I don't think people realize just how badass a car is with 325 horsepower and 300 ft.pounds of torque.especially in such a light car with AWD.. Absolutely insane Alex,nice work what a rocket.😊
I had a 2015 q70s 5.6x... would waste teslas. Not plaid, but the p80d, and model y's; WITH EASE. 420hp, 400 FtLbs, on less than 5k chassis. The awd acts as a torque multiplier. These eclipse's/talon's, are awesome.
Yeah Modern cars just get heavier with all the infotainment and safety BS they all carry. .. Would be interesting to get a modern car and junk every modern unnecessary accessory to see how much faster it would go.....
@JeffreyPerrault-hkxe I have that power in my Mitsubishi gsr cordia turbo it has boost by gear, it's fwd and 2100lbs with me in it and hands car's with double the hp a good piece of gapplebees pie all the time .
Alex if you are looking to replace your sunroof grease, mercedes changed gleitpaste a while ago from oil based to silicon based, so it won't be the same. To get the old grease you have been using, it is repackaged Kluber polylub 151.

@20:18 Hey Alex, there's a "trick' we used to do was remove the passenger side headlight to ger a ram air effect. It only takes a few seconds to take out the couple bolts an plug. With the headlight gone it's like a perfect tunnel directly into the air filter. Great on nice cool nights. The turbo loves that cold dense air.

Man! Brings me back…. I had a 95 GST from 1997 to 2007… I modded it quite a bit… all the regular bolt ons, a 16g turbo, front mount intercooler, and boost controller turned up to 20lbs of boost. The thing used to smoke stangs and vettes all day long. Was such a fun car. When the boost hit it felt like the tires were gonna come off the car. Never had a problem with mine, wish I never sold it.
@ definitely an awesome time back then.. I remember racing against quite a few srt neons… always fun hearing two turbo cars racing each other, blow off valves for days…
the factory spark plug cover is black plastic with a red strip on it down the center. You can get a factory one that says mitsubishi on it from the evo 3, mitsu still makes them and they come with factory bolts and rubber grommets.
I loved my 1991 eclipse gsx, I can still remember that exhaust manifold glowing cherry red after giving a muscle car guy a ride, popping the hood and explaining wtf just happened... lol those early turbo days were great
@@DC-si8xw yes back then corvette guys and mustang guys left with their mouth open once you put a 4 car gap on them in the first 60 feet. Spin city for them 😭😂😂😂
The Sunroof grease deserves and HAS EARNED its own sound effect Alex! As someone who has opened this type of DSM, having it run on a dyno and not grenade is a mechanical miracle.
Alex, you are in my opinion the finest, auto mechanic or as they say, technician. Your patience and method of approaching repairs is amazing. Please continue to keep the channel, Family Friendly. My grandkids love watching. May the, Lord Bless you and your Family.
Yeah, he's completely fearless of f'ing it up too, because he just knows he can fix it. I'm the opposite, cautious about peeling another layer of the onion. I don't know how tf he's getting that throttle body back together!
Alex. Change the harmonic balancer. It’s a two piece held by rubber. Yours looks old and if it separates, it can jump timing by melting the timing cover and getting caught in between the tbelt. Ask me how I know lol
Love my 06 MR. Got full bolt ons of course, had head decked, ported/polished, oversized inconel valves, stiffer springs w/titanium retainers, stage 3 cams, stainless 3” custom exhaust, titanium turbo manifold, intake, catless, gtx3576 gen2. The tune is severely handicapped I’m making roughly 400awhp tops because I’m still running stock block and bottom end. Sequential going in when that happens. Yes it’s laggy, I bought this bigger turbo knowing it will not be street friendly but when the block and bottom end is done, then the sequential goes in it will be much more streetable. Bigger turbos suck on the street especially when you have a manual like me but when you shift with the sequential you might lose a pound or so. The biggest thing with the sequential is they have to be tuned correctly to work with the ecu.
