53299, What times could I expect??
Posted by 95 Eclipse, Jun-16-03 06:56 PM
I have a 95 eclipse n/t. Its mostly stock right now.
I plan on(after more research)building a motor. The way its looking right now, 20 over 11.5:1 Comp., rods, cams, P&P head, bigger TB and Fuel rail/injectors, nitrous, (I already have a header and exhaust), etc. (and all the upgrades that go along with it, fuel system, suspension,etc.) I'm not sure on what brands yet. I will also be getting rid of A/C, power steering and anything else not needed.
I plan on putting the car on a serious diet, to include but not limited too: "glass" doors, hood, hatch, dash,(I already have glass fenders and body kit, with no bumpers) All speedglass windows, except windshield(well maybe), its 50% lighter than the glass. No carpet, back seat, radio,amps, speakers, and anything else I can think of.

I'm new to fuel inj. computerized 4cyl. cars (I'm used to Carburated V-8's) but was moreless told I would/could not get a "streetable" non-turbo eclipse running in the 12's.

I'm looking for some opinions on estimated 1/4 mile times, and some direction as far as good parts and what brand names are good.

Thanks for any imput or info.

you can get a streetable non turbo into the 12's using nitrous or putting a turbo in it, i dunno about all motor though

Thier are too many variables to give you a estimation. Suspention, trans, and driver ability are all a factor. If you going all motor have the short block stroked. they will be doing strokers at VT soon so give them a call. vtengines.com
