Gonna catch up the guys who weren't following my thread before first. Fast fowarding, I started this project in April, went on hold for a few months while moving out of the bay area, and now I am back on track. This won't be a bam bam bam 3 days and I am done with a new race car blog, so please bare with me.
The car started out bone stock a year previous to this with nothing more than a 16g turbo. This was my 6th Eclipse, and now is destined to be my 1st 100% race car for road racing Infinion, Leguna Seca, and Thunderhill. I purchased a new daily driver, so any mods I choose or can be suggested to me for this race car do not need to have street laws affect that descion.
Now, on to the build!

Not much to say at this point, but this will be my thread for my first engine build, first 6 bolt engine, and first 2.4 engine. I am not a pro and will be doing alot of research on the engine as I go along, but after two years of being around and working on eclipse mods, I am ready to take on this task.
So far all i have gathered is a G4CS short block with the stock internals to the motor still in there
I got:
Wiseco .020 over pistons
Eagle rods and arp bolts
and yea that is it for the new block. Alot of the parts will be coming from my current motor, such as the hks 272s, the act 2900 clutch, and all the usual 2g 6 bolt swap required parts.
I am currently looking for input on the turbo in another thread, but looking mainly to road race, so torque and low end power is my goal here, not top end HP numbers.
Other than that, I need a head, a lower gasket kit, and upper gasket kit.
This is the begining of what I think is going to be alot of fun. I am taking my car off the streets and am buying a new DD to take its place. Full track car
and now for the pics
