TrboChicsRock's 1998 Eclipse GSX- Two New Pics Post #226

[TrboChicsRock]

I'm completely re-doing my Journal because a lot has changed recently.

Let me start from the beginning. The first car I ever owned was a 1991 Nissan NX 2000. I hated that car. I tried so hard at blowing that thing up as an excuse for getting rid of it. It would constantly break but never stopped running.

It's sad, but true, a 2G Eclipse as always been my "dream car" for as long as I can remember. Of course, this was when I was around 14 years old and 2G's were selling brand new. My friends always commented on how "attainable" my dream was, since everyone else I knew dreamed about cars that were $100k+.

When I was 19, I picked up a 1998 Eclipse GST:

I loved this car. Once it reached the 300whp mark, I realized how much I wanted something AWD.

Two and a half years later I sold the GST and purchased a 1995 Eclipse GSX:

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n25/hergsx/GSX/8.jpg

After a lot of extensive work, I got it running great. I dynoed 402 awhp (http://static.flickr.com/114/281972440_9e82341aeb_o.jpg) on 23 pounds of boost and 93 octane. It went 11.51 @ 119.6 (http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/showthread.php?p=353195#post353195), also on pump gas.

This summer will be two years since I bought that car. It was fun while it lasted, but I just couldn't take all of it's imperfections. I needed another 2G in mint condition. So when I found a white shell in great condition, I had to have it.

Just some teaser pictures:

Yeah, I was pretty mad when the Evo came out because I had already bought my GST at that point. I had finally owned my "dream car" and then something else I wanted just as bad had to come out! I love Evo's, but I don't think I could ever sell my GSX. I would definitely love to have both though. :mrgreen:

[subwrxkid]

was that the parking garage in Trenton? God your car makes me want an eclipse again!

[TrboChicsRock]

was that the parking garage in Trenton? God your car makes me want an eclipse again!

Nope, parking garage in Brick.

You should buy one. They're great :mrgreen:

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Very nice car....killer mods too. It'll definately make an Evo or two jealous

[Matt2.8NJ]

Cool car. I'm impressed.

[TrboChicsRock]

Thanks guys!

ummm? what's sitting out by your GSX right now? Could it be a Graphite Grey 2006 Evo IX? Oh yea...I forgot, you don't drive it more than your b/f. LOL

[TrboChicsRock]

Yeah, I admit it. I'm extremely fickle.

It's getting there, but it'll probably be two months before Steve and I get it all back together!

[KawBoy]

Whats wrong with the old GSX? (imperfections you mentioned)

[turbo4g63]

i remember your gst, i saw it at one of the phillydsm meets a couple years ago at xotic motorsports, back then my car was stock, and well, i wanted yours, but now you've got those gsx's, and it makes me want AWD soooo bad


i love your cars...sooo sweet

[sisforsurfing]

You have a lift in your garage? Jealous!! I can only hope my garage looks like that in a few years... only with Subarus. (thus slower and less attractive.)

2G's are one of my favorite cars. Your black one was a crazy street car, I'm looking forward to see what comes next.

[freebmx444]

where are the parts off the red gsx being parted to?

[Dave]

Im loving that garage

[TrboChicsRock]

Whats wrong with the old GSX? (imperfections you mentioned)

The clearcoat on the roof started fading. I went around to bodyshops getting quotes on a whole repaint, but it just wasn't worth spending that much money on a paint job I would always hate. Repaints never look as good as they do from the factory.

Do what I did. Sell your car and buy a GSX! It's soooo worth it :)

[freebmx444]

part out? (red gsx)

[KawBoy]

Yea Im looking into getting another DSM.. this time 97-99 GSX

Now to find a good one! :)

[TrboChicsRock]

2G's are one of my favorite cars. Your black one was a crazy street car, I'm looking forward to see what comes next.

My Dad is a mechanic so when he built the garage he put in a thick floor and had the roof of the house completely raised for a lift. He stopped working on cars completely and never put the lift in. But when I started working on my car there, he had one put in so it would be "easier for me".

