The best intake really other then stock is an AMM intake or a custom one like I had. They are really only good for turbo or if you are hitting high rpms due to the drop in low end hp and tq but you will gain in the top end. I see no real problem with the obx intake but really to much modding to...

I thought it was cool id drive it.

You need to search the forums. This question is asked a lot and their has been a section called upgrade path for the 420a (may not be exact but it will get you close). All of the basic upgrades are there and good ideas for what you need to do.To do a good search use only a few words like 420a...

Kar King Auto, Engines and Transmissions Specialist Rebuilt 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse non Turbo 2.0L 420A DOHC Enginehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Rebuilt-Mitsubishi-Eclipse-2-0L-420A-DOHC-Engine-/300539422433?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45f98ba6e1&vxp=mtrI know you said you want...

If your dad has the tools you can rebuild it with the help of a Haynes book. It is pretty simple the hard part would be on having it all checked out have a shop do that get a rebuild kit and the book you could do it yourself. The 420a is a very simple engine I have freshened up one in my avenger...

I got a complete rebuilt motor from a company named car kings online for 1400 shipped to my door with a 2 year warranty. To rebuild the motor from scratch it would take about 2 months depending on the shop to clean it up and get it ready for parts. A shop will charge you more then 1400 to...

Their will be no gain for you at the 3 angle valve cut as the valves are already angled to start with. It has been talked about many times and if you look you will see that most machine shops do this when they rebuild heads. Bullerdsm is the one who I read the most on about the 3 angle job and...

Sounds like you have a fair idea for the project and when it comes to a budget and these cars watch out. I had over 5k in my supercharger kit when my eclipse was still alive 2 months after I ran out of cash it got parted out for less then half of what I had in it. Don"t give in to the hype but...

I too have not had a problem yet. I get dumb codes or the IAC every once in awhile and the scanner find and clears it for me. As for streaming live data what are you trying to use?

Ok well I have decided on the longer big plenum. I was already wanting to use it but just wanted a push over the edge didn't get it but my inside tells me to do it.

Yes it was a huge part out I sold everything I had but my built head, I put it on with the timing belt. I used what was mostly stock bolt-ons and now I am just playing around with small stuff.I have been looking at the two intakes for the last moth and just want to use them both! Two...

What are you talking about mark? Im not out of the dsm game, I just had to drop my supercharger project and cut a huge loss on it. When I made the statement about getting out it was out of the Marine Corp and could not afford to keep getting that deep. Now I am doing the little things to add a...

So I have a dilemma right now, I built two different intake manifolds and can not decide which on I want to run. They have both been mocked up on the car and fit and neither have been flow tested. The one that looks kinda like an AMM intake is kinda the same design and I would (guess) that it...

It is a 2wd dyno sorry.

Hello socal I am looking for a group to hit the dyno on the 31st of March. We need ten plus people in order to set it up. The cost will be 60$ for 3 pulls, it will include hp/tq, 1/4 mile time, and air to fuel ratio(if you have an extra port for the wide band). The location will be in vista...

Really this is not cool my shop was planing a weekend to go their as a group I'm hoping they open it back up.

It was the connecting rod caps that I did not torque nor did I put the proper caps on the right rods (chrysler 2.7 1999-2005) . I did not think I was important, I was young and dumb with no one to tell me I was wrong now that I have a little more know how and have read a few books also ask...

The 104 in lbs is what the Haynes book sayes to torque to. I'm not looking to go crazy as I have seen when just going till it felled tight does did it to an old motor of mine and spun a bearing on a new crank. Thus the reason why I'm asking, I will be calling arp to get the recommendations for...

I'm using dual valve springs and crane 12 cams so I figure with the added pressure of the dual springs and the crane cams the stock may not hold up. All in all I just wanted to be on the safe side of things.

So I am putting my head all together and on this weeken. I got arp camshaft cap studs and their is nothing about torque of the bolts. I know with my arp head studs they are different then stock but have no idea on the cam studs. I checked ARP and they have no information on them. I was going to...

You can do it one way if you have the tools drill and tap holes into the outer arms of the pulley and use a steering wheel puller plus heat and it should come right off. I did it on my old motor to swap it onto the new one as some one had broken 3 parts of the pulley. A cheap tap and die kit...

If it is an awd talon then you would see some gains but not much. Not worth the swap unless it has 3'' pipe.

I did this just as a good laugh due to I was board. So I was on ebay and say an electric supercharger was said to increase hp by 8-12 with supporting modification. I really did not think it would do anything just putting that out their but hey you never know right. Got it installed it and...

Im running a really cheap ebay setup. Headers, cat, and some knock off pipes it sounds just as good as my friend how has a 600$ greddy. Really in my opinion a pipe is a pipe. I got my full setup for 150$ shipped header and pipe it is all stainless as well and after 4 years of driving still looks...

