MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE (BEST OF !!!)
The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a compact sports car that was produced by Mitsubishi between 1989 and 2011 1 A convertible body style was added in the 1996 model year Eclipse was named after an unbeaten English 18th century racehorse which won 26 races 2 he was also named after the astronomical event of the same name that implied in TV commercials in Japan, it was also rebadged and sold as the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser captive imports from Mitsubishi Motors close relationship with the Chrysler Corporation Their partnership was known as Motors Diamond-star or DSM, and the trio of vehicles through the closure of the second generation line is sometimes known by the nickname DSM in passionate environments in Japan, first two generations were sold to a chain of retail sale to the specific Japanese Mitsubishi Car Plaza.
The Eclipse was officially marketed in North America Oman South Korea Philippines Brazil Saudi Arabia Kuwait United Arab Emirates and China in late August 2011, the final Eclipse came out of the assembly line, and was sold to auction, the proceeds going to charity 3 It was not related to the Mitsubishi FTO while having a similar marketing approach.
Eclipse has undergone four generations, the first two generations 1G and 2G share car platform and parts with Talon Eagle and Laser Plymouth, while the third generation 3G shared a redesigned platform with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus in May 2005, the fourth and last generation 4G Eclipse was introduced, replacing the Chrysler platform used in the first three generations with the PS 4 platform.
In January 2017, Mitsubishi said it plans to resurrect the name Eclipse on a compact crossover called the Eclipse Cross, which will debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2017 The new Eclipse will slot between the Mitsubishi ASX and Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Outlander in the range and is mainly designed to compete with the Nissan Qashqai May 6.

The first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse was marketed as an input to the mid-level sport coupe four-cylinder four trim levels are available; all were FWD except the top model who was wheel drive The top FWD and the AWD model were equipped with turbocharged engines.
The first generation Eclipse received minor styling changes during its production; have updated 1992 models 1994 sheetmetal and are easily distinguished from prior model years, the most notable is that the 1990-1991 models have pop-up headlights, while models in subsequent years does Eclipse was revised for model year 1995, the second generation.
The model Plymouth Laser was abandoned after the 1994 model year, leaving only the Eclipse and Talon to continue to the second generation.
The Eclipse is available in five trim levels during its first-generation AWD series production models were not available until the middle of the first model year.
Eclipse basic model equipped with a 92 hp 69 kilowatts naturally aspirated eight valves 1 8 L 4G37 SOHC engine.
Eclipse GS model improved with a little more equipment.
Eclipse GS DOHC upgraded model equipped with a 135 hp 101 kilowatts naturally aspirated 2 0 Sirius Mitsubishi DOHC 16 valve 4G63 variant of the naturally aspirated engine 4G63T.
Eclipse GS DOHC AWD Equipped with one 4G63 150 hp 110 kilowatts 16-valve engine naturally aspirated AWD NA available in Europe All were available only with manual gearbox 5 speed and without rear limited slip differential sunroof, cruise control ABS, central locking and AC were in the database.
Eclipse GS Turbo improved model equipped with a turbo 180-195 hp 2 0 L 16-valve DOHC 4G63T.
Eclipse model GSX AWD 180-195 equipped with a turbo HP 2 0 L 16-valve DOHC 4G63T.
The 1990 GS Turbo with manual transmission was rated at 190 hp while the GSX 1990, with a manual transmission was rated at 195 hp 145 kilowatts It was in order to compensate for the additional weight of the AWD mechanism about 2,930 lbs vs. 2570 lbs GVWR However, 1991 and the years of the two standardized turbo models on the 195 hp version 4G63T automatic models were evaluated at 180 hp 130 kW due to smaller fuel injectors and turbocharger.
1990 1994 model year Eclipse, Talon and laser does not come with the motor 420a which was not added until the second generation.
These models vary considerably in powertrain and the available options, and included a variance in appearance, as different more added finishing lines fairing front and rear panels and surrounding trim, with the model GSX get a set of particularly different style of others .
The basic structure of the kinematic chain of the Eclipse is a wall Mitsubishi 4-cylinder transverse engine or 4G37 4G63 located on the left side of the driver's cab of an automatic transmission or manual on the right side AWD models have a transmission different which comprises a central limited slip differential and the output shaft for a transfer box which drives the rear differential also available in limited slip and half-shafts.
There is also a difference between the back of the rear axle ends on all AWD models 1990-early 1992 cars have three bolts securing the axis of the wheel hub end 1992 1994 have more axles diameter and fixed to the hub with a larger, 4- axle bolt cups.
