Nice DSM Eclipse run hard, for people to even be comparing them to Corvette's is a compliment considering the price gap.

it all depends on the engine setup, whether its a 2.0-2.3 stroker or just built, he didnt say whether or he had a stroker kit on this. I run a stroker kit and Aem, it has a rev limiter set for 7500rpms. Thats in a safe rpm so like ilikespeeding says you dont blow a rod out.You cant really compare muscle to a 4g63 engine.

I justed watched a 707 RWHP Vette go 170 here on Streetfire and got around 6200rpm's so that is not always true. Torque makes a huge difference. And when's the last time you saw a 240HP stang? what is this, 1996?

The 4G63 has a short stroke, but it's out of round. Yes, valves springs and what-not due help, but there's only so high you can go before you kick a rod out. Think about it this way, put a 5 lb weight in your hand and move it up and down 4 inches 10 times per seconds and see how long your arm lasts.

ummm thats only 500rpm more than stock not really high revving if you ask me

OH MY GOD!!!!

I just started my 97 Eagle Talon Tsi and want to make it that FAST!! Very impressive performance and wicked acceleration.

Yes, with high performance engine internals, ie. valve springs, rockers, hi gh rev cams, etc (much more) you can and should hit more than 8k when you are racing. Infact, 90% of the s**t you put in the car to make it go that fast is meant for revs past 7000 rpms. Look it up. Racing cams go up to ab out 15k rpm. Huge turbos needed to go that fast need huge amount of gas go ing into them = high revs. Turbos spin around 100k rpm btw.

I am s uprised he doesnt have his rev limiter set higher. DSM's are fast once bui lt. (even when not they will beat any rsx , honda, pos.) Before I put a tu rbo on my 420a eclipse, (the lower model engine, but lighter on eclipses) I was running cold air intake, exaust, headers, and some turtle wax and wa s killing turbod preludes, civics all over the place. pathetic. Now I'm ke eping up with vettes and smoking 240hp stang GT's

which is why I believe you. I dont believe 97TSIAWD. Thats who I've been ta lking to the whole time.

dude mine is not ECU its AEM Power it programmable no need governor chip in it :)
