Hey, i just got a Eclipse GT 2001, and i was wondering what you guys suggest i do to it for best performance and lowest price, whats the best place to start with modding and what parts do you prefer for that replacement....

Thanks everyone..
I appreciate all feedback

SWEETCHEEKES!!!!

 

trade it in and get a 99 gst or gsx..much better... just kidding.. good luck with the car man..id go with a intake on it first or just save for the good stuff first..like a turbo.. anyway.. whats the specs on it auto or 5spd?

 

Pics or ban.

And best performance at the cheapest price with that car, probably exhaust/intake and nitrous. Just don't blow yourself up.

 

Id agree with these guys probably the Intake exhaust nitrous thing would be the biggest bang for your buck on an 3rd gen.

 

+ah yup. Get a ZEX dry kit and run a 55 or 65 or whatever they have in that region. Zex kits are pretty much foolproof. Intake, header, exhaust. Try to avoid the big single-tip canister muffler, go for something with two smaller understated tips. No practical reason for that, just because I don't like canister mufflers. Run a high flow cat, test pipe isn't worth the environmental damage on an NA car. Whatever header people on a 3rd gen eclipse board suggest. Pretty much any intake.

 

Its a 5speed manual, and i dont have any pics of it on my camera yet to post but, i was thinking of the AEM Cold Air Intake, and a Greddy Evolution 2 Catback exhuast to start out is that a good start? Not sure if Nitrous is something i wanna do because i was hoping for a turbo in the next year and that means saving money and id rather scrath Nitrous to save for the turbo. whats your thoughts? stock specs are 205hp and 210torque v6 24valve

Thanks for feedback

 

Also what kind of gains HP wise or just all around do you think i would gain from the exhasut and intake. The price for both came out to about $720 was looking at purchasing soon...


Any feedback is great

Thanks

Maybe ~10-15 hp? Depends on how restrictive the stock stuff is. It would probably be better to find this stuff on a 3rd gen specific board, we're all 1g and 2g owners and don't know much about 3g stuff. Also, if it's the v6, you could up that nitrous shot a bit from 55.

 

i would think at least 15 ... the gts is just a different exhaust and they gaind 10 hp from that i would think you would get alot more from a cat back exhaust

 

The exhaust is the same, the intake system is different. Go here http://www.eclipseforums.org/
