Answer: Armando,
RC probably makes the best injectors for the Eclipse's needs. I would recommend going with the 550cc injectors. They are less expensive and you could probably get away with using your stock pump; if its still in good shape and you rewire it. The 660cc allow for 50% more fuel than stock, but you must use a Super AFC and a VERY high flowing fuel pump for these injectors. Check out www.machv.com for details and other goodies.
Your Eclipse is probably at 300HP or greater with all your mods. I trust you also added a high performance clutch if you have a manual tranny. Also, you may want to run cooler spark plugs. NGK makes the best for the Eclipse. Go with copper; the platnium are overkill. Plus, you can't gap platnium to spec. You'd scrape off the platnium coating and that could result in misfires. Cooler plugs are very good for high horsepower turbo engines. Just make sure to gap them accurately. Running cooler plugs could cause detenation if not installed properly. New plug wires are wise to change if you haven't installed new ones in a while.
Thanks for your email address. It's always good to have references from others that know Eclipses. Keep your eyes on the road and the V8s in your rear view mirror ;)
