210hp intake

[CODITHsaves]

the newer eclipses, the GTS with the variable intake on it that makes 210hp, does that have a noticably wider power band also or not such a big deal

IDK, but I still think that the 2000 Fed. Spec GT is the best 3G.

Fed. Spec - whats that now?

[Boogy886]

federal specifications...conforms to federal specifications on smog as opposed to california specs which are more constricting and produce less power...

see "comprehensive guide to modifying your 3g"

not a real big difference b/t GT and GTS

differences are listed in the above thread too (some of them)

basically, higher compression, and a more even intake manifold... nothing an intake can't remedy, and usually the GT's are better off in the end anyways

uhem, read the stickied posts at the top of the page...

the intake doesn't make 210hp.

the extra 10hp comes from the intake manifold and the 10:1 CR pistons.

the part i was trying to focus on was the power band. The whole point of a variable intake is to widen the power curve and i wanted to know if any who have driven both the normal intake and variable intake notice the difference in that respect

for a near stock car, you will not feel much of a difference. now, if you were boosted, then that would be a difference story.
