I would say its a 4spd or 3spd w/ o/d. There are 4 gears so either way it could be said. But it doesnt matter, 5spds > auto anywho

Is the Hyundai bottom a 6-bolt? I was under the impression the 7G had the same style mounts as the 2G eclipse. I understand the 6-bolt would be more favorable, but there would be more work involved:Originally Posted by JiP

yes the 4gcs is a 6bolt. There is another 2.4L block that is 6bolt as well but I cant remember the engine code. The 7g mounts are the same as the 2g. There are no modifications that need to be done to the actual 6bolt block for it to fit. Its the driverside mount that needs to be modded and its easy.

Boy this went waaaay off topic. Got one to add under braking.
Tested:
Baer Sport Big Brake 12"x1.1 rotor with PBR 2-piston Caliper -- just specify a 4-lug rotor instead of 5-lug
Baer Track Big Brake 13.1"x1.1 rotor with PBR 2-piston Caliper -- just specify a 4-lug rotor instead of 5-lug
Theorically Should Bolt-on Fine
Baer Pro Big Brake 13.25 to 14.85" rotor with Alcon 4-piston Caliper -- just specify a 4-lug rotor instead of 5-lug
Baer Pro Plus Big Brake 13.25 to 14.85" rotor with Alcon 4-piston Caliper -- just specify a 4-lug rotor instead of 5-lug
Untested:
Any of the 2nd Gen Eclipse Big Brake kits. The brake flex line is the exact same part, so at least that part should work fine if it's included. As long as the caliper in the Eclipse which the kit is designed for can be interchanged or is the same as the Galant and you can get a 4-lug rotor instead of 5-lug, it should just bolt up fine.
bigger brakes = less wheel hp even if they are lighter =p
Bigger brakes usually dont even give you better brake distance they just give you a little more control over the braking.
Overall..just my opinion..but not worth it.

Actually, those are both true. Just as a big brake slows you down faster with better angular torque, it also hinders acceleration the same way and most big systems are heavier for sure. They can be just as bad as adding wheels.
Big brakes don't help with braking distance at all. They only help with overcoming the negative effects of prolonged brake usage that can overload a stock system, such as brake fade.
I had brake fade, so I needed to do something on the fronts. I probably could have just done some good stock oem replacements with some braided lines and stout fluid, but doing all that was going to be about half the cost of the kit I got, so I splurged. I don't regret it. :twisted:
I did all sorts of research so I put it up to share. Hopefully someone else that wants better brakes will realize that a powerful big brake system is only a couple of hundred dollars away. It was only $100 more than doing all the same things in the kit and using the Eclipse 2-piston calipers. But doing it myself still left stock size rotors.
You can find big brake rotors and calipers that are actually lighter then stock. But in simple terms it has to do with making something spin that comes out further from the center which takes more energy, than having a slightly heavier system with smaller distance from edge to center being easier to get moving.Actually, those are both true. Just as a big brake slows you down faster with better angular torque, it also hinders acceleration the same way and most big systems are heavier for sure. They can be just as bad as adding wheels.
But again..IMO totaly not worth the money.

Just out of curiousity, with all the power you must be producing (juding by your mods), don't you find a need to stop from higher speeds more often? Have you ever had any problems stopped from high speeds on stock?
i got problems out my ass with my car, from tranny to fuel issues. more and more things keep getting added to the list..at this point my car was much quicker stock =PJust out of curiousity, with all the power you must be producing (juding by your mods), don't you find a need to stop from higher speeds more often? Have you ever had any problems stopped from high speeds on stock?
I dotn have time to fix anything right now and its way too cold out. Although I do drive around 85+ every second I get on side streets and highways, my brake discs are warpped for sure and she vibrates like crazy when stopping..but i dont give a shit till its not stopping at all anymore =p

Ouch! That sucks. I feel better when my car's reliable rather than fast. It's funny when the guy next to you can beat you, but his car keeps messing up, so you still win, lol.
I know that feeling. I've had my Accord sitting for probably almost a year now due to a bad oil leak. But now that the Galant is in pretty solid shape, that's the next car to work on. And then on to the Altima after that.
That vibration can be really bad for the suspension. I wore out some bushings prematurely when my brakes were warped and wheels were off balance on the Altima. I changed them to some Energy Suspension bushings.
I wouldn't go too long without doing the brakes. I'd hate to hear you ran into something because the brakes failed.

shit happens.. i also have ripped cv joint boot for past 6months and past month no power steering nice hole in one of the copper tubes in an area where I can not find it.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(sethmo)</div><div class='quotemain'>Swap your AT with a 2g turbo AT Tranny and all your problems will be solved...</div>
does it have to be AT tranny from a turbo 2gen or will an a ATtranny from a n/t 2gen work as well. I only ask b/c im rollin' on about 94k and lookin' to take precautions. Thanks
Either FWD 2g Turbo or the SPyder GS. They both will bolt up, most likely have to use the 2g axles as well.
Cannot use a 2g Hardtop GS/RS 420a tranny. The car must have hte 4g63t or the 4g64.

thanks man, gonna have to see what all that'll cost me. Went out about 20 mins after that post and the rpms kicked up b4 she would move. (isn't ironic, don't you think......sorry had to)only did it once though.
i would also suggest changing your tranny fluid reeeaaal soon. that will help to post pone any more breakage.

yeah i know, when i wrote that i hadn't read about all their failures yet. horrible company. stay away from them.
I've heard horrible and wonderful things about Level Ten... in NJ they're pretty well respected. Although I have decided IPT is a better option.
