I just sold my 95 GSX and was thinking of buyng a 4g. I was looking at rippmods and they were talking about a new header for the 4G. will the clutch and drive train hold up to any mods? is this motor good, or will it take a dump like the 4G63 2g?How much power has been put in to this car? Can you use a SAFC on this car to tune with?

the motor is more reliable because its not a dsm 
But about turbo and such, i do think someone makes a turbo kit for it, so it must be able to handle a little pressure.
From what i hear, those cars are fatties, and well...theyre just kinda heavy, so it takes a lot of energy to move a big car like that. Ive never been in a stock one so i dont know how fast they are

I dumped my 2g cause it would take about 15 Gs to get it to where I wanted it: 500 HP.

I hope you don't think the 4g or any other N/A car will be cheap to make it perform. How did you get that amount anyway? It would cost me half and still less than that to get my car to 500hp.
NVM, I see that your 4g63 took a dump on you. So, you're adding parts and rebuild. Sorry to hear about that.
..but seriously, like Jeff said, 4Gs are pigs. Not really a bad thing, but for performance, it doesn't help.

the 4g gt has ran high 13's stock already...the 4g eclipse has more potential then people think. Its a baddass car with turbo and superchargers already available for it.

The 4g eclipse are fast consider they are FWD and because of that they spin off the line, so without suspension mods to get much better number in the 1/4 you need to do them, also there is no bolt turbo yet, but there is a SC that is bolt on, Trust me I have the same motor on my galant and have been looking for mods, and there are some out to get you to about 400-450 WHP, but without suspension mods, your 1/4 mile isn't gunna get to much better due to the fact that you are jsut gunna spin more, but check out http://www.club4geclipse.com/forum25.html&sid=62d97cb28d677de811b1f3c999cd0fa3 to get the info you are looking, but it is a good place to start if you are looking for a monster, also you may wanna wait and see if the do the eclipse ralliart, there is strong talks from the dealer that they might make it, and it would be AWD, but might be less HP then the evo just have to wait and see.
