What do you guys think about this? doing it for a friend, racing a cobra who thinks mitsu's are slow. i know i'm still stock turbo but i believe i'm pushing at least 235-240 with my mods.

As much as I hate mustangs and as much as I don't want to say it but that cobra will blow the doors off of your eclipse.

well, the best i can do is try right.

Honestly I hope you do beat him cause I hate that car. It takes the fun out of building your engine but good luck man you're gonna need it.

well, like i said, i got my boost up to 17 and it feels like a completely different car. yanks back hard in second. and i'm working my launch really hard. even if he out cars me maybe i can out drive him. if he thinks eclipses are slow i wouldn't expect him to know how to drive.

Sorry man, the Cobra is probably gonna take you.
What else do you have done to get the 235/240 hp???

210 stock, so the underdrive pulley (mach 5, good one) free's up at least 5. full down pipe and exhaust (3") about 10 or so. and boosting 17PSI, another 5 or 10. intake plugs wires (3-6)
so i figured threw my mods i gained at least, bottom line 20HP, that puts me at 230. and i've got kuhmo supra tires (225) huge help on the launch. i hope to be in the high 13's.
but, the only way to find out is to run it i guess.

that cobra's also pushing 390hp and only weighs about 300 or 400 pounds more than your eclipse.

well your car runs like mid to low 15's stock and it's FWD, with just those mods I don't think you're gonna break into high 13's.

he is a country boy he prolly cant drive fast cars that well lol

not saying i "WILL" do it, i'm saying my car CAN do it. i have to gain complete controll of it first.

go to the pinned section of the 1/2g cars, and look at what attack posted about "noobs need to know" or something like that. its a link to moding the 2g. with mods that i have (excluding the downpipe, which helps a lot) i should be 13.5-13.9. but its all speculation til it hits the track.

all i'm doing is trying to put a cocky kid to bed. even if i don't win and come in close on his a$$ he has to live with barely beating a "stock turbo" gst.
what would happen to him when a medium modified gsx rolls up.

thats what i want to have race is a gsx doesnt belive me that the jump off the line fast as hell but if u beat or keep up with him he will know a gsx will beat him

I think you would need AWD to beat him

well I'm guessing that this same topic is basically being covered in 2 different posts and didn't you say that this kid wants to do this in his mom's car? I mean listen even if you lose at least you have the dignity of not having to ask your mother for her car keys everytime you wanna go out for a ride.

LOL thats true if u didnt see other post i had about him he says he could beat a GSX off the line in his 78 or 79 for 4x4 in 4 low but as i have said not very smart kid when it comes to tuner cars

lol yea ok that 4x4 would get smoked so bad.

Hey i have a friend who has a fully built gs-t pushing right around 340hp has nitious in it it for the just incase he is kinda laughing at the idea...St augustine area if the kid wants a money race he is down he says otherwise tell the kid to take mommy her car back lol....and he says that with 250 u can give him a shot..if he thinks u to slow he might tromp on it get a good jump cause he will spin the rear

I just saw this thread. Lewiman, i hate to tell you this, but with those mods you are yet to hit 200 whp. 2nd, you can't get 17 psi out of the t-25, and if you continue to run more than the 14 psi that turbo can handle it will be a short matter of time before teh turbo dies. Even if he doesn't know how to drive, he will win.

^^^ Dude I love you signature!

I got nothing against cobras...i've seen what they can do at the track...that car will rip you another @sshole...sorry man...but you need a lot more than just a t25 pushing 17psi.
