Performance wise. Non turbo engines are all about air flow. A header will give you the best gain without spending alot of cash.

witch still isnt much bottom line 3000gt's are heavy. ur gonna need some more power to make that car reasonably fast.

oh hell yes^ +1 if its the dohc and not the sohc the factory twin turbo from the 6g72tt will bolt on to the NA versian pretty easy. didnt think about that. but remember it has to be the dohc versian

I would start with putting some new rims on the car, after that cold air intake, with catback... After that get a new deck subs/amp if you want an aftermarket sound system... after that start playing with the looks of the car... get new headlights w/e you want to make yourself feel like the king when you drive the beast around town...after your happy with the looks start doing engine mods...
Just remember its your car dont think of what others have to say about it....

Can I get an AMEN to SEBBA!!!!!!
id rather be get goin faster and outta sight versus goin nowhere lookin like a ricer
HALLELUJAH!
haha
serious though, Performance is my priority, the car already looks good enough, letalone without some cheesy bodykit and some wack rims.
but its all about personal preference more than anything

Its all about what you can afford. But I agree that you should think about performance befor looks. It can be a sleeper. Im going that way performance befor looks. I really dont care what the car looks like to much as long as it runs good.

Read his thread about the car he just picked up... and one comment "The guy didnt know anything" hmmmm.... that can work 2 ways

Big T28 turbo, NGK pugs+wires, Cosmo intake, Removed BCS restrictor, really rare HKS BOV (venting because last owner is a d-bag... will change when i have the chance), SAFC II, REV/SPD RSM, EBC to 16psi, 255 fuel pump, ACT 2100 clutch, Fidanza flywheel, Samco hoses, Boost guage, Oil pressure guage, water temp guage, turbo timer, ground wire kit, 100 shot direct port nitrous (never used), Greddy oil catch tank, Gold radiator cap, Eibach sportline springs, brembo drilled+slotted rotors, full 5zigen exhaust.
Soon supra SMIC or FMIC and a hard UIC pipe with a Greddy Type S recirculated.
Basically 297hp to break it down.

well thats somethen is that whp? with or without nitrous? well i give you props for having some performance mods with the exterior mods. my neighbor has a 430hp GSX and there is also a guy in my area with a GS-T spyder running 390hp on a T68 turbo on i believe 20psi on a safe tune.
Sebba

Yea without nitrous and yes whp. I didnt do the exterior mods... the d-bag of a previous owner did. I dont have the every day bodykit either. The front bumper cant be found anyware and the rear bumper was moulded from the stock one and 2 other bumpers that had been chopped up and moulded together to make what you see in the pics. So... its not just some ebay crap. Althouth i hate it its still the best eclipse in the UK according to all the people that voted. Anything more than 300 in a fwd eclipse is a little too much. I have suprisingly good traction at the moment and anymore would be overkill. T68 turbo... isnt that a rather large turbo thats usually found on supras?

yeah but putting in a TT would end up costing a lot of money.. at that point you might as well just buy a VR4, imo.

your wrong the parts are direct bolt on from the turbo engine. It dosent cost that much

It costs enough and its more complicated than just buying and bolting on. So your wrong too. Yes I have done it and its on my car right now. Its a little bit of a pain in the ass making it all run properly too. Its not cheap...BY A LONG SHOT
