Good evening guys,
I just picked up a very sweet little car and have started the process of rebuilding it. My fiance's dream car is a Mitsubishi eclipse so I found a Talon on craigslist and after a couple road trips I brought it back to my garage to begin the project. I went ahead and picked up an extra 7 bolt short block and took it to my local engine shop to be machined. I'm totally open to your guys advice on what engine internals to upgrade to, I'm planning on picking up new bearings, studs, pistons, crankshaft, connecting rods, etc. with a .020 over bore. My end goal is to have between 450-500 hp, is it worth turning it into a stroker while the engine is at the shop? Even though we don't have a nice 1/4 track close to our corner of Montana, I want to get somewhere close to 10 seconds if I can.
Then once I've got the engine complete I plan on working with MAP to get all of the other essential components upgraded. I already have ordered small battery and mount, Mishimoto fans, Mishimoto x line rad, Mishimoto rad hoses, DC Sports Rear Spt, DC Sports Front Spt, Motor Mount Inserts, Torque Solution Subframe and Master Bushing Kit, Amsoil for everything, and an ebay Rebuild Kit.
Next on deck is the Injen intake, VRSF Intercooler, JMFab Street Intake Manifold, S90 70mm TB, Synapse Eng DV, MAP Exhaust Manifold with a Precision 5858 Turbo, 1000cc Fuel Injectors, Walbro 255lb Fuel Pump, Fuel Pressure Reg kit, and most importantly ECM Link v3. Then I'm thinking about working with IPT to make the tranny strong. Am I on the right track so far?
Finally I want to focus on the handling by getting the Baer Claw brakes, Yonaka coilovers, and eventually new wheels and tires.
This is my first DSM but I'm really excited and look forward to all the advice!
Thanks,
Cody & Aline
