Sick car dude. I’m an old man, had a gsx brand new in 99 when I joined the army. Loved that car. Had it at 340 whp by 2004 (which was impressive for the time!)

[@jdxnc04]

To go along with #2, IF someone has a GST/GSX, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock manifold for modest power goals, they're FAR better than cheap tubular manifolds. Cheap manifolds don't flow well, the welds crack, the pipe itself cracks and to top if off, they dump TONS of heat in the bay, melting fans, discoloring valve covers, melting dip stick handles and even discoloring the hood on some. If you're on a stock frame turbo, stick to cast. The FP cast manifold is a good upgrade for larger stock frame turbos, such as the FP Green/Red/Black...however with a smaller turbo such as the 14b/16g/20g, it will actually make the turbo spool slightly slower. Used to be an old saying "cast ain't fast", well my car is on a cast manifold and is nearing the 9 second range. Just things for new owners to keep in mind.

[@vinsmoke2865]

Thank you for the advice.

[@alexsalazar5161]

Wasting money on an tune with no actual power mods do an intake manifold swap and throttle body headers injectors and etc don’t just make it fart and shit give it power

[@chrislovell1438]

​@@ThatblackEclipse I got to jump in on this one. I don't know if you know this but on older cars you need to do tune-ups whether you have power mods or not. That's probably why half of these dsms are s*** because people fail to keep them up. I'm on my third one and that's literally one of the first things I do

There is a VFAQ which has been established since the 1990s. Do the cheapest mods first: 1. Manual Boost controller 2. Open Air Filter like K&N 3. Down Pipe with No Catalyst Convertor 4. Replace Stock Muffler with Straight through type 5. Boost Monitor Gauge My dad owns the same the same 2g GSX since 1999!

My suggestion kind of goes along with maintenance but look for as many parts as you can OEM so you can replace as much as possible before you start upgrading

Totally agree, my eclipse is mostly stock but I've done all the 5 mods and it just looks gorgeous (at least to me) One more mod I would suggest is make a button for the electric antenna so it doesn't extend every time you start the car (or just unplug it if you want)

2022 the interest is still alive. Definitely want a 2g, and I want to get the GSX for AWD. I don't want to lower it too much because I feel getting too low could hurt racing performance and possible evasion maneuvers. Plus I just don't want to deal with all the scraping, there's just too many bumps and dips, ain't nobody got time for that. I'm thinking like a really fast street spec rally racer type build if that makes sense.

[@efrainsalasjr.6583]

I don't consider maintenance as mods, sorry. That's got to be done. My first real mods were 1) 3" exhaust w a Flowmaster muffler 2) intake w K&N filter 3) 16g Chinese eBay turbo w a manual boost controller 4) HKS Super sequential bov and 5) front mounted intercooler. That's what I did. With some tunning and a few other little tidbits I got 308hp out of my 6 bolt.
