What should i upgrade first on my 2005 ralliart?

 

CAI thats vote

 

Rather than giving my opinion, I'm going to ask what is it you want out of your car, because thats what it comes down to in the end. If you don't mod the car to your liking and mod it based on other peoples opinions, then its not your car, its a hundred different peoples car.

 

Hmm, Well to be honest i want something that will give me a decently big HP gain, But if i went with the CAI would the Ralliart exhaust be good enough? or would i have to get a new exhaust too?

 

boost

 

Sorry i dont mean to hijack the thread but i also have 05 ra that is stock i was wondering if this http://www.andysautosport.com/mitsub...i00148056.html will fit my car i need to know asap so i can order it

 

That's for a different motor if I'm correct. Those 2.4 eclipses had 4g64 motors. Checks the classified section, there are used CAI for sale there.

 

thanks for letting me know that cai wont fit i checked the ralliart classifieds there are no cais fs

 

Well I'm not sure what you consider "decently big", but when I hear big gains I think of turbo, but that is one helluva big gain and may not be what you are looking for. If you are looking to keep your car NA, the most power you could fish out from bolt-ons would be about 170-180whp. For an NA car I think thats pretty "decent". You could take that higher with things like high compression pistons and aggressive camshafts and net just slightly over 200, but thats gonna take a lot of money and in the end wont be as big of a gain as a turbo could supply. In the end you are not going to experience any "big" gains with any one NA mod. With turbo you are looking at well over 200whp and the ability to go even further than that.

 

Sticky tires.

 

Well like everyone says, turbo is the biggest hp gain. But if you want n/a i'd vote intake, then exhaust, timing box, pretty much everything roadrace motorsports has to offer haha. Great stuff. I have all their bolt ons and their piggyback. Made the car so much more fun. Next up for me is most likely cam. Have fun and enjoy your ralliart!

 

The under drive pulley from RRM is the best bang for your dollar.

 

Nice. I was always wondering how a car modded like yours ran. Hows it feel? How much power?

 

Thanks for your input

 

runs awesome. I couldn't tell you the exact number for power as I have yet to dyno it. But with all my mods it's a completly different car. It feels awesome. I'm sure nthing compared to turbo but it pulls very nice. And when mivec kicks on now wih the piggy and ported IM it feels sweeeeet
