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:thumb: 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.:confused:
 
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?
 
Search for this knind of stuff in the nt forum. There is sooooooooooooooo much information about this. You just have to search fot it. :thumb:
 
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:thumb:

AWD is the way to go when you are making power.:thumb:

Maybe he wants a highway car :D

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?:dsm:

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.
