i just wanted to know afew things bout adding hp to a 99 eclipse gs like how much hp can u stack on it with out turbo or nitrus and wuts the difrence between the rs and gs since they both got 140 hp and bout the same weight. im new to dsm but ive wanted an eclipse ecer since the 2g came out i didnt knoe much bout em when i bought mine but if i had done my research i prob would have bought a gsx but i love my nt specialy when i smoke em v6 mustangs so n e help would be great thanx
look through the links on the main page, ie......the mods section and the power stages. to my knowledge, the differences between the rs and gs are sideskirts, wheels, power options, leather option, sunroof option and oz rally edition option.
a) please stop typing in run-on sentences. spelling isnt really important, but grammatical correctness plays a major part in the responses you will get (hell, i cant spell worth a damn, lol).
b) as stated above, the GS is just a more "luxiourious" version of the RS. there is no difference in the engine/drivetrain.
c) with bolt-ons, you can expect a 15ish HP gain with the most popular ones (underdrive pully, CAI, and exhaust). the biggest difference will be in throttle response. you will most definatly notice it in the "butt-dyno".
I think about the most you can get out of the 420a without increasing the displacement or using power adders is ~210hp at the crank. We'll see in a few months anyway...