My black one was a lot of fun. I'm extremely excited about the new one.

[TrboChicsRock]

where are the parts off the red gsx being parted to?

The white shell didn't come with a drivetrain, motor, and a lot of other parts. I'm using the motor and drivetrain out of the red 2g to put my black car back together.

Then my built motor/tranny and all my performance parts are going in the white car.

Yea Im looking into getting another DSM.. this time 97-99 GSX

Now to find a good one! :)

Good luck finding one. I know how hard it is to find one taken care of these days.

[freebmx444]

thers a red 2gb gsx for sale up the street from me, i think the price is alittle high (12000) for 120k on the body and 80k on the 6bolt

[TrboChicsRock]

My new white Eclipse only has about 70k miles on the body. Another plus to it.

[freebmx444]

sounds like a good buy

[Broken5hift]

my girl loves those generation eclipse as well, as do I. neither of us have ever owned one but i wouldnt mind it.

very nice and clean cars. + rep

[Honest_Bob]

Nice cars!

[97TurboDSM]

damnit i need another eclipse. i cant wait to see your new one finished (someone come blow up my Z or something)

[TrboChicsRock]

Thanks everyone :)

damnit i need another eclipse. i cant wait to see your new one finished (someone come blow up my Z or something)

Why did you get rid of yours? You should have kept it!

[97TurboDSM]

believe me, i wish i would have. i had a spyder, and it started to get tiny holes in it so i would have needed a new top and it was runnin weird and since im in school and not working i didnt feel like getting a job to fix these things but boy do i regret it now. i miss that car every day.

Thanks for your advice with the pics :)

It's getting there! It'll be worth the wait :mrgreen:

[vwcorradokid]

That front mount looks tiny ha.

I think it's supposed to be a side mount, not a front mount.

[TrboChicsRock]

The only thing the car has right now is a front mount :lol:

[Barry'z (NJ)]

Damn, that's one clean engine bay!

[TrboChicsRock]

Damn, that's one clean engine bay!

Keep your fingers crossed it stays that way :mrgreen:

[Barry'z (NJ)]

:wink: you got it!

[Chris(NJ)]

Love the garage... lucky!! Nice work on the engine bay too!! Hopefully the engine that goes in there is equally as clean :)

[Red94Celica]

I think it's supposed to be a side mount, not a front mount.

I think he was being sarcastic lol


Hurry up and get everything done [i know, easier said then done right]

[redline]

Congrats and lets see it soon!

[TrboChicsRock]

Love the garage... lucky!! Nice work on the engine bay too!! Hopefully the engine that goes in there is equally as clean :)

Thanks. The lift makes everything sooo much easier.

The Engine is just as clean (if not cleaner). A machine shop cleaned the head (looks brand new now) and the block was boiled and painted.

I think he was being sarcastic lol


Hurry up and get everything done [i know, easier said then done right]

I think they were both being sarcastic :lol:


Definitely easier said than done!

[TrboChicsRock]

Congrats and lets see it soon!

Thanks :) The motor is being put together tomorrow. I'll make sure I take lots of pictures!

Once everything is in the car I'll be able to figure out where I can move everything.

[TrboChicsRock]

They came on the black car when I bought it. I rarely ever see them on cars.

[Honduh]

Damn DSM's are sexy when running/being built.

[the mike]

Mmmm, clean parts. I think I'll tear down one of the motors in the garage just for kicks now.

280 is a pretty meaty cam.

[CarbonIS]

too awesome for me....

[TROLL]

thats one stout block... surprised i dont hear about any cooling issues with them... or are there issues?

[TrboChicsRock]

There are no real cooling issues as long as you keep ample airflow to the radiator. A lot of times people install huge frontmounts that block flow to the radiator and they can overheat.

The only other colling issue is pushing coolant at high boost, that's why I o-ringed the head.

[TrboChicsRock]

Motor is in!!!! It's so clean. I <3 it. Just waiting on the exhaust manifold, o2 housing, and turbo hotside to get ceramic coated and waiting on a couple other parts to come in the mail and it'll be all together :)

How did I know someone would point out the dirty cas when I was editing the pictures :lol:

Yeah, I sold the black car probably over a month ago now. The guy bought it two days after I put it up online.

