Need help on 2G upgrades! Please give me Advice!

[icer412]

My car is a 1997 automatic transmission GSX AWD eclipse

My goal is a high 200 - mid/low 300 range HP. Anything in that range would be nice. Trying for reliability. This car is a daily driver.

--- BTW the current Aftermarket parts list for this car looks like this ---

1. RRE 3" short downpipe
2. magnaflow/RRE 3" high flow cat.
3. Apexi N1 cat-back 3"
4. GREDDY 24v Front mount intercooler
5. GREDDY Upper and lower intercooler piping
6. GREDDY type RS BOV
7. Punishment Racing custom manifold mistubishi flanges
8. Punishment Racing custom O2 housing mitsubishi (stock) flanges
9. EVO III big 16G Turbo
10. Injen aftermarket intake piping (polished aluminum)



Here are some things I have been thinking about (please correct me if I need somthing different than what I list):

1. Injectors (maybe 700+ CC's ??? not sure on best size)
2. Fuel pump ( not sure what size needed or would be best)
3. Boost controller (not sure what kind)
4. Turbo timer (needed ??)
5. EGT guage (needed ??) (installed on the manifold? or would it be best else where? )

Can anyone think of anything else I might need or would be easy to use/install and would give me some good benefits?

I am not really on any kind of budget or anything.
I don't want to spend more than I need too though. It is common sense on that part.
I do want to reach my goals though.
I don't want complicated though. If I can spend money to NOT rewire something, then that is worth something to me.
I do want good, reliable, and easy. (I love plug and play)
I do want things to fit wth the currect setup that I have going.



Also what do you think about Stand Alone ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM? Is this an option other than DSM link? And would it be better, worse, or the same?



Thank you for the help,

Thomas

Upgrade path tool

 

[fastfwd97]

1. Injectors=You should get 600-650cc injectors
2. Fuel pump= Go with the Walbro 255lph pump
3. Boost controller= Get a Hallman Pro MBC(Manual Boost Controller)
4. Turbo timer=Get a turbo timer, saves the turbo, a Blitz one is great.
5. EGT guage= Get one, with the plug installed on the manifold

Can anyone think of anything else I might need or would be easy to use/install and would give me some good benefits?

And the number one benefit is to make sure you have a 2g Socketed EPROM ECU, with DSMLinkv2, and an AEM wideband kit so that you can tuned. And you should be set.

Take a look at the upgrade path in the tech section. It will tell you everything you need. But you are almost there. 660's will be fine for what you want. 190 lph will do ya but if you want more then you need a 255. A logger + SAFC or DSMLINK.

Oh yea.. A timer isnt 100% nessesary. Its only if you dont want to wait 30 seconds for your car to cool down. But a cool down IS NESSESARY. You dont get off of the hwy doing 80mph and park it at the gas station without letting if cool down.
