2.0 liter n/t performance help

[canaslupus]

I have a 93 eclipse gs 16v, is there anyway to get it to 200 - 250 hp or is it impossible?
If so what should i do first? without nos. Thanks for any help

 

[Daedalus]

Yes. It IS possible.

(my personal site, but my mods should have me at or around 200hp within a week.)

Do a search for other threads. There is one very good one with like 13 replies. I cant find it right now.

Hope this helps somewhat!

Oh yea... In a couple of hours when someone tells you to sell your car, buy a turbo, or turbocharge your car (engine swaps included) just pretend you didnt read it.

the most cost effective way to hit that is, well first nitrous, then turbo. but if you dont want nitrous(why does everybody hate it?) then you almost have to go turbo unless you have a bottomless pocket of money.

Well it is possible But your gonna need alot of work for example your gonna need to go where few NT'ers have gone before im talking head work boring, possibly stroker kit, better pistons, new bottom end, nitrous, porting the hell out of everything, getting rid of all unnecasery accesaries (sp?), and so on and so on

your best bet would be to sell and buy turbo or just enjoy the fact that you do have a fairly quick beutifully handling sports car and focus your need for speed somewhere else like i have with my 64 falcon convertable...

Bringing this back to life cuz I'm trying to research about stroker kits for the 420a.

But about the nitrous issue.... you gotta be careful with that shit. Some people don't realize what it can do to an engine. Nitrous isn't something you can just "slap" on if you're gonna be spraying a decent shot.....you gotta build up the engine to handle it.

I personally think it's kinda a waste on a daily basis cuz it has to be refilled, the "benefits" are only there when you turn the nozzle, and if done right, you spend a lot of money anyways when you coulda used your bling on other power-adders such as a turbo kit or got a stroker kit.

actually, i did just slap it on, running a 75 shot, and im doing fine. nitrous isnt as dangerous as everyone thinks it is. F&F kinda tainted it with the welds on the intake going, fried piston rings, ruuuuunnnn naaaawwwwzzzz... yada yada yada. if you run a wet kit with a shot your engine is capable of handleing, the only thing that will hurt you is stupidity. keeping your foot on the gas at fuel cut while spraying wihtout shifting for 30sec will kill your engine, and you deserve it. our engines have been known time and again to easily hold a 75 shot on stock internals. there is no need to rebuild it for a 75 shot. the only building i did was buying colder NGK copper plugs, $10. add that to the cost of the nitrous kit, $545 and the refills cost $30. now, compare that to the cost to get a turbo kit up and running, $2300+. Stroker kit, which would only give like 30hp if you got 10.5 comp pistions, again $2000+. i think nitrous is a good mod to do, im not always racing therefore dont always need the power, but when i need it its right there at a flick of a switch, and man does it pull hard.

Not only that, but I know of a couple of people that refused to use NO2 because they thought it would explode... They didn't quite understand that it wasn't flammable and would fight tooth and nail trying to prove their point.

 

[EclpzLvr97]

I'm open to Nitrous and I agree with what you're sayin, GS. I was just saying how there are a lot of people out there who *don't* know how to use it properly or are simply lying about the shot they're running.

Are you still working on your n/a project car, or have you moved on to something else? If you are, what kind of results have you gotten so far?

 

[na90dsm]

well lets put it this way, i ported my pacesetters and did a few other things to my old car heres what i had

taylow 8.5mm wires, injen intake, pacesetter headers ported to match head, no cat, 2.5 test pipe and pacesetter exhaust.

had so much torque i fried the stock clutch and cracked my tranny in half. also i have this little beuty to show for it. to the people who dont knwo this is the frotn passenger side dowel boss on your engine block. you kinda need this :laugh:

[myfirstTALON]

can you give us a semi-detailed description of what you did to get "sooo" much
torque.

 

[StreetSleeper34]

Yeah, I am curious as well. I have a lot more than just that done to my n/a and have not experienced any problems to that extent. Could that have been a preexisting problem that finally gave once you started modding it?

 

[IceDragon]

I'm running a pacesetter header, a highflow cat, a 2.5 inch pace setter exhaust, a custom intake, maft with a 3 inch LS1 camaro sensor, and I am torque-y and move, but I have had NOOO problems, besides the weird resonating of my exhuast which I am soon gonna fix.

 

[anubis]

wtf?! this thread is over 2 years old!

intake and exhaust is not going to make a butt-load of torque on an NA 4g63. get on a dyno and prove it.

gosh.

 

[IceDragon]

I dunno anubis, it showed as new on my screen one day so i replied cause i saw him say his torque wrecked his tranny... which i have to disagree with... as I have more done to my car and nothing's gone wrong besides the driver.
