GS or GS Sport? - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

Stefanos · September 17th, 2011, 09:13 AM

This is gonna sound really dumb but I was talking with a customer at work who was claiming to know everything about the 4G Eclipse and we got to talking about the MIVEC engine. I told him I have a 2011 GS with a I4 MIVEC and he called bullshit on me and said that's "impossible". He said "only the GS Sport had a MIVEC and everything moving forward from that" I said... Do you want me to pop my hood and show you my MIVEC?

So what's this asshole all about? I'm 100% sure I have a GS so did the 2011 GS come factory with MIVEC or do I have a GS Sport and not know it? Haha.

HAHA NO · September 17th, 2011, 09:27 AM

He's a douche and u should slap him. All Gs have the same enigne just like all GT's have the same engine. The only difference in a "sport" model would be the trim level and may be added by a couple of extra features like sunroof or leather, rims, paint, or body. Tell this guy to go play in traffic.

HAHA NO · September 17th, 2011, 09:33 AM

Don't forget the pimp powder cause you can't slap a bitch without the powder.

Stefanos · September 17th, 2011, 09:34 AM

Left hand side next to the screw driver says MIVEC. That's what I thought though. That guy was shot out anyways haha.

HAHA NO · September 17th, 2011, 09:38 AM

Next time u see him and he tries to talk to you just raise your hand and say "before you say anything...I've been informed that your an idiot"

lite2 · September 17th, 2011, 11:11 AM

4gcarbon · September 17th, 2011, 11:54 AM

Although my car is virgin to mods it spent the 1st 30k mi of its life in FL and the salt air has corroded a LOT of exposed metal(bolts, brackets, ect)

sdrn · September 17th, 2011, 12:26 PM

hey u know that black spacer thing to hold down the intake to the car bracket, where can i buy one of those? i lost mine

dont mean to hijack the thread but your picture is nice

Clessy · September 17th, 2011, 12:57 PM

The GS sport is just the Giant Gt wing, moon roof, leather and a fogs. Same thing as the Se before it.

The 2011 gs sport does not come with the gt wing and dont forget the Rockford fosgate system..

I bought just the gs because I didnt want to spend 5k extra for shit I didnt need(power leather seats, sunroof, and I think the stock stereo does just fine)..
The only thing I wanted that the sport had was fogs, and the dealer installed them for $200..

Not to mention, those extras on the gs sport are added weight to a struggling 2.4L

sdrn · September 17th, 2011, 01:39 PM

the power leather and heated seats, fog lights plus sunroof is why i got the sport, they r worth it in my opinion but ya everyone has different needs

If you live in "The best place on earth", I can understand the sunroof, but why would you want heated sticky hot leather seats? Unless the best place on earth is Alaska

What all do you have done to it? I see the SRI and the headers but what about all the blue tubes and that pipe connected to the grill kinda. Haha sorry I'm still learning alot about this stuff.

mwaterous · September 20th, 2011, 08:48 AM

Stainless steel (ss) braided lines.

In this case, hooj smexy ones for the radiator, and most of the other blue tubes are dress up or straight up hose replacements. SS lines are always better than stock, and the other tubes are for that "oOo" noise your gas neighbor makes when you pop the hood at the station.

I love that color you've got on the valve cover! You should spot that around a few other places.

I need all of that haha where am I supposed to find this stuff? I can already feel my wallet dying as we speak.

mwaterous · September 20th, 2011, 11:04 AM

I know Spectre makes a bunch of products along those lines (Spectre Performance - Official Site), I had to go through them on one of my past cars that needed a "custom" intake due to nobody making one for me. There's probably more higher end wallet busting manufacturers too, possibly even tailored just for the Eclipse... I've owned mine for a week so yeah, probably should've just kept my mouf shut right from the get go.

Stefanos · September 20th, 2011, 12:54 PM

Mainly i wanna know where you got the circled braided hoses. And what are the measurements of those so i know... haha tryna get her ready for the mod.

mwaterous · September 20th, 2011, 01:08 PM

*looks around for FeaRlezZ*

Don't want to answer any more for him lest it looks like I hijacked his engine bay. To be fair, I probably would if I could.

Spectre Performance 7496 - Spectre Performance Magnabraid Engine Dress-Up Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

i bought this whole kit but i was only interested in doing the upper radiator hose (not the lower at first). there is only enough for 1 of the hoses in the kit. i found just a single roll for the lower hose but i forget where.

mwaterous · September 20th, 2011, 01:52 PM

Oh, called that one, Spectre. Their intake stuff isn't total junk it just feels like junk when you're building your own sans mounts and looking at pics of custom built 1pc units... no drilling, no grommets... I almost ruined a 45 bend when my drill slipped.

they have great filters. much better than the ones that injen, fujits, or dc give u

Stefanos · September 20th, 2011, 11:14 PM

FearleZz what's the diameter of the tubing directly to the left of the headers? The biggest blue tube you got in there. I did 3/8 for the smaller stuff so far.

FeaRlezZ · September 21st, 2011, 08:12 AM

use 3/4 if u can find it but if not then 5/8 will work
