Say Something About The Person Above You

knows i bet my 9mill will create a lovely window through your engine (wether it be head or block)
nothing is bullet proof

 

[josh38127]

Knows thats not a acceptable from of weight reduction.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows nothingfiction might want to put holes in things.

 

[nothingfiction]

Knows the thrill of firing a weapon is just a tiny wee bit higher than going real fast quick

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Might have shot trap before.

 

[josh38127]

has never told me why they call him Bubbs.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I call me Bubbs

It's a name I picked when gaming, my kids always know it's me when I frag them

Ssshhh!!! Don't tell Social Services.

Knows i just posted elsewhere about people complaining how weak the 420A is and how the block can't withstand 300HP. So i will share it for you all here

Hahn Racecraft 450HP 11.7 second Eclipse RS

Taken from: Hahn Racecraft - Automotive Turbosystems

Our first prototype vehicle for 420A Turbosystem testing was our own 1998 Eclipse RS. This long-term testbed vehicle was at first used to engineer our Stage I and II turbosystems.

During this period, we were surprised and pleased to learn that the 420A looked promising and amazingly modern when inspected internally. As it is a truly new engine (1995 was its introduction), its CAD design and contemporary design improvements were apparent upon close inspection. The design concepts we noted in the 420A suggested strongly that our current and future power and durability aspirations should meet with success:

In the first year of testing, we studied the effects of our Stage I and II turbosystems on COMPLETELY STOCK ENGINES. This long term testing was crucial to determining the safe upgrade limits for these otherwise stock engines and drivetrains. Over thousands of street miles through all types of climates, with dozens of drag strip passes in between, our prototypes were put through their paces. The stock engines proved quite well suited to the 250 to 275 HP that our Stage II kit produces.

After a year of successful turbosystem and durability development with the stock engines, the time had come to explore the next level. With a target of 375-400 HP, new engines were prepared with forged pistons and billet connecting rods. One was installed in our Eclipse, another in the Neon. These units were carefully assembled, but were intentionally left OTHERWISE COMPLETELY STOCK except for the pistons and rods. We also upgraded the fuel systems to full programmable units, while adding a more powerful ignition amplifier. These changes allowed the turbo and intercooler that are standard in Stage I and II systems to run higher boost and produce their maximum airflow of almost 400HP.

The next step in power, was tested with our Eclipse RS. In addition to the fuel system and engine internal mods, we added a larger intercooler and converted the turbo to Super 20G specs. Remapping of the programmable fuel system we had previously installed allowed us to take advantage of the additional airflow provided by the larger turbo and front-mounted intercooler. Here the 420A engine proved itself yet again: it was now producing 450+HP, enough to propel the 2900 lb. Eclipse to 122 MPH in 11.7 seconds. Yet the car is compliant and cooperative in street driving, still wears air conditioning and goes anywhere!

It is important to note that our 450+HP Eclipse 420A engines are still STOCK in terms of airflow. For the sake of turbosystem economy and simplicity, as well as good street manners, we decided to explore the maximum amount of power available while still blowing through a stock throttle body, intake manifold, cylinder head, cams and valves. The outcome is impressive, to say the least. Although the durability improvement provided by the piston and rod upgrades is essential to the use of these engines over 300HP, the pistons and rods do not help produce more power. The power gains are strictly achieved through the capabilities of the HRC turbo and fuel systems. 450+HP is enough for most, and readily achievable. Yet a brave few will try to imagine what results could be achieved with the addition of cylinder head / manifold improvements!

For Hahn RaceCraft, the next step will be to do just that. Our continuing development of the 420A will now explore what we can achieve when we are not limiting ourselves to the 450 or so HP airflow of the stock components. Moving effectively to the next level prompts us to finally take off the stock manifold and other parts that had performed so well to date. It's a bittersweet moment, for while we look forward to the huge power gains enabled by the new parts, we will miss the outright simplicity, ease and affordability of the stock parts. No matter. In order to maintain our position as the authority on these engines under high output, we will now forge ahead to ever-higher power levels. The information learned as we cross the 500HP mark will continue to benefit all of our 420A Turbosystems and engine components. We plan to persist until we have achieved the 400+HP per liter of engine displacement we have achieved with some of our other notable engine programs

P.S.: The transaxle these engines are coupled to is a nice piece in its own right. Its durability definitely makes the engine's strong points even more viable. In the worst case scenario we've been able to come up with, our 98 Eclipse RS has withstood thousands of miles of turbocharged street use and 11.7 second quarter miles. It weighs about 2900 lbs. with driver and has a completely stock transaxle, uses slicks at the track and has had ZERO transmission issues. I've never missed a gear in it in over a hundred dragstrip passes. It's a perfect marriage with the Stage IV clutch we provide. I drive it hard, and if it holds up to what I dish out, then it's a durable gearbox! The fact that the stock components have held up to this brutal power level for so long is evidence of the durability that you can expect.

Long story short " Little did we know at that time that we would be building over 450HP with this exceptional engine by late 1999" Thats 10 years ago!!!

Has got a "Hard On" for her 420a.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I just can't get into that thought.

Your a bad man...

 

[nothingfiction]

Knows that thinking hurts the brain

 

[eclipse gsx]

has a 420a eclise wich looks nice

 

[nothingfiction]

might have perved my pics

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I did.

 

[josh38127]

NF shouldn't be mad.he pervs other people too.

 

[nothingfiction]

got beatin to a post

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I'm just playin'

 

[nothingfiction]

Knows my previous post sounded... bad. but not meant meant to be taken literally (depending how you read it)

 

[Bubbs Malone]

There was that one pic though,

 

[josh38127]

Knows if I say I'm preving a person I meen it. I am coming for you Bubbs

 

[nothingfiction]

knows im having caffeine withdrawls

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows in a few hours she can get up and have her morning coffee.

 

[josh38127]

Doesn't know she is to lazy.She probaly will just fall asleep.

 

[eclipse gsx]

maybe he gets some

 

[josh38127]

Is speaking totel freaking nonsense.
