I know a lot of you guys will say its worthless upgrading a GS model but i dont really have the moeny to doa turbo switch. Anyways i was wonderin what upgrades i could do to my engine to give it some more get-up n go. I know the basic things like gettina header, exhaust, n i already got my intake but what other things could i do that arnt real expensive. Engine wise the car is stock cept for my intake.(95 GS Eclipse). The other ting i want is accel n not top speed. I dont need to go fast but i need to go faster then what i am lol. Leave advice thanks

lol spray it 50 shot would be ok to run on bottom end...other then header,intake, high flow cat, cat-back,and maybe a chip and/or SFAC there arn't too many more routes to take for a N/T

Im just joking with you dude. I don't think you spray the car at all with a stock motor. If you do, keep it at a 50 shot.

ive checked into it already n a 50 shot dry kit is fine to use w/ a stock engine. I dont wanna keep it all stock cuz i wanna do more work to it then the header-exhaust. I already know ill be gettin new cams n maybe bore out the motor(was my dads idea). But do u got AIM so i can ask u a few questions on there instead of posting or should i just PM you?

1) use the search button up top
2) search google
3) if you still haven't found the answers, ask on the public forum. This way, the next person who has the same question can follow the same steps and find the answer without asking.

A dry shot wont do shit but waste your money,If you have your heart set on spraying go with a WET shot.My best advice to you is to stop right now,the 420 motor is a nightmare! Save your money and buy a turbo car if you want to go fast. If you go and buy nitros,cams,exhaust,header,ect,ect for this car, you would have spent the same amount you could buy a first gen turbo car for. You can do what you want this is just my oppinion. I had a turbo 420, It was a constent headacke and I ended up selling it and bought a first gen that is faster stock than my 420T ever was. But like I said this is just my oppinion you can do what ever you want. Good Luck. :D
