Talked to this guy tonight. He s ells parts over at groupbuycenter.com . He said he used to own an 01 CLS. Anyways he claims to have run a 14.3 on his new eclipse with only Injen intake and Greddy catback exhaust.

This doesn't soud nearly feasible to me. Any of you guys nore knowledgable about this car?

 

The guy is completely full of shit.

 

Yeah he is!

 

He is just BSing...But it is a quick car just not that quick

 

Now where is that thing????



Oh...


There it is....

 

bee ess

 

I can do low 14s too in my audi :o

 

I think he meant 15.3 lol

 

ya


only if a porsche turbo rear ends your car at 155mph

 

 

I can do 14.3 in my VW, with just intake and chip, so why not an Audi :-)

 

My 3HP B&S minibike can do high 13's if that POS Egg-Lipps can do low 14's...

Fact!

 

ya


but he drives a stock a4


stock 1.8t a4=slowdi, not audi

 

Oh I agree, Audi's and the Passat are way to heavy for the 1.8T, but mad comfy!

 

 

 

Dang . . I need to go back to the track and check my times again. I bet I'm running 14 flat for sure.

It's VERY unlikely he could rip off a 14.3 second ET even with the best I/E avail for the Eclipse GTS; now if he had a 1st or 2nd gen Eclipse GST it's very possible, if not likely.

Peace.

 

thats like saying a auto cl-s w/ intake and headers can run 14.2


BS


lol

 

someone get their times right

 

YEAH OK. LOL!

 

Sounds a wee bit too quick.

 

I can run 12 flat in my g/f's 95 lumina.........














0-60 that is..... hahaha

 

modded 2nd gen GSX can do 14.3.

 

they can do alot better than that...

 

no turbo, no fast

 

see what 2f2f has done...

 

I meant with light modding.

Some are in the 11s.

 

(waiting for this thread to be posted on an Eclipse board)

I think there was a V6 Eclipse owner on the racing forums running better than that. Had more bolt-ons though.

 

I ran a 14.6@95.xx with a crappy 2.3 60 ft last time out in my A4 1.8T Hopefully tonight will be better, especially since it's going to be COLD!

 

i'm just busting his chops


i'm actually looking at an a6 2.7T 4 myself


i wuz wondering if you knew what type of mods do they hav 4 that car besides chips and turbo upgrades? also, will all the engine mods that work on the s4 work on the a6 2.7t?

 

Hey asshole, but you have an upgraded turbo, mr I have an upgraded turbo. ahaha

Tonight might be the night you finally beat me! Actually now that the car is tuned you should smoke me as you always start pulling on me towards the end. Better bring your bike helmet just to be safe!

Stock the car was relatively slow!

yeah I'm just busting yours...as Ferizzo so elequently pointed out, my car is a bit modded. Yeah, you can do anything for the A6 as you can for the S4. There are plenty of chips out there to choose from, exhuasts, down pipes, short shifters, suspensions, brakes etc. A chip, exhuast, downpipes should get you in the 320-350 hp range with 370-400 lb ft tq. For more than that, you need to try a turbo upgrade to get in the 400-450 hp range. They are kinda pricey and very labor intensive. I believe most shops find they have to pull the engine to get at the turbos. IF you are looking at 2.7T engines, look to see if they have the updated oil return lines from the turbos. I believe this was the cause of the somewhat frequent turbo faliures in these engines. I believe they were changed after a certain build date from the factory, but I would get them updated if they aren't already. Good luck.

here are some sites to help you think mods.

haha...I just caught that reference

hmmmm...I am no math major, but doesn't a 14.6 beat a 15.2? haha....just kidding. I think the car definitely feels faster now than before, but I'm just worried about getting out of the hole. I didn't like how the clutch felt the last few times I luanched hard. I will probably start out conservatively and see how things are. I will be happy with just about any improvement.

As for you, I will bring my bleeder/tire pressure valve....you will definitely need to bring the pressure down tonight.