[lagos]

[turbo4g63]

[Intercooled T]

bump for an awesome thread. by your parts list it looks like you took all precautions to keep this motor well and alive. just curious what you think, if any, the weakpoint on this car might be because it looks pretty stout

[lancerxoz]

DSM's are like sex.. once is never good enough. I wish you and my little friend stephanie the BEST of luck with your two DSM's ;)

not hatin' at all though, i'm a fan of the 2g, but it just seems like so
much work.. lol but they are both sexaayyy :)

[CarbonIS]

I think I can take you... :-p

[vwcorradokid]

I think I can take you... :-p

LOL. I'm sure your car is quick, but come on...she's rockin' the same fuel system as my Supra, I'm sure it's gonna be really quick.

Can't wait to see it Jess. We'll have to get together for some cruises and pictures.

P.S. - before I get flamed for calling you out on this, I know you're only kidding.

[TrboChicsRock]

Alright jess....(my name is bill by the way so i don't feel wierd using your first name) you have seriously got to get that car done and out to a meet that i'll be at this way i'm not the only dsm out on the lot...today at the bbq meet, i was the ONLY dsm there almost all day. Give me some company please!!!

Ok Bill. I will come out to some meets when my car is back together. Don't you worry, you won't be alone!

I meant July...

Hmm... depending on the date I may be able to do it. Let me know when you have more information.

[TrboChicsRock]

Looking good. I like the catch can.

Thanks. I love this catch can. They're not easy to find either.


bump for an awesome thread. by your parts list it looks like you took all precautions to keep this motor well and alive. just curious what you think, if any, the weakpoint on this car might be because it looks pretty stout

Thank you very much! The motor/turbo/fuel setup is all pretty much brand new and I'm not worried about any of that. It's more so my drivetrain I'm worried about. Mainly the rear and the rear axles since they're still stock.

[TrboChicsRock]

DSM's are like sex.. once is never good enough. I wish you and my little friend stephanie the BEST of luck with your two DSM's ;)

not hatin' at all though, i'm a fan of the 2g, but it just seems like so
much work.. lol but they are both sexaayyy :)

It's only as much work as you make it be. I could've left the stock motor and 50 trim in there, but what fun would that be? :)

I think I can take you... :-p

How much of a head start are you getting? 25 car lengths? 35? :-p

[TrboChicsRock]

Sounds good to me. Now get your car together!

[Intercooled T]

I'm assuming your car is still a true awd car, so what is the power ratio to all of the wheels? 60% rear 40% front? Just curious if stuff like that gets adjusted when you make some serious power

[TrboChicsRock]

I'm assuming your car is still a true awd car, so what is the power ratio to all of the wheels? 60% rear 40% front? Just curious if stuff like that gets adjusted when you make some serious power

It's actually a 3 wheel drive. It has a rear LSD, but the front is an open diff. A front LSD is definitely on my list of things I want, but they're pretty expensive and I don't have the money for it after all of this. I'm pretty sure the ratio is 50/50 on these cars. That's what I've heard at least.

[Intercooled T]

I'll take 35. And you only get to use 2 injectors:mrgreen:. Besides, just two of yours are pushing more than my entire fuel system. In all seriousness that car is badass. Good luck with the drivetrain:lol:

Thank you. 2 injectors? My motor would definitely not like that :lol:

[vwcorradokid]

Jess, if you're offering lengths, I'll take 15 lengths. Simply because I'll still be spinning at the end of the 1320.

It's good to see you take the Supra jokes in stride :lol:

[dragonfly2k3]

You could always run the two you have left in the TB. maybe if they were 1600s you could get a half decent running car. Hop on the shep wagon and run 10, and a ford rear end.

[turbo4g63]

you should throw the vid that you have on youtube on here...that would go well for the journal....possibly show/compare the old gsx to the new gsx (when you get vid of the new one)

[foss]

Nice work, throw it on a dyno for us!

