Deftec how far are you from Fort Riley? My gurl is going to be stationed there and I mave move that way soon as well, to be with her of course.

2jz engines = dyno queens

only if you make it into one.

[CRyan]

2jz engines = dyno queens

I'm sorry - but I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

The 2JZ is a phenomenal engine, knowing to put out 800 ponies with the stock bottom end. . .probably more, but that number is what I recall seeing last.

I don't believe an engine can be considered a dyno queen. I believe it depends on the car its in.

Now - that said - I think it being in the Supra, it points in every direction to "dyno queen" Heavy car. And I've yet to see a Supra that handles that well. . .

In a 240, yes could be dyno queen - but oo the possibilities.

And no I'm not trying to start any kind of argument, because in a way - yes you are right. . .But like I said, I really think it depends on the car it is in.

[White Comet]

true but they are more commonly dyno queens

[efrain240sx]

" The 2jz is why you have so many dyno queens these days. Even if you make 1000whp, supras are useless on street tires tires. you need slicks just to move forward in a supra when making over 600whp" - Eric Hsu

Eric Hsu is a ***

[White Comet]

true they do have traction issues w/ that hp what what fr wouldnt

[efrain240sx]

Eric Hsu is a ***

yeah that is true. I think he is a snobby @ss, but he does know how to build some bad @ss cars

[idahotuner]

haha i have the only 240 in my town, it is sweet. therer are liek 5 stis and a couple fo eclipses and one kid that says he is going to ut a h22 motor in his civic sedan and turbo it . haha yea right. my 240 rules

[White Comet]

good stuff, ive noticed we have the same opinions on car stuff a lot of the time and was wondering ur opinion on dsms

[idahotuner]

i am a little confused by the term dsm tell me exactly what it means and i will give you my opinon

[White Comet]

diamond star motors, eclipse, talon, laser

[duffman1278]

What an idiot!! everyone knows it stands for Design Structure Matrix haha jk wtf does it mean??

[CRyan]

good stuff, ive noticed we have the same opinions on car stuff a lot of the time and was wondering ur opinion on dsms

Who might you be asking. . .if me

DSM = cranky walk.

LOL - But in all seriousness - I bought a 92 Plymouth Lazer back when I was a sophomore in highschool for 50 bucks. I fixed it, got it running (turbo lock and cam gear exploded, along with bent valves, etc) and it was a great little car. . .

Until the slightly new stock turbo locked up. Again. I've got nothing against the enthusiasts, but I swear if I have to hear one more eclipse (N/A) decide to rev up at me with the tinging noises passing through the exhaust, I'm going to punch a baby (Dane Cook btw, its a joke)

[idahotuner]

The awd eclipse 1997 is the only one i like. other then that , they are a chick car. i put them in the same boat as honda civic.

I like your style good sir.

[White Comet]

haha i got the dane cook reference right away. yeah my feeling is dsm= suck

[idahotuner]

well thank you my good man

[CRyan]

haha i got the dane cook reference right away. yeah my feeling is dsm= suck

I have yet to see that. Thats awesome!

Soon enough they'll make a digital read out for ford saying *Aquired problem 100 percentile. . .It is circled on your hood and we colored it blue for you*

Put the kind of money into a dsm that it would take to do an sr swap and your talking about some serious times... ive seen one do 11`s with a clutch,race gas, and a boost controller.

Ryan

[idahotuner]

lol true that. i allwasy though dsm was like domesticly sold market and included calvilers and sh*t. the ony one is the 97 awd eclipse

[White Comet]

true about the 97 awd but i dont like the looks and they have too amny probs for me to overlook.

Ryan

Was it purple?!?!? LOL only kidding.

But I would honestly love to see it. Any boosted car that will allow leaded fuel be fed to it consistently w/o fuel system upgrade(s) has award winner written all over it.

But I'm defiently not COMPLETELY knocking them. As stated above, that model (besides one of the Talon's) stated is an excellent car. But the mitsu engine IMO won't last long when pulling an eleven second time slip.

[idahotuner]

that is why i will never get one.

Ryan

true but the initial cost of an awd turbo eclipse is more than teh initial cost of a 240. total price including cars 240 would be faster

[CRyan]

S13 w/ no engine or transmission - $500SR20DET swap - roughly $3000Misc tune, ebay FMIC, bc etc - ROUGHLY $1800.*Total* $5,600Laughing at the kid that decides to buy an 1999 GSX Eclipse for $6,500. Priceless.

I probably have my calculations wrong - but by time you BUY the GSX, you could have already had yourself a 250+ hp car compared to the GSX's 190awhp (210 to flywheel)

[White Comet]

my 89 hatch kept up w/ a fwd turbo eclipse, and i have a witness to prove it

[CRyan]

Its N/A isn't it?

Glad to know the 240 is making a stand somewhere - I got pwn'd by a frikkin passat today. Wasn't anything major.

But god, seeing the old woman wave as she flew by really hurt in the soft spot
