4th gen eclipse 3.8tt

So, a link to my car domain is the best I can do for pics and a mod list right now, iPad won't let me load pics or anything onto the site.

Do you have any issues with the car overheating? Just wondering since the FM is completely blocking the radiator. Love the setup.

Nah. No over heating issues, mostly courtesy of a 1280 cfm and 890 cfm SPAL "pull" fans. The fans are sandwiched in between the intercooler and radiator.

No idea, waiting on heads to finish up before I bump the boost up to 7-8psi and retune it all. It's tuned at 4psi now. Just a street tune.

I know it runs door to door with a slightly modded cts-v (previous gen) and will pull on a modded exhaust 03 mustang cobra. That's the best I can tell ya right now. I all for running the car against a local evo so we can get an idea.

I don't have the slightest clue where we could go. You work on base? Maybe one the the range roads somewhere? 350whp on your car would be a good run for me I think.my I'll kill me from a dig thugh, obviously.

yeah that could work. I saw your car last night and it looked/sounded like a beast. Kudos for doing something different

Lol, sig said 350. That's not quite fair. Hahaha

Thanks though for the compliments. I do love having the only one like it, definitely makes it fun. I'm down even for getting my *** handed to me by a beast car

You have any plans on swapping to bigger turbo's or building the engine? I would like to see what it could do on higher boost. I used to have a turboed plymouth neon and without a doubt that car would rape my old evo on only 8psi. It always comes down to horsepower to weight ratio...how heavy is your car?
