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!