I’m 63 years old Alex, and I swear watching these videos makes me want to buy a DSM project. I retired to Florida last year, I can’t believe I didn’t watch your channel when I lived in Naperville.
There’s a tonne of car channels on RUclips now, but only a few are in the elite. Safe to say LSC is way up there. Keep doing what you do guys. For those of us that get little time to work on our projects, this gives us our fix 👊🏻
Yeah. I used one back in the 1980s. Brand name was Louisville Slugger - left the tire on and rolled the bat along the fender to get clearance. It was probably a hell of a lot cheaper than the tool Alex used.
So here for the DSM content, man. Love it! Also: the tuning twins and AMS performance built LEGENDARY DSMs back in the day. It's where they got their start, man. I have one of their infamous DSMs in my possession. It's a black 1G Talon and it went to TX2k back in the day when supras reigned supreme and walked everyone it came up against. Good to see them still messing with DSMs! Also: you are a set of cams away from 400whp.
Love to see the forgotten DSM content. Makes me miss my 97 GST. I loved that car so much. I wish I had these videos when I had the car. I may have been able to fix it. Thank you for saving this unappreciated car!!
I’ve watched you perform all types of repairs, but I don’t think I have ever seen you build an engine! I think the eclipse is a perfect candidate for that. I remember test driving these when I was trying to get in the navy, I absolutely love them
Add a Hydramat from Holly in place of your stock fuel pump pickup. It resolved the fuel cut issues of the factory sump in my modified Q50 with an upgraded hellcat pump. Love this build and your channel. You make all of this seem so easy.
Hands down you are my favorite channel. Because you are such a young giddy kid with these cars. You are not a know it all, or snob about your cars. The honesty of the channel is hard to come by as well. Watching is such a great motivator. So thank you very much for being you buddy!
I'm going with Ol' Jackie boy is gonna be flying up to lend a hand. Can't wait till she's all freshened up and looking her Sunday best! Fantastic as always Alex.
I used to want one of these when they were still making them. I've always thought they looked good. 400whp makes for a fast car when it doesn't weigh 5000lbs. I love seeing this getting some love. Looking forward to the next video on it.
been into cars for about 2 years now. found your channel a few months ago and have watched and loved every video going back quite awhile. learned so much from these videos to the point of not needing youtube tutorials to work on my car now. thank you so much!
I love them but the drivetrain is like glass fine china as soon as it’s modded. I think every single dsm 4g63 I’ve seen for sale is “just rebuilt” and still in pieces because it needs something.
The sound it makes when it gets up in the rpms is like instant nostalgia for my teenage years. I can't wait to see this after paint and body. This was the car we all wanted even before the F&F eclipse blew up.
The deep green from that gen. There were various shades of green, but one was dark and it sparkled in the sun. Most Eclipses I've seen were orange, red, black, or white. That green is so purdy.
I think my favorite part of the whole video is the look on Max’s face when you hit it for the first time. Such a real and honest reaction. The rest of my Saturday can now commence….
In aviation cotter pen safeties, when put through a castellated nut, should have the ends bent individually back around wrapping themselves in and then cutting the end to push it into one of the constellations to keep it from snagging on anything. 32:16
What an amazing result Alex, that is a beast. Good to see Max in the videos, his face was a must with tool noises 😂😂. Don't tell me you will have Jack, you know Tavarish's friends there hehe
LOVED my DSMs. I had a 91 Talon TSi AWD with an FP Red in a 2.4l stroker, and a 99 Eclipse GSX with an FP Green. Talon is probably my all time favorite car (as far as cars I've owned.) Miss both of them. Been considering looking for one to work on in my free time.
