espydur: The conversation is about his old 420a RS. We're not talking about his current spyder eclipse.

no just the base engine..
and i agree with you about makin 436hp with those mods.. impossible
on an engine dyno it was dynoed at 689hp at rear wheels.. he has spent tons of time and money on this car
he has...
75 shot of nitrous, shorty headers, edelbrock intake, 5 inch cowl hood, msd ignition, magnecore wires, ne thing round has been ported, flomaster exhuast with h pipes,4 head carb,65mm throttle body, borla manifold, pulleys,cobra cams raised, front and rear strut bars, lowering springs, 3.73 gearing,Koni Adjustable Drag Strut / 50/50 compression is 9:1 and the pistons are diamond forged and last but not least a vortech v-2 supercharger running 13psi at 6200rpm= 8 seconds of pure insanity
this is all based on what i've overheard from him talkin about it.. his mustang is his baby.. i'm more into sport compact than american muscle cuz i can't afford the gas.. don't get me wrong if i had the money i would be driving a 93 mustang lx convertible.. those are my fav
but this is all besides the point.. were on dsmtuners.com!!
but hey your mustang is faster then ur turbo laser???
is ur stang modded?? cuz damn, my buddy has a sticker on his 93 talon tsi that says 5.0L EATER pretty much bone stock except the bov, turbo timer and exhaust and he rocks mustangs i swear to god
this guy is feeding you such bs! 689 at the wheels with those parts you mentioned? Did you say he has a 351 cleveland? now if he did it would be carbureted....you say 4 head carb and 65mm throttle body? wTF?
...WTF is a borla manifold? Cobra cams? i didn't know 351 clevelands have more than one cam? anyway why didn't you show me the receipt for the 600 hp 351 cleveland?

again to say that we went completely off the subject at hand, all of a sudden we went off about mustangs, ok they are also cool, but this forum is to exchange info on our dsms. So no matter what car you drive and no matter what forum you are on, dont go to the extreme about bashing others, whether its a honda, dsm, mustang or other car, we all race and love to do it, we all do it different so leave it at that, express your opinion nice and exchange info and opinions, not bashing, if you dont i think as a whole everyone doesnt want you here.

ok yeah that makes more sense now....i take it thats not the current setup in that pic as that motor has a Sypder intake on it and a Vortech blower
oh yeah and no factory Cobra R camshaft has 691 lift![]()
i hope that motor has a solid roller or something in it...custom ground for a blower........

Someone can take a 350 c.i. V8 and get 500+ horses out of it without a turbo easily. Who's to say it can't be PROPORTIONALLY done with an inline 4cyl.... It just takes a different method. Cleared up intake and exhaust (including porting can be done by someone at home for about $50 for a p&p grinding kit), A mean Cam, injectors, ignition upgrades and some computer reprog work could get someone to the 250+ mark easy. But cams are expensive, and so is having chip-tuning done. Cams and Cam gears alone could break $1000 in most cases (at least ones good enough to add that kind of power). Theft puts a big discount on things though (not trying to say anything but suggesting all that stuff only cost $2500 or so would suggest some of it came to you with a BIG BIG discount.
And this is assuming that they can install everything themself. Maybe you just added your #'s wrong. Probably and estimated 250 more like 190 realisticaly and about 160 of those will make it to the ground for dynoing. It is nice to dream/think big isn't it....but we're talking real ##'s here.
And if you're mods are that good....then let us in on 'em....don't be shiesty we could all use that kind of power for that cheap...![]()
sorry maybe it's just me.. it's late time for bed

You know, there is something you guys don't really think about. You have a 130hp car. Doesn't sound like much that makes you better stock than (a) all Civics but the SI (b) Cavaliers (c) Kias (D) Saturns (e) Integra RSs'.
Basically, all the people that probably talk crap about your cars are the above and your cars are BETTER than theirs. I remeber going to an illegal street race meet and watching a guy with a 93 Honda DX clown on a guy with a 94 GS. He was like "You have the slow version? HAHA!" The GS guy said "Yea, slow as in 25 more HP than you slow." Just a thought. Try not to think of the upper level stock turboes. If the GST/GSX trim wasn't available you guys would be classed at about hte same levels as Neons and Civic EX's.
And the guy with the NICELY built 1.8 (fast1.8) good luck. Your setup looks great.
