SPEED GOOOD!!!!!!
My Info:1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Star Turbo
This web site is dedicated to the addicts of the need for speed!!!!!

Welcome,  to the web site to one of the worst addicts of the speed induced adrenalin rush junkies on the planet.  I've molested my 1997 Mitsubishi  Eclipse GS so much that almost committed myself to an insane asylum.  There is not too many areas on the car that haven't been modded in one way or another.  I love being able to fabricate homemade brackets, cooling vents or anything that makes me keep the creative juices flowing.  I normally get ideas from something and expand from there like a painter on a fresh canvas.  Example:  cutting air vents into the wheel liners in the front to utilize the two side vents in the front bumper. and my fav. was seeing King of Imports, Chris Paisley and other Supra draggers to mod the right headlight for Ram Induction. Have done that now for two local Supra owners who are running close to 700rwhp. as a street car.  INSANE!!!!!!  Anyways on with the mods to my little beast......

NEW DSM Club in Atlanta!!!!!!

As of Sat. 9/1/200 Georgia DSM club is born.  We accept all DSMesque vehicles into the family and all others to have fun and hang out.  Their are group discounts available at a couple of  local Mitsu. dealers for members as well as discounts at a local tune and dyno shop, Engineered Performance and discounts at Dynolab.  For more info visit click on the above link.

And as far as my veh. has gone I have had to finally rebuild my motor. Too many times overboosted and cracked the ring lands on the pistons, but no other damage done. It is now equiped with:
Wiesco 8.5:1 Forged Pistons (stock bore)
Total Seal gappless rings
fresh bearings,belts and seals
Venom fuel injectors supposed to be big but arent even close. but better than stock.(for sale)
Factory upgraded MLS head gasket(very good)

I have recently dynoed and tuned and to my dismay from changing compresion, and still not delivering enough fuel I didn't get the numbers I should see but I have been able to keep up the boost now to 10lbs. all the time. 

My current dyno as follows:
10.5 lbs of boost 216 hp with 208ft.lbs of torque
15.5 lbs of boost 236 hp with 212ft. lbs of torque
Will be getting new injectors soon!!!!
Unfortunate surcumstances have occured and the vehicle is no longer existent. COMING SOON..... 1G AWD Eclipse....
