lets review the stages completed to the STAGE 5 Setup they use
stage 1
We have achieved 275 HP @ 10 PSI boost with this turbosystem in Stage II intercooled form. Not bad for a 140 HP stock engine! This engine responds extremely well to boost.
Performance? Glad you asked. We have run mid 13 second ET's at over 100 MPH with the Stage II kit, using street tires and pump gas. The car was otherwise STOCK save for a GReddy exhaust! This signifies a three second, twenty MPH improvement over stock. And this ain't just no show pony, as my wife Lori and I have daily driven the car for the last year and a half, through –25 degree winters to 100-degree summers.
Next, we got a little more aggressive. A year of testing with Stage II was deemed enough. The time had come to up the ante.
stage 3
Stage III: By strengthening the engine with forged pistons and billet connecting rods, and installing larger 420cc injectors in conjunction with our PowerFuel module, fifteen PSI boost operation on pump gas became possible. We retained the stock ECU, which operates the 420CC injectors thru the assistance of our new PowerFuel module. Closed loop operation is maintained, and the factory ECU is quite content with this configuration, even though it is now driving injectors that are more than twice as large as the stockers!
Other additional modifications (over the Stage II iteration described above) included an upgraded clutch, lowered and modified front suspension, small 7" wide slicks, MSD ignition, and Profec B boost controller with steering wheel mounted remote.
All major fun, and very quick. This Stage III version is good for about 325 HP on pump gas. This is the ultimate setup for cars that are extensively street driven, yet it should still get a properly set up Eclipse RS into the high twelve second range.
But, the stage was now set for the final upgrades: Stages IV and V.
stage 4
Stage IV: Adding 625cc injectors and a programmable engine computer system (in place of the PowerFuel module) to Stage III resulted in Stage IV. The higher boost pressure allowed by the larger injectors and new computer (up to 30 PSI boost operation now available) is what enables Stage IV to produce 375 HP.
In its first ever outing in Stage IV trim, at the Diamond Star Nationals this past July 10, the Eclipse ran mid twelve's at over 110 MPH in 90 degree heat. Ultimately, Stage IV would run 12.30's at 115 MPH. This is all achieved using the same turbo and intercooler we ship with Stage I or II!
stage 5
Stage V: The car's current iteration is its most exciting yet. By adding a 20G compressor to the turbo, installing an Apexi front mount intercooler, and remapping the programmable fuel system, we created Stage V. Debuted at the Battle of the Imports at Rt. 66 Raceway this past August, the Stage V Eclipse boomed to an 11.92 second, 116-MPH debut. The next weekend, it went five rounds to the final at the NOPI Drag Wars at Union Grove Dragaway in the 12.00 bracket, with a runner-up finish. But the best was still in store: a modification to the wastegate actuator then allowed a 28 PSI boost level in high stage, and further testing brought out 11.70's at over 120 MPH, with the best blast being an 11.72 @ 122 MPH! Estimated HP is now 475.
fucking idiot. read what you link befor eyou link it.
Its a fully built race engine