[TrboChicsRock]

And it runs!!!!!!!! Still getting some kinks worked out, but at least it's drivable :)

Turbo Setup:

FP3065
FP's new Race Exh Manifold
FP SS o2 Housing
Tial 44mm Wastegate

I had the Exhaust manifold, o2 housing, turbo hotside and dumptube all ceramic coated.

Looks good Jess, I'll prolly be down in Brick within a week or so at the shop I take my car to. I want a ride lol.

Edit - In your car that is.

[turbo4g63]

looks awesome....what are you using for engine management....aem or did you use a eprom w/ dsm link? just curious

[180sxDrifter]

lookin good, giving me bad ideas about upgradin my turbo setup...

[S4toSTI]

Forget a ride i wanna drive it. Anyway sweeeeeeeet it running. After you run a ten how much can i buy it for?

[TrboChicsRock]

I'm going to charge everyone for a ride in this car. That way when it breaks at the track I have the funding to fix it!! I like that idea.

Looks good Jess, I'll prolly be down in Brick within a week or so at the shop I take my car to. I want a ride lol.

Haha... I knew what you meant! Where do you bring your car to?

It's yours for the low, low cost of $15k!

[MissDSM]

Is it drivable as in... ready to drive to a meet? or just to drive around your house and tune and mess around with? Because if you can drive it to a meet, you should deffffinietly look into taking off work thursday and bringing that thing to Freshworks lol. Cause then, I can buy your suspension, and all the boys that are in love with you can see you and the dsm, and that way everyone will be happy :)

[TrboChicsRock]

4G63 @ 9000RPM = Awesome

Yeah, I'm sure the people at the canoe place agreed too :lol:

Not that drivable yet, but it's getting there! It's not even registered. I'm going this week to do it.

[05GT]

Haha... I knew what you meant! Where do you bring your car to?



I take it to Wicked Motorsports right off of Industrial Pkwy, which is right of of Rt.70. You prolly know the area right?

I'm glad you knew what I meant....pheww lol.

[SexyDSM95]

Thats one hell of a block.

Now Sandra has to get her act and dsm together. :mrgreen:**** you I am lazy...

And your car is sick Jess can't wait to see it tear up the track.

[SuperHatch]

Yeah, I'm sure the people at the canoe place agreed too :lol:


Yeah, without a doubt.

[olmytsi]

Looking good Jess, can't wait to see it at atco. Glad you kept the old wheels too, i like those. You putting a cf hood on her?

[TrboChicsRock]

Looking good Jess, can't wait to see it at atco. Glad you kept the old wheels too, i like those. You putting a cf hood on her?

Yeah, I have the carbon fiber hood off of the black car. It's being painted white though. I don't like carbon fiber hoods on all white cars, especially since I want bronze wheels.

[zerioustt]

car looks awesome jess..i like the white.

[awd4g63]

NICE WORK!! Do you actually work on your own car too?

[SuperHatch]

NICE WORK!! Do you actually work on your own car too?

Yes, she does... I help her out with a lot but she knows her way around a wrench.

[CarbonIS]

hoods are over rated! Get yourself a clear hood already would ya? geez...

[TrboChicsRock]

Yes, she does... I help her out with a lot but she knows her way around a wrench.

Yes, but I definitely still would be driving a black car that barely runs and has a faded roof if it weren't for your help :wink:

[TrboChicsRock]

hoods are over rated! Get yourself a clear hood already would ya? geez...

If I put a clear plastic hood on my car it would probably melt :lol:

[EvlEgl]

hoods are over rated! Get yourself a clear hood already would ya? geez...

Jess Knows all to well about needing a Hood on her car :mrgreen:

**** she doesnt even need brakes half the time either!!! :wink:

Car looks AMAZING jess, I'll have to come out to a meet when you get this thing ready and driveable, Or the track...I'm dying to see it.

Hey... no hood jokes! :mad: :-p

Brakes are definitely over rated :lol: (and that previous owner error so you can't pick on me for that!!)


