doing it smart

[young97 gst]

I have a mitsubishi eclipse gst, 97 model. and was wondering is there any aftermarket mods you can do which dont require the car being took to a dyno and tuned. i just bought the car so i dont have a lot more money to play with. ive noticed getting a car tuned is outrageous.

Check out the Stage 0 mods. All things that can be done for free or nearly free to get more power out of your DSM.

Do all your Pm's first off. Then look into prothane motor mounts and better suspension. Once you get the car to handle stock power then look into some tuning, fuel upgrades, turbo.

I've never been to a dyno. It's nice to tweak but not necessary. You can street tune if you have the right stuff.

After ALL maintenance has been done the first mods I'd suggest is gauges. A wideband (Innovate LC-1), oil pressure, coolant temp, proper boost gauge. Then DSMlink. Light version is ok. The a $10 boost controller and start learning how to tune. A fuel pump rewire is also cheap and will be need to flow more fuel.
