6 or 7 bolt ??

[slow99eclipse]

I have a 99 GS 10th anni. N/T. Is it a 6 or 7 bolt engine because I was thinking about getting the stage 3 kit off of slowboyracing?? I will be adding a turbo in a month... just waiting on it to arrive... but do you think this kit would do me any good?? (what is the stroker kit? is it a major upgrade from my 420a?) Right now my car only has 57k on it, so should I wait til it starts to go bad or should I just try to eliminate the problem before it happens??

Kit Includes:
Custom SBR Pro-Billet Aluminum Rods Or Manley Rods (YOUR CHOICE)
Custom SBR racing pistons ( big shot of nitrous welcome, lots of boost etc... They'll Love It! )

Hey man, i dont think you understand completely, those parts you have listed are 4g63 specific parts. 6 and 7 bolt refers to 4g63 motors, not 420a motors. YOU have a 420a motor, you need 420a parts.. Those are all turbo eclipse parts. if you see 6 bolt, 7 bolt, 4g63 or 4g64, you had better buy a turbo eclipse before you order them, becuase thats what car they are made for.

If you really want to turbo your car, go to www.hahnracecraft.com . Buy one of their turbo kits for the 420a motor (not the 4g63, you have a 420a).

I think he knows he has a 420a but maybe he thinks that the parts are interchangable with the 4g63 model?well....they are not.

do you guys know what will fit then for my 99 n/t ? i wanna be able to run at higher boosts than 6-8 psi so i was either going to wait til my engine blew or just do it all now since most of my engine will be taken apart to add the star kit and cam gears and underdrive pulley what do you guys think?
