I state I have a 4g64 cause people don't know what the heck a g4cs block is. I had www.qprinc.com build the block for me. Eagle rods, 8.8:1 wiseco forged pistons with teflon side skirts, arp head studs torqued to 100 ftlbs with 4g64 head gasket, using dsmlink to disable random misfire code when you use the 1g cas. I love this motor, off boost low end torque is great for city driving.

Here is a video of the 7 bolt 2.4l 664whp GSX from the list http://www.straightlinespecialties.com/video/Shane10.4.wmv


Nice vid! My goal is 600awhp with my g4cs and high 10's on pump gas street driven. That car appears to do both except better, Nice. Props from me

I've got eagle rods and arp head/main studs as well sitting in their boxes collecting dust lol. Did you get the pistons from magnus? Any problems with knock at higher boost? I would rather have 8:1 than 8.8:1 but nobody seems to have them in that low of a cr...

There is no replacement for: AWD, high rpm's and very very big turbo's

I won't but anything from magnus. That being said their long rod setup is nice. I ordered everything through QPR, I spent around $2000 for the entire bottom end including buying the block.

Good luck running 10s on pump, that will prove to be difficult though not impossible. The car in the vid made that run on c16 @ 31 psi he also has posted a 138mph run at 11.0.


In an effort to stay on topic, there are some videos of a v8 fiero racing a civic, neon (not rice but sport compact), turbo bettle, and maybe an rx-7 on kazza.

Pistons have no effect when adding a turbo. too funny.
When you bought your "fast" car did you learn about thermal technology?
Built in normal, but it doesn't have a domestic engine. So it must make you half patriotic.
I always get a kick when these people own asian vehicles which are POS and add a turbo
and think they are gods gift because their somewhat fast. Same goes with their argument that
Asia has better cars.
too funny.

btw, a few domestics had four cylinder turbos back in the 80s too


i don't know about cars? i find that kind of ironic coming from an engineer. i work on cars all day, everyday, for a living. when i leave my job, i go work on more cars. i make fast cars, i've done a bagged sonoma that lays frame. i've rebuilt engines. telling me i don't know about cars? you're a no talent a$$ clown as far as im concerned. this thread was calming down til you talked.

as stated by sean, our cars came turbo. read the whole post before making an a$$ of yourself. all that education and still proving that you're an engineer. atta guy.

yeah, i understand how temperatures work. that could explain why i have a pyrometer tapped into my exhaust manifold.

yeah, dodge built some turbo 4 bangers, head gaskets whores. gm built a couple, don't see any of them around anymore. omni glhs, not a bad car, other than the aforementioned head gasket problems. the only notable domestic turbo car of the 80s would be the gn, gnx line, and they were v6 powered. now stfu newbie.

Alright since when did this board turn into aneclipse and Eagle Talon forum? Please read the top of the page. It happens to say "Pennock's FIERO Forum, not Pennock's Eclipse Forum or Pennock's Eagle Talon Forum. This thread has been completely hijacked by Sean, trigger, and jimmy. This thread did not say anything about Talons or whatever the **** you drive, it stated RICERS. IMO a ricer is a weak economical car that is modified for the "look at me" factor. I hate ricers and whenever I get the chance I make them look like fools, even with my Fiero which I'll admit is slow. Eclipses are only ricers imo if the owner makes the exterior look like one. Eclipses are designed as sports cars, not the econo-car pieces of **** like Honda puts out. Talons....I've only seen like 20 in my entire life, and have never seen a ricey one, so they are not rice. But you three and your "American cars are pieces of **** , just look at how our cars are superior because they are AWD and turboed instead of RWD and V8". Besides comparing a Fiero and an Eclipse is like comparing apples and oranges. Fieros were originally designed as sporty fast mid-engine cars, but GM management decided that the only way it'd EVER make production was as a commuter econo-car. Eclipses and Talons, if not just because they offered Turbos, are designed as sports cars. Judging a stock Fiero and a stock Eclipse is insane, the cars were made for different purposes. I'm sure that if GM really wanted the Fiero to be a sports car they would have given it a high-performance, possibly turbo-charged V6.

BTW gave you a neg trigger for your really immature post. "Now shut the **** up (stfu) newbie"? I understand CertifiedMechanic probably got you pissed off, but that's no way to act, personally attacking someone. Will someone please get on topic in this damn thread or close it? Enough of the import-praising .

with all of that work how long do you think the turbo 4 cly will last. if it is stock and you turn up the boost you will scatter it all over the ground. Compairing like this and like apples vs. oranges.
trigger OCT 29, 08:21 AM
exdeath, i never said american cars suck. i happen to own one. i don't think i stepped out of line when I was personally attacked first. somebody telling me i don't know anything about cars when its my livelyhood. the reason i said what i did, is due to the fact that he is a newbie, who obviously didn't read the whole post before he said the stupid things that he did. also, i have seen you come unglued before, and i don't recall you getting a negative rating from me, but whatever.

and if you'll read jimmy's sig, his car is rwd and a v8.
