1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Repair Manuals Blog

Some automobiles strive to disguise their performance with a conservative appearance to appeal to a larger market. Others brag about their accomplishments as if they were a badge of honor. Take, for example, the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. Its posture is so forceful, its lines are so sleek, and its face is so predatory that it seems like it’s driving a hundred miles per hour while it’s parked in the driveway. The Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-performance T’s backs up its appearance. A 210-horsepower turbocharged engine propels it forward like a slingshot. It outperforms the Honda Prelude and Acura Integra GS-R in terms of acceleration. It quickly reaches a hundred and continues.

Overview of the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse:

Eclipse RS: Base model with a 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420a engine producing 140 horsepower (104 kW) and 130 lb-ft (176 Nm).
Eclipse GS: An equipment-upgraded variant with a 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Chrysler 420A engine producing 140 horsepower (104 kW) and 130 lb-ft (176 Nm). The European GS featured a naturally aspirated DOHC 16 valve 4G63 engine that produced 150 HP.
Eclipse GS-T: Improved variant with a 210 horsepower (157 kW) and 214 lb-ft (290 Nm) turbocharged and intercooled 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine.
Eclipse GSX: AWD variant powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0 L 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine producing 210 horsepower (157 kW) and 214 lb-ft (290 Nm) of torque.

Performance and Fuel Economy

All of the engines are four-cylinder gasoline engines. Cast iron blocks with aluminum cylinder heads are used in all of them. The balancing shafts are retained in the 4G63/4G64 engines for smoother running, but the 420a does not. In place of the earlier Mitsubishi TD04-13G (automatic vehicles) and TD05-14B turbo engines, the 1995–1999 turbo engines received an enhanced compression ratio of 8.5:1, up from 7.8:1, and a smaller turbo, a Garrett T25 set to 12 psi (manual cars). This was done to reduce turbo lag, which was a detriment to mass-market appeal in the United States.

Design, Comfort, and Quality

The 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse is a pleasant coupe. However, headroom is restricted, so drivers over six feet tall may find it a little cramped. Some drivers find the cockpit-style footwell to be uncomfortably close to their feet. Others like the jet fighter interior design school. The switchgear is canted toward the driver, and the Eclipse has a great set of easy-to-read instruments. The wrinkled leather seats are stylish as well as comfy. However, we like the GS-beautiful T’s fabric that comes standard. The large rear spoiler hinders rearward visibility, especially noticeable while backing up at night. It’s better upfront, but the gun-turret windshield lacks the panoramic perspective featured in the Honda Prelude. However, the payback for the tight quarters is significant in performance.

Safety Features of the Vehicle

Driver and front-passenger airbags were standard on all 2G Eclipse models, as were side-guard door beams, front and rear body structure crumple zones, five mph energy-absorbing bumpers, safety-cage body construction, four-wheel disc brakes (except the RS), three-point ELR/ALR lap/shoulder safety belts (with ELR only for the driver), and height-adjustable front shoulder belts. Anti-lock brakes were available on all models (except for RS).
