wife's car vs 20 psi eclipse

**mrr23** · 01-08-2006, 06:57 PM

we did three runs.

motor vs 20 psi = was from a 45 roll. three honks i took him by about a car. as he spooled up he caught up. shifted and he dropped back slightly. once spooled back up, he had me by about 1 1/2 cars when i let out.

spray vs 20 psi = this was from a 30 roll. not even close. left him by three cars and let out.

spray vs 20 psi v.2 = i let him go from a 45 roll. even worse. this time i didn't let out until he was about 1/8 mile back.

Sweeeet....nice kill

Good kill. What size shot are you running?

**ss~zoso~ss** · 01-09-2006, 04:01 PM

i ran a 03' GTI with 15-20 psi, that eclipse must have had a great tune or something, because i killed this GTI and i'm almost stock

wicked.

**third_shift|studios** · 01-10-2006, 06:00 AM

wow, 20 psi...that's HUGE

**ss~zoso~ss** · 01-10-2006, 09:49 AM

eh its not that HUGE, in the world of tuners and ricers, upwards of 40 is HUGE

from what i have seen around here anyways

**mrr23** · 01-10-2006, 11:29 AM

there's a place i frequent that works on vipers and such. he just got done with a neon. stock shortblock. 24 psi, 370 fwhp. he said the shortblock can take that all day.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 01-10-2006, 02:34 PM

lmao FWHP hahahah

yea thats a sleeper, this kid has a 94 Galant with 460AWDHP that is the biggest sleeper i have yet to see

**Kingbird** · 01-10-2006, 07:34 PM

yeah that vr4 galant is the same platform as the evo 3 in japan. Watch out.

Just because one car runs the same boost as another doesn't mean that they will pump out the same power.

Different turbos with different efficiencies can yield VERY different power levels at identical boost levels, even on identical engines.

My Eclipse with a 16G turbo would probably run in the low 12s at 20psi. I've never run the boost that low at the track, so I don't know for sure. But with boost levels higher than that, I don't get as enormous difference in power as my race boost levels (between 25 and 30psi on any given run) might imply. So I only end up running 11.82 and 118mph or so.

With a larger turbo on the car, I could run even faster at a lower boost level. But I'd end up turning the boost up even more.

ok vtec settle down...its ok

**mrr23** · 01-11-2006, 05:08 PM

You got it, rusty pushrod.

**mrr23** · 01-11-2006, 05:23 PM

bacon has no pushrods. OHC yo.

ShapeGSX · 01-11-2006, 05:26 PM

That's ok, I don't have VTEC. Only boost.

**MikeSomething** · 01-14-2006, 07:07 AM

I'd love to see a "Rusty Pushrod" w/ 24psi run an Eclipse w/ the same... I don't really ever see any FBodies w/ Turbo systems and it seems to be the only thing a DSM GSX "Boosty" would ever have in their favor, Just my opinion.

Me too! I'm sure it would kick ass, if it could find any traction.
