how fast is an eclipse with a stage I blower?
 
any idea how fast this is. has full exhaust, air intake, and a stage I blower. apparently he think sit can run 12's or 11's. can it?

Yep it can. I have seen it.. Is it a v6 or the 4cyl? Either way I have seen it.. Those little imports can Rev pretty quick, But they can't stand up to the abuse..

whats an eclipse? never heard of it

88fivepointoh 08-30-2004 03:58 PM

Mistubishi Eclipse, Import Rice Burner

i think its a 6 cylinder. looks like i have my hands full then, but he has no traction. i took a ride in it a few days ago and it seemed fast but you never know until you are actually racing. we'll see.

88fivepointoh 08-30-2004 05:12 PM

what does the car look like, I bet I seen it, i'll let u know if its fast... There's alot of them around here but there all show and no go.

is it a gsx?

Fat0eknee 08-30-2004 06:35 PM

wait ..nm gsx's are turbo not supercharged - my guess is its slow :D

88fivepointoh 08-30-2004 07:05 PM

those Eclipses are pretty quick with super chargers, On a modified 5.0 it won't smoke you, but on a bone stock 5.0L it will take you no problem..

That eclipse if it is a 4cyl should go 14.5 to 14.0 if it is a 6cyl it should go 13.7 to 13.0 depending on traction. If it is a 4 go for it if it is not spend more money then go for it

88- it is black with a carbon fiber (brownish) hood. looks nice with red painted calipers too. my brother is friends with him from the gym. prett nice guy as he did all the stuff to it by himself and admittedly says he doesnt know what it runs (just what he heard it should run). he and my brother are going to log cabin this wednesday (I hope to make it if i ca show up to a party late). look for a brnad new triumph bike and the eclipse. if im there, i have a dark blue stang with no badges.

poon, i see we have the same kit, what do yo urun in the 1/4? also, what is your Fp at and timing? do you get a pop at all? a lot of blow by with oil in the rear main swal from pressure? just curious. thanks,

jim

If it is the newest body style then it is a turd.

If it is the AWD turbo version with a few mods they can go high 11's all day long.

I bet it is slower than my SHO...

88fivepointoh 08-31-2004 01:53 PM

What's the guys name? Does he go to baily's in greece?

poonstang90lx 08-31-2004 03:19 PM

I have never run it down a 1/4 but the car went 8.50@87 in the 1/8 on street tires spun the things the whole way down the track.

jimdrechsler 08-31-2004 07:03 PM

88- his name is james and he lives in ER. im pretytyu sure he goes to RAC in the city with my bro. going tomorrow to Log Cabin?

poon- not sure what that equates to in the 1/4. any idea what FP and timing is?

88fivepointoh 08-31-2004 07:23 PM

Your quarter mile ET would be: 13.26
Your quarter mile MPH would be: 109.62

Looks like on a good set of slicks you could go low 12's in the 1/4.

gmhatr 09-02-2004 12:22 AM

8.5@87mph
 
I'm runing 9.4 @ 87 What's up with that.
