October’s Ride of the Month is finally here and it covers none other than one of our very own moderators, James, aka akdriverjd. James got the Bright Red 1991 Eagle Summit 4 door sedan in the summer of 2003, right after he turned 16. Unfortunately James lives in Alaska so the weather there isn’t too conducive for modding cars, but when James found out about 4g61t.org he gathered so info from the forum and was able to do a few mods to free up the intake and exhaust, and bolt on some parts for a little tighter suspension while making it look good too. Here is a side shot of the Bright Red Summit:
For the mods to the engine, James found out that he could use a few parts from the 1.8L non turbo Talon/Eclipse/Laser motor (engine code 4g37) that would allow more air to be sucked into the combustion chambers to give the 4g15 just a few extra ponies. He picked up the 4g37s freer flowing mass air flow sensor, the 60mm throttlebody, the 4g37 210cc injectors along with the ECU to make everything work properly. He also added a K&N Fuel Injection Perfromance Kit to help out the induction system a little bit more. As for the exhaust, James decided to give that an expanding job since the motor was allowed to breath better and he bolted on a 2.25â€