The 4G37 and 4G63 both motors are inline-four gasoline engines The 4G63 is composed of a motor cylinder block of iron and aluminum head and is equipped with two balancer shafts for proper operation The turbo version of 4G63 sometimes called 4G63T has a lower compression rate 7 8 1992-1994, may 8, 1995 - 1999 and 9 0 in the release squirters and oil naturally aspirated as part of the pistons for better cooling additional heat introduced into the system by forced induction turbo 4G63 engine has received an internal update in model year 1992 engines built from 1989 to April 1992 have motors 6 bolts from May 1992 Mitsubishi has revised the motor at a design bolts bolts 7 refer to the number of bolts on the steering wheel that connect to the design of the initial six-pin crankshaft is generally regarded as a motor more powerful because of the design of the cylinder head and connecting thicker stems There were a variety of other differences between the two misc engines as well as turbo fluid 405CFM TDO5h-14B used for 1G vs. smaller 195CFM Garrett T25 2G models used to try to increase the responsiveness of torque to soothe without a US education market would no replacement for displacement Despite Proving the DSM over and over again, not only is it a replacement it was all around them was due to low sales but the turbo was abandoned, and ultimately the product floundered for lack of a public 7.
The Eclipse was completely redesigned in 1994 and now has come with airbags double standard, more rounded styling, more interior and a new engine made by Chrysler for the base model The second generation car maintained the focus on the market for first-generation car, but had many changes to appeal to a broader market a convertible model, called Eclipse Spyder was introduced in 1996 offered in two trim levels; GS and GS-T Spyder GS was performed by a 2 4L I-4 Vacuum motor 4G64 Spyder GS-T was equipped with a turbo engine 4G63 Mitsubishi GSX The model also supplied by this motor but with the addition of a high performance system all wheel drive No convertible model was powered by the engine of Chrysler 420A, there was a cab with all-wheel drive.
The option of turbocharged 4G63 continued as has also been updated for more power compared to the previous generation 227 hp vs 195 hp naturally aspirated cars had two I-4 different engines depending on the market they were produced for the engines of the US version were producing 140 hp, found in the RS and GS versions, was a modified version of the Chrysler Neon engine 420A, manufactured by Chrysler and delivered and installed at the Diamond Star motors plant the motors of the European market were a naturally aspirated 4G63 with 141 hp 105 kW; 143 hp international market ECLIPSE has less power than their parents on the Japanese domestic market when equipped with the HP 210 4G63, 154 hp, due to emission regulations at the time.
The Talon was discontinued in 1998 and the rest of the Eagle line, leaving only the Eclipse for sale during the 1999 model year.
As the width dimension and larger engines were offered to Japanese consumers, it is now considered a luxury car, as this generation are more consistent with the size of the Japanese government regulations and Japanese consumers were responsible for annual fees due, which affected sales.
A special version of Eclipse, called the 10th anniversary OZ Rally, was sold at the end of the model run in 1999 with unique wheels Enkei 16-inch with OZ Racing logo It also included inside leather packing , output accented hoop spoiler and exhaust style that were available as standard equipment on the GS-T and GSX models the special edition package was offered with 420A engine.
A unique version of the 2G Eclipse was sold in some European countries, he used a naturally aspirated engine Mitsubishi 4G63, similar to what was available in the 1G, unique mirrors and rear flashing orange.
A minor revision of style has been applied for model year 1997 grille opening has been given a more aggressive profile Lighthouses have been a sharper slope on the inside edges and inside the previous all-chrome device has changed a black interior with chrome reflector inserts the driving lights have been revised from a reflector type to a smaller projection type of the rear bumper cap has been modified and had the reverse lights and redesigned moved out in the fairing, outside their original central position of the license plate holder GS-T and GSX received a large rear spoiler choice interior color also changed from blue and gray 1995 1996 model year black gray, black and gray beige 1997 1999 model years The interior black leather option was only available in 1999; the package includes all the seats with the Mitsubishi logo embroidered on both fronts, door trim and armrest on the center console.

The basic structure of the kinematic chain of the Eclipse is a 4-cylinder Chrysler 420A, Mitsubishi 4G64 or 4G63 transverse engine mounted Mitsubishi motors are mounted in the same orientation as the first generation cars motor cars 420a-had the motor mounted on the right side of the car, and further back in the chassis AWD models had a similar transmission to the first generation of the second car GSX generation was also a solid support differential when equipped with the option of limited slip the 5-speed transmission uses a pneumatic gearshift linkage, also known as the lever linkage name hydraulically assisted air velocities one of a kind in place made famous by the movie Fast and Furious Mitsubishi has created AAH Shifter link to help with feelings more accurately and an audible connection with the transmission.
All engines are four-cylinder gasoline engines all have cast iron block with aluminum heads 4G63 4G64 engines retain the balance shafts for smoother operation, while the 420a does not use turbo engines 1995 1999 given a compression ratio increased from 8 5 1, against 7 8 1, and a smaller turbo, a Garrett T25 set to 12psi in place of the previous Mitsubishi automatic cars and manual cars TD04-13G TD05-14B This was done for minimize turbo lag, which was an undesirable trait to appeal to the mass market in the US These changes resulted in power and torque over the previous 1G Turbos turbo 2G cars produced 210hp 6000rpm 205hp 6000rpm with aT and 214 lb ft 3000rpm 3000rpm 220 lb ft with AT.
