small topic -> 00 Eclipse GS (12/24/2006 11:01:54 PM)
Ok i jsut bought this car about a month ago, and looking for soem mods to do to it. (of course) Whats the best place to start? I know Cold Air Intake, turbo, and exhaust, from there im lost. Please help me
The Turbo for that car is gonna go really deep into your pocket book to do it to the GS... Otherwise the cai/exhaust would be your cheapest starts. But dont be looking for a lot of power increase with just that.. How much money are you looking at spending on this car?

well...as its the begining of a street legal race project (my first), then im not really sure, as it will be over a course of time.
i wasnt trying to be an ass if thats what you think. but you can build up a spare motor with forged internals and swap an evo head on and get everything youll need and then take the old motor out and put the new one in.

i was thinking of buying a new engine from a performance company and dropping it in. i was going to drop a EVO IX engine in it but its an AWD and that wont work, so i think im just going to rebuild one. oh btw im not looking for more than 350 hp. since i prolly wont be using it much at the track or anything.
so sell it and buy a better car? thanx. i was thinking of an engine swap but idk wat to swap it with.
No swap needed... take it from me. I know yourcar like the back of my hand lol I owned the same exact car 4 years ago or somthing like that. You can turbo that motor and run 10-15 PSI MAX and make from 280-315ish HP with out building that motor up. But keep in mind that is going to still cost you around $4k to turbo properly

Just make sure you don't go the cheap way though.. If you go the cheap way, you will end up fixing stuff that you wouldnt need to and end up costing you more in the long run... Check out the turbonetics turbo for that [;)].
