I'm not saying your wrong, but everyone has different experiences.

Really though, how much do you think its going to cost, not including the clutch?

I would also be interested in the exhaust...but ill let zish make a decision first.

I could have a whole day to do it, I'm not sure if your thinking like weeks or what, school starts soon so I would only have weekends, and even then I belive next weekend i'm headin to NIU to hang with my girlfriend...but I'm not sure on the days. How much are we talking?

Also I've heard Fidanza flywheels are bad for daily driving, like the revs drop fast or something. The best deal I've found is this one http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/act_clu...l_combo/psck10/ seens like a really good deal, plus you get 10% off of that i believe...but I'm sure shipping would be around however much you save.

But how do you like the flywheel? Also where could I get it resurfaced? How long would it take you to do the clutch?

Well I have money now, and its time to buy and install a clutch for my car, but I'mnot to good with the installing part, so yea. If you know anyone who does it for cheap, or you'll do it, or whatever, just someone to install for cheaper than mitsu would charge me....let me know. I don't have a clutch either, but I'm goig with the ACT2600 and ACT flywheel, I've heard the best with those. Or I'll go with an ACT2600 and whatever flywheel i can get for cheapest...as long as its good. If you know of any deals, or anyone selling one let me know.

Thanks, and its good to be home,
-Josh

WS6.

I think they look nicer, and meener.

He bought a civic and swapped in the GSR if I'm not mistaken. He did it this year, he also built up the engine a lot, and is planning on supercharging it this summer, or so I assume. I never hear the end of it about how DSMs are slow, so I was hoping one of you could show him up. He says he's willing to put a grand down, and I told him it would have to be at a track so that it would be official.
