I have a 99 GS Eclipse 10th anniversary edition and i The only mod right now is a 2" exhaust and a headunit. I am looking to get spyder auto header, the projector headlights (clear and blue) altezza tailights, B&M Short shifter, and the spyder auto CAI. I am just looking to get some small mods to add some power and make it look a little better. i already have to repaint the whole car cause someone keyed it real bad on the passenger side and there was some curb damage on the bumpers (no dents just traded paint). I would appreciate knowing any down falls for these mods and or companies. My friend had a 98 GS Spyder and used spyder auto with no problem but he could have just gotten lucky.

Serach. This has been answered a million and a hlf times, also you are in the wrong section. At the top of this forum there is a link to the 420a section. that is where you need to be. lol I am sure a mod will move it for you tho. But, in the 420a section there is a pinned topic on this.

2" exhaust is smaller than OEM. the spyder has a different engine than your's, I don't see how the header would fit. I also doubt the spyder came from the factory with a CAI and even if it did there would be a MAF sensor in there somewhere that you don't need/have.


dont' know what you are trying to say here

Spyder Auto was the company and i was just curiosu if anyone used them and what problems they had. and im not 100% sure about the exhaust size. i just kno its not OEM

Spyder auto specializes in exterior lighting, but has a couple "performance" (And I use this word VERY loosley) items.

ok! is there a specific company that i should lookin into?

For performnce mods for an NT 420a, there really isn't lot you can do to get some serious power, other than to go turbo.
For NT stuff, you are going to be looking at a CAI like you have mentioned, intake manifold, exhaust header, and exhaust system.
For your application, pipe is pipe ( I think I just paid EMC3KGT a royalty for that). Get a cheap pipe off ebay, and toss on a K&N filter.
A good intake and header will cost a bit, and I really wouldn't recommend it. IMO, it would be a waste of money.
For an exhaust system, a regular Magnaflow Street system would work just fine for your purposes.

If you do decide to go the N/A route and you are still hungry for power, bore the block .020 over and grab som 10-11:1 pistons.

But you're not really going to feel much more than "a noticable difference" unless you go turbo.

I told another member this already and just so i can get more input on how i should go aroudn this and get more opinion. My goal for the car is not to be fast and the furious (already been asked if i was painting it lime green by my old VW buddies). I just want to add some basic mods and make it sound better and give it just a bit more power. Im not lookin to push mass amounts of hp non turbo cause i kno that means rebuilding the whole engine and spendin a lot of time on the little details just to add like a little power.

The custom piping doesn't sound like to bad of an idea. plus it would give me somethin to do for a couple days :banana:

and I was offered a turbo last night for 800 dollars from my buddy. didn't see it yet but he syas that its a big turbo and i can get it hooked up to my car real easy. Never really had a turbo on any of my cars and not quite sure about all the extra little pieces i would need to hook it up. I kno i would need an intercooler and the turbo hooks to that right?

and boring it out sounds like a good idea. I wanted to bore my 2.8l vr6 out b4 but never had the time

Ok first off, if you want to go turbo, you will need WAY more than the intercooler and the turbo. There are many other things you need, like the manifold, Air/Fuel controller, etc.. Also, You can just throw on ANY turbo. You need the required supporting mods to run certain turbos. Without an upgraded fuel sysetm and other things, you will not be able to run a turbo larger than a peanut. Odds are if the turbo your friend is selling you is "big" then you will probably be looking at a few grand to get it set up.

Also, if you plan to bore it out, you will need to get oversized pistons as well.

alright. ill see what else is comin with the turbo so i kno where i stand and get the brand and stuff for the turbo to see what i need.
