91 Eclipse GSX Restore/Rebuild 1000 hp goal - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Epic Tuning · 10-06-2009, 02:27 PM

Here is a 1991 Eclipse GSX that we stripped down, sent to paint, and now we are in the process of putting it back together. We are doing custom suede interior panels and building the car to handle 1000hp. The turbo set-up will be redone for next season. Check back for updates.

Wow sweet 1g! This is a car you can say, Damn that is clean! Nice work.

Whats the engine hiding in it?

Epic Tuning · 03-18-2010, 04:18 PM

UPDATE!! Customer decided to change direction with the build and now would like to make 850-1000hp! The engine is coming back out and getting a full rebuild. Stay tuned in the next couple weeks for more updates.

SniperGrl · 06-17-2010, 02:28 PM

Oil feed from the head? Not sure if I agree with that.

Pretty engine bay...can't believe owner wants to rip it apart again already!

I don't think it's much of a debate. If you call up a company like Forced Performance or any other turbo manufacturer they'll tell you to run a ball bearing turbo from the head and a journal bearing turbo from the OFH.

Car looks great though. Can't wait to see what it does.

Goddabob · 06-24-2010, 11:17 PM

I saw this car in person and the attention to detail is top notch.

You guys should post some pictures of the dash.

Evojm27 · 09-16-2010, 01:08 AM

Saw this in person when i picked up my evo super duper sexy

TalonTsi97 · 09-16-2010, 01:11 AM
