i got a question.. now my '97 eclipse gsx is in storage due to the tranny breakage so i'm driving my stock '98 i30 w/69k miles and it's kinda slowww.. well i was thinkin of doin some work to make it quick(not fast) low 14s to high 13s is about the right number.. whats a quick and inexpensive way to get there,thanx?? (85 shot maybe?)

 

5spd or auto?

5spd 85shot is not going to get you there without slicks
auto-85 shot is not going to get you there without slicks.

need slicks i guess i should say.

with 60 shot and some mods like i got ypipe, fullexhaust, intake, and a 5spd and good driving you can hit high 13s.

 

i got an auto.. so what do u think i'll need to hit 13s with it? thanx

 

100 shot prolly, with some slicks, stock its most likely running high 15s so...

 

isnt 100 shot gonna kill the car or what do i need to upgrade for it to last?.

 

it won't kill your car... just use it correctly and stuff... the VQ motor is a really strong motor... some of the maxima people are running 150 shots i think.. iono

 

what do i need to upgrade to run 100 shot safe?

 

Have you done basic NA mods such as intake, y-pipe, exhaust? I would do those before you spray.
To spray a 100 shot the parts that need upgraded depend on what kit you get. For sure you will need a fuel pump, new plugs (colder), tranny upgrade (either vb mod or drop resistor mod and a tranny cooler). Personally, I would upgrade suspension also but thats just me.

 

where can i buy the y-pipe and other upgrade parts for a good price? (which site, catalog or store?) thanx..

 

y pipe has a lot of different makers

Are any of you 5sp owners running a tranny cooler?! Im gonna be spraying a 50shot soon and curious if any of you are running one and how big?
