1998 RS question

  

haloce300 -> 1998 RS question (4/5/2007 5:06:39 PM)

I got about 117,000 miles on it and I'm trying to decide what i want to do. Would you guys recomemend NOS or turbo? I'm not trying to get to much HP looking for around 250-300. I have been looking up a lot on NOS lately seems like it will be the more cost efficent way to go. Any ideas? BTW mods so far are Centerforce clutch, 5 zigen exhaust, highflow cat, short ram, and headers.

Safest way would to go with a turbo..  But it is also gonna be more expensive..  NOS is cheaper, but will shorten your motor life if used wrong...  250-300 to the wheels isnt a small task to get with an RS...  Your gonna be dishing out a little $..

if nos is used right wouldnt it be better? im not saying id use it a lot, the most once a month. probably purge more then anything :)

I dont see how nos, used right is better. With turbo you dont having worry about filling it up, your running alot safer than with nitrous. Its alot easier to tune for. And youll get better gains overall.

So using it for mostly purging... you know, you could save yourself time, and some money by simply just burning dollar bills then.

LOL Honestly, I want something I can bring to the track and hit maybe high 14's. Also I'm looking for an attention getter. Yeah my car isnt the best in the world, but I want something that can make people look. I guess you can call me a ricer...maybe, but I'm a ricer looking for style and class. No giant wing, no loud high pitched muffler, no stickers all over my car...you get the idea. Looking for BOV or Purge probably. Some show and a lil go :)

Dusty Eclipse -> RE: 1998 RS question (4/6/2007 3:17:56 PM)

Racer and Style/Class is an oxymoron. I dont think you can even use those words in a sentence w/o the word "none" or "no". lol, seriously though, a BOV isnt a bad idea once you put in a turbo... just dont try to vent to atmosphere. Its pointless, and not good for your motor. If you insist in having your car 'hiss' (Chiuuuu~~~ :Sebba:) then you may as well just hook up a purge system to a can of hairspray, itll be cheaper.

haloce300 -> RE: 1998 RS question (4/6/2007 4:05:49 PM)

Hairspray eh? See I'm looking for some speed too ya know...just wondering, do they make a supercharger for the 98 RS's?

Dusty Eclipse -> RE: 1998 RS question (4/6/2007 4:46:42 PM)

I dont believe so. Though, I can offer you this idea: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/420A-TALON-ECLIPSE-DSM-T3-CAST-TURBO-KIT-w-piping_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ002QQitemZ120103803880QQrdZ1
