Celi Vs. Eclipse W/BOV Sound Options

[macavely]

Ok so last night on my way to work i pull up to a stop light... on the line to my left there is a red eclipse... both my line and the one on the left. both are turn left only lanes.... well with the light turn green.. we both go.. i take corner like i always do... and the eclipse gets really close to my door.. so i just floor it to get away.... and as i pull away i here a BOV sound... then i slow down and the eclipse passes by me and i hear the sound again... as the eclipse cuts me off....so i get really close to him so i can make the next like.. the whole time i'm hearing this BOV sound..... and right on the entrence to the get on the highway... is a nice 4 curve road... so we are both doing about 70mph on the road... and the whole timei'm hearing this BOV sound.... when the road megers to the highway .. the eclipse guns it.. i hear the BOV louder... but i'm right behind the car.. then i pull into the gas station... the whole time i'm thinking.. shouldnt have that eclipse just left me behinds like..a 5dollor hooker leaves a guy with only 3 bucks in his pocket...

Probalby a GS-T, and yes he should have - but the fact that he's constantly getting off the gas makes him a loser.

Ah u didnt specificy what year. Well it coulda been a turbo GS in which case it weights 3000lbs and is probably no better than 190hp.

Umm....ya. No Eclipse past 2000 has a Turbo unless it was an aftermark install. only the 1-3 gen eclipses had a turbo.

The third generation Eclipse is the 2000+ model.

And Erik was referring to a GS with an aftermarket turbo I'm pretty sure...my friend has a '00 GS with the 4G64 and he might turbo it.

thanks .. i think some drivers around here are just that damn bad.. and just make me look that damn good...

Every turbo third gen Ive heard of uses the 2.4 liter 4. I think it's 2.4... Anyhow the thing kinda sucks. It's long stroke and achieves some really nasty rod angles. Not only can it not take alot of boost but it can't really rev. Slap it into the porky 3g Eclipse chassis and you have a car that is much like all 3g eclipses: Worthless.

What you experienced was tha manifestation of the old addage "you can't polish a turd." The Celi is just a superior car to begin with. =) Go Toyota.

some people really are just that bad, by girlfriend takes serisouly 2 seconds to shift and its not some big bronco its a new jetta.

anyways, maybe the guys just has a 200 shot and keeps hitting the purge.

i can almost guarantee that it was in the muffaler tip. You can buy these things that hook right onto your tip, and go deep into your muffaler (spelling), and when you let off the gas, it makes that BOV sound.

maybe that was it.. cause the way i was hearing that sound and the eclipse wasn't pulling away from me.. and its not like i was trying to keep up with it either...it was just taking some really bad angles on the curves... at one point i was right on his back bumper... and had to hit my brake.. which i never do on that road...

maybe since you have 1 working eye your depth perception is off and he was really 2 car lengths ahead of you.

im just playin

i thought of that.. but i been seening with one eye long enuff that my scencs of depth has already adjusted..

Umm.. Ok.. Assuming you drive a US GT model with the 2.2L engine, then I'm guessing that he had a turbo simulator. It's basically a speaker with a throttle sensor to make a BOV sound. If it was a 3.0L, then the guy does not know how to drive the car. I hope that helps?
