Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Don't mind the title of the thread. It's for attention and just a goal to keep us going.

More pix from progress..................................

History:

Well we bought the Spyder with a built 2.0L 4G63T. The car ran great while it lasted.
Than one day my bro took it out for a spin on the streets and came upon a brand new STI that came off the show floor. The STI wanted to play around so my brother couldn't resist.
Well story....My brother beat him easily, but the wastegate vacuum line fell off and this happened.

So now the car is sitting at Modern Automotive Performance (MAP) in Plymouth Minnesota.
It's getting a new heart as you are reading this.

Here is the car before the incident.

So stay tuned and I'll update as the project progresses.
The whole project should be done by next year. So we're going to try to be at the first Sport Comp Day.

Thanx to Chris and Kyle for keeping me updated and being patient with us.

Our Goal: To build the fastest Eclipse Spyder that will stay FWD. :P

On a side note i love those rims, they look like there from the factory.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Good luck, and maybe zip tie/clamps on vacuum hoses FTW!!?

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

So that was your car I saw there. Sweet!

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

I too saw the car there. Those goals might be a bit high, but if you have the funding, go for it.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Yeah, it's high...but it keeps the car going. Cause if the goal was to go for a 13 or something...it would be lame..IMO anyways.

Thanx all.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

That's JimWross's old car. Those ND cars sure get passed around.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

weren't more than half of them yours?

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

JimWross purchased that car from my best friend who purchased it from a rebuildable car dealer in St. Charles, MN. That car is a former theft recovery vehicle out of Chicago if I remember correctly.

Hm, this is very interesting. I will be very interested in seeing how this project progresses, especially since its a convertible. Not trying to rag on ya'll or anything, I have just never really liked Spyders. But I am very interested to see how this turns out for you, and good luck! Keep us posted!

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Well it looks like im not the only one going for this goal. I too want to build the fastest spyder. Fastest Ive seen with a time slip is like 12.5 which is pretty weak IMO. Good luck!

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

I still haven't figured out why someone would make a drag car out of a convertible. Especially one that needs serious chassis strengthening even for the stock horsepower.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

I like the convertible......who expects a convertible to be fast. Especially an Eclipse Spyder in FWD form. I know it's probably not going to be anywhere as quick as if it was in an AWD chassis, but I'm sure going to have fun while being fast. I think it's going to be a nice feeling with the top down....and knowing you have lots of power on tap.
We could've easily just did a 2.4L in my brothers 92 TSI, but we figured since this one needed a rebuild now.....this one would be a perfect sleeper.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Don't you guys have Jacek's old Talon? If so, you have 2 cars with Iowa roots; scary shit right there.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Yeah we do....damn you're scary yourself. haha.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

The pigeons are making everything dirty.....haha.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

More pictures should be added here!!!

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Holy mother of God, I hope your putting a GT45R on there to use that porting job, that's one hell of a d-port. Best of luck to ya.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

IT'S JUSTIN'S OLD NX!!!!! Oh how I miss that thing

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

that thing was teh shit, stupid fuck went to moosestangs!! oh well

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Car looks familiar....

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

haha, sr20. That kid's mustang looked like ass! Haha, i didnt know you knew him.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Good luck with the car, looked pretty sweet when I saw it at MAP! And I think a FAST Spyder would be one hell of a sleeper, and a really fun car.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Stumbled upon this page again, and just wanted to add some numbers.

The car made 598whp on c16 and then the trans let go on the dyno. So we had to work a couple things around. We converted it over to awd and then went back on the dyno. This time with E85.
The car made 560awhp and 426 ft-lb. We maxed out the injectors so we turned it back down to 470awhp for the moment. Until we get the new fuel system in there so we can max out E85.

Lots of things to do this year. New fuel system, get rid of the smoking precision turbo, put the car on a diet and give it some better rubber.

I probably won't be bumping this thread again........till... :P

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Good luck, shame about not keeping it FWD, there is some guy WI doing a FWD, not spyder though.

Work fast, i know i want to see the end result.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Wow those are some nice numbers. What kind of fuel pump and fuel line setup are you running? Have the 2g awd tank in there?

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Yeah, we wanted it to be FWD, till the trans let go. So than we had to options. Buy a Shep FWD trans or convert to AWD.
So we were lucky to find a 2G GSX shell for about $1000 and so we picked the whole thing up from a yard. The exterior was a bit rusty and dirty from sitting for ages.
Turns out the trans and everything shifts and operates perfectly. So here we are with that.

Stock 2G AWD fuel tank, stock fuel lines, and a single Walbro 255lph fuel pump.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

I'm not a huge fan of the convertible but am digging the awd swaps in them. Sick numbers too! Looks like a lot of fun.
Btw, was that 1g up for sale this summer? I couldve sworn I saw one just like it in the cl, and when I tried to contact the person to buy it, I could never get ahold of them. Oh well, sick spyder though.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Sick car and sick power.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Nice graph, so smooth :)

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Thanks for the good comments.

Yeah, I found the 1G on craigslist. Bought it in Willmar MN.
The lady upgraded to a newer Monte Carlo, so wanted to get rid of the 1G. It's pretty clean for a MN car.

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

Nice looking spyder :D . What turbo are going with now?
Tell Seng I said hi from Deejay (The other Seng)

Re: Lor and Seng's Project (Goal: Fastest Eclipse Spyder FWD)
 

We are not sure at the moment. We're going to tear everything apart soon to find out what's smoking.

Yeah, I'll tell him.
