Is it possible to Upgrade a GS

[Slider]

Hello,
just a question about GS I have a project car, it is a 1998 Eclipse GS can you upgrade it with a turbo since it didnt come with one? Furthermore how about a RS?

Slider Thanks for all the help guys.

One other thought that ran through my mind. How about dropping a 02 Eclipse V6 motor in her? Will it fit? hmm I just need some fresh ideas for my pet project

There are turbo kits you can put on the 420A.As far as a 3g 6yl.Im not sure.Not familiar with those car at all.

See what I am hopeing to do. Money is no object.... I want to take this 2G Eclipse and turn it into a monster of 500HP or more. I have been tooling with the idea of dropping a 3G V6 in her with twin turbo's. I know it can be done because in the 80's they had a twin turbo V6 in the Dodge Daytona Pace car that almost made it to the market. I think the project was called Turbo Interceptor, anyways I read an article on it and now cant get it out of my head. I have to have.... Any ideas if it will fit or the mods I will have to do to the firewall etc??? Or should I just get a 2G Turbo and bore and hone it with forged oversized pistons and hop it up?

Look in the N/T Performance forum, or the N/T to Turbo conversion sub-forum.

Both engines (420a and 6cyl) have turbo kits made for them. And theres always custom work if you dont want to buy a kit.

Try looking for a 3000GT VR4 engine. 3.0L V6 w/ twin turbo.... one bad ass engine

I would sell the GS and get a GSX if money is not in question.
AWD is the way to go when you are making power.

Maybe he wants a highway car

I would do the Hahn Stage 3 Turbo upgrade, because they redo your 420A's internals after they turbo it.

i think the 3g v6 twin turbo or the vr4 v6 tt sound cool. if money is no object then do something different. but just remember, NO PARK BENCHES!!
















or mabye a custom rear wheel drive conversion?

With his initial goal, 500hp+, it would not matter if it was AWD/FWD/RWD. You would still beat more than 75% of the cars on the road.

I would get a built 2.2 block from FTY
