so please if you have anything on what i want or what one out of the two i should get then any help is more then welcome thanks and again america rules LOL. the car will be shipped to america for all this as its cheaper
 
The oil cooler and radiator isn't really necessary. Most people stay with stock radiator unless they go big and if you really want an oil cooler there are much cheaper ones out there compare to Greddy.

As for the meth kit, are you planning on running a bigger turbo? Nonetheless you probably should condiser getting a manual boost controller. Electric ones aren't that reliable on high boost. And you do need something to tune your engine.
 
i just thought the radiator might look good as i want to make it into a semi show car and it will help it keep a bit cooler. im not really worried about prices on greddy and cheaper products aslong as its good and reliable im not fussed i stay with named brands as they have had testing and money spent on developments!
i might go for a big 16g but thats a big might just want to keep it from over detination and run at a bit more high boost then stock. so meth kit is for that reason only. and as for the boost control im not going big so would an auto controller work fine?
ill get something done to my ecu aswell or a full new ecu remap was looking on a standalone maganement or something along the lines of that?
 
about the oilcooler, just get the parts off a 90 dsm they have stock external oil coolers and that would be cheaper and as efficient. another mod i would recommend is a gm maf-t. i dont know if you can get a hold of one in europe but its well worth it. it will allow you to tune air and fuel maps. and of coures gives you more power. this mod is good for people looking to make an extra 20hp or 800hp.

intake manifold??? anyideas? SBR intake mani, I have seen 900 AWHP out of them

wheels/tires enkei fd05 with nitto invo 225/40/18 Volk TE37 Time Attack 16 inch

suspension-tein super street w/upper pillow ball + edfc or tein type flex + edfc? Nice, but BC or Megan Racing is cheaper and just as good

axles drive shafts and diff? should i upgrade them? do i need to? Drive Shaft Shop

strut bars and under braces all going to be tanabe if possible. Why even do them?

As for intercooler, I'd go with ETS and Thermal R&D exhaust but that's all ones choice. Polished intercooler won't help airflow.
There's no such thing as a 255hp fuel, it's a 255lph.
As for going to BC 272/272 cam, unless you get valve springs, retainers are of no use.
The is need to go that far as buy axles parts from Drive Shaft, he is likely staying with stock or 16g. Stock axles will work.

Greddy is too overpriced for oil cooler. DSMers rarely buy Greddy oil cooler and what you're shooting for, there is absolutely no intention for getting an oil cooler.

If you're only shooting for a little higher boost and not a lot higher there is no intention for the meth kit. You'd better off with a bigger turbo first than going to meth.
 
thanks alot for all your input money is not an issue as ild rather buy named brands and make sure its better then cheap copies. ild rather get it right the first time if i can!
an maf-t is this the unit that connects to the mas or replaces it?

thank you black 95 awd some of that helps but ill look into the parts you have surgested

well at the moment my oil temp is a little high and thought it would just help it? WHY dont dsmers buy greddy or is it just the oil cooler? do you all use greddy for anything?

but doesnt the meth kit help with the octane and better for the fuel and detonation
 
Well, you asked for input and I'm just give you straight input. The oil cooler WILL NOT help. You're just shooting for minor upgrades not high performance built DSMs.

If you get a MAF-T you you also need to get a GM MAF sensor.


MAF Translator Kit: Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99


And yes, meth will help but all I'm saying it's not worth it. Going to a 16g is more worth it. There is little to work with on a stock turbo. You'd be better off putting 100 octane fuel on a stock turbo than going to meth.
 
im not complaining mate im great###k for all your imput just want to do it while i do everything else so its out the way and done and just uncase i do turn it into a fast road car 1day

will that maft kit be all i need or is that to go on top of the other part i need? and will this all work on an auto
 
I started responding in depth to the OP, however it would be easier if you Pm me, i can give you my AIM sn and go over your choices in depth if you would like.
 
i dont get aim over here im in the u.k i got msn? that ok

It will work for an auto and that's all you need.

As for as oil cooler, I have no doubt on B&M, Perma-cool, Mishimoto, Prosport, etc... for a 1/3 of the price that Greddy cost.

As for which way to go for upgrades, check out the TECH for upgrades paths.
 
ive checked it out and it seems ok for what they say just gona take it a bit further. ill look at b&m and mitshimoto as i want there radiator anyway LOL
is says the mitsimoto radiator only works on a manuel is this true? and i can use it on an auto aswell just dont want to get it and its wrong LOL
