Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Hey all,
I'm picking the following car up tomorrow evening: 1998 Mitubishi Eclipse GSX Engine: DSMlink version 3 2.4L (Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons, 8.8:1) 1G head (ported, polished and gasket matched) Forced Performance FP HTA GT3582R Forced Performance dual valve springs Forced Performance FP3X cams with adjustable cam gears Tial 44mm external wastegate SFP exhaust manifold Polyeutrethane engine mounts ARP head studs Felpro headgasket Magnus intake manifold RRE 3" downpipe Apexi 3" catback Setrab oil cooler Apexi Skyline FMIC Fuel: E85 Walbro 255LPH in-tank Bosch 044 in-line -8AN feed and return Aeromotive FPR Aeromotive stainless fuel filter FIC fuel rails FIC 1250CC injectors Drivetrain: Shep Stage 4 transmission Shep 4 spider differential Limited slip rear end PPT twin disk with Isuzu slave Suspension: Tein Flex with EDFC RM front sway bar RRE custom rear sway bar Suspension Techniques bushings 13" Baer Claw brakes Stainless steel brake lines Rear strut tower brace 17" Motegi Tracklite (flat black) Goodyear Eagle F1 225/45/17 We have it idling, but that's about it right now. The car has been sitting and the ECU used for another car since then, so no tune currently exists for the car. I'm wondering where you would go to have it tuned down in the cities. Everyone has their opinions but I'd like to hear yours. I know the basics of tuning (I am proficient with HPTuners) but I don't feel like learning on this car. |

And I'd like this to happen ASAP, of course (this weekend?) :beer:

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
DB in Rogers is the main place where most of us go, MAP is also another possibility. Nice shop, I just haven't used them personally.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Swing by DB Performance. Shane will hook you up for sure. Other shops would be Modern Performance and RS Motors.
Get tuned ASAP! |
Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Wow! I wanna see some pics. I know you have a super nice FC,and thats sounds like one hell of a DSM! Bring it to Shane at DB.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Are you picking up that silver one up there?
That is a badass fucking car. Also hi again, you must really like me. |
Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Make an appointment, there's usually a wait.
|
Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
They say the 23rd is the soonest I can get in. I don't think that will work, unfortunately but I'm guessing it's the same everywhere else because of the time of year...
Anyway, yeah I am buying "GSXTacy". I'm going to daily drive it. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...03061854_n.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...83115256_n.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...87229032_n.jpg |

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
It'll be worth the wait for Shane! Why do you think there is such a line? ;)
Also, where'd you find the car and what'd you pick it up for? Seems like an awesome car |

Bryan owned the car for 12 years since 2000. It's only seen 1 winter. |
Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Where'd he get it tuned? Maybe the previous tuner still has the tune for it? He doesn't have any old logs or posted logs anywhere?
I bet if you went with Shane he'd give you a solid base tune to drive around on. Then you could get a tank or two of new gas through it and not have to worry about any old gas still being in the tank. Perfect setup though. You don't need to touch a thing besides getting it tuned! You're a lucky sob. haha |
Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
I was just going to ask Bryan if he'd sold that car yet. I built the engine for it years ago, it's identical to the one in my car. He's got a TON of money in that car and he has always been extremely meticulous in it's care, nothing but the best. You will be very happy with it, I'd thought about buying it more than once, it's a very fast car.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Poor rear tires!
I know Bryan too, you will love that car. They both look great. |

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...
Holy crap, I need a ride in that thing. I've been seriously contemplating an LSx swap into my DSM for some time.
