Good/Great tunes are made possible by the engine management. I don’t know what is out there for the 3G eclipse but I am willing to bet anything affordable is not going to give you precise control to ensure those precious NA internals are staying intact. Too lean, kaboom… To rich and you are not making much more power than stock… Just my 2 cents… ---

That FMIC is huge, damm wont the pressure drop/lag be fairly high with that? Just a thought. My car has 10:1 comp ratio and its turbo from the factory, very small turbo though. Good tune and don’t get too greedy and I think it will be fine. ---

yea…its been a pain in the ass, but it should be all done tomarrow with a mild base tune from an safc(well the best we can do) and then tom is going to give innovative a call, but it seems to be going ok minus a few setbacks we have had, but ive done all the research on this motor and it seems to hold up with 9psi with a good tune, and thats all tom wants for now. but intense98rt will have to bring his camera over to get some better pics by the way nick…im not 97neon anymore ---

yea, 9psi is PLENTY doable on this engine , stock blocks take up to 13psi easily… donny from aai was at one point putting 17psi into a stock shortblock ---

even if the motor blows up, there certainly is a pretty big aftermarket for 4g63/4g64 internals and headwork. he already has the 4g64 block… he could easily get bottom end stuff for it, use a dohc 4g63 head, and have a pretty nice setup. imho 12psi is way too much to run if you want that motor to hold together. believe me, i know from experience. if it were my setup, i would run 7-8psi MAX with stock internals. good luck, and :tup: to improving your setup. ---

how can you swap the 4g63 head on the 4g64?? ---

Good tune and don’t get too greedy and I think it will be fine. 16g will be on by end of summer - we’ve got the egt and everything and mike ick are doin very good - i was away for 2 days on family business and they still kept on goin w\ the car :tup: guys the GTS has a 10:1 retaio The GS (my car) i believe is 9:1, and 9 psi will be just fine. Stock daily drivers are running 13-15 right now. Have been for over a year on some guys’ cars. [www.neweclipse.org](http://www.neweclipse.org) will provide much more info. - The rods are 2g rods and the pistons hold steady at 15. the reason im going w\ 9 is safetly, if i spike or creep up to 12…13… ill be okay. Im going to have innovative tune it so i know it’ll be a good tune. I dont expect anythign crazy from her this summer, but its a start 😃 ---

yeah that front mount is an over kill, it is going to sufficate the turbo to push air throught that thing. I would go to a smaller FMIC. ---

I would go to a smaller FMIC. well i know its not goint to be a restriction … its to big to be one, and i admitt its gonna add to lag some because the turbo has to fill it, but what else am i missing ? what makes it so bad ?
