The engine is FINALLY ALIVE! She ran for the first time and 8:42pm EST. 80PSI oil pressure at idle, 120PSI fuel pressure, all is good. Sorry to pollute the 200 forum, but heck, what a great feeling it is bringing a year long project back to life! Plastigauge is great, first time I've used it, but it told me what I had to know.
The Eclipse should be ready to go to the tuner early next week. Target is 360WHP, a 2x+ increase from the factory 103WHP from the factory 16 valve 2.4L four banger!
Oh, yes, new slugs, new aftermarket rods, larger valves, T3 AR60/48trim, Turbocoupe intercooler, and so on. If anyone is interested, I can post pics, but I hate to eat up Jarrod's hard drive space with Mitsu stuff!
Sorry folks, I get a little "wild" when a project nears its end!

From: Flourance Traore.
Email: flora1com@ubbi.com
Abidjan Cote d' ivoire West Africa.
Greetings in the name of the Almighty, and may his grace continue to assist
you and I, as you open your heart in helping me out of this unbearable situation of my family disaster. Please give me this Godly help for our Almighty will reward you in abundant. It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country, though I have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of Million U.S dollars ($6,500,000.00) which my late
Father kept with a Fiduciary Fund Holder here in Abidjan the Capital of
Cote d’Ivoire before his death.
Now I have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe
enough outside Africa for security and political reasons. I want you to help me claim and retrieve this fund from the Fiduciary Fund Holders and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes. I am Miss Flourance Traore, the Daugther of late Colonel Bakassa Traore who died on after he was badly tortured by the security agents of the present goverment of president Laurent Gbagbo of the Republic of Cote D\\\'Ivoire for honouring the invitation to a dinner by the French Ambassador with his two colleagues, after the dinner they were arrested by the security agent of the present regime and was accussed of being traitors to their motherland knowing the political problems between Cote d\\\'Ivoire and France.
They were tortured and detained for several hours after they were released
immediately he was rushed to the hospital where his private doctor battled
to save his life but he died 4 days later on sunday 3 july 2005 for
verification you can see for your self this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4649533.stm
My father knowing he won,t survive called all of us by his dying bed and
instructed us to leave the country to Ghana where we are presently as our
country Cote d\\\'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is no longer safe for us, Our Mother
died 3 months later as a result of the heart attack she suffered during the
news of the death of my father and I have to escape from Ghana now to Cote
d’Ivoire in respect of this money and no one knows my whereabout here as I
am in hiding place now at a Church with the help of one Pastor.
If you can be of an assistance to me I will be pleased to offer to you 20%
of the total fund for your assistance to me.
I am wait your soonest response.
Respectfully yours,
Miss Flourance Traore.

Sorry to pollute the 200 forum
Then don't.
but I hate to eat up Jarrod's hard drive space
Then don't.
No offense, John, I'm sure It's a nice car. But could we please keep the Brickboard about Volvos?

Sounds scary fast, John. You should talk to my cousin - he took his turbo Eagle Talon and has spent rediculous amounts of money on building it as a tire shredder. I can't recall all he's done but I do remember such insanity as a kevlar timing belt.
He got the fuel computer chipped so he could remap with his laptop, he's busy tuning it in but estimates it's just shy of 400whp now. I'll see him this weekend, can't wait to go for a ride.

Sean:
This car has never been "scary", well, er, uh, except when the engine grenaded due to a failed injector while running 10PSI of boost! The early Talons are absolute monsters from the get go, a 2000 4 Cylinder Eclipse is more like a Ford Escort performance wise from the factory.
That being said, this engine was never designed to be boosted, I boosted it at 10PSI for 3 years, and it finally blew. Now I have done my best to build the bottom end and head to deal with the 15+ PSI boost. If all works out, with 10PSI of air in the front tires, I'm expecting a 5.5Sec 0 to 60 time. Please note, I'm not into quarter mile times, but rather a monster that handles well and can be "steered/controlled" by the gas pedal to get the road course job done!
Once this job is done and proven on the track, the next project will be the B230/B234 clone boosted engine for the 92 245! I can hardly wait, especially considering that the 245 handles better than the Eclipse!

Will do later today... just a couple more pieces of "bling" to put on it. BTW, this one does NOT reach the level of our 245... so don't get too excited!

S-P-H:
Sorry, I agree with the gruntled poster, this is not a "Volvo" issue. However, this setup is so similar to what I'm building for the new B230FT that it is highly applicable. In order to save Jarrod's HD space and bandwidth, here is a single link to a single off-site pic of the turbo setup. Hope this doesn't tick too many folks off!
Also note, that when I first posted this message, I was full of adrenaline... after spending so much time and effort on a project, hearing "Frankenstein" come to life just lit my "geek" fuse! Had to share my joy!

Sounds scary fast ... AWD ? ... whats "W" hp. ?
|
|

Jac912:
Sorry, no, I wish it was AWD, this car is a 2000 GS Eclipse so it is strictly FWD.
The "W" in "WHP" stands for Wheel, ie. how much power the car can actually put on the road.
At 200WHP, this car did 0 to 60 in 5.98 Seconds, I am very curious to find out what the "goal 360WHP" will do! I suspect traction will seriously limit improvements (being FWD), but heck, I built this car to be a road race machine... not a drag racer! I'm still working to set up track time at VIR so that a comparison can be made.
Thanks for the reply!
