A lil bit about the Candy Eclipse

This car use to be a nt (thats right)
It also has 5 other DSM's in it.
So far It has been to 187MPH :eek:

Mods thus far?

Where to start where to start.

Lets begin with the engine. ;)

It is a seasoned 2.0 6 bolt 4g63 6-bolt block, with balance shafts removed. As far as the rotating assembly goes, it a proven set-up consisting of crower rods, JE pistons (9:0.1) free floated with arp mains and head studs. All speed balanced to 15k RPM :eek: She rumbles and shakes down low but when the rpms climb its like music.
The Head sports ferrea super alloy valves with ferrea valve guides, and crower springs and titanium retainers, porting is excessive. ;) The bump sticks of choice are HKS 272's.
Original Turbo was a pte 57 trim, But Now has a custom FP/ Garrett GT35R With a 44mm V-band gate on it.
I am fixing to put the ems and injectors in and who knows what the future holds. All I can say is I am looking for 550+ on pump gas, and a top speed past 190 :eek:
I will post newer pics of the engine bay soon. ;)

A really nice tune and everything to support it, Just thought I would share the other things done to the car and plans as well.
I am on transmission #6 clutch # I forgot. All bushings in the car have been replaced with prothane, I have done some unsafe removing of metal as well to bring the weight down. It has agx's and eibach sportlines at the moment.


My plans to do 200mph

Thin aluminum sheet metal the entire underside of the car, enhance the stock spoiler to increase downforce, more unsafe metal removal. Cage. Swap the sportlines/ agx's for coilovers. Add Stoptech brakes.Dual plate clutch, and a built transmission. Also when I do hit 200 it will be recorded. ;) Anyone want to ride with me?

I have a bunch of other stuff with the car too but you guys can probally figure it out. ;)

So do you have anything done to the tranny or is it stock. Correct me if I am wrong but the top of 5th gear at 9k doesnt get you to 200mph. Just curious what you have done.

Nice looking car.

Yeah,not to gang up on you. I've tapped out a factory gearbox at 170mph at over 9,300rpm's. I've got pretty tall gears in my Shepherd dogbox and still need over 10,000rpm's to get close to 195mph.
190mph in a 1G DSM without some major suspension upgrades is fast. I hope your not testing this thing out on public roads !?!?

In an awd this is true, this is a fwd turbo trans. Yes they have been stock thats why I have had 6 of them.

The front lip is off a 90 eclipse

Beautiful car girl, you know I've always been a big fan of it. Have you ever considered using something like fiberglass instead of sheetmetal underneath the car? Either way remember to make sure that you've either got some access panels or at least make the front half easily removable for servicing the motor.

187 mph :eek: . I didn't think that would be possible. You must have one heck of a high rev limiter. You must also have balls of steel :p . I had the Vette up to 163 (still pulling hard) and I chickened out :eek:
