vehicle comparison ford lightning vs eclipse turbo

My 1999 gst has a 6-bolt motor swap, 2g head, 850cc injectors, big 16g turbo, big front-mount intercooler, side-mount oil cooler, walbro fuel pump, HKS 272 cams, 1g rods, 2g pistons, bored 20 over, MAF translator, DSM link with laptop, extreme weight reduction, after-market shocks and springs, ported and polished engine, intake and exhaust manifold ported and polished, after-market air intake, 3 inch full exhaust, 3 piece 18" racing wheels, 3 piece strut support bars, manual and automatic turbo boost controller, Greddy blow-off valve, and 1g big fuel body. What horse-power am I looking at. and how does it compare to a lightly modified Ford Lightning?

Re: vehicle comparison ford lightning vs eclipse turbo

Hold on a sec, just let me grab my pocket dyno and my Lightning out of my garage and I'll tell you lol.
.............................
In all seriousness, the only way to know is to actually dyno it, since each car reacts differently (according to mileage, how hard it was driven, how it was maintained, etc.). Plus you didn't even tell us what kind of settings you have DSM link on. I'd say maybe a bit over 300hp if tuned properly, but again, I don't know the history of your car. Also, "aftermarket" could be a range of power... uh... welcome to the forums

Re: vehicle comparison ford lightning vs eclipse turbo

Your running 3,026 hp and 6 bagillion torque...but the Lightning will still beat you, because you made a bench racing thread.

Read the rules.

Build on hold until I get a good paying job, either in school or once I get out. At that time a full tear down and complete rebuild should be in order.

The Purple People Eater will ride again... January 2011 can't come soon enough.
