1999 Eclipse Modifications

Hi, i just got a silver 1999 Eclipse GSX, i just want to know what upgrades i can get to make the car a monster! My budget is 7,000 dollars. Thanks for your help.

holy shit...7 grand! where to start, where to start! get injectors, fuel pump, new BOV, FMIC, upper and lower IC pipes, MBC - such as AVC-R and you might want to get a S-AFC...there fun to play with, i would suggest DSMlink...cause with that much money for upgrades you will need to tune it and probably keep track of your datalog (you will need a laptop or a Palm Pilot<cheaper to connect to it). turbo back exhaust, new turbo - i would go towards the 20g or maybe if you want crazy boost the T66 is a nuts turbo (its bigger than some peoples heads!!) but that has a lot of lag, so if you have a good fuel system you could do a 75 shot of nitrous to help the spool up so you can loose the turbo lag, i just got 75 shot ZEX wet kit to help with mine just put it in today and i works great!!! well i know there is a lot more you can do for that kind of money but it is all i can come up with right off the top of my head that i have... i'm sure GSXRacer will be along to add to the list or tell you something different, hope that helps!!!

Afrokid- What part of PA are you in? Have you looked at dsmtuners.com, dsmtalk.com, vfaq.com? Theyll get ya started. I am right outside philly and part of phillydsm. If you are in the area, I build DSM's and I can help you out anyway I can.

i live in Allentown [about an 1 to 1 and a half drive to philly] .... thanks for the advice

Thats about 6100 bucks, and more than enough for 11s. I didnt include little things like boost guage, etc. And there is no labor incuded. ;) But this is all of the big stuff right up to built block and built tranny. This will basically max out the 7 bolt block. The next level is a 6 bolt or built 6 bolt block, and larger turbo.

BTW, this is basically a copy of Joe G's mod list on our site, www.posracing.net. That car went 12.0 at 116 with me driving, on a small 16g turbo. If you look at Chads mod list, he dynoed 500 whp. These are typical upgrade paths and results, so use them as a guide. Good luck. :)

thanks alot
