You guys keep bringing my fellow New England Club DSM members (BTW, Matt just went 9.2 at the DSM shootout).

Perhaps I am bias, but I think that 4G63 has one of the best sounding four banger exhaust notes. This is especially true when you get aggressive cams. But a turbo has a lot to do with it.

 

[Scott Davis]

That does sound good! Those cams are pretty insane. I wouldn't want to drive that in LA traffic.

 

[Leon R]

What would you want to drive in LA traffic?

I've only ever flown threw LA so I never left the airport but if I had a choice seeing the LA traffic I would say a tank... First choice would be to fly over it though!!

I want something unique though...the tank thing has been tried !! (unsuccesfully too I might add)

Any idea what cams he's running? I don't believe the build thread mentioned. 272s maybe?

Also, how's the day to day driveability with these aggressive cams?

 

[Leon R]

HKS 272's are my favorite cams, but guys in the 9's go for more wild cams. Matt is running FP4rs (made by Force Performance). I wouldn't get those cams for a daily driver.

How streetable are HKS 272s?

 

[Leon R]

Very! The vacuum is slightly less, but you can definitely live with it!

 

[Scott Davis]

Some people say they can daily drive 280's but I wouldn't want to. Helps if you are bored and stroked.

I'm going with GSC S2's which I believe are 274's

I know it's a different engine but I ran 272 cams in my 3000gt vr4 when I built the car. I didn't daily drive the car only because it was low miles and I have a company truck but I easily could have. Car idled steady at 1100 rpm and it still was very lopey. I had some young guy try to make fun of me at a stoplight out cruising one night, I heard him say to the girl in his car that I was sitting their revving the engine to sound cool... I took off fast and with my angled exhaust I shot out a nice little flame(more like huge 3 foot flame haha) next stop light he tried asking me what was done to it but I rolled my window up on him!! Haha

Welcome to last week!

You had me for a minute...

The suspense is killing me.

Nice to be back online with you all :laugh: I couldn't get my daily fix of apex info while the forum was down

So if I was to purchase a 2g eclipse gs, how easy would it be to drop in a 4g63t? What would be needed in terms of electronics, ecu, harness, etc?

Is it possible to easily convert an auto to a manual?

If you buy a GS shell go on a DSM forum and buy the engine, transmission, engine harness, and ECU that you want...

If you use GS/RS body donor, it doesn't matter if it 5sp or Auto, you will be junking all of those parts, anyway.

Exactly, you might be able to part the car out, I know with the 3000gt and stealths there is a market for the non turbo stuff but they don't sell for much... Those non turbo parts might be worth more in scrap metal..
