97 eclipse 13 sec street monter

[mitsuclipes]

well i have here a 97 Eclipse GS-T this is my first DSM ive ever owned and now my first build ever in my life since it jump a tooth thank goodness no valves were bent my goal is to have a mid to low 13 second street car just fast enough to piss off a few V8s hehe this first 3 pics is when i first got her off a friend when it ran right aha

had to pull the motor out the car

After taking it apart at work since i work at a parts store and have a machine shop to my disposol hehe i got all the tools i need but i didnt do none of the machine work bcuz i would of broken something but i did find h beam eagle rods and ported head which is a 1g and all arp hardware so off to a good start money i dont have to spend ya! machinist did everything to that motor hone cylinder walls reconditioned ect ect.had to get a valve job on a few valves ugh! but only ended up spending 250 for everything since i know the shop on a personal level but i took about a month and a half to get it back currently have your basic bolt on all injen piping hks ssqq v3 bov supra side mount and stock t25. here is a few picks when i got it back from the machine shop finally

this is were my car stand as of looks i love the stock body of the car only thing i did was get new rims! stock 17 from the gsx brand new in the box when i got these still in the mitsubishi box when they were made in 98 and of coarse there on the car

current state of the motor its still at work just waiting on taxes to finish her up only things i need is the tensioner pulley for timing and clutch and flywheel and need a new valve cover since the car had a crack valve cover and thats basically it when i get her running def will post the vidoes up and hopefully run her at the track my set goal is around 16-18 psi

Car looks good. Your BPU mods will get you 13's all day and be reliable.

hell yeah im looking for good power and a reilable daily driver since my v8 truck sucks gas down aha. my friends keep telling me go 20 to 22 psi but idk if id want to

Dont quote me on this but wouldn't you be pushing tbe limits of tbe stock t25 at those boost levels?

 

[mitsuclipes]

yeah your right i should of stated that ill be running stock psi while i save for the aftermarket fuel rail and injector turbo also im thinking a 16g should be good i have one sitting in my room but the turbine is bent on the tip really bad shaft play and the compressor housing has a scar all the way around and its missing the v clamp so ill be look into getting a different 16g

You can even get a used 14b that will be plenty for high 12s low 13s. Car looks good!
