i'm getting real sick of you ####ers.. i myself own a 95 gs.. i was saying the motor is slow in stock form.. which it is. i never once said the 4g63 was better or faster.. never once. and i certaintly never said it would spool faster on a 4g63, quit assuming things.. two turbos would spool slow on any 4 cylinder.. maybe you should start reading things more closly.. i made damn sure to word that post correctly so i didnt offend any of the 420a owners (which is myself too) as for your car being faster than my TSI.. whatever, i'm not gonna act like a 2nd grader and argue with you about that, especially over the internet since we will never find out.. But tell me how you're gonna beat a car that is lighter, AWD and is running more boost?

You have a point, I assumed you were saying that it would work better on a 4g63 because of this comment "I couldnt even imagine the spool up time on it either. I cant see A LITTLE LOW POWERD 420a (non turbo) being able to spin two turbos efficently without some sort of rebuild and or nitrous."
I just wanted to point out that without your turbo you are a little low powerd 4g63. If you were really trying not to offend 420a owners you could have said something like "no 4 banger would spool that very well" "it would take forever to spool" "It's just not feesable" "I don't think it will work on a four cil." "the exhaust energy just isn't there" Did you really have to call my engine little and low powered. I did assume since you are a 4g63 guy and you called my motor little and lowpowered that you were bashing my motor. If that was not what you ment to do when you said it was little and low powerd then I am sorry.

I don't mean to instigate (ok maybe I do) but the AWD TSi/GSX is the heaviest Eclipse int he whole line. A GS/RS is roughly (and I mean roughly) 300-400lbs LIGHTER because we do not have the AWD components....

EDIT - added weight specs

Curb weight with 5-speed manual:
1999 GSX 3,270 lbs
1999 GS-T 2,921 lbs
1999 GS 2,833 lbs
1999 RS 2,745 lbs
 
i own a 1st gen tsi which is lighter than those numbers posted.. and to kirby, yup your right i worded it wrong and i apologize.. i meant to word it in a way not to offend anyone, but i didnt succed, so i apologize.. i meant nothing bad about the 420a.. its a strong engine, it handled a 75 shot of n20 like no other on my gs.. very well put together engine.
 
if you do consider it any farther, consider also the 2.4l stratus block with srt internals. more displacement and longer stroke, more exhaust pressure. 2nd everyone thinks about bolt on products first. if you wanted to put a tt setup in your car go to a good welder tell him what you want and see about getting the manifold made. Plus isnt there those tt that are built into eachother to make 1 large out of the 2. for less room and quicker spool. I understand where you are comming from wanting to know some info and all you get is answers you dont need. like doing a search for talon on yahoo. you get lots of crap. but some is good... get it.
As far as people answering the n/a questions with get a gst. get a evo/ get a galant. yada yada.. Plain and simple dont. Let the n/a enthusiasts answer since more than likly they dont want those cars or else they would have bought them..
