Upgrades.. Help Plzz Options

[Beizzi]

K names Brett and i own a 2003 eclipse rs. only mod to engine is AEM V2 CAI. I actually plan on a turbo later on but since i dont kno too much bout cars i was wondering if there were some things i could do to make her faster before i put one in. i was trying to look up some exhaust like an EVO2 or Greddy but i could only find them for a v6. so any suggestions. thnx

speaking from experience, do not turbo your car. If you want a turbo car, buy one. It is 100% cheaper and more reliable in the long run. The only real options for upgrades to this car is, your intake, an exhaust, and some NGK spark plugs and magna core wires or a brand like that. and switching to synthetic oil. these are all relativly cheap and easy upgrades. You could always do a camshaft and some valve train components, but if you lack the experience to to it yourself, I dont recomend it.

I have an HKS axle back that I did custom mid piping with. there are several systems for the 4 cyl.

alright thanx. ill do some research and get some prices on those. and ill also read up on some exhaust. besides the hks what would be some others? im not really lookin for a loud ricer either. i kinda want a deep tone to it. also can u straight pipe or would that not really do much?

where are you from? straight pipe is illegal and can get you in trouble, not to mention it wont pass emissions. If you want deep tone, go with a Greddy or something. The HKS is deep, but expensive just for the rear section.

How is switching to synthetic Oil an upgrade? And how the heck does it make a car faster? Lol

do some research on royal purple or mobile1 and you find that the tighter compaced molecules alow moving parts to move free-er with less resistance. the crank does not have to try as hard when the oil in the pan is getting slapped all over the inside of the engine. (this makes less risistance) thus more hp, its only I tiny bit, but its there. I would recomend synthetic just for the life of the engine, not power or anything.
