lookin to get a tuner

[rmeyer114]

well im lookin to get a tuner for under 2 grand as a project my license will be suspended for a year do to my second 27 over speeding ticket so im lookin to get me a project tuner ...any suggestions....im also new to import atlanta

[SLOWR/T]

LOL.....

[Elbow]

good luck with your project tuner

[rmeyer114]

any suggestions? not looking to get ANY kind of honda though i think hondas are crap

[Echonova]

240 is your best bet.

Which "Team" are you looking to join once your car is done? Your location would help decide, most "Teams" fight for turf and you don't wanna be in the wrong place.

[Elbow]

^Yeah really.

Hondas can be made fastest least amount of money, lots of 12 second cars on this side of town, some 9 second Civics as well. But 240 guys from ConV1ctRacing are moving in on some of the Honda guys in Athens.

[rmeyer114]

team? ....shit i reside in snellville

ive been lookin at 240s but ive also been lookin at eclipses i used to have a 97 gs-t and i loved it but i cant afford a gs-t as of now

[Elbow]

Snellville has some tough spots dude, be careful. I think that's where TrippleXXXSquad is? They run mostly EVO/STI's though. But they are some mean dudes.

[MINI]

guys...

anyway..

good luck and just keep your eyes open for a car with many options for parts.

[Echonova]

I have a 240 and rep the Sexypants crew. But most of the Athens folk (like Simon) have learned not to mess with me.

:headslap:

[rmeyer114]

hm well thats alot of help lol

Probably the cleanest 240 you will ever find, @ 2,800 it's a bit over your starting price but it is OBO.

Plus it will save you soooo much money in the long run

[Elbow]

Sexypants is dangerous I don't even talk to Echo on here, I might type his name, but never TOWARDS him. He fucked my mom.

[rmeyer114]

i like the s13s but im not a fan of the coupes i was over at sonic off riverside last thursday and saw a sick ass one but still rather have the hatchback or an s14

[Echonova]

You could try 240atlanta.com if you wanted a hatch or another idea, you could pick up a 1st Gen DSM, just make sure it's a 6 bolt.

[rmeyer114]

talkin bout the 90-94 eclipses right ?

and i dont like have anything against the coupes just not a big fan of them but if your the owner of a metallic green one then i worship u lol

Hover your mouse pointer over the rep bar and it says different things depending on rep level

[Echonova]

[Echonova]

RS stands for Really Slow.

[rmeyer114]

haha oh im well aware of how slow they are i knew some1 that had one in an automatic but 5spd would be a little better and i could just slap on a turbo from a gs-t right ?

[ed_gm90]

wait you want a tuner? like someone to tune your car?

oh and be careful where you drive when you get your car, i got jumped
for driving my tC in a Nissan area. Ive learned my lesson.

[rmeyer114]

[ed_gm90]

[Echonova]

and i could just slap on a turbo from a gs-t right ?Don't think it's that easy, but I'm not a DSM guy so I'm not sure.

[rmeyer114]

yeah ive done just about all the homework i need for a 240 so i think im gonna end up gettin one but the thing with those is man they come so beat up

It will be in your 1g dsm's... 90-94, a lot less chance of them crank walking. :goodjob:

Regarding your question earlier about swapping the turbos. The flange on a GST is a T25 I believe, and I think that the one for a 240 is different, so you would have to get an adapter/put new flange on to make the turbo work... There are so many options to use on a 240, so I wouldn't go through the trouble to put on a stock GST turbo on it. Just my :2cents:

well i was talking about putting a stock gst turbo on a rs or gs eclipse i used to have a 97 gst spyder but i totalled it 2 years ago and havent had the money to get into another one so i was wondering if i could put one on a stock 95-99 gs or rrs

just for more info on this...



Most people who research this topic come to the conclusion that it is cheaper to sell the NT and purchase a turbocharged DSM, rather than attempt to convert the NT to turbocharged form. Read all about it here (http://www.dsm.org/archives/98/02/980204.txt/27.html) and here (http://www.dsm.org/archives/98/02/980205.txt/17.html). It has been pointed out that the difference between a turbo FWD and a non-turbo FWD 1G DSM was roughly $1000 in 1998 - suffice it to say that the conversion will be significantly more than that, regardless of the method chosen.

Weapon*R (http://www.weapon-r.com/) has a bolt-on turbo kit for NT 2G DSMs. The cost was $4500 last time anybody bothered to price it. At one time, Extreme Motorsports (http://www.extrememotorsports.com/) offered a similar kit that ran for only $3500, and included a 14B turbo, BOV, fuel pump, sidemount intercooler, exhaust manifold, downpipe, MBC and boost gauge in one bolt-on kit. More recently, Hahn Racecraft (http://www.turbosystem.com/Hahn_Automotive/hahn_automotive.html) has taken up the challenge with their bolt-on 2G kits (http://www.turbosystem.com/Hahn_Automotive/Eclipse_Talon/eclipse_talon.html) costing between $2500 and $3500. Note that these kits will not make your NT into a factory-turbo DSM; since the compression ratios are still different, the boost ranges are greatly restricted compared to OEM turbo engines.

Some people have had better luck converting 1.8L DSMs to 2.0L (non-turbo) engines. Apparantly these engines are rather similar, and since there are no turbo/non-turbo issues the conversion is fairly easy - 'fairly' being of course a very subjective term. At the very least, the head and camshafts will need to be changed from SOHC to DOHC.

Note that the above details only change a non-turbo to a non-turbo. A 1.8L to turbo conversion is likely to be at least as difficult as a 2.0 NT to turbo conversion, if not more so, since most of the above changes would have to be made prior to starting the turbo conversion.

Some owners might think that performing an engine "swap" rather than a "conversion" would make things easier. This is not so. The engine control units (ECUs) for the NT and T engines are different, as are the engine/ECU wiring harnesses. Therefore, to properly swap in a turbo engine into a non-turbo chassis, the ECU and wiring harness must be replaced with the turbo versions.

Additionally, an engine swap by itself is no trivial task, especially if the replacement engine requires work prior to installation. The FWD and AWD flywheels are different, and there may be other differences that prevent a turbo motor from matching up to a non-turbo chassis or driveline. While it is theoretically possible, most people would not find it worth the effort.

Owners of 'converted' non-turbos may find the insurance to be less than a factory turbo car. This is not a guarantee, however, especially if the insurance company learns about the conversion. Those seriously interested in this conversion will find the article "Do It Yourself Turbocharging" (http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=101) from Overboost.com (http://www.overboost.com/) to be an interesting read.

With a 27 over and the loss of ur license u need somethin slow till u turn 21. I recommend a Geo METRO.

lol get a 240 or a civic. or save like a mofo until u get ur license back and go get something nice

I could be wrong on the years, but I'm pretty sure 6 bolts only came in 90-91.


If you got your head out of your ass, I'm bout to buy a 94 Civic EX that needs a headgasket... REALLY nice, probably want like $1500 for it.

But yeah, my pussy ass honda is slow and has a fart can. 13.5 in the 1/4 mile is weak for a naturally aspirated 1.8 liter :rolleyes:

You're right... I believe it was the 90-91, guess I was just going with 1g for some reason.
