84308, Engine needs more power
Posted by BOOsterRS2203, Jan-04-05 10:53 AM
I am now the proud owner of a 98 eclipse Rs with about 40,000 miles on it. I want to build up the enigne so i can run at higher boost levels. I am going to have it ported and polished but, anbody know of anyone in the Los Angeles area? I'm also taking suggestions on what type of turbo to have installed. Anyone with suggestions on what to do, let me know. thanks

OKay, dOod.

Try searching all that info.

I don't like repeating myself same as a lot of people here.

Do you even KNOW what a port n polish is or what parts you actually port?

lol.

you sound like a Gran Turismo ricer. lol

EDIT: No shit it needs more power! :P

if your going to choose a turbo kit, go with STAR for drag racing, or HRC for autocrossing.

yes, its a better turbo IMO. i am a user of star kit and love it. although ever since hahn came out with the megaquirt and all that good stuff, sometimes, i wish i was a hahn user cuz their stuff they make and sell is better for tuning and what not, but i like star for the most part.
blizare, easy on the new guy, he probably doesnt even know what the search button is yet.

thats about the worst case of a cranial rectal inversion i have seen in a while....you need to stick to the Int/ext forum.

i dont mean to go off of subject but i was under the impression that the T3/T4 that comes with the STAR kit was bigger than the S16G that comes with the HAHN kit and therefore the HAHN turbo would spool faster but the STAR turbo has a bigger power potential...

If im wrong can someone please help me because thats what i really thought...
