#84308, "Engine needs more power"


          

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.

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?

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.

aww man, you really are dim-witted aren't you. you trying to talk tuning is like Dino trying to talk all warm-n-fuzzy!

YOU of all people on this board have not EARNED the right to talk about using the search button! you ain't even close to being there yet!

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

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...
