My 4G69 build has officially started. The goal is to break the 4G69 power world record, while also being the most powerful 4G Eclipse in the world. A lot of research has gone into this, and I'd like to throw a big thank you to Ryan at Velocity Racing Performance for the great deals on parts, and Dave at No Lift (formerly Broke 'N Boosted) for his continuous help and friendship (one of the few people I trust to drive my car!!!)
The motor I'm using was pulled from a 2005 Outlander with 220,000km. The motor ran great, but was off an auto trans car. The trans isn't much good to me, nor is the wiring harness aside from parts. Here's the motor as it sat when I got it home. Dave actually pulled it at work for me.
The first step was to remove the accessories. Mostly easy to do, except the crankshaft pulley was seized on. I got lucky though otherwise, no seized bolts. Everything else came off just fine (maybe with 1100ft-lbs of persuasion from an impact gun at times). Pictures of the process:
With some persuasion from fire not working, Dave and I used a pry bar and hammer and knocked it off with the motor on a stand. The pulley was useless after this, and I threw it out. Multiple ribs were snapped off, and it was scratched to hell anyway. It would never take another belt without shredding it. It's just an expensive paperweight now.
We had to call it a night, but here's where it sits now. After 4 hours, we got the accessories off, ate some pizza, had head and block apart, and have the block on a stand ready for more fun. Next up is pulling apart the block internals
My phone takes pretty bad pictures, but here's the inside of the block. Everything is nice and clean aside from dirt that fell in taking off the pan. Not an issue though, almost everything inside there is being replaced.
In a week or two I'll have all the internal parts I need to put it together. I'm using ACL bearings, Manley pistons with ARP studs, ARP head main and rod studs, and BC rods with ARP studs. All said and done, the block should be good for 1000hp or more, while having a rotating assembly of only around 150 grams more than stock.
I DO have some leftover parts however. If anyone is interested in an Outlander intake manifold (fits the Eclipse, and makes torque sooner but gives lower top end power), outlander EGR, throttle body, fuel rail, stock injectors, AC compressor, MAP sensor, or stock pistons/rods, throw me a message or comment here. Ships from London Ontario. I also have a 4 speed auto trans if anyone is interested in local pickup
There will also be some Eclipse parts coming up, but that won't be until March/April. Plans include re-doing the entire fueling system, and using an upgraded intake manifold. This is experimental territory, so we'll see what happens.