The 4G63 engines found in 1990 1994 models have a throttle body 60 mm compared to the year 1995 1999 MY 52 mm intake ports on the head and the runners of the intake manifold are also more on the 1G they also have more crankshaft journals to allow better lubrication because they are similar, it is important to note that the 1990-1994 cylinder head is more on the side of the air volume, while the cylinder head 1995- 1999 is the side of the high air velocity.
Mitsubishi Motors quietly updated its 4G63 engine in 1998 and 1999 The crankshaft is specifically shaved and cut compared to previous years, it is identical to that used in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that has not been sold in North America until 2003. the thrust bearings have been revised to a type of separation to allow better lubrication and self-alignment with the crankshaft had also improved functionality of development, thanks to a new ECU which was similar to Lancer ECU Although initially disabled to protect the driveline, it included advanced features such as launch control, enhance control, adjustable rev-limit, fuel control system and the same fuel and stimulate card selection for some Mitsubishi Heavy Industries turbochargers.
All 2G Eclipses were available with a manual transmission car to AT 4-speed automatic or 5-speed automatic transmission equipped with the 4G63 weighed 80 pounds 36 kg more than the manual transmission equipped vehicles The drive gear ratios and final vary depending on the engine and the model 11.
The difference between the gear 5 GS-T vs GSX speed would result in a maximum speed limited to lower speed for the GS GSX-T However, many GS-Ts came with a limited top speed of ECU 130 mph due to GS-T cars being equipped rated H tires.
2G Eclipse has received numerous technical bulletins TSB touch a variety of problems with the car but there was a noticeable reminder powertrain In March 1998, Mitsubishi released a 98V069001 recall bulletin for all 1990-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSXs quote , Lockup transfer case may occur due to insufficient lubrication condition can cause a loss of vehicle control which increases the risk of an accident dealers inspecting vehicles for the suitability of any transfer of the volume oil, oil leakage transfer case, and degradation of operation of the transfer mechanism can transfer case itself does not flee but the brass plug in the center of the cylinder head of the transfer case would Mitsubishi leakage estimated 24.275 vehicles were assigned 12.
Another issue that has affected vehicles midst 1995-1997 Eclipse GS-T is equipped GSX 4G63 failure of a commonly known thrust bearing in the Eclipse community as crankwalk Mitsubishi has never publicly addressed the issue by a recall or TSB It there were a variety of symptoms but the most common symptom is crankwalk the clutch pedal stuck to the floor to make a left turn If crankwalk occurred, it generally for engine failure in 1998, Mitsubishi revised manufacturing process to correct the problem.
All 2G standard Eclipse came with driver and passenger air bags, side-guard door beams, body structure areas front and rear deformable, 5 mph absorbing bumper energy, the construction of the body-cage safety, 4- wheel disc brakes, with the exception RS, three point ELR ALR seatbelts shoulder only ELR knees shoulder belt height-adjustable front driver and antilock brakes is optional on all models except RS.
The Eclipse has undergone a change in its third generation in 1999, closely the implementation of the Mitsubishi SST design study which starts at 1998 North American International Auto Show It was the first concept vehicle introduced by Mitsubishi at an auto show in US 13.
Two new powertrain options were available, a Number 2 147 4 L 16-valve SOHC 4-cylinder 4G64 and 24v 205 hp SOHC 6G72 3 0 L V6 AWD was no longer an option configuration suspension was adjusted to achieve a softer and more compliant ride quality.
The third generation Eclipse has shared its powertrain with the 8th generation Galant end of 2001, the power of the GT version has been lowered to 200 hp 150 kW because of tightened emission standards forcing MMNA to adopt emission standards California for all car variants, rather than selling independent releases of the Fed and Cali Spec Spec.
In mid-2002, the GTS trim was introduced for model year 2003 This vehicle includes an engine with an October 1 compression ratio, the shaft profile and a revised cam Mitsubishi Variable Induction Management System improved MVIM 'air intake which gave the car an extra 10 c.7 5 kilowatts and a slightly improved cutting power curve 2003 2005 GTS, GTS and GT Spyder Spyder shares 14 the new engine while retaining 200 GT cut 150 hp kW powertrain.
With the introduction of the GTS model 2003, Eclipse saw minor changes including a redesigned front bumper with fog lights oblong and a refill taillight inside, the face of the gauge changed and the door panels have also been redesigned recently designed chrome five-spoke wheels were offered with the GT and GTS versions.
The Eclipse was available in seven trim levels RS, GS, GS Spyder GT Spyder GT, GTS and GTS Spyder All Spyder more trim levels came with an automatic tilt sunroof and retractable All models were pulling before GTS trims were introduced for model year 2003 to model year 2005, the RS trim was arrested and a special trim package Remix edition GS was introduced, which included chrome wheels, identification signs and inner packing high-end GT and GTS models, which was not previously available on the GS trim.
