hey wassup. yea i have a 96 eclipse gs and im wondering how would i make it run 13 to low 14's. also wat parts would i need. this will help me a alot.

well...you start by posting this question in the performance forums...not non-performance. Then you read this. http://www.dsmtuners.com/tuning-guide/

1.] Mash the long pedal on the right
2.] work the thing in the console
3.] wish you had a turbo :]

Really, there's not alot you can do to the 420a motor comparitively speaking. I'd turn your car into a show item and focus on performance when you get your hands on a turbo

You'd need to much with a N/T

full exhaust, Underdrive pully, 75 shot of nitrous, CAI, jeep throttle body.

To hit deep 13's you need drag radials too

don't let the turbo guys fool you, you can do it with nitrous or a turbo.

A local guy here was running 13s easily with a built 420a and 100 shot on street tires. Haven't seen him around in awhile though.

. Yeah, the right forum would be a start....

id start by not posting in the Non Performance section


LoL

get 10 second car.. and hit the breaks at the end

I heard you have to put a big aluminum wing on the back, a blitz knockoff body kit, and paint your car Neon green with ugly stickers to go that fast.

I'd be kind of scared about my intake manifold welds and the fact that my floor boards might fall off from the two big bottles of NOS, but I'm sure Me and the Mad Scientist can rip apart the block to fix it.

man, you really seem to have some issues with the fast and furious car for some reason??? imo that car was a very good look for the eclipse even if it is overdone..

Guys....lighten up. He doesn't know enough to know what he doesn't know...

If you can't follow what I just said, stop posting here. Help the man learn so he can ask the more educated question and eventually reconsider his priorities and goals.

someone around here is running 13s with his n/a neon, no NOS either. Though he has spent way to much.

Personally, I'd sell the car and use the money to buy a GS-T or GSX. I got my 95 GS-T with 95k miles on it for 4,800. And 1st gens are even cheaper, I got my 92 Talon TSi with 122k miles for 1200. If you take the time to look, you can find cars for real cheap from the right people. The GS-T I got from a small local used car dealer that didn't know too much about cars, so I was making comparisons with him to a GS that was for sale at a dealer down the block. The Talon I got from a lady who was having a baby and needed a family car. If you're trying to go for speed, which it seems like you are, i think it might be better to start off with a turbo'd car, seeing as how you'd spend more in the end making the N/A as fast as the Turbo models are. I spent about $2800 on my GS-T and my fastest time was a 12.8 on NT-555's.

Seconded.

People, don't bash him because he dosen't know what it takes to run 13's. Also try not to bash on him for owning an n/t please.

*moved to the correct forum*

full exhaust, Underdrive pully, 75 shot of nitrous, CAI, jeep throttle body.

Best advice given in this whole thread.

Cant member his name but a dude has a 1g nt that runs 14.6 or something. But he has like an entire built motor. Only thing he doesnt have is AWD, Turbo, or Nitrous.

if you want to run 13's i'd highly advise visiting either hahn racecraft's site or star's site and look into their turbo kits. of course high comp pistons and the juice will get you there too.

lots and lots and lots of cash:thumbdown

Cat back $500
under drive pully $120
cai $180
nitrous $500
Jeep TB $50

Having your rival pop the hood only to find out it's a non turbo; Priceless

DONT diss on the kid for having a N/T. It CAN be done, and its not that hard.

www.hahnracecraft.com

Stage I-$2200-14 second range
Stage II-$3200-high 13 second range.

PERIOD.

ok for starters, it will not cost that much for a n/t 2g to get in the 14's if you do it right.I have just an intake and got 15.7.the intake was like $90
for $500 i'm geting into the 14's and for under $1000 it will be in the 13's.This will be w/o n2o or a turbo,all motor.I'm sick of hearing the turbo guys saying JUST BY A TURBO CAR. Y what is the challenge in that. I'm not a ricer, I know what i'm doing,I know what works and what don't. 13s are not going to be that hard for little $. just try to see what works best with your car.If you turbo guys want to bash some one's car go do it to another car site, this is DSMTUNERS, not TURBODSMTUNERS.

i am curious as to how you expect to pull off a 13 sec 1/4 spending under 1k? i know a lot about building the nt up for an all motor setup, ive done my research and to be honest, its gonna cost a lot more than 1 grand for our cars to reach the 13's. not trying to come across as an ass, just stating fact.

All motor is another story. I find it VERY hard to belive that you will get your 420A in to the 13's under $1000k, no nitrous and no turbo.

A boy can dream can't he.I know I can get into the 14s for $500, 13s for $1000 mite not work but I'm going to try like hell to do it and it's 1k on top of $500 so it will be like $1500 for at least 13.99.

It's not going to be all new parts,mostly used ones
