i went to an actual "import" shop first and they were going to charge me $140. Most shops that know about puttinng these on will prolly try to charge a lot. But I lucked out and found a place that charged me $35. But he also said he screwed himself over on the price cause it was more of a PITA then he thought it would be.

 

who(as in what kinda shop) ended up doing the install for ya?

 

FIST Racing in Houston. They specialize in Turbo AWD DSMs. They had a yard packed full of eclipses and talons. But they usually don't do work on NA cars. I don't think theyd do it again.

 

Yeah, theirs a place like that around here that just opened up. They specialize in Eclipses/Talons & 240sx. I just havent gotten the ***** to take my AUTO N/A there and ask em anything. lol

 

lol thats what i did. I heard about them on here, called them, gave them some nice words and they said "sure, it would only take like 30 minutes. Come on by." They saw the auto tranny and said we usually dont do work NA cars but we thought this would be quick, but they definately wouldnt offer it again for $35.

 

Does anyone know what the bolt size is to put this thing on? I bought an impact gun, but now I need impact sockets. I don't want to buy a set that doesn't have the size I need for this. I don't have any regular sockets that fit either. Someone please help! I wanna get this thing on!

sorry about that, its actually 22mm

Good to hear. I would put mine on but lack of funds right now. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

I hope I will get mine today or tomorrow and see JohnSlowEs on sunday to install it.

 

got it on a couple days ago maybe 5 or so hp. Its quicker to rev and moves thru rpms a bit quicker. All in all a good buy.

 

You'd cry if you did a before/after dyno.

I honestly don't think people know what 5 whp feels like.

 

why would i cry? um honestly i do know what 5 wheel horsepower feels like, but i didnt say whp i said hp. give or take 5 hp. a good buy either way.

 

i'm confused. I know this doesn't ADD hp, but it frees it up to use. Soooo...wouldn't that be just like adding it to what you can feel. Because now the hp is useable. SO I just think you would be able to feel the difference between 5 hp stolen by heavy parts, and 5 hp freed up by lighter ones. I just can never figure this part out.
