Converting to turbo? can the engine take it

[Eclipsegsi]

Hi there i have this question. I have an eclipse gsi N/T. And am about to bold on a turbo kit stage 1. Now i have heard that Mitsubishi creates the strongest TURBO ENGINES in the world. And my question is. Will my N/T engine resist the power of the turbo...... Will it make any difference if u compare a gs-t with a normal eclipse but with turbo?

I really hope to have some answers. because i really wanna go fast now.

Thank you

Welcome to the "boost" side......now I don't know too much about your gsi since your in europe and all....but when it comes to any NT w/out forged internals. Set your boost limit for 6-7psi(non-intercooled), don't forget you NEED, a FMU(vortecs 12:1), Bigger fuel pump(walbro 255 should do it).
If I were you, seriously start getting at least a SMIC going for your car.

run now or you will be owned by the boost!!!

like Randy said, just keep the boost low untill you put either forged internals or stock turbo motor internals in your engine. i think 6-7 is fairly high for non intercooled, and i kept mine to about 4-5 psi non intercooled... no that my intercooler is on, ill be boosting that up to 7-8 psi.

How well can you keep your foot away from it? If you can use it with reason, turbocharging is about the most gentle way to abuse a motor.
