Hi everybody, I am new to this website. I was referred to this site by a friend. I just got a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse. 420A engine. Non turbo. 89,000 miles on it. It runs like a champ. I was woundering if anybody could tell me some performance parts I could put on it. Thanks.

Nothing... save your money for a GSX.

It depends on your goals really. If your planning on making some decent power I'd go with a turbo version as suggested by Phil. If your pretty content with building the n/a you should start with the basics like intake, exhaust, and maybe eventually moving to a turbo conversion( again depending on your goals). -Edwin

Welcome, I too was in your shoes one day, and the 420a platform is much harder to make "fast".. people have done it, but for the money an AWD Turbo car is the way to go. I had a 95 420a that I did a few small things to, but it was never fast.. when I picked up my basically stock 98 talon, it was already lightyears faster. If that non-turbo is nice and runs good, leave it alone and enjoy driving a nice car. Or check that link Paul provided.

no glass pack. a quality exhaust no larger than 2.5" piping that has a resonator as well as a muffler would be ideal. your choice as far as brand and style.
being a 2gb, just keep it clean and reliable.

i had a very fast 420a. no longer own it. built engine 26 psi, very fast.
i would say save up and get a gsx, high HP fwd = sucks. first, second and most of third gear are useless if you ever want traction.