Alex & Max (woaw that's many x's 😂), you had that 2nd channel, get the behind the scenes video's there. We all want to see how the magic happens and get that channel going again. There is never enough LSC content! 😅
I can't wait to see it fully restored. I love DSMs, I had a 90 and 93 Talon TSI AWD, had a similar set of mods as you on my 93. I miss them. It's so hard to find one, living in the Midwest, that isn't completely rusted out. My brother has a 97 TSI AWD that used to be super clean, but winter just rotted it bottom up.
Mechanic from the uk here absolutely love the attention you put into cars when your working and the amount of projects you complete love the videos your self and your friends your always having great fun keep it up
@MercedesBenz, Quick, get Alex his new sunroof grease! The best or nothing right, so lets keep the Mercedes grease wheels rolling, just the way a good old Mercedes should!
The first "fast" car I ever drove was an Eagle Talon TSi with a manual boost controller a Thermal R&D turbo back exhaust and a few bolt ons. I loved it. 22 years later I still have the turbo bug. Thanks DSM for that!
This definitely one of my favorite videos! Love the 2G eclipse I had a 3G and always wanted a 2G gsx keep them coming youre literally fulfilling my teenage dreams lol.
I went into a dealership once to buy a Mitsubishi FTO, but then I saw something pretty and pure white with two turbos, and left the place driving a Mk4 Supra TT
Great to see the mix of challenge and reward! Awesome! Love that you didn't chase the 400hp too far--you are smart and not YT silly. That is respect for the car (and maybe your audience). Keep up the great content (and hats off to the tuning twins--nice to see their work and dedication in action too!!!)
Pro tip: when rolling fenders you want to make sure the back side lip edge is clean as rocks can get trapped and make dents when rolling. Also never make the lip flat always leave some gap.
If it's Jack flying in for body and paint, you could introduce a Stig-like character who only appears on screen in full paint gear and mask. He becomes a mysterious, mythical, heroic paint and body guy that some sayyy does better work than most Hollywood plastic surgeons, only on cars not stars. All we know is he's called...
Hey Alex. I know your channel is mechanically focused which is amazing, but have you ever thought about doing some driver training and showing us just what these amazing cars you build are capable of? I would love to see you doing some track racing or drifting or something. Just a thought. Thanks for all the great content and all your hard work.
I had a 96 GST and I loved that car! Nothing beats that body style from the 90's especially the convertible version. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi ruined the Eclipse after the 2nd gen. 400 hp is amazing and I can't wait to see that car finished, nice work!
I have a 94 Talon TSI awd and I LOVED that car. That car was a full built in my life motor and trans. Also exhaust too. I've been looking for another one for years!!! I want to buy one ASAP
Sideburns! Good video. Welcome to dsm life. I've been fully restoring a 1ga for the last 4 years. I also have a 98 spyder awd swapped, big boost. Take it easy on repeated launches. Tranny, clutch, transfer case, diff won't be happy, let them cool off. Awesome video
I didn't know you were an expert! Fun fact you can see the jump cuts in the video. He could have waited 5 seconds or 15 minutes between each pull for all you know..
42:10 I feel like they shouldn't be doing the testing with three big guys in the car. But it's probably just my own silliness and doesn't matter at all if there's a load on the car when testing the the power and boosting . But as I said that's probably only the paranoia poking through that I learned from my tuner when I was getting my own twin turbo tuned. Great stuff as always Alex! THANK YOU!!
Love your videos. I watch all of them and just wanted to say that your knowledge and skills on sooooo many different vehicles always amazes me. Keep it up
I remember back in the day I had a 92 Eagle Talon TSI all-wheel drive. I had a bigger turbo on it and I love that car. I didn't have any issues with the car and daily drove it for 3 years.
49:50 These cars for a very long time were considered the cheapest 10 second car you could buy. Simply because you could bolt on a larger turbo, gate, controller, push them to near 400hp and run in the 10's. Heck the factory turbos with some jimmy rig mods could get you to near 300hp. There's also loads of weight reduction you can do to mitsubishi's, they make their cars very sturdy, and a bit heavy for the size.. but the doors are heavy as hell, the back hatch is 100 pounds, hood is fairly heavy. There's many spots you can do some hole saw weight reduction as well. You can easily drop these from 2600 pounds to 2300 pounds with some carbon fiber stuff.