I opened up the center tail light by heating the glue and then lined it up center and mounted. I wired into the license plate light wire to turn them on.Once I split the plastics I removed the inner silver paint. I then coverd the letters with frog tape a little sand, primer, paint, and clear...

So just posting some pictures of the center tail lights that I modded. Them me what you think I have thick skin. I used led light strips to light it up. First one day time.NightSecond day time.Night

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/420a-bolt-tech/416310-intake-manifold-design-opinions.htmlThis is my manifold that I have built using the information found in the links provided take form it what you want but really good information.

Their will be stock injectors for now and 310cc ford red tops once I get the supercharger kit in and running. megasquirt will be my way to tune. I have a thread open on all the info to the supercharger if you want more information.

No the fuel rail was cusom made by RMR and is really nice and well built.

It is going to be painted gun metal.

New pictures of it all welded up and starting the finial mock up for the install. I drilled and taped in all the sensors along with the tb. I still have to install the fuel rail bracket and throttle cable bracket but for the most part its done. I am going to clean it up and paint it.I also...

So it has been a long time seen I was able to work on the intake. I got some real work done on it. I was able to finish up the port and polish on the flange and weld 90% of it together. The weld look like dirt but really strong and good penetration. Should have it done by this weekend. I am also...

2G (95-99) T/E 2.0L NT 420A engine Compression ratio 9.8:1 Standard compression 170-225 psi Service limit 100 psiHere are the numbers according to the factory service manual. I am to sure if their are any way to test for a bad piston or valve with out pulling the head.

Were did you find Brian Crower cams for the 420a never seen or head of them or do you mean Crower cams big difference. As for the specs they should be the same as stock tq specs look in a Chiltons or Haynes manual you should be able to find all the specs you need their.Index of /filesThis...

If you look at the pictures I posted and read up on intake designe you will see that with the angle of the tb and the runners the flow will have less turbulence and will run faster into the head. So the little bit it will slow down before it hits the head to turn will not have as great affect.

Really stated on the intake this week have some sneak peck pics for anyone who is waiting to see how this is going. I trashed the intruded part of the intake after some reading and a look at more graphs and with out the program to do flow tests it would not be the best idea to try. So here you...

In the first post their is a link to another thread I started about information on were I got my information and the place I got the metal. Lots of good information in the link.

Update got the metal in last light for my intake and just to show every one what im working with. The metal came from rmr great dealer and fair prices.

I did think about mounting the throttle body in the middle like that but as stated just no room for it unless you were to mount it on the underside of the intake making it a pain to work with. Nice idea tho.I will be posting updates once I get back to the states. I am starting to think about...

Just to make a it clear I am not sell this in this thread. If I do happen to make it work and everything pans out I may build a few more to sell but will become a supporting freelancer. I post this so no one gets the idea I am selling one or any in this thread.

Right now im not planing on making a n/a intake. Once I have this one done I will see how it goes and may do an obx style for the 420a n/a.I am posting pictures of were I got my idea from and why I choose to go on this path. As I have seem tho with computer to real world things do do work how...

After I get the first manifold made and beach tested and as long as their are no major signs of lean flow or rich flow I will bolt it and dyno and see what I get. If I see that I have really bad numbers then ill try another setup. I would like to get a flow analyzer program and run it but I by...

The reason that I have to make a new intake is the way the supercharger will set. It will be mounted right above were the intake is located. It will no connect to the intake in any way but though the ic piping. So the stocker will not work for this set up. I have to gain some clearance so I am...

Hello I want some opinions on my intake design. I will post a link to the thread I started about information on building your own intake. I did the picture in paint so please forgive the crudeness of the image. The specs of the intake will be some what like this-The link to my information...

Hi I want to know in the 1 gen neon axles will fit in a 420a eclipse? I know they share the same tranny but was not sure if the lengths are different or the splines on the hub are different.

Looks pretty good to me and looks clean nice job.

Not trying to really get into this (battle of 420a and 4g63) their is a 420a that made 661 whp and 463 tq. The user is DSM-ZERO. He has many thread about how he got to this point and a list of parts that he has put in along with the price tag. So If you really want to hit big number look for him...

This may not be to big of a wtf but I was at the pull a part and their was a mint 99 gsx that just got dropped off . I asked the yard what was wrong said blown motor. I asked how much they wanted to sell it for and said no sale because they will make more off the parts. Just made me sad to see...

I do also recall mention of the minivan awd swap. I can not remember were I read it at but some one was trying to do it not on this site but other. try to google minivan 420a swap and see what you can find. I will look and see if I can find it again but it may have been for the 3g eclipse.

Here are my opinions on your body kit. I am a fan of body kits done right. I have seen a lot of people do them nice and clean and run them on dd's. I think that rear bumpers does not match the front very well. I will post the top 2 rear bumpers that I think will look ok with your front bumper...
