im hoping that people on here might help me with ideas to make my automatic eclipse go faster?

anyway i know its slow right now but its a project in the works

recent add ons
450cc injectors
small 16g turbo
2 gen exaust manifold
hacked maf
took out cat

still though seems a bit sluggish

[scheides]

Here's an idea: actually sign up for the dyno day, and respond to my PM!

More power will come from a FMIC, bigger turbo, intake, etc...do you have full turbo-back exhaust?

[BLaCk_1cE]

The semi truck being towed confused me at first

[Goat Blower]

That's really slow for what you've got on there. My first DSM was an auto car with a 14b with stock auto manifold, 3" catback, a boost controller, a K&N and the free mods. It ran a best of 14.5@93mph, so the same speed about six seconds quicker than yours. That was brake boosting off the line running about 16psi on pump gas, full weight of course. I'd go through the basics like base timing, good plugs and turn up the boost til she blows. The hacked maf might be hurting you if it isn't done right. That's not quite a necessary mod at this level. And you really need a good exhaust, that's probably the most important.

3" turboback, FMIC if needed/wanted right now.
Some kind of tuning software, i am not sure what a factory tune on a DSM is.
Hacked MAF, get rid of it, not needed. Just asking for drivability issues there.(rough idle, etc)

[hareboy1979]

is it possible to tune my car without getting a safc?
also i do have a fmic although i havent gotten it hooked up just yet i bought a stock intercooler from a conquest but i dont have the tubing or the know how to install that stuff.

im thinking i should probubly install new plugs and wires also since i havent done that since i bought the car and dont know when it was last done

[hareboy1979]

what do you mean by full turbo back exaust? right now i have the stock exaust minus the cat

[Hoffer00]

You do have a mbc right!

[turbotalon1g]

I mean that you have replaced the exhaust with complete 3" all the way from the O2 housing.
If not, do it, you will love it, i guarantee it.

[Goat Blower]

Don't bother with that IC, it's a waste of time. You can tune without a SAFC, but we'll just say the methods are old skool and probably hard to find these days. I'd actually pick up a VPC now that they are so cheap. That's still my favorite although DSMlink isn't much more now. Even easier would be a simple chipped ECU. I've still got an original TMO chip with all the goodies including stutterbox and theft that I'd sell for $50. You just need an eprom ecu that is socketed. That is the simplest way period.

[Goat Blower]

Yep, exhaust is most important, stock is really restrictive. Actually, this book should be your very first step. It answers all the questions you'll have for the next year or so.

[hareboy1979]

no i dont have a manual boost controler know anyone i can get one from fairly cheap?
also exaust sounds good too how much for somthing like that?

also its possible for me to obtain a big 16g evo would that be immediatly better than the small 16g i have now?

im new to the whole dsm stuff but i like my car allot would be nice if it could wave a stick at my brothers conquest

[Hoffer00]

evo III 16g is alot faster

[hareboy1979]

im more than willing to let people tinker with my car if anyone has ideas that are either free or relitivly cheap as i am a father of 2 kids and i pay lotza child support i dont get allot of money to put torwards my car

allot of the stuff thats been done jihaan_dude has done as well a friend of mine in apple valley who hopefully soon will fix the terrible paint job he did on my car

[hareboy1979]

my car is already 3 times what it was from the day i obtained it very nice driver now but as you can see i still have a long way to go befor its somthing id take out and really brag about
although it did be jihaan_dude's friends saturn last week but not by much lol

[Shane@DBPerformance]

A full exhaust should have been the very first mod, you usually do that before anything on a 1G.

That Conquest/Starion intercooler is a worthless pile.

You can get MBCs cheap, but you should get exhaust first, before creating a lot of backpressure with more boost.

A 14B can overrun the stock 1G MAS though.

Blaha it.

Yeah, i didn't realize people still used those.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I did until very recently on the 1G. Upgraded to a 2G MAS! A hacked 1G MAs probably tunes better than a MAFT.
