That's what I'm talking about!

Good luck with everything 98Turbo420a. What are those camshafts profile like, very turbo-friendly or just bareable? Are you going to remove the motor yourself? I hear the rev-limiter can be raised to 7800rpm without much trouble, you going to bring it beyond that with those head parts?

 

[98Turbbo420A]

Accually these are some wicked cams to be honest, I can't wait to get them, i may raise the rev limiter but i won't be taching out, i'll still shift around 6500. Accually I am building another motor outside the car at this point. The head is being ported and polished and is getting a 3 angel valve job, the intake is being ported and polished (matched), i've got a 60mm TB that's being bored to 70mm, the only thing I have left to do that will cause me some down time is the exhaust manifold, portmatch, but that's it, this car will be wicked i jsut know it!

That's too cool for me. You can truly use the extra rev's of the powerband those head parts bring you from 60+mph rolls where you won't lose much traction I hope your low-end power isn't too aggressive or wheelhop will become a very serious problem for you, unless you have a gear-regulated EBC (AVC-R).

The portmatch shouldn't be too long if you're already doing all of this. Hope you have a trusty machinist for all of this work!

Hope to see some videos of your car in the future, after the rebuild!

Naw i accually don't drag the car to often, although I have been known to play stoplight to stoplight! I'm accually running off the wastegate, it's safer that way!

Yeah, never fully trust a boost controller solenoid that's for damn sure.

You thinking of stand-alone any time soon with all these mods? Or are you staying on the piggyback train? You must be the quickest (besides the Hahn RS one of course) 420a-Eclipse after these mods

 

[98Turbbo420A]

I may be fast, but I'm also going to be the fastest brokeass 420a owner on the board!!! ROLFMOA the price we pay for speed!

 

[1TuffRS]

Your definitely doing good, but there are some guys over at 2GNT that have done the same and more, you should go check out the competition.

why would you raise the rev limiter if you plan on shifting at 6500?

 

[98Turbbo420A]

Because I can.........if I ever wanted to shift that high I can if i raise it. I won't because I'm not into beating the hell out of my car, however, if the need does arise, IE viper wants to race, then it's on!

 

[Kirby]

So how do you plan to raise the rev limit? The only way to do that is with a stand alone or an afx ecu.

 

[98Turbbo420A]

The former!

 

[1TuffRS]

If im not mistaken the greddy e-manage will let you raise the rev limiter as well, you might want to check that out, cuz some of the big boys that I know are moving from the DFI to the e-manage.

 

[HighPSI TSi Guy]

e-manage will not let you raise a rev limit. it is a piggy back, and therefore incapable of doing such. great unit though.

 

[Kirby]

Yeah e-manage won't do it and neither will the DFI without a crank trigger and all that. Well 98 I want to see this thing when your done brother. Are you going standalone now or is that a down the road thing? Which system do you plan on using? How close to a cheap dyno are you?

 

[98Turbbo420A]

Well cheap and my car don't mix. I always go overboard (ie the best parts around). However, I will let you know when it's done. I should be dynoing sometime in August at the Southeast DSM Meet. Then we shall see what kind of numbers I can pull!

98Turbbo420A

Thru who did you purchase all your bottom and top end of the engine??? I want JE Pistons though and Eagle Rods thanks for any comment or help take care and we all want to see your car when finished.

 

[Kirby]

I don't know who he orderd from but you can call Howell automotive for the bottom or top end kit. You can also call Motofool, and VT engines. As for 98 turbo420a, I believe he had some real problems with the car because I remember he was trying to sell it a while back.
