Hey fellas, my name is John in Maryland. I just built myself a 3000sf auto restore shop for personal use and just completed a 76 vette that turned out pretty sweet. Redone from the block to the paint job by myself. Now the wife wanted a car so I did a little research and picked up a project....a 1999 Eclipse GST. I plan a complete tear down and rebuild to include a body kit, lambo doors, and a trick paint job. I will need to do some tranny and engine work on it also but to be honest I will need some guidance for I am not too sure what I got. I have never dealt with turbos before and can only go by what the young fella told me. This thing has a 4G63, ported and polished head built by Slowboy with .270 cams, a 16G turbo producing 17lbs of boost, 550cc injectors, a complete 3 inch exhaust, Fandanza flywheel, Bend Kevlar clutch, and a DSM link v3.....whatever the heck that is. I gave the kid $2500 for it running. he said it dyno tested at 300hp.I need to know if you think this thing has potential or if I wasted my money. I will try to post pics....

Good scoop up and welcome to the site! I personally would avoid the lambo doors... Seriously "ricey"... Ecmlink is a one stop tuning shop for your car. It gives you the ability to plug your laptop in and alter fuel for bigger injectors, ignition timing, and much much more.

Be careful John, the wife is going to take that vette with that GST LOL. Welcome!! Pretty car.
 
Looks like a pretty nice ride at a fair price. That car can be really fun for pretty cheap as it's fairly light, fwd and turbocharged. Usual problems to watch for are bad alternator due to heat from the turbo baking it and the power steering pump leaking onto it. Your next mod could probably be a front-mount intercooler...then a 150 shot of nitrous ;)
 
Thanks to all.....I am hungry for the knowledge and hope to be a regular on this site. The Lambo doors are a wife thing, LOL, she is the one that wants to serve up a big ole bowl of chop suey. The alternator is brand new so I guess the turbo already took care of the last one. It does have a front mount intercooler and I did not know you could run nitrous in tandem with the turbo. That is a thought since I live about 5 miles from Cecil county drag strip and Friday night is always grudge night. I will complete my profile and check out the EMC link. Again thanks for the welcome.
 
Checked out the ecmtunning link.....what an education!!! I think I am hooked!!!! Love it!!!
 
Definitely a good deal and you'll fall in love with turbos. Nothing quite like boost kicking in at 20 psi. I built a 98 spyder. (Convertible gst) that we awd swapped. It made 500 hp to the wheels at 32.6 PSI on an hx35. An hx35 is a stock dodge Cummins turbo. When that turbo hit.... dear gawd it made me smile. Welcome and you'll find the DSM community is a family
