I have a fresh rebuilt block .020 over with stock head except for 272's cams, after market exhaust manifold (just for looks) and what i believe to be a fake 16g turbo from ebay. i have a 1000 and looking to have a reliable everyday car.

i think i just posted this at a wrong spot hahaha

perfect example of a dumb Dsmer ROFL

J/k bro. :p
 
300 91-93 320-94-99. These are NOT AWHP. These are Crank HP. also, heavier yes, but these cars do handle quite nicely, especially the 4ws and stock ECS control and Aero front and rear wing from 91-96.
-Shane

Hey hey - :p so yes, it's crank HP. However the drop is certainly not that significant. The percentage would beg to argue. They are certainly quick-'feeling' and somewhat beefy vehicles off the lot. Very enjoyable. It just feels like a boat. Dear lord the handling... I love it.

Yes there is a difference in vvti but not by much.

VVTI is interference and non-VVTI is non interference, correct?

I have a good one its not a dsmer being dumb its me protecting are name and a Honda ricer punk going at it on facebook on a girl stats i went to high school with its funny. (HRP means Honda ricer punk)

Fuh Fuh Fuh.

What?

Also kown as vtec, i believe only the 97-98 supra had the vvti. but the turbos on the the 93-96 were better than the 97-98 models i forget its something like that but for sure only the 97-98 models have vvti but if im wrong someone can correct and put this on this forum for me saying something stupid if its wrong haha. :thumb:

The vvti turbo models were only offered in japan though as far as i read haha, we got the non-turbo vvti motors though ^_^

That makes them JDM-tite, yo. :p
 
What if you went up to someone with a dsm and he says his eclipse is jdm? Haha what would you do!!!

I'd point at the VIN number and then pull up my phone's Mapping App and show him where Normal IL. is located.
 
working at auto zone had a kid come in and tell my he had a 91 eclipse 1.8 awd turbo with a 35r. now im not an expert. im on my second dsm, so i said dont you mean 2.0 turbo if its awd. he was convinced that he had a 1.8l turbo awd eclipse. then he insisted on telling me that ngk copper plugs are shitty and he wanted bosh platimum4+ plugs.
 
I had a guy selling a greddy intercooler. I asked him what bov flange it had on the upper pipe. He said its a "greddy hks bov flange" Then I was like UHH. He said what you mean by bov. He claims this is his second dsm running 10s.

SMH, I can not understand any of this......Better Story telling skills or go back to school for grammar and punctuation.

Unless you have a Japanese VIN. :sneaky:

But don't worry, I know my car was built in the U.S. and all that.
 
One question have a 91 talon tsi (5 speed) and motor is junk I found one out of 93 but it is a 7 bolt auto will this work in this car? I also have a 95 2.0 turbo will this one fit in the 91? What would it take to get either one to work?

This isn't the thread that you should be asking this question, but since your new I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Use the engine from the '93. It will be bolt in whereas the '95 will not.
 
I have a good one for you all between me and a girl I work with.

A girl I work with starts talking about how she used to street race. Mind you she had a non turbo single over head cam stealth and thought it was super fast. LOL saying she walked on turbo'd eclipses and talons with it LOL again.

Me Did the people you were racing know how to drive.

Girl Yes they are awesome drivers.

Me laughing under my breath thinking god what an idiot.

Girl I had a stealth VR4 to

Me You mean RT twinturbo

Girl No VR4

Me they didnt make a stealth VR4 it would have been an RT twin turbo AWD and some were AW Steer

Girl They did to make a VR4 stealth and none were AW Steer

Me at this point im almost pissing my pants at how dumb she actually is.

Girl I know all about these cars I can take the engine out of the car tear it down put it back together and back in the car in 2 hours.

Me wow thats really fast.

Girl yea im just that good.

Me so how fast did your non turbo stealth run in the 1/4

Girl 10 seconds

ME I couldnt help it by this point I lost it and proceeded to laugh and called bullshit on it all. Then proceeded to be an ass and showed her all the models of the stealths and 3000gts to show her. She still tried to argue with me so i gave up.
 
:p if that were so, I'd skip the second part and go "Oh... neat. "

I'd think the same as you but I can honestly say I have a VIN different than any other DSM I've seen and they told be at the dealership it was Japanese. I don't know why Mitsu did that...:hmm:
 
Converasation I had with a guy about his mustang during stryker opnet. His mustang is this body style right before the mustangs went retro.

Me: Soo you paid so much extra for a set of wheels and a CAI for that Bullit?

Him: NO, its got all ford racing parts, a short throw shifter, and a 4.6l v8!

Me: You know the 4.6l has been around for a while in the gt's?

Him: NO! Those were 4.0l, I have the bigger motor.

Me: So you have the 5.4? Ford did not make a 4.0 v8 except one year and I am sure they went into their SHO's.

Him: no they are all 4.0l v8s I know I drive a mustang! I see them all the time.

Me: Google it, your wrong 4.0 was a shotty V6 in retro era mustangs.

Me and some friends are sitting around so they all start googling and come up no mustang has a 4.0 L v8.

Me: I told you man.,. You have the same crappy ass motor as the gt's.

Him: whatever man, your wrong. I know because I have seen it.

Me: OOOOOKK PAL! If you say so hahaha.

What a artard

You should totally take a picture of that.
 
My new favorite.

-See's a very clean black 2GB Eclipse pull beside me at a small diner at lunch-
Me : Mmm.. Nice 2G. GST?
Kid : She's nice. Fast. Full exhaust. Cold Air Intake 'toob'. Fat can(?). Tuned by 'Full Boost Specialties over in Memphis' (Never heard of them.)
Me : Nice. What tuning solution are you using? Link by chance? And what turbo?
Kid : Nah. Just chipped. Pushing about 10 psi.
Me : Oh. Neat. Eprom I take it. -Gets out of car to walk over as Kid is getting out-
Kid : Nope. Custom computer
Me : -pauses....- So what's the engine bay look like?
Kid : -Pops the hood. I about pass out- She's cleeaaaan.
Me : .....420a, huh? (I take note of the cheap CAI dangerously close to the ground, the worn filter, the oil covered block, and the rusted 'aftermarket' exhaust) Huh... So.. it's pushing... 10psi you said?
Kid : Yeah man. guy hooked me up with a custom toon. Said she's putting down about 320...350 horse power right now. It's crazy.
Me : Yeah... sure is man... I bet you have all sorts of traction issues.
Kid : Damn right! When it rains it's crazy. So, what's done to yours?
Me : Oh... nothing....just stock. -looks at the VR4 over my shoulder-
Kid : That's cool man. Nothin' wrong with stock. Those are like, what... 120HP to the front wheels?
Me : Uh...I guess if you half it.
Kid : Huh?
Me : That's a VR4. All Wheel Drive Twin Turbo 6 Cylinder.
Kid : Shyyyyyyyyyyyt. Nice man. Thought you said that shit was stock! Anyway dude, hit me up sometime if you see me around! We'll line em' up and I'll show you what an Eclipse can do.
Me : Roger that man. -Knuckle Bumps the kid and just sit there shaking my head as he walks into the burger diner holding his pants up as fast as he can.-
