Okay...someone has seen a little bit too much Fast and the Furious. Hehehe...just kidding. We don't get the Mitsubishi Eclipse here in NZ...but we do get the Lancer Evolutions, which pack the same 4g63 2lt turboed motor (though in a small 4WD Sedan body). Actually, thats the motor I'm planning on slinging into my Galant GTi soon. Veil-Side makes some nice kits for the Eclipse, as does BoMex and Jap 'tuning-house' 5-Zigen. Its amazing the kinda power you can extract from the 4g63...here in NZ there are a number of EVOs running 9s over the standing quarter...one guy from my Mitsubishi Motor Club has a dragracing EVO that is punching out over 650bhp AT ALL FOUR WHEELS...eeeeek...runs a mid 9sec standing quarter and is currently the fastest EVO in Australasia. 800hp at the flywheel of a 4g63 is not that much of a problem. Big problem is finding a gearbox able to put that kinda grunt to the ground without spitting itself all over the track...this guy having just lunched 3 gearboxes in about as many weeks. Heres the url for the guy, Andre Simon...who owns and operates one of the meanest Performance Mitsubishi Tuning Garages around here, 'SpeedTech'...which has produced so far the fastest Galant VR4 in Australasia, as well as the fastest Lancer GSR in Australasia...and one crazy 11sec Toyota Corolla: http://www.speedtechnz.com/prodocile.php  |
