2G Eclipse GSX Treadstone TR1045 Intercooler Install & Review

[@joeschmo9838]

2G GSX's will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was furious when a Titanium Pearl one popped up for sale just 2 weeks after getting my Titanium 3g :( Totally unmolested as well with only 75k on the clock QQ I begged my parents relentlessly to let me trade my 3g in on it and cover the difference but Mom said no :(

[@oscargutierrez970]

I have a 97 gst which one day I hope for it to look as yours

[@azumaninjay]

I know it's 5 years later but your timing belt it to tight. Or you have a bad bearing. Mine made the same noise when that happened to me.

[@jdxnc04]

If that were the case I would think something would happen in 5 years of use....nope still fine cause it's not.

[@uscp2]

Thanks for the video, nice comparison. also helpfull for the non DSM guys like me. Also, great looking car!

[@davidwootton6633]

Great video bro......very professional way to test out a product. By the way i love the car bro....... I have a Integra (black) with a b18c5 TYPE R swap . its set up N/A tuned on 91 pump gas with just standard bolt on's ( intake , DC header , full exhaust system ) dyno tuned making 220whp. I would love to boost it . its got very high compression so im looking at low boost like 4lbs psi. With eagle rods & ARP head studs. Im only looking to get 300hp - 350hp to the wheels no more then 400whp. After that im looking for a new project ( im keeping the. Cars i build ) im either going to get a Honda S2000 or a 1st gen talon tsi / eclipse gsx or a 2nd gen eclipse gst or gsx / talon turbo or TSI awd ( i hate the talon spoiler lol im going to get a eclipse " whale tail " spoiler if i get a talon ) if i can't find a nice eclipse/talon im going to get a EVO 9

Hey man u should really make a how to convert a gst to a gsx vid because i just bought my first car and its a 1999 eclipse gst i love it but i wanna have awd instead please!!!!!! Help and make a vid btw love the vids 🔥🔥❤

[@jdxnc04]

Jose Rodriguez sucks because I did it like 7 years ago lol. I'll try to put something together

[@JoseRodriguez-ts6no]

Jason Drew's DSM. Thanks your amazing i cant wiat i love your videos and would love to meet you🙏🙏👌..

[@Inturistt]

Same here , got GST and want AWD , if You could put something together would be great ! Most important part how i know it's the brackets which needs to be welded , but where and how :/ And Great video !!

[@headlesnorseman701]

Just buy a gsx donor car and start swapping the parts. It won’t be quick or cheap but it will become apparent what you have to do once it’s all in front of you

[@5PYZ3R]

He's making a full series right now, check it out

[@PIMP-J]

The setup where you logging there int he car where the radio goes. What is the setup, that is neat!

[@jdxnc04]

It's Ecmlink on a Windows tablet, there's a video about it on my channel.

[@leocostigan6961]

Awesome work man. Going through the logs and explaining everything was great.

[@jeromelevesque8330]

I recognized the tipical sound of a twin discs no spring clutch right ? Act or quarter master ?

[@jdxnc04]

Neither, it's a PowerTrain twin disk

[@iugrad07]

Nice man great video im looking for a new set up

[@DrSiech]

Great vid, thanks for this!! 👍 The Treadstone you have chosen is in my opinion to big, how is the turbo reacting? Do you note a bigger lag or something else? Thanks

[@jdxnc04]

It's a perfect match to my setup in my opinion. With the turbo upgrades and intercooler I'm seeing quicker spool than I did before and the car ran the same trap speed with 5 psi less boost.

[@DrSiech]

Jason Drew's DSM Thanks for the anwer! So I can go with the bigger intercooler. I guess I‘m going with the 1035 for my 400whp car 🤘 What for a Turbo is mounted?

[@ChrisTheMobileMechanic]

Cold Jason?

[@jdxnc04]

It was only 60F :p

[@lifelongfit5997]

Haha. Funny reply bro. Haha. Thought the same. 🤣

[@jeffquesada3492]

[@FAQBrooks]

Holy moly what was that rattling when you started driving it?

[@jdxnc04]

That's a twin disk clutch, it's normal.

[@brandonjeffries2128]

anyone know of any full intercooler kits? i honestly dont want to deal woith custom piping but if thats what has to be done then so be it

[@jdxnc04]

This is the kit I have but I replaced the core as seen in the video www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17447&cat=3077&page=1

[@Willo3323]

Hi there sir great video. Can you show us how yo installed the brembos on your car I have them but not yet installed, and I need someone to teach me how to. Can you? thanx a lot!! :-)

[@jdxnc04]

I don't have Brembos so I can't show you how to install them lol

[@Willo3323]

@@jdxnc04 oohh damn!! They look like brembos lool sorry! 😅😓

[@AndresTorres-lb6pj]

What’s the intercooler width? 3 or 4 inches

[@jdxnc04]

4.5

[@seregasimoff]

Hey. Tell me please. For some reason, on the threadstone website, this TR1045 intercooler in the photo does not have such pipes as yours, that is, there are not images not welded, but you have welded ones? Are you satisfied with the effectiveness of this intercooler?

[@jdxnc04]

I bought mine through MAP, it shows them cast in too but maybe it's an old stock photo: www.maperformance.com/products/treadstone-4-5-intercooler-tr1045 It's been great, 10x better than my old core.

[@orpryan8855]

What is the size of the intercooler?

[@jdxnc04]

10.5" X 22" X 4.5"

[@orpryan8855]

Thank you

[@kaynepontrelli5746]

Did you know punishment racing fmic are actually cx racing

[@jdxnc04]

Yes, both come from the same Chinese supplier.

[@kaynepontrelli5746]

Jason Drew's DSM yeah, cx racing is my local shop and they drop ship for punishment racing

[@GarrettDWalters1]

He says this in the video.

[@kylejohnson403]

Jason - do you know the specs/size/pitch of the threads on the side mounts of the intercooler? I am installing the TR11 and I am trying to buy new hardware.

[@jdxnc04]

I believe they were M8's, I used some bolts from my DSM bolts bucket

[@CuseKicksNY]

I just bought a 99 eclipse gsx and i was wondering how you trimmed your bumper to expose the intercooler? Can you do it on a stock gsx?

[@rabbon-ithegenesis7169]

👍

[@jinsc9596]

so... if you were going to pull the crash bar anyway.. why did you not just remove it and the bumper as one complete piece and save the struggle of fighting with the bolts under the headlights? I also don't understand why 'some idiot' putting those bolts back in place is a bad thing... you do realize that those bolts and the brackets that are used to hold the bumper to the crash bar are there to prevent sagging right?

[@jdxnc04]

I guess you didn't catch my sarcasm, "some idiot" was me. I didn't remember putting that bolt back in there. I think you'll notice I have a good mind on what keeps the bumper from sagging, as mine doesn't have any and I kept the crash beam.

What Data logger program do you use?

9:40 another cool little trick I learned is to pop out the turn indicator light to get to them, hope it helps, keep up the good work, your build inspires me (a little cheesy sorry)

[@jdxnc04]

Mine are actually siliconed in because they wouldn't stay lol

Jason Drew's DSM I think ima have to do that to then because one always gives me trouble ha
