Very light car, Full Fiber Glass Chassis, Full Drag slicks, More than Likely Running NOS ( like most Inferior American drag cars) = quick passes.

A 4cyl running 6s inferior? Got a bit of confusion there?

Loving the Pantera background music.

how does this work? i don't understand how a 2 litre 4 cylinder engine can get power like that!!!! please inform me lol

I owned a FWD Eclipse Turbo and an AWD Talon Turbo (same thing, different badge) and I can tell ya from experience that they are pocket rockets. They are a bit on the heavy side for their size, but they respond very well to modifications. I know for a fact you can get them into the 10-11sec area very easily. The 4G63 is a friggen amazing motor. Completely bulletproof. Same thing in the Evo and they aren't exactly slow. There is a video of a 4G63 powered Mighty Max pick-up truck floatin around on the internet too. Worth a look if you can find it.

like most Inferior American drag cars

That's a ridiculously ignorant statement by the way.

I wonder what parts that car has left on it that are factory eclipse

I've seen full interior Eclipse's running high 9's, but 6's are a long way away from 9's.

you really dont know whats been done to the motor.

a motor with smaller bores and a longer throw could still make 2L but result in a higher revving motor which could power a turbo that size.

and calling that thing an eclipse is like calling the pac performance drag car an mx6.

well: first you start with a truck-load of cash, and then....

Uhhh I dont think the amazing thing is that it was an Eclipse...

Its the fact they ran that sort of a time at that sort of an MPH with a 2L 4cyl engine that is unbelievably amazing.

Goes to show how impressive the American drag racing scene is when you think thats comparable to the times Signorelli is running with a 3L 6cyl 2J in his Camry...

Awesome, awesome car

Just curious, there are many people putting RB30 bottom ends onto RB25 or RB26 heads, but I've never heard of anyone replacing the 2 litre 4g63 with a 2.5 twin turbo from a Galant, why is that?

Holy Jesus that thing is nuts!

Imagine going for a spin to the shops for some milk and eggs in that thing!

Haha, like "7S AWD" or whatever it is?? John Shepherd's full chassis Mitsi Talon in the states, best time is 7.7s running a 4G63. Its far more like its original form than the HKS GTR or the Heat Treatments GTR.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
