1. Because Tom got ready for the game, he got up early.
2. Getting ready for the game, he got up early.
(Does #1 grammatical? What about #2? Are both the same if they are grammatical?)
3. He ran away seeing me.
3-1. He ran away when he saw me.
4. You will find the house if you turn
to the right.
4-1. You will find the house turning to
the right.
5. I still don't believe it though I
admit what you say.
5-1. I still don't believe it admitting
what you say.
6. I can't help you as I don't have
enough money.
6-1. I can't help you not having enough
money.
(Is each pair grammatical and the same?)

1 does not make sense. It would be better to write, "Tom got up early to get ready for the game." <b>BUT</b> there are two instances of "got" in that sentence. That's what is making it not work well. So try this: Tom woke up early to get ready for the game.
2 is OK, but still has to instances of the word "get" in it.
3 is not good, but 3-1 is fine.
4 is fine, but 4-1 is not.
Both of the 5's are awkward and not quite right. Better would be this: I still don't believe it even though I admit what you say is correct.
6 is fine; 6-1 is not.
