My friend has a 97 Eclipse Turbo 5 speed with an intake and a blow off valve. I have a 98 Max Auto with a intake and am getting a y-pipe. How would we match up? Saying we both got good launches and were under the same conditions. Thanks in advance.

 

They can hit high-14's stock.

 

You will get hammered, especially if you are only running on 4 cylinders.

 

yea rich you won't stand a chance without those extra 2 cyl., your just a civic now

na i feel bad for you, i hope the whole ECU thing works out for you

 

eclipse will smoke you....will smoke you even more if he has raised the psi a little and if he has the gsx awd he'll have a lot more traction than you.

also, why do you only have 4 cylinders?

 

lol, everyone knows about my damn ECU problem now. I know I would get killed on the 4 cylinders, but at 6 would it be pretty close? him by a few cars maybe?

That sucks Rich...Hope everything gets better.

 

Thanks. I am taking the car to the mechanic on thursday so hopefully he and the insurance get it all figured out. Sucks being on 4 cylinders

 

If the eclipse is a GSX(awd turbo), then he will destroy you from the launch!!! My brother pulled a 1.9 60' with his 95 gsx 3 years ago when it was bone stock not even an air filter. From a roll, he will pull you but not as much as from a stop where he can rev to 5k and dump the clutch. GS-t on the other hand is FWD turbo with the same 4g63 powerplant. If it is a gst than you might have a chance but a very slim one. From a roll the fwd is a little better cause there is less drivetrain loss.

give it a shot though, it won't hurt. Just don't do it for money cause chances are you'll get smoked! real bad!

If you were 5speed it would be a much better race. From a roll you might even pull him if you were stick. I beat my friend's 90 talon tsi awd from a roll when he only had k&n, 13psi, and a fuel pump. I would pull a car from 40-85, still pretty close. But now he has full 3" turboback exhaust, 17psi and bov. He rapes me so bad now it's sick. I don't even try any more. In 3rd at 60mph, he pulls like 3-4 cars to 100mph. It's not even a comparison. lol

In a 98 auto, you'd have a hard time beating a turbo Eclipse. They are fairly fast.

 

Not sure if he is GSX or GS-T. I'll find out next time i talk to him. I wish I was 5 speed though . Guess I'll just have to get more performance mods...oh well

Thanks for the info.

Yea, he gave me a ride once. He wasn't that quick until he got into 3rd, where he really could take off. 1st and 2nd for him were pretty slow, I thought. That was before he had intake though.

 

i know for my 97 auto,1st and 2nd pull pretty hard but once i get to 3rd gear, around 90mph things slow down a lot.

 

I'm jst curious, can my 98 maxima, stock, smoke an 97 eclipse spyder with a full exhaust and an intake. They both automatics and my maxima hasn't been itself lately ...

 

dunno about if they are both autos, but if they were both 5 spd's it would be neck and neck, depending on who gets a better launch.

 

He is gs-t.