Thanks Scott. I'll definitely let you know when I'm bringing it. I can't wait.

[EvlEgl]

Lol, you know I had to...CarbonIS just set me up way to easily for that one...And the brakes story is just to funny. But Seriously I want to find a 1g shell and build it up as nice as you, I regret getting rid of my talon so bad now...Oh well **** happens for a reason.

Whats your goal Mid to low 10's??

[TrboChicsRock]

Lol, you know I had to...CarbonIS just set me up way to easily for that one...And the brakes story is just to funny. But Seriously I want to find a 1g shell and build it up as nice as you, I regret getting rid of my talon so bad now...Oh well **** happens for a reason.

Whats your goal Mid to low 10's??

Yeah yeah, I understand! Speaking of funny stories of things flying off my car. Stephen took it to 9k RPM's and the water pump belt flew off of it. It was a good thing my Dad was following behind us because he saw it and pulled over to pick it up :lol:

You should definitely get another 1G and build it up nicely. There needs to be more DSMers that actually take care of their cars! :lol:

Mid 10's would be great. We'll see at Atco in a couple of weeks :cool:

PS I need a roll bar!

[SuperHatch]

Yes, but I definitely still would be driving a black car that barely runs and has a faded roof if it weren't for your help :wink:

:thumbup:

[vwcorradokid]

There needs to be more DSMers that actually take care of their cars! :lol:

...and that's why your car stayed together more than most other DSMs.

[dragonfly2k3]

^i think you two are correct. Its not DSMs that are unreliable, its their owners. My dsm was plenty reliable

[subwrxkid]

That's sick! So wait, you painted the car or bought a new one?

[S4toSTI]

That's sick! So wait, you painted the car or bought a new one?

Bought a new one.

[06evors]

I can't believe I never saw this journal untill now. Very nicely done and well put together DSM. It's gonna be a beast. Props to you.

[subwrxkid]

Bought a new one.

It's sooooo clean!

[S4toSTI]

It's sooooo clean!
Yeah jess is like the dsm queen she can find anything.

[TrboChicsRock]

That's sick! So wait, you painted the car or bought a new one?

I originally was going to paint the old GSX graphite grey, but since that car was such a mess, I decided not too. I found this car and went out to Pittsburg to pick it up :)

[TrboChicsRock]

I can't believe I never saw this journal untill now. Very nicely done and well put together DSM. It's gonna be a beast. Props to you.

Thank you very much :mrgreen:

[TrboChicsRock]

Yeah jess is like the dsm queen she can find anything.

Yeah, pretty much :lol:

[CarbonIS]

so basically barry is to jess what marc is to me, answering questions that
people ask jess before jess gets a chance to answer lol

[Gregory]

:iagree: I've owned two DSM's and never had a serious problem. Both were DD's.

1. I was told I would have it tomorrow. Key word: told. Keep your fingers crossed I actually get it. And when I do... we have to go take pictures in the city :)

2. No :lol: Ok, maybe I will a little.

3. Again, no. It's supposed to rain and I have no hood!

[Gregory]

I'm so jelous of your DSM.

F-that, break it in hard. I think I took my car to the dyno to break it in, I might have put 0.5miles on it before hand.

[TrboChicsRock]

You should come to seaside tonight just so I can have a ride!

[TrboChicsRock]

About godamn time Jess!!

I'm supposed to be getting my hood back today (keep your fingers crossed). Stephen and I are going to do some finishing touches to it and probably some street tuning. Are you going to be in the area late?

[EvlEgl]

Yep...I'm not even leaving till like 9....Which Means you should let me see it

You could just be a baller and drive around without one

[TrboChicsRock]

Well, call me when you're in the area and then maybe you can see it!

I wouldn't feel so baller when a cop pulls me over and starts asking me about all this fancy shiny stuff in my engine bay that doesn't look legal :lol:

[EvlEgl]

jesus....9k rpms, thats insane.i have only had my car to 9k once...trust me, i didn't do it on purpose. I am assuming you'll be taking it to get dyno tuned soon.

