Mitsubishi 4g63 turbo engines can take alot of abuse.They can handle up to 400-425hp with stock internals, this is on a first gen 6 bolt engine though. The later engines are somewhat weaker.

It's possible to do it, yes. But that ETA still seems off, maybe he's a worse driver then I'm thinking.

The early 90 VR4s are damn good boosters. Very similar motor to the Eclipse isn't it?

Is it an RS motor or the actual turbo engine without a turbo?
I can see that being very feasible, if they built the coolant channels all the same and kept the oil flows the same.

yup, he's probably not lying. the earlier 4g63's can take a lot of abuse. the 2nd gens limit out at around 450whp, the first gen 6 bolts can make a little bit more power. if he's got a big 16g and a few key supporting mods he could easily be in the low-mid 12's w/ some good *** driving..
