Whats the problem? Why do you want to tune your car.
If you want to get a good tune result .
Check the following .
1. Spark plug condition - Take a look one by one see the color .If black lots of carbon . wet with oil , brownish light in color
2. Cllean air filter
3.Check the condition of your spark plug wire set . The tip might be corroded or rusty .
4. Check the engine timing . Timing must be set on your engine specification.
5. Check disributor cap, rotor
NOTE # When was the last tune -up of your engine. Including change oil.
Hope this help answer your question. Just give more detail so other tsikoteer will answer your question briefly.

September 8th, 2009 09:25 AM #7Bro, I think you need to select some stages before tuning your car.
Stage 1. Replace your intake and exhaust system
Stage 2. Get a blow off valve and induction kit
Stage 3. Need your electrical and computer system replace like ECU chip for fuel distribution
Stage 4. Replace your Gears and drive train to a racing kit like sequential shifter and bigger gear ratio.
Stage 5. Change your breaks to a ceramic disk for better breaking system.
Stage 6. Bore up kits and engine works for ever sized pistons.
Stage 7. NOS!
Mamili ka nalang dyan, pero kung may pera ka at balak mong kalabanin ang x-wing ng star wars. gawin mo lahat yan. Hehehehehe

September 8th, 2009 08:51 PM #8Nabasa ko (from sidney/speedlab's post sa teamFD) that the 1.8L R18s don't really benefit from changing exhausts.
Drop by speedlab na rin for the stage1 upgrades, before you'd think of dropping down ~150k for a turbo setup.

Don't need a blow-off valve without forced induction.
Stage 4. Replace your Gears and drive train to a racing kit like sequential shifter and bigger gear ratio.
And good luck finding and installing one for under a million pesos... because a sequential racing box alone costs more than that.
Stage 5. Change your breaks to a ceramic disk for better breaking system.
Stage 6. Bore up kits and engine works for ever sized pistons.
Stage 7. NOS!

The problem with changing exhausts on the R18 is that the big restriction is with the built-in exhaust manifold... but you can probably make some decent gains with the downpipe (if it's a single pipe, can you call it a "header" (-s) :hysterical: ), a full exhaust and a chip. The R18 should do well with the Unichip, actually, since it's electronic ignition as well as injection, and the Unichip makes a lot of its gains through the dynamic timing control of the ignition system.
The R18 is already actually pretty powerful for a 1.8... it's as quick as most of the 2.0s on the market, bar the Focus TDCi. In fact, when we first drove the manual 1.8, both I and my cousin were mighty impressed. (I drive a 2.0 Ford Lynx RS... he drives an SiR).
I'd personally do a cold-air induction set-up and a Unichip, then focus on brakes and suspension.
The turbo would be nice, and the single exhaust port of the R18 makes installation simpler, but it's not for everyone... if you simply want to make your car a bit quicker, no need for a turbo.Last edited by niky; September 8th, 2009 at 11:18 PM.

September 9th, 2009 09:37 AM #10Ok , being serious, we have an Mitsubishi eclipse 95 Model GST on a drag setup, we have followed several stages and we acquired our tuning parts on import basis. We have the sequential shifter as I have said but of course it came with a price. Having a nice airflow system is a plus on your torque.
BTW niky the ever sized I type is called a typo, you just made me the biggest looser in here, just like you made me an idiot that I don't know what I am talking about. But still it's ok with me because I have the experience driving rice cars and I bet you don't.
Peace bro.
I know but since it's a gold series it probably will last at least 21 months. They just labeled it...
Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well