I had 5 or 6 DSM's growing up and they were a blast. They did seem to always have an issue, but it was awesome to beat am american v8 and make people mad lol. I love ur channel and really hope some day you do a volvo! I recently got a p2 s60 and it reminds me alot of my dsm's from years ago,just room for my kids now lol. I'd love to see you get one and modify it!

Everything is legit..
Gooooood Morning!!!! I love my Saturday mornings. Thanks again Alex, Max & team!
One of my favorite cars growing up. Thanks for showing it love.
It's one of those cars that gets better looking as it gets older, and it was already a great looking car when it was released. Timeless
It will always have some value since it's a movie car. They are pretty cheap too.
Hands down one of my favorites out of the fleet glad to see it getting the love it’s been wanting! Good content best car RUclipsr👏🦾
Very cool seeing that fender rolling tool in action. Pretty slick!
Yeah. I used one back in the 1980s. Brand name was Louisville Slugger - left the tire on and rolled the bat along the fender to get clearance. It was probably a hell of a lot cheaper than the tool Alex used.
As a 90’s kid i respect the clear timing belt cover tremendously. Hell yeah. 🤘🏽
I was a diehard dsm fan. 1st Gen Laser RS 5 speed was my first car, I miss it so much.

That's the joke, Nickelback never covered sound of silence and the image was from their song photograph
@@pantboy72 Ha - joke’s on me!
The first "fast" car I ever drove was an Eagle Talon TSi with a manual boost controller a Thermal R&D turbo back exhaust and a few bolt ons. I loved it. 22 years later I still have the turbo bug. Thanks DSM for that!
Your turbo goes pew.
We need your turbo to go "chu chu chu chuuuuuuw"
This definitely one of my favorite videos! Love the 2G eclipse I had a 3G and always wanted a 2G gsx keep them coming youre literally fulfilling my teenage dreams lol.
I went into a dealership once to buy a Mitsubishi FTO, but then I saw something pretty and pure white with two turbos, and left the place driving a Mk4 Supra TT
Great to see the mix of challenge and reward! Awesome! Love that you didn't chase the 400hp too far--you are smart and not YT silly. That is respect for the car (and maybe your audience). Keep up the great content (and hats off to the tuning twins--nice to see their work and dedication in action too!!!)
Playstation back in the dash would be baller 😂🔥
Pro tip: when rolling fenders you want to make sure the back side lip edge is clean as rocks can get trapped and make dents when rolling. Also never make the lip flat always leave some gap.
If it's Jack flying in for body and paint, you could introduce a Stig-like character who only appears on screen in full paint gear and mask. He becomes a mysterious, mythical, heroic paint and body guy that some sayyy does better work than most Hollywood plastic surgeons, only on cars not stars. All we know is he's called...
_And on that bomshell_ ...
Although a cool idea, it would be a disservice to Jakc, as he could use the channel promotion
Hey Alex!!! Max is in need of a hair cut!!! I’d love to come down and hook him up with one! We could add it into one of your episodes.

Hey Alex. I know your channel is mechanically focused which is amazing, but have you ever thought about doing some driver training and showing us just what these amazing cars you build are capable of? I would love to see you doing some track racing or drifting or something. Just a thought. Thanks for all the great content and all your hard work.
I had a 12 second 93 MR2 Turbo back in the day and these DSM's were always a pain at the dragstrip. As usual love the content.
Another saturday morning video. This is my coffee.
I’m with Alex there! I love being able to look up and see the sky now and again through my sunroof.
Bruh Danger to manifold 🤷♂️🔰👽🎬
only if you have the base Chrysler 420a engine and Pacesetter headers :)
I had a 96 GST and I loved that car! Nothing beats that body style from the 90's especially the convertible version. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi ruined the Eclipse after the 2nd gen. 400 hp is amazing and I can't wait to see that car finished, nice work!