Here is my Exact guess for hp. 542whp 487wtq

[MissDSM]

Jess are you goin to freshworks this week or are you waiting til next week?

[SuperHatch]

She trapped 126MPH yesterday at the track... 98 miles on the motor. There's more left in it, but the boost controller wouldn't go over 28lbs...

[olmytsi]

What's broken? the car or just the boost controller? ***praying it's just the boost controller***

[turbo4g63]

what did you run? i saw the other guy said you trapped at 126....that should put you somewhere in the 10's right? poss. low 11 if you were going easy on it off the launch

[vwcorradokid]

what did you run? i saw the other guy said you trapped at 126....that should put you somewhere in the 10's right? poss. low 11 if you were going easy on it off the launch

LOL "the other guy" is her b/f. just to give you a heads up.

Speaking of her b/f...Steve, did you get rid of the Evo?

[SuperHatch]

11.2 @ 126 w/ a 1.79 60' and semi-lazy shifting. Jess has 60-footed as good as a 1.61 on those same tires, it's just a matter of getting everything else dialed in. We did just finish building the car last week....

I think she did extremely well for a shakedown day.

Just the boost controller broke Tim, not the car... And yes, I no longer have an Evo.

thats not bad at all....once she gets everything broken in/tuned/dialed in the way it should be she's got an easy mid 10 second car.

[SuperHatch]

thats not bad at all....once she gets everything broken in/tuned/dialed in the way it should be she's got an easy mid 10 second car.

Agreed, the motor will take 35psi, the turbo should be able to supply close to that, and with a better 60' and flat shifitng, the car will go 10's.

The only thing that will hurt her is the added weight when she puts in a roll bar.

[tort9320g]

Don't know if you remember me, we met a few years ago at the Nokamixon meet. Glad to see you're still around and into DSM's. I'm just getting back on the road after nearly two years. You're car looks great !! Steve and I are dialing my car in now on the new set-up and should be at Atco within the next couple of weeks. Maybe i'll see you there and we can line em up ! Good luck with the new set-up.

[t3turbogs]

[TrboChicsRock]

looked good at the meet jess, still think you need to adjust the vtec controller. :)

Thanks Pete! I had to turn it down. When I had it turned up higher it got a little scary driving it on the street like that. I could not handle the mad powa, yo!

[subwrxkid]

That's pretty sick. What did the grey evo have done to it?

You guys rented the track or something? lol

[olmytsi]

Yeah it was a track rental. I'm not sure on the exact specs but the evo had some variant of the gt30 series turbos.

[SuperHatch]

The Grey Evo is a stock blocked Evo IX MR, SBR GT3076 turbo kit, pump + meth, 26lbs of boost that day at the track, GSC cams/springs/retainers, it is also converted to a 5 speed. It's fastest run that day was a 11.3@125.

It made 440WHP on a mustang dyno at 29lbs, stock ECU flashed, I tuned it.

[jordanrw]

nice 2g, nice times.

[gsrboi80]

I cant believe I didnt see this untill now either. Thats an amazing ride. I love it in white.

Congrats Jess great work.

Yes, that was definitely my car. The guy with grey Evo is my ex boyfriend, he doesn't have that anymore though. It made 402 whp to be exact.

There is a few things I noticed I like about your car in the #226 pics. You kept the stock body because there is no reason to change it, no sure why 2Gs are riced out more than civics sometimes. And you took out that random black piece of plastic at the top of the mouth which blocks flow to the IC and just looks like ****. The hood pins have a clean look to them as well. Good work.

Wussssss

Yeah, I know. But it just wouldn't be as fun running only on pump gas and low boost since I don't have a cage :)

I'll drive it :mrgreen:

You only need a rollbar until you run quicker than 9.50(after that you will need a cage),but it has to have the side bars along the door which makes it annoying getting into the car if its something you drive alot.

Is it 9.50? I thought it was 10.0? Not that it matters... My car will run mid 10's and I wont ever build it to go any faster. At least not any time soon :)

it really makes no sense that you arent going to run it tomorrow... but thats just me.
