Proof that 4 banger Eclipse's can do over 100 MPH, haha.
NOTE - This was just for fun, don't be a jerk/idiot. Stupid comments will be deleted, I wasn't racing anyone...just at night driving down the bypass in town having fun. Sportronic 4 banger Eclipse sounds pretty good stock, In My Opinion...because my opinion is the only one that matters.
hell i've been 120 in my '07

My Saab I-4 9-5 Aero hits the redline in 5th gear at about 168mph once the governor is removed...

TO much work to take that governor out, and isnt the 4 banger saab's turbo-ed?
Im very seriously considering taking this s/c since there is no turbo kits yet and no shops near me that I would trust doing a custom kit.

Yeah, I was more commenting on Whitemagics response, than your original posting.
The Saab has a 2.3L I4 with a high pressure turbo making just under 300hp after a software flash (the same one that removes the governor)
Just be careful to not overdo it. Engines that aren't built with forced induction can be significantly worse for the wear if an aftermarket kit is added.

Yeah, I love saab's, the 9-3 Aero's to be exact.
I will be doing many engine upgrades before I add a s/c; headers, exhaust, some internals such as rods and cranks...but those 4g69 MIVEC's can handle 8psi [supercharged] on stock internals.
