1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST? What specific Boost Cut Controller or Fuel Cut Defencer will work with a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST? HKS Blowoff Valve RC 550 Fuel Injectors Aftermarket Fuel Pump

thebax2006 replied: "Wait to hear from Eldo."

Exquis8te07 replied: "APEXI Boost controller"

hondab16tuner replied: "I see no mention of a fuel controller. With a upgraded fuel pump and larger injectors, all you are doing is dumping more fuel than necessary in your combustion chamber. I bet it runs REALLY rich at idle and under normal conditions."

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I have parts on and want more.? I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. It has a FTO Engine with MIVEC heads, Stage 2 ACT Clutch, HKS EXhaust, OBX Headers,310CC Venom Fuel Injectors,Injen Short Ram Cold AIR, Short throw shift kit, and a air freshner hanging off my rear view mirror. What else can I do to my car besides forced Induction and nitrous. I want all motor. Any Ideas???

kpxturbo915 replied: "Cams, head work, port & polish, new pistons with higher compression, slimmer head gasket, better headers, knife edge crank, oversized valves, lots of things!"

Evolution replied: "Bigger downpipe and new HKS pipes from the engine to the exhaust, new turbo like Garrett GT30R, HKS EVC boost controller to control your boost and prevent overboost, new cams, gauges etc. Also, a good car needs good handling, so tein type flex will work perfect on your car as well as new brembo brake kits, front/back, TOYO tyres R888. And of course, for your engine management choose HKS F-CON V-Pro II."

babyboy replied: "get higher compresion pistons header and cams it will scream but really i think the air freshner from the rear veiw mirror is all you need i think that would have to make it fast right ilmao really"

jmb162000 replied: "It will only be worth it if the previous owner really babied it. The engines are problematic. Try looking at older toyota supra's with or without the turbo. The supra is a far superior car, is hella fun and reliable. But if you do get that mitsu, watch the trans, and listen for strange engine noises. Go to any auto parts store like AutoZone and have them do a free diagnosis so you can see if there is any hidden surprises that may cost you dearly in the future. Everyone and their granny has an eclipse lol, so why not go out and grab a supra that will spank em silly?"

They are doing beyond GREAT!! Why?? He love's MITSUBISI'S!! They made Sis and him a landfall of money!! Yes, I'll admit, I'm a car guy too. That laundry list of Options is impressive!! You'll be worse OFF than Tom Hanks, in "The MONEY PIT!!" This is a rolling financial disaster, just waiting to happen. Don't let the 'little head,' do the thinking for the big head. Old School knows. NO DISRESPECT!! There's better choices out there!!!"

[D&G. ..LAUreenn] replied: "mmm ii wuldnt buy a used car, but if ya hav 2 den it sounds pretty gd ii think!!!!!"

vtecpakiness replied: "the person who listed it is a ediet, they didnt even list how much mileage is on the car.. it has to be pretty high for the car being that cheap, the only thing i would worry about is the turbo, its prob in not too good shape after all that abuse and high mileage."

spydersinh replied: "Generally I would consider this as a good deal. With all of those aftermarket parts would definitely make it well worth it, but not knowing how much mileage or abuse it was put under, I'd be concerned. If that's what you really want, then go for it."

Eddie replied: "With all the listed mods, and how much that car's listed for, I would reconsider buying it. It's just too much money involved when something breaks. If something does, OEM parts won't do it because of the million aftermarket parts that was put in it. Unless you have plenty of money to burn in repairs, DON'T. And besides, how much miles was put in this car???......exactly! This car probably has seen too much racing circuits and strips and needed to be retired too!!! Think about it."

tairum03 replied: "well the gsx blue books for way more than that about 7 or 8 grand and the t25 turbo he has on it runs about 1800 dollars alone so to me its a deal if it really has all that stuff he claims it should be very fast and thats list of parts is about 6 thousand dollars allone just estimating. but ask ourself why would he sell it so cheap?"

How much would it cost to purchase all of these parts brand new? How much would it cost to have all these parts professionally installed in a 1996 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx? Would this make about 500+ HP? If not what else would i need to make 500+hp?

Courtney replied: "It would cost wayyy more than the car is even worth. If you're going to spend that much money, then you should just buy a better car."

bassguitarist90 replied: "i would just guess by looking at the parts (not brands) around 4-5k to buy and have installed. That turbo wont get you 500hp though, youll need like a garrett 60-1, or gt35, or holset hx35 to see that much power"

hondab16tuner replied: "The parts list UNINSTALLED will be in the $7000 range. Add another $2,000 for install and necessary tuning/unknowns. After all is said and done you can still only push 14psi on this motor due to no internal work on the block itself. You would be in the 300-320 whp range. Now add another $3,000-$5,000 for a complete rebuild and a larger turbo like a GT35R or GT40R and you can make the 500 whp mark."

