hmm who knows a intake mani that gives some hp gains i just want my intake and **** done now
Did the rx-7 know you were racing?? I find it hard to believe that an rx-7 can get "killed" by a n/a eclipse.

The third gen v6 eclipse in a 2nd gen body would be in the low 15s to possibly high 14s the best car and driver ran was a 15.6 stock but the body is close to 3200 pounds the lightest 2nd gen was near 2800 pounds so that motor has so move in it its just the weight that is killing the car

1st gen eclipse, talon 89-94 are pretty fast cars, With $1000 of BPU you can easly reach the 13 sec time slips.
In my opinion the 4G63 is one of the most boost friendly motors ever built, behind the supra TT bottom end.

the 4G63 has nothing to do with Chrysler!
I'm talking TURBO model, not a base POS your sister drives. John Sheperds street driven Talon ripped off a career best 9.31 two weeks ago in San Antonio!
What are you going to tell me next? Ari Yallon races a 20b in his FD!

I've taken 1G GST's before with my `86 N/A. The guy was running 15psi of boost and I spanked him. The kid still doesn't admit to it, but every time he shifted he lost ground and every time I shifted I pulled farther away from him. Stupid boingers....
Then again, Brent Rau is a friend of mine and his 7.9 second eclipse will spank me in reverse.
Unless we ran for a mile or so and then he'd smoke his engine. 42psi of boost'll do that to ya.

dude, you should be hammering NA eclipses. you should even be almost keeping up with GST's(around stock booost)
get a turboII, we dominate alot of stuff.
maybe your friend just had a bad race.. hell, i lost to an NA mk4 supra one time due to my bad launch and missing 3rd gear, so alot of reaces can go either way depending on how bad you **** up.
