5795, Help with some mods.!
Posted by Twobuf4u, Oct-30-01 07:20 AM
Hey I need some help with a list of stuff to do to my car. I already got an AEM Cold Ait Intake. I've got a 5spd. '96 Eclipse RS. I was thinking about headers next, but i wasnt sure. I dont think i want a UDP i heard they squeak like a b*tch. But if anybody can give me a list of ideas of stuff to do then that would be cool. So thanks for ya time! Later

here's what ya do, sell the intake, buy a stage 5 turbo, it comes with all the internals except maybe the bearings, buy some bearings, install that, along with a new exhaust system, and then turn the boost up, your ass will be fucking flying :)

Don't bother with the headers if you plan to turbo in the future. You'll have to take them off.

Honestly, the pulley is great. Tighten the belts and they won't squeek.

Plugs (get the NGK brand BKR5E-11's, one range hotter than stock)) and better plug wires help, too.

Thought about an exhaust?

Just spend $1900 and get a stage 1. Yeah of course like above, stage 5 would be amazing, but assuming you on a limited budget and everything, a stage 1 would give you what an intake, headers, udp, and exhaust would give you..... probably even more for the same price.

yea like everybody is saying. save up for turbo. look around though you dont have to get one brand spankin new. there are a lot for sale used that are in good shape. its more wurth your money to go turbo. even stage 1 would get you hella faster then intake headers exhaust. when i first started out i askede this same question and every body said go tuerbo. im like is it that big of a deal. and it is. at first i was like whatever ill just go with i/h/e but as i started learning more i realized that turbo is great. so take my advice and save up for turbo. lates

I had thought about going turbo, but i was wondering about having to make other Mods. just to go turbo. Is there anything else that I can get that will work even if I do decide to go turbo??

1st) no way a header, intake, exhaust, and pulley give you as much power as a stage 1 turbo. You end up spending the same amount for them as you would a stage 1. I have all these bolt ons and if this the power I will experience I will be very disapointed in my stage 1 kit.

2nd) Really the only thing you can get is an exhaust, plug wires, and UDP. Everything else will have to be tossed if you go turbo.

I would start out with these three things including one range hotter plugs like Dino said, and then decide what you want to do for the long run.

Nitrous: Go ahead and get the header and one range colder plugs
Turbo: Screw the bolt-ons and just start saving.

a gude 4 into 1 header will work as well a gude cams. they start at2000 and pull to 8000 very hard if you are going to do turbo do your internals first ( crank, rods, s.8 or 8.5 to 1 comp.pistons) because 9.6 to1 stock pistons will melt with a high boost setting. if that is what your shooting for.
