Ellivlok23 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 So where are you. I am rather clueless when it comes to Car Parts. I am looking to put a few upgrades into my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS, It is a 4 cylinder 2.4L engine. I would like to find an Exhaust System, Cold Air Intake, and a Preformance Chip to get a little more power out of my car and make it a tad more fun to drive than it already is.

RetiredTacos Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Waste of money, you will not pick up any power. You would need a full header to catback system for exhaust to get ANY power, and it will be very little, maybe 15 wheel horsepower. Adding a muffler will do nothing. CAI will pick up 2-3 wheel horsepower maybe. There is no "performance chip" for cars unless its a diesel or a speed density car. A 2003 eclipse would be OBDII and would require a tune via the computer. So basically, don't waste your money, sorry. If it was turbo'd, there are a a lot of upgrades, but a N/A 4 banger will get no power from mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell it and buy a turbo car Nuttin is better than a turbo car, they are amazing, I have owned 6 turbo cars,2 Supra's, 300zx ,2 Eclipse's , and a Talon mods work way better with a turbo car. If you dont want to change cars, then save ur money like Terry said, u would be spending alot of money for "noise" basically....and u will not be happy with the result's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallwagner Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 turbo's are a lot less reliable than n/a cars for the most part though. if you want to waste your money on an unreliable, performance vehicle, go european. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true at all you pick up a little more than 2-3 hp, with a cai will get more like 10 maybe 11, all depends on the tuner sense you said you have your ecu chipped, Also how big is you go on your piping on the muffler 2'5 would be the best for your application.

RetiredTacos Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 do research son. So you know that diesel trucks are turbo, as well as semis and I'd say they're pretty fuckin reliable. You do research SON. Not true at all you pick up a little more than 2-3 hp, with a cai will get more like 10 maybe 11, all depends on the tuner sense you said you have your ecu chipped, Also how big is you go on your piping on the muffler 2'5 would be the best for your application. You're a mechanic, not a tuner. A cai WITH a tune would get 10whp, yes. And STFU with CHIPPED it's not a god damn bag of pringles. Show me some eclipse 3g dynos and I'll believe you. Waste of money.

This made me lol. Go read a book. Your not going to get that much power out of the N/a. You could do some suspension mods to give it better handling, but if your looking to get more power, it would be easier to do with a different platform.
