'97 GSX - Need Input

[Darkov]

Hey guys I was hoping some of you could make sure I'm going about things in the right way. Im going to buy THIS CAR or a similar one ('95 - '99 Eclipse GSX) if that one turns out to be bad when I go to look at it. Is that car a good choice?

After I buy it (this is where I need some input or validation-- make sure im not going about this all wrong haha) I want to install the following:

Mechanical Boost Gauge
High Flow Intake
Better Compressor Bypass Valve
High-Flow Catalytic Converter
Plugs, wires, and coil
Boost Controller
Better Intercooler Pipe
Better Turbo (16G or 50-trim?) and BOV
Coilovers,strut tower bars, sway bars
EVO 3 syncro's
High Flow Air Filter
High-Flow Cat-Back Exhaust
High-Flow Downpipe
Fuel system (pump, regulator, fuel rail, injectors)
Port Exhaust System
Better Clutch
Camshafts/Valvetrain
Pistons/con rods/Crank (lower rotating assembly)


This is just the first few things I want to do to it. Is there anything I should add to this list, or do in a different order? Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!

You dont have anything on your list to tune with like an AFC or Dsmlink. A wideband o2 gauge would also be something to add to your list.

Nope i think everything sounds good there....maybe just check the compression on the engine, to see what work you might need to do there.

Check this upgrade path out:
Tech Guide: 2G 4G63t Upgrades - DSMtuners

There's a few others around as well. If you do some searching, there's already some threads with the same topic that should be able to help you out.

Ill add DSMLink to my list for sure, looks like a very good investment!

Ill check the compression as soon as I get the car, and see what happens from there

And I'll be sure to check around the forums for other GSX topics.

Thanks!

First off, you listed both a new Compressor bypass valce and BOV, which are, the same thing effectively. as far as a 16g turbo or 50 trim, you will need to upgrade the fuel system as well as something to tune with as mentioned above
