What tools are needed to change the starter on a '95 Eclipse GST?

Basically a 10mm wrench to remove the Hot wire from the battery, which is bolted to the starter, also, the solenoid wire is clipped on, and the 14 or 17mm bolts holding the starter in. i cant remember what size exactly, id say 14mm. just run you hand back there and you can feel the wires. and the 2 bolts. disconnect battery first

How do you diagnose overheating problems on a eclipse?

First thing you should check is the antifreeze level. If that is fine, replace the thermostat. If it still over heats after the thermostat, then most likely you need to replace the waterpump. If your antifreeze is low, check for leaks, the radiator, hoses, heater core, and water pump. If the water pump is leaking, that is your problem, replace that and thermostat all in one.

Can you turn a non-turbo car into a turbo car?

yes though you may need better than backyard mechanic knowledge. check the internet for "turbocharging". this will give you a basic idea of cost, what will work and some will give instructions on how to. alot of times they sell them in kits for the do-it-yourselfer. good luck

Of course you can put on a turbo, but you should probably get a professional opinion, and research witch is the best turbo for you.

Find another 93 eclipse or eagle talon in a junkyard and swap the parts from one car to the other and the computer also. And only run 5 pounds of boost. Which can be controlled by a boost controller.

It's possible but potentially very costly. Several things must be considered, including: (1) The current compression ratio of your engine - it will need to be lowered because of the increased air pressure in the manifold and combustion chambers from the turbo. (2) The fuel pressure regulator may need to be changed. (3) The intake and exhaust manifolds will need to be replaced with manifolds that have additional ports for the turbocharger connections. (4) The camshaft will need to come from a turbocharged car. I've seen this question pop up many times in car forums. It's usually cheaper (and safer) to just buy a car that has a stock turbo as opposed to spending a lot of money on turbocharging a naturally aspirated engine.

Correction. The camshaft need not be from a turbocharged car. Often times the cam specs are the same and sometimes N/A cars have wilder specs.

I've installed turbo's on a few cars that were originally NA. It's generally not as bad as many say it is and you can generally just put the kit on a healthy NA motor as long as you TUNE for it. The biggest thing that is overlooked is when you add something such as a turbo the engine will need more fuel/retard the timing. Example of parts:

Turbo manifold, turbo, oil feed/return lines, materials for a downpipe, materials for charge pipes, wastegate, blow-off valve (or recirc valve depending on MAP/MAF setup), intercooler (not always needed if boost is low enough), clutch to hold the power, silicone couplings/t-clamps for couplings, larger diameter exhaust system, engine management (DON'T cheap out and use an FMU or any piggy back system, most vehicles will either be able to be chipped and tuned by a professional or a standalone system can be used and tuned to your boost/power level.

Some things that are a good idea to change while in there are the head bolts. Most times the head will lift under boost if stronger bolts aren't used. Sometimes a thicker radiator is needed as well because of the extra heat the turbo can cause.

For vehicle specific stuff there are tons of forums out there online.

What would cause water on driver side floor board on a 2001 eclipse?

1. Possibly a stopped up A/C drain line or heater core is bad.

2. Check the water "chutes" on each side of the car in the door hinge where decomposed leaves/dirt and small sticks and pine needles build up. Once cleared pour water through the fresh air intake under the wiper. Water should exit at the front of the doors under the car.

3. Standing with the driver door open pour a pitcher of water over the sunroof enough that spills over onto the roof and then rolls down the windshield...all down the side of the windshield - not toward the fresh air intakes. Water may drip from underneath the fuse housing cover. If so, pull that off continue to pour water. It will probably be coming out of the plastic (interior) cover of the cieling post dripping. The black plastic band that rounds over the roof from the top of the back window to the base of the windshield actually shifts from back to front about 2 inches total - the passenger side doesn't move at all. Some of the clips may be broke or something.

Duct taping up the side of the windshield and making sure to cover the small hole at the top were that strip overlaps the windshield strip prevented water from coming into the floardboard. Now its either find more clips to hold it better or some adhesive/silicone to lock it into place and test again. - cnathanw@nospam@ yahoo.com

Will a 1997-1999 Mitsubishi eclipse engine fit on a 1996 Mitsubishi eclipse?

Yes it will. The motor is still the same 4g63, 7 bolt engine. Also a motor swap from a 90-94 6bolt engine will work too.

On the other hand, the gs/rs is also the same 420a,

Your starter went out on your 93 G20 can you replace it with the hitachi starter or do you have to use the Mitsubishi?

I have an original Infinity manual and also a CD-ROM with the 1993 Infinity fully illustrated and it lists both the Mitsubishi and Hitachi. I believe it's okay to use either. The spec design is almost the same! Bob F.

Where is the inside fuse box on a 97 Camry and how do you access it?

The inside fusebox on a 1997 Camry is to the left of the steering wheel, where that little "change" drawer door is. Open it up and remove it-it is behind that. Glad I could help a fellow "Camryrian."

What type of manual transmission fluid does a Mitsubishi eclipse 2001 take?

Buy BG Synchro Shift to use in your manual transmission; Mitsubishi highly recommends it to maintain smooth shifting. If Synchro Shift isn't available, any GL-4 transmission fluid of viscosity 75W90 is suitable. In the automatic transmission, use ATF+4 automatic transmission fluid.
