200k mile Eclipse Turbo?

[93ClipseVA]

i have a 93 eclipse GS and was wondering if it still has enough life in it to turbo it?...or should i just save my money an go balls out with a gsx or a gst

i dont know man, you cant measure the condition of an engine in mileage.

i dont think its a good idea....even if the car is in good condition right now, it wont last much longer. If i were u i would try to sell it and go for a gst/x or an nt with less miles, but its ur choice thats just my opinion

 

[93ClipseVA]

yea...i guess im gonna save some money an then sell the n/t an buy a gsx or gst .........probably gst cuz of the loss of power through AWD in the gsx....well...once i get a turbo'd DSM...THEN this site will really start to help me...

My gst went up until 220k then it threw a rod

why not do a Engine Swap?

probably gst cuz of the loss of power through AWD in the gsx

mitsubishi engines can last for a while, go ahead and turbo it, #### it push the engine to the limits, when it breaks something, take it apart, fix it , the go rev the shit out of it once again- why sit there with a dog engine when u can have fun with a fast engine....nothing lasts forever. Ive seen engines at 70k throw connecting rods, shooting pistons into the oil pan, etc.

Might as well just rebuild the engine then throw a turbo on it for about the same price you can get a GST for or a little less? , may sound a little crazy but if your car has any kind of sentimental value to it like mine does :laugh: it'll be worth it. Pluse you won't get $hit out of it with high miles.

HA HA.....i didnt mean it like that...AWD are definitely faster than gst's...but i've just heard that you get less WHP from an AWD than a GST with the same mods...