I think I saw a Typhoon 05:53 😅..
You for sure did!
At the 28 minute mark you can see it
Love these DSM’s! AWD and a manual! I remember the eagle talon. Tuning twins are awesome! Almost 400 nice Alex!
5:52 Was that a GMC Typhoon on the lift?👀👀
I don't think so, but... 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I wondered about the mystery car that's blurred out. I came here to see if anyone else noticed.
Looked like under or next to the Lightning @29:43
@@Dwigt_Rortugal It's not blurred that I saw. Camera was out of focus for a second.
@@FastSS02 @5:52 it is intentionally blurred. @29:43 looks a lot like a Jimmy Blazer!
I have a 94 Talon TSI awd and I LOVED that car. That car was a full built in my life motor and trans. Also exhaust too. I've been looking for another one for years!!! I want to buy one ASAP
Screw the gambling ads. Ruins people's lives. Step it up Alex.
Sideburns! Good video. Welcome to dsm life. I've been fully restoring a 1ga for the last 4 years. I also have a 98 spyder awd swapped, big boost. Take it easy on repeated launches. Tranny, clutch, transfer case, diff won't be happy, let them cool off. Awesome video
" Don't wanna risk this engine at all," he says. 10 hot laps in a row For 5 horses?
Luckily, he knows a guy who's pretty handy with engines...😂
I didn't know you were an expert! Fun fact you can see the jump cuts in the video. He could have waited 5 seconds or 15 minutes between each pull for all you know..
He said Drivetrain not engine.
42:10 I feel like they shouldn't be doing the testing with three big guys in the car. But it's probably just my own silliness and doesn't matter at all if there's a load on the car when testing the the power and boosting . But as I said that's probably only the paranoia poking through that I learned from my tuner when I was getting my own twin turbo tuned. Great stuff as always Alex! THANK YOU!!
Love your videos. I watch all of them and just wanted to say that your knowledge and skills on sooooo many different vehicles always amazes me. Keep it up
Jack is coming to town . Lets gooo !!!!
I remember back in the day I had a 92 Eagle Talon TSI all-wheel drive. I had a bigger turbo on it and I love that car. I didn't have any issues with the car and daily drove it for 3 years.
49:50 These cars for a very long time were considered the cheapest 10 second car you could buy. Simply because you could bolt on a larger turbo, gate, controller, push them to near 400hp and run in the 10's. Heck the factory turbos with some jimmy rig mods could get you to near 300hp. There's also loads of weight reduction you can do to mitsubishi's, they make their cars very sturdy, and a bit heavy for the size.. but the doors are heavy as hell, the back hatch is 100 pounds, hood is fairly heavy. There's many spots you can do some hole saw weight reduction as well. You can easily drop these from 2600 pounds to 2300 pounds with some carbon fiber stuff.
i had a gsx had 280k miles.never had an issue with it very reliable car and super fun
My buddy had an all wheel drive eagle talon that was turbo charged and it really went as well. Similar cars for sure!
Scraping the top of the wheel arches before rolling them removes the dirt and makes a cleaner rolling of the fenders but good job 👍
I agree back in the day haveing a sunroof and tilting it up increased downforce is what my friends said...lol
My first love for a compact rice rocket was a 1st gen popup headlight DSM my cousin bought from an old couple. I've always wanted one since then!
I had 5 or 6 DSM's growing up and they were a blast. They did seem to always have an issue, but it was awesome to beat am american v8 and make people mad lol. I love ur channel and really hope some day you do a volvo! I recently got a p2 s60 and it reminds me alot of my dsm's from years ago,just room for my kids now lol. I'd love to see you get one and modify it!
Absolutely love this series. I have a 98 spyder, and it’s a joy on the weekends!
