So the talk of the town is there's a guy with a '99 Eclipse turboed. I've yet to talk to the guy but I have passed by it 2 times and it looks well built atleast from the outside. Little too aggressive bodykit for my taste but to each his own. Now if I run into this guy and we run, what should I expect? All I know is it's turboed @ 7 PSI.

 

My friend has a 99 TSI, running with a bigger Turbo and like 14 PSI. He does like 12.6 in the 1/4 Mile.
He runs with no Bodykit as that interfere's with his racing lol.

I'm guessing his car is more show and no go, you should blow him out of the water.

 

Good to hear. It's funny because most of the kids around here with the "popular rides" are stuck up high school kids thinking they are unbeatable. I'm not well known because well I don't start **** but if people run me I ain't afraid to back down.

 

is it a base with aftermarket turbo, or gst or gsx?

 

Gs-t And The Gsx Are Slow Stock Low 15 Sec (high 14 Sec With Good Driver)1/4 But When Modified Lightly They Can Run. A Couple Of Weeks Ago My Friend Ran His Gsx With 2.5in Full Exhaust And Intake And Ran A 13.9

 

It's a GS, is that the base?

 

yes its base. but he could have removed the T. if hes stock you have nothing to worry about. my friend has a stock gs-t and its not that impressive. but you dont wanna mess with them when they are modded.

 

my buddy here in stl has probably one of the baddest eclipse's its got about 500 hp fully built motor 25psi...and its beautiful, just not fair

 

just hope this happens to him:

My encounter with an Eclipse still running the stock turbo.

 

Holy Crack Sniffing Nails...

 

Nice. =)

 

lmao...at the end hes like heres one huge piece of block...oh look another huge piece of block.
hahaha lmao.

 

dude needs to clip his pinky finger nail.

 

nice vid post!

 

Well if hes only runnin 7 psi hes a turboed GS, with a 420A motor, cuz ne more than thats Boom... cuz all the factory turbos are about 11psi stock. But a turbo GS is faster than a stock GST. bigger turbo, comp ratio is diff. Heres the specs on the Hahn turbo kit for the NA eclipses. not sayin thats what he has.

Yeah, DSM's with the proper attention can be very quick, very fast, and very easily underestimated.

 

A stock DSM is not impressive in the least. They are heavy cars and underpowered from the factory. The NT cars are a joke and I know I'll catch **** for that but they lack the only 2 things that make the cars worth owning, AWD and the 4g63. If I were going to build a FWD car that wasn't factory turbocharged it would be a Honda. Less weight and parts are a lot cheaper.

 

ha ha ha the best part is when he says his perents are gonna be pissed
hahahahaha what a jack a$$
