Hi Didac, good job man.

It's time for spaniards to start showing good projects too.

Take care!

 

[Jeremoose]

Wow! I need to see the finished product; that blue with gold rims is going to be just beautiful...

 

[PieEyedPiper]

This is the best project thread I've seen in a long time. Absolutely fantastic dude!

But, this belongs in the hangout and you need to resize your pics to 700x700.

 

[vaboys2ndgen]

definatly a very clean car. i also like the blue/goldd look. what did u use to paint all the other parts? type of paint(spray, etc) damn good idea for a show car!

 

[synchro]

I request excuses by the size of the photos, the next ones will be but small.

and it did not find as it was the site to put the post, if some moderator changes it would very thankful.

 

[Indyxc]

Looks good.

Be careful with the XS power T3/T4 turbo kit, and manifold. They don't do so well.

in the engine, transmisions & other mechanical parts i have used anticaloric paint

in the intercooler pipping, arms, and other decorative parts i have used three types of sprays.
- print base
- metallic colour
- brilliant varnish

of the last, two layers of each.

Looks good.

thanks for the advertisement, but we have revised it well and so far we are going to mount it.

greestings!!

 

[Crazyjoker77]

hey man your car looks goergous one question where did you get that oil filter housing??? what company makes it? mine is leaking like crazy and im sure that one would be much cheaper than stock.

again

check out mine http://forums.beyond.ca/st/152380/98-eclipse-turbo/

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

I am interested in how that XS Power/SSAC manifold/wastegate/turbo setup works for you. What kind of revising did you do to it?

And update us with dyno number if you ever get them.

 

[synchro]

everything dismounted, it was verified and it balanced, also flashes were eliminated and one polished.

when the car is finished and it does the running already to him I will put it in the dyno.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

Looking forward to the results.

What flywheel do you have? Looks like the XTD one from ebay?

Actually I just looked at the other forum you put the rest of the pics:

http://www.clubjapo.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=9702&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=400

It is indeed the XTD 6 puck clutch and flywheel combo.

I heard the clutches were fine, but the flywheel there needed to be some modifications to it so it would fit properly. Can you discuss how the setup is? I'm planning to get the same for my other GSX.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

Also what is the purpose of the markings made on the head:

I wish I could understand what that thread is saying, then you wouldnt have to translate. I love how you documented everything in the build up.

 

[talonESturbo]

real nice car

 

[mikyrc]

Redturbo, that's called singh-grooves:

http://somender-singh.com/content/view/7/49/

There's few people that are experimenting with them and getting pretty good results.

Here something i read from a forum in uk:

Over the last two years I have grooved heads for more than twenty engines, I lost count. Most of these are performance or race only Generation I, II or III SBC. At first the results appeared to be rather vague, until I realized what was happening. The best way to describe it is: this modification improves the quality combustion to a point that it changes the characteristics of the engine. The limits of the engine are altered, the modification allows higher compression with out detonation, lean burn and ignition advance limits are changed and warm up periods are reduced. Fuel enrichment functionally can be reduced or eliminated completely.

But as far as i know it hasn't ever tried on DSM's.

 

[synchro]

yes, its a combo 6 pucks clutch + flywheel, and the flywheel it fits perfectly.

on sg's (singhgrooves) already I will say to you that so they work.

 

[19Eclipse90]

Very nice job. I'm loving all the different colors - so much eye candy!
Keep it up, that's a helluva nice car.

 

[SlickGSX]

Very nice work Are there many DSM's imported to Spain?

 

[synchro]

in Europe much was sold the mitsubishi eclipse, but only the N/A version, that it takes the 4G63 Engine. the Turbo versions they are rare to see, although luckily every time they are seen more.

 

[Project2G]

They have IKEA there? LoL.. nice ride. PM Sent

 

[Indyxc]

They have IKEA there? LoL.. nice ride. PM Sent

Why not? Considering Ikea is a Swedish company, Spain is a closer than US and A.

 

[DSMunknown]

Looks like you've come a long way since the outset. Hope to see more photos!

 

[TjPhillips36]

Very nice build-up. One of the best documented build-ups I have seen. I just wish I could translate that other page and read everything! But all the pictures are great!
