Thank you! I found the upgrade paths as well tbh didn't know about the side menu 🤣

This is the Build Thread for T-97. Reply below.

Thank you!

Sorry my question wasn't worded very well. I was more so asking how often these heads warp, some heads are pretty good about holding up to heat for a while before warping and some are not, I plan on checking everything with a straight edge...

I threw the water pump belt, the car overheated. Head gasket is cracked. What are the odds I'm going to have to resurface the head? And if so, should I just buy a new one instead ? I've been quoted about $400 to get this one resurfaced, I feel...

Hey, assuming I have a completely stock 2g eclipse, what all steps/parts do I need to take to get it to about a 350 hp. I've seen some talk of parts lists but can't find any 🤣 trying to stay on a conservative budget but I'm willing to splurge for...

No you're right. It is turned instead of milled. I always get them backwards even with rotors LOL. You would think with it being round I would get it. The first one spun after an oil change and the two halves were on the same side but after...

No I get you, honestly, I don't see how people can have a lack of respect for these engines after seeing what they're capable of. And I'm not expecting it to be perfect yet. Has previously stated it has been sitting for 15 years. The fact that it...

Fair enough, yeah I'm just getting into the 4g63t, kind of crazy how much power these things can put out. But sounds good it needs done anyway I'll let y'all know thank ya!

I believe it spun due to a clogged port, the car had sat for 15 years, after an oil change it was too dry is our guess. After that we basically started it dry now we are at 50 miles or so with it just babying it with break in fluid.

That's what I've heard as well, this is last try before complete tear down. But no it was just assembled using oil instead of assembly. We have been dropping the pan to inspect the crank. We have mostly caught it before it had the chance to make...

I believe our lack of assembly lube may have been the problem we have checked our specs with rads. And are within limits, will update if I spin it again!

I keep spinning rod bearings the crank has been milled hoping for some tips and maybe a number for a brain to scratch lol.
