2g n/t basic mods

[4g63-is-cool]

Ok, whenever I get my 95 Eclipse n/t I will immediately start modding out... I know I should start off with intake, exhaust, headers, blah blah.... but what is the best companies for these, and no ebay knock-offs or cheap diy crap..... CAI i think AEM V2 is the best right? I think i'm set that way, but what is the best exhaust? It has to make alot power, but on exhaust, sound is more important... Headers? who makes most power there?? Has anyone bought those Nology Hotwires? do they really work???? just give me some the best basic mod path, ignore prices, I dont deal with crappy pieces, I would much rather save another week and get real stuff...

hahhh emmm!!!
like i said in another post....a loud muffler doesnt mean horsepower.....your maimum flow is coming out of your exhaust manifold change that then work on the exhaust system .....trust me ask any muscle car enthusiasts it applies to all motor vehicles

for the extra 1000 bucks your going to spend on the "top of the line" parts you talk about, you may be able to squeeze an extra 5 hp over someone with the same car and more reasonably priced mods. With that 1000 bucks you could buy more parts.. If your not going turbo or nitrous, i wouldnt fret the most expensive parts. If your going turbo or nitrous, i feel it would be more worth it. Explain your final goal for this car to let us help you out more.

well i hope this will give you a general idea of some mods for the 420A....this is a long post...i posted up in another topic but i guess no one read it...

i'm not goign to type out the article... but i will give out the basic facts...here goes!!

TEST-01 BASELINE

119.2 HP
122.7 TQ

We hauled ass to the dynamic autosports dynojet and our session ended with 119.2 horses driving with 18 inch velox/falken combination, backed up with 122.7 foot-in-your-ass pounds of torque.

TEST-02 TUNE UP (Mobil 1 Synthetic and NGK BK7ES Spark Plug Set)

122.6 HP
124.4 TQ

with the magic of clean synthetic motor oil preferable (Mobil 1 synthetic) the 420A decided to shape up and let loose with a few extra horses and a little bit of extra torque. Keep your car running in good condition. Remember performance parts will get you there fast, but maintenance will make sure you can get there at all.

TEST-03 CAM GEARS

129.1 HP
130.8 TQ

Aries started tuning magic with these little red sprockets. The entire curve shifted up about 6-8hp all the way from the 2200rpm mark to redline. The biggest HP increases began at 4000rpm and gradually grew until redline. The beauty of cam tuning was abundantly clear as no rpm point was left unchanged for the better.

TEST-04 NITROUS (NX Express Single Fogger kit, jetted 50hp shot)

165.6 HP
168.4 TQ

A healthy dose of laughing gas brought the horsepower and torque numbers up to superstar levels. Increases of 30-40hp were immediately apparent across the graph and available torque was likewas shifted up into the 160lb-ft region. We can see that the car was truly happy after a shot of the giggle juice.

CONCLUSION

The 420A in the mitsubishi eclipse is a competent motor. Although not neccessarily tuned for performance from the factory, the addition of basic bolt-on parts can help unleash the horsepower and toque on this 2.0L motivator. Explioting the motor's strength, it's relattively high torque numbers, seems to be the key to getting the eclipse where it wants to go faster and quicker. So if you drive one of these machines. add some bolt-on goodies, stir in some laughing gas and shake well for a delicious performance meal.

also i wanted to add, it seems to be apparent here that all the graphs for each test,
the eclipse seemed to gain the most power starting at 4000rpm until 6500rpm

they also did a power pages on a 2001 Toyota MR-S
i just wanted to share this cause i thought it was pretty amazing......
the factory rated this car at 138hp so we expected the hp to be around the 110-117 mark figuring the drivetrain transfer loss. We strapped this car to the dyno and HP checked in at 124.7 while torque came in at 112.2. Apparently our test car has a motor built by happy assembly line workers.
