Ok so I just got my car out of the shop, So far Im geting no where with this car. In about 4
months i have almost got the car back to stock normal, after a crash took part the door
was about to fall off. The door mounts on the driver side, the bottom mount almost cracked all the way throw i was t-boned and let the door stay that way for a while, no insurance :( anyways I got a new fendor put on and got the door mounts welded that cost my 900 bucks. Then I took my car in to a local shop by work with many cars out in the parking lot waiting to be worked on. I told them i had an oil leak i posted some pics but no one could really help me out on here. They said Oh you need new oil pump seals and well i was at it might as well do the oil pan "Due to a big dent in the old one" and oil pan gasket seal, So they did the work for about 850bucks. Long story short i got the car back and made it 3 block before i lost power steering got it towed back they called me told me i needed The head mechained and decked new oil caps put in it due to the first time i bent a rod in the block the Dealer put silcone in two holes in the head behind the cams gears for the oil caps?? Not sure if that correct terms A new timing belt ,water pump, belt tensionor All new serpentinbelt, cam seals, valve cover gasket, Front main seal Anyways i wanted to share my bad luck with the car so far not so much bad luck when you beat the Shite Out of your DD I paid about 2150 out the door And the car sounds great Still every thing stock pretty much Basic items done to it not sure but it seems quicker and sound nice i think they did valve work because it sounds alot deeper and not so much low end torque but it increase alot as I go faster<--- bad luck

So Now there Still something holding it back at low end speed the car has 100k on it and i have never done the fuel filter or anything with the fuel filter like injectors fuel rail. So I have been reading about every night for about 2-3 hours on this forum since there is a huge amount of info about this topic but I still don't know wtf im looking at when it comes to 550cc injectors or even any clue on what would be a good set up i seen equations for the figureing out how much fuel you need but still if you don't know anything about inports I just don't want to make a mistake due to being in debt 1750bucks so if some kind heart out there would help me build a parts list for a new fuel set up for a 420a eclipse non-turbo I would like to go turbo one day but the prices are alot and im going to try to get the engine first so i can get it machined and buy the nice parts JE Pestions eagle rods Also I have been reading about Compression rate for pistions whats the diffrence of 8 5 1 to 10 0 1 sorry thats wrong i read some thing about it was wondering how or what the diffrence is i want the car to be a sleeper but have no garage or a friend to show me the light of inports thanks<--- questions I asked about
 
Well I dont know much about the 420a motor but I can tell you that normally low compression pistons are better for turbo vehicles. On a n/a vehicle the higher the comp pistons the easier it is to make power. Im sure someone can chime in with a bit better info.
 
For future reference try to break up your thoughts into paragraphs, it is very difficult to read when it's all jumbled together like that. I got about half way and just gave up because I saw nothing that related to a fuel system question.
 
Ok sorry about the blah blah but now I still would like the question I asked before about the fuel set up I have a 420a engine i would like to get it up to about 300 hp with a turbo maybe more but thats where im shooting for even 250 i would be happy with
 
He said he want's to turbo it.

I don't know much about the fuel system on a n/t, basically though a 190l/ph fuel pump, some larger injectors, and some way to control the injectors. Search in the N/T forum, I'm sure you'll come up with something.
