6 bolt swap or turbo?

[kdoggx2o00]

Hey guys,
I have a 99 Eclipse GS 5spd, and I've come to the point where i want to do engine modifications now, because in the past I really only worked on Audio/electronics on my car. I've researched this somewhat but am still pretty new to it, so please bear with me. Is it possible to do a 6 bolt swap into a N/A 2g DSM? And, what is a ballpark of what i'd be looking to spend?
Or, should i get a turbo kit instead from Hahn or the other ones available, and after everything, how much would i be looking to spend (again, just a ballpark)

Thanks for input guys

If I were in your position I would get the turbo first. Because if I were in your position and wanted the 6 bolt (since the engine is already out), I would also do other things like 2g pistons, cut the crank, balance shaft removal, etc. and that is gonna all cost $$$$. If you do have the money to do all that, then I would say do the swap. But just get everything done while the engine is out and it will save you time and money in the long run.

(My 2 cents) Hope that helps.

Nope not really since you are spreading misinformation... So thus I will break it to you the hard way... You can only get a turbo swap unless you want to sell your car and buy a turboed eclipse which seems better and cost you about the same ammount of money as getting the turbo kit for a 420a engine that you have. Being that you have a 420a because you have a N/A 2G the motor mounts are different and something about engine position and transmissions and such...

So its easier for you to sell your car and buy a GST or GSX. If you decide against this you can always buy a turbo kit from several vendors including hanh and star. So the world is your oyster so let us know what you do.

Which turbo kits would you guys reccomend?
And these kits, are they really 'complete'?, or do i need more things? (Such as fuel management n such)
Thanks

If I were you I would read more about people who turbo charged 420a's and there 1/4 times, and everything they did, then read about turbo dsms then deside if you wanna turbo your car.
If you want a quick car sell yours and find a dsm thats in good shape (gsx, tsi, gst). I have read many threads on turbo charged 420as and for the money you spend you could have had a turbo charged car that is a lil fasters stock. Its your choice but before you go out and buy a whole turbo kit and everything just read about 420as and then about turbo dsms and deside.

Oh my bad dude. I completely overlooked the fact that he was N/A. Since its NA then your right. But I think my advice would have been sound if it was turbo'd like I originally thought. Ill delete my previous post as to not spread any more mis-information.
