Hey everyone, my name's Kyle. I am 20 and a junior at NDSU. I transferred here after doing my freshman year at at Rigewater in Willmar, MN. I drive a 2000 eclipse gs. I wanted a gt, but it didn't really work out, and it's also a sportronic automatic which is even worse, but hey, I still like it. It's not fast and I don't claim it to be fast.
I've pretty much decided I'm keeping it untill I get out of college though, so I'm doing what I can with it. When I got it didn't have anything for performance parts and had wheels on it that looked like big chrome flowers, and had chrome altezzas. It now has a K%N short ram intake, CMF header, Magnaflow Exhaust, 17 inch black Motegi DP-12's, Black TYC tail lights, and blacked out corner lenses.
With just simple I/H/E the acceleration is still pathetic and depressing, so I'm currently collecting parts for a turbo set up that should be pretty nice. It's gonna be based off of a turbo and mani from and evo VIII, evo fpr, fuel rail, and WRX injectors. Should be a fun little project. Then I'm hoping to add a higher stall torque converter so it's not such a snail off the line.
Reading around on my 3g eclipse forums it seems that the I4 responds alot better to boost, so that's one good thing about having an I4 I guess......
I've been a member on eclipseforums.org now for about 2 years and kinda know how forums work and what is going to get you flamed, most of the time that is. I love cars and have been obsessed with them since I was probably 13 or 14. All cars, imports, domestics, exotics, I4, V6, V8, whatever. I can recognize hard work and a nice car. I'm really into performance, but haver never really owned a nice, fast car, the nicest cars I've driven have all been friends cars.
I kinda stubled about this site and thought it was a pretty cool place to find out what was going on in the area and meet and talk to other car guys around here.
Well, that was a nice little essay. Now for some pics of my car. It needs a couple things, a drop, tint, and a wings west lip kit are planned for the future...
Looks nice to me.....

Think I've seen this car on campus before, not sure though.

welcome...i have a evo8 turbo if you need one.I have a turbo, manifold, downpipe, and an evo IX fuel pump. If you have a spare fuel rail or fpr laying around though that would be helpful. I've been lookin around evolutionm.net, but people arn't too good for responding to their pm's.

nice car welcome to fs

Yup, it's a 4g64. SOHC motor. The exhaust mani stud pattern on the 4g64 SOHC head and the 4g63 head on the evo, and dsms are the same though. I could have used a DSM manifold too, but most likely would have had to eliminate the A/C. I will still probably have to bend an A/C line a bit, and use a spacer on the mani to get the compressor housing to clear the starter.

FINALLY ANOTHER 3G..... check mine out

Not on your V6 though:lol: . But yeah I'm gonna be running an evo 8 turbo, manifold, possibly downpipe, but it may have to be modified a bit, fuel rail, fpr, fuel pump, and injectors from a WRX. Also planning on doing a 5spd swap with a LSD, upgraded clutch, and flywheel. Then tuning it all with ecuflash by either swapping over to a 2001+ manual ecu and flashing the evo rom onto it, or switching to an evo ecu. We'll see when it all actually gets done. I really wanna run it at the dragstrip next may, I havn't taken it out there for fear that after getting my timeslip I would have to kick my own ass.
