    nice that is why i was interested becuase my 2.4I is gutless in the low rpm rnage and begin to kick starting around 2900-3000 so the faster i can get into that sweet spot the better.

    what about flywheel underpully combo? and can I use a performance under pulley from an EVO or a 2000 and up eclipse?

    2000 and up eclipse yes. but adding these parts won't do much for you performance-wise without other major mods

    Auto flywheel and Manual flywheels are not the same. You need to find a lightweight flywheel for a 3g Eclipse which I am not sure if they make.

    Lightweight underdrive pulleys do help as well. Anytime you can get weight off the rotating assembly, it will help.

    Most recent article I read states underdrive pulleys can cause excessive wear on powersteering systems and alternators, which are being spun at faster than normal speed.
    lightweight pullys better alternative, still reduce mass, thus increase power, but, dont reduce rotation distance, thus, dont effect anything else. generally more expensive, but the 'proper' way of doing it. underdrive, often the cheap way out.
