I am building a very high hp engine, for now it will be n/a and be adding nos very soon, and then see where it goes. Then in the summer i will be going turbo. So all my work will be worth it, for a high hp engine going turbo or not, its best to reinforce the engine first. The engine wont be...

i am curious of how much including parts and labor it cost to build up the engine for a 2g non turbo, meaning just the engine, i jjust had mine built just curious, because all of my parts were custom fitted and made, we couldnt find much for the engine, but its good no.

ok, i was wrong and out of line, i just wanted to believe he was right, like i said i know a decent amount about the car, but maybe not the in depth little stuff and the hp levels. I never said you guys were wrong and i was right, so from now on lets say as you say, the builder is wrong, we'll...

you guys still arent getting the point that you dont know what i am building, but the numbers you have gotten from your builds make sense, but what the heck are you saying about tt 4 bangers, lay off thats easy why is that sh%t, and the whp number i got wasnt mine, so dont get on me about the bs...

i also know about the pros and cons of turbo, so the tt 420a i was refering to was just what i heard.

a couple of things, yes alot of you guys know what you are doing thru experience and so forth, some do not. I know a decent amount, but not the actual gains of the parts via no experience. But saying the numbers i heard about my build that came from either the mechanic or my brother, not my...

all i am saying is that no one knows how much whp a certain mod or machine process will do, but generally maybe all are the same. but the tt 420a was what i heard. either way that doesnt mean anything to me. the numbers are what is said, i dont know any of you and i know him better. So thats...

i am still not down playing the numbers and you were bashing me about it, i dont care if you disagree and i still hope that the numbers will be that high, the way you were doing it thyat was stupid, not you disagreeing with the numbers, i am tired of people bashing me about what the mechanic...

i never said my numbers were important and when you started to bash me i also told you i dont think of those numbers, no one thinks that high, but thats what he said, so go back and read more, so nothing has changed.

another thing, why is putting a single turbo on a 420a like nothing special, but a twin turbo makes you laugh so hard, thats easy. and the car is being built for the sole purpose of turbo and nitrous. So i dont know how you going about me going both ways, when i am not, thaTS why i am lowering...

and whats the crap about me being able to answer any question about stuff that doesnt exist, yes i can answer alot of questions that are asked about the 2gnt and maybe so can you, i do smart small and give people advice, i dont tell them they are gonna get the numbers we say or to do what i did...

ok for one thing i said these numbers werent my numbers, so back off. And his eclipse also has .020" overbore, i am not claiming this is my power mod. the 375 is crank hp, but whp is much lower. I have done all my research probaly more than you, i am just now getting in to apply it. either...

you think the 420a eclipse is so slow, come race my all motor 420a eclipse, and it will probaly still beat your turbo or give it a run, neons such, they ugly, the 2gens are cool looking.

removing the accessory belt is simple, llosen one bolt maybe two and remove belt, dont cut, you might want to put it back on.

you telling me you running stage 5+ turbo on your car, what whp levels are you running and any timeslips yet. I am building my 96 eclipse rs all motor right now, so im curious what the 420a can, there is a guy down in roseburg, or that has a fully built twin turbo 420a motor in his eclipse...

the best way is just to start looking, you will be amazed at what you find, just start searching around.

howell is the best place to get one and one of the lowest prices, and especially for the afx ud pulley.

meaning that there is no cat on it now, if not maybe go high flow cat or a glass pack or resonator to add a little resistance. Thats what i did.

or atleast go to dealer and have them figure out whats wrong with it, and then get it fixed, i agree its the smartest way to go.

on another thread it was said that import tuner mag did a test on it and got around 9 hp, so thats sounds about right

if you want cold air, just go with a decent company they almost all are equall in gain numbers, dont just go with the biggest name just because that is what everyone does, if its alot more gain then it makes sense, but if not go with a decent one with good numbers in gain

have you found the mm on the bbk throttle body yet. AS of yet i have only found ones that are like 1 or 2 mm bigger, not worth it, i will amke one custom.

i only pay $420 every 6 months thats full coveage, with special stereo coverage and almost no deductable.

i am already on my second change and i only have 90 k, but the second change is on the new engine.

the timing belt is recommended to change around the 90k mark i believe.

alot of the major companies for our engine have a intake manifold, most of them are the sheet metal ones, they look nice and have some numbers along them, probaly alot smoother flow and increased then the stock.

with my car, i went thru 3 camber kits before it held my drop in, i got the 1.2 kit all around, but it settled and i got almost 4 inches of drop, its very close to the ground, but i am used to it, i like it

sometimes you geta cel when you do that, just run the same piping and you probaly wont get a cel, a mechanic on another thread told us that.

i am still looking for a 1gen to roll in, so i dont drive my 96 eclipse as a daily driver, any help finding one near or around oregon.

if you are putting turbo on it very quickly then go 3" catback, but if not go smaller for now, and with the pump and injectors, its kinds trial by error, because since they have some many at differrent levels than your experienece is different than the next guy, so go off of the rating the...

its half and half on when you get a cel and what mods trigger it, it depends on what you do and how you do it, like the mechanic said if done right it wont trigger the cel.

no matter what the company, go with a big mm wire and some good plugs, better than stock, usually a level colder or hotter, depending on your application.

i wouldnt suggest nos on a completely worn older engine, do some reinforcing first, or there is a possibility of hurting somethin, maybe in a newer motor, you can run nos on no mods, but not on an older motor, atleast its not the smart thing to do.

just search the internet and calling people and companies and you will find everything you want, there is always a company somewhere that has stuff for a particular car. Just keep looking, you'll get it.

going custom is usually the best way, you make it the way you want it and its cheaper. then paying the outrageous prices for some kits their asking for.

on all races its hard to tell unless you know the whp of both vehicles and know both drivers, it s a big crap shoot.

one of the best ways to find intakes for a car they dont make alot for is, to find a more popular car and use theirs if it fits. My friends 99 accent is using my short intake off my 96 eclipse, the angles match up.

he jjust rewired the main harness to the ecu or ecm, sometimes when you swap, you have to add or subtract some options from the previous engine, sometimes even swap ecus or ecms.

if you are going to buy a new mitsubishi, just wait for the evolution

yes that is the kit, but somwone one club dsm was selling a similar kit as well, thanks

when the bolts are that bad, you can only cut them apart or possible drill them out, but cutting either weld or sawzall works the best.

i am doing a engine build up and some mods and im supposed to get 300whp on the dyno, this comes from a mechanic who builds these engines for a living. Go take a look at my mods list

keep building yours up and keep beating on him and others who try to beat you, theres no limit to building.

if the gap in hp is that far, then no even driving skills wont make up for it, just spend your money wisely and kick his a#@.

just bullet proof the bottom end, and then boost the hell out of it

there it is, go with a decnt product and get a good deal.

all the headers will be around the same ease of install, most have around the same hp ratings, i have heard all good commets about the kamikaze headers.

you can aslo adjust the pedal perhaps or something is messing up with the throttle cable like said before or maybe the throttle body.

sounds like a good setup