formula93_350 replied: "Take it from me, I've had a 12 second eclipse (no idea how much horsepower, i'd guess in the high 300s), and 500 isn't just difficult to reach, it's kind of pointless. You're talking about a FWD eclipse. AWD, different story, but lets work with what you've got. I recommend the following set up, and you'll have one hell of a street machine that prices at just above 1000, I would know, this is the set up I used on my AWD 1990 to hit mid 12s which is definitely enough for a street car. MODS: Evo III (big) 16g turbo--600 @ slowbowracing.com Full 3inch turbo back exhaust-- between 300-500 Boost controller- between 80-400 (depends if you go manual or electronic, it really doesn't matter). Set the boost controller to 15, don't go any higher for the set up im listing. Any intake will work (get beaded pipes so you can avoid pipe blow out under full boost) --300 JDMsport FMIC--100-250 depending where you look Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, DO NOT GO ACT, you will ruin it!--450 @ slowboy racing Remove AC/PS belt--free! (frees up some HP) Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump--you can find one used for about 70 Screamer Tube (get this when you do the exhaust, it will eliminate boost creep) That set up will put you in the low 13s, high twelves. My set up included a Stage 4 slowboy racing head which was port and polished, came with Ferra Valves, Brian Crower Retainers and Valve Springs. Also, I removed my balance shafts which helps. With all this, you'll want to look into Apexi's SAFC II unit. It's fairly easy to tune with and will help eliminate annoying fuel cut you'll experience at high RPMS with the 16g. I'd also throw a pair of NITTO 555s on there to grip with, because with that set up, you won't be gripping until 3rd. I promise."

How much should i offer on a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX? there is a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX for sale near my area and they're asking $8500 it has 42,000 original miles, built 6 bolt with less then 6000 miles on it with 272/272 hks cams, 720 inj., 255 walboro pump, full 3" Buschur exhaust, Fully adj. coilovers and springs and Front mount. A pillar three gauge pod with Boost and vac, air/fuel, and Egt (not hooked up), Short throw, and front and back strut bars and im thinking of getting it if its still available when i can get the money for it and on kelly blue book says its worth bout $5,100 if you could help me and give me a good idea for how much to pay for it thanks

tamalekingpin replied: "For what they are asking that sounds like a steal. KBB bases the prices on stock figures, and whats in the car is deff. not stock. You could try 8000 but that is the lowest I can imagine them going seeing as how modded the car is."

1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX boost creep and fuel cut? I have a small 16g turbo on my 1990 Eclipse GSX 5 Speed. It has a full turbo back exhaust and when I floor it, it seems to cut power at about 5500rpm. I assume this is fuel cut possibly from boost creep. Anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it? I posted this question before but I guess I should've mentioned what else is done to the car in case it's something else. Car has: --Removed balance shaft(s)? (not done by me) --Small 16g Turbo (MHI) --HKS MLS head gasket and ARP head studs --All emission devices removed and tuned out --Full 3in turbo back exhaust --ACT 2100 clutch --Walbro 255LPH fuel pump --Ported head --Ported intake manifold --Tuned, but not sure what was done.(previous owner) I'm still pretty sure its boost creep causing the fuel cut, I can watch it on my boost gauge.

Im.about.a.dollar!!fuck.50.cent replied: "i had a 92 gsx with almost the same mods and had the same problem.. i ran an hks vpc and it took care of the problem.. it took a good 5 hours of tuning ( no plessure of dyno, just street tuning) another way which is probly the most efficient is to have your ecu reprogrammed ... the tune that the previous owner got obviously didnt take care of it.. there used to be a guy out here in so cal that would swap out your ecu with a programmed one for a small charge im not sure if hes still around... check old dsm forums"

mitsubishi eclipse GST? I am about to buy a 1997 gst with 120k on it, it is super clean and in awesome shape, with a few modifications, 14b turbo, 3in downpipe, exhaust and turbo intake manifold, hks blow off valve, B&m short throw shifter, and it has a 7 bolt motor in it, it hasnt gotten crankwalk so far, and runs really good and strong. what would the ups and downs of this be? do you think it would get crankwalk in the future? soon? does it sound like a good purchase? i dont want to get it and have it get crankwalk soon. lemme know of any suggestions and anything else. thanks yall

gotrnet replied: "crankwalk is over blown. it does happen but not nearly as often as you believe it does. i am not going to say it won't or that it will. if the car has 120 on it then it prob nearing the end of its usable life unless you plan to rebuild it in the future (ie pistons rods bearings and bore job etc) good luck."

modelplus2000 replied: "As long as the engine has been overhauled recently, you should be ok. I bought a 98 GST, with 80k miles that was supposed to have been rebuilt, with less than 500 miles on engine. Well two weeks later the balance shafts locked up, witch broke the timing belt, screwed up the oil pump, messed up the head and valves. My husband and I totally rebuilt it (again, the right way), and we eliminated the balance shafts. All in all we have a faster car than we bought, because we ended up getting a bigger turbo, in all that mess we did quite a few upgrades. Never had a problem since,and we've had it for 3 years now."

Jase replied: "The longest my eclipse ran was 165,000 then crankwall went out and a 14b turbo is smalll u should get piping front mounted intercooler n get a 16g u can pull more hp and ill b faster i say wait till it goes out then get tje engine rebuilt by then ull have the money saved"

What will you need to turbocharge a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse gsx?? well the choicces are to buy a Garrett GT Ball Bearing Turbo that will increase the hp by 300, for 800 just the turbo. or buy a kit, either a GReddy Turbo Kit or a HKS Sport Turbo Kit. will the kit come witth everything i need? or what else should i buy. i have $6000 saved up and will i have enough? im also gonna get an Apexi N1 Exhaust System. do i need new headers or down pipes? so i bassically want to know if i buy the turbo bye itself to replace my turbo engine will i need anything else for the big horsepower gain? or should i buy the kit if it comes with everything i need

Yeah We Got That replied: "I'd get the entire kit, with the engine being 10+yrs old, you will need to replace everything, turbo, pipes, intercooler etc... You also need to remember about tuning which has to be done at a shop and will run ya 500-1000 dollars too. If you just get the tubro you will prolly run into problems with the existing turbo parts."

DialM4Speed replied: "Or you could try this... And don't ask the same question more than once!"
