Ok so heres the deal. i have been getting my car together for a couple months now and am very happy but looking for more power and i was looking for some advice on what way to go. My car is a 93 gsx eclipse with a 6 bolt. So far the car runs great with no real problems minus the trans grinding which i am getting rebuilt soon as i get around to taking it out, LOL to lazy. But heres the set-up to date, where/what should i do next in you opinion?

stock block with 120k, arp head studs, fp2 cams, pte scm61, full 3' magnaflow exhaust, test pipe,custom intake pipe, magnecor plug wires, k&n air filter,2g maf, 650cc injectors, turbonetics extranal gate, 2g ported ex.manifold, halman boost controler, fluidyne rad, slim line fan, buschur front mount with short route piping, greddy type s bov, 2g o2 housing, s-afc, key diver stage 3 chip with extended fuel and timing maps, data logger, autometer egt gauge and boost gauge, act2100 soon to be replaced when trans comes out. :rocks:

thanks for the help guys and any idea are appriated.
 
I would just spending some time tuning it. The scm61 is a pretty big turbo and will make some crazy hp numbers. How fast were you looking to go and how fast have you gone. I'm pretty sure you haven't used the turbo to its fullest. Maybe putting on a smim or getting some bigger injectors i'd bet that you are running them to the edge with that turbo.
 
i havent ran this turbo at the track yet or the cams. i just recently installed the cams and turbo and it pulls much harder then it did with the 20g i had in it with stock cams. on the 20g i managed a 12.8 at 110 with high 1.8 60ft. that was on 26 psi with 106 gas. I am running 23 psi now trying to stay pump gas. i would honestly like to see mid 11s on pump and low 11s on race gas and still try and keep the stock block. I also think some more tuning may get more hp but i was just seeing what you guys think i should do next as a bolt on. i have been looking at smim but the problem is i drive the car on the street often and from everything i have read, smim = loss in bottom end. the turbo already spools pretty late so i wasent sure if i should get one quite yet. thanks for the advice!!
 
Well i have a jm fab smim and a t3/60-1 with fp2 cams and hardly noticed any loss in the bottom end but the gain on the topend was pretty nice.
