Adding a turbo to an RS

[whiteclipse67]

i want to add a turbo to my 99 eclipse RS. Would it be better to swap in a new engine with a turbo already on it or should i try to add a turbo and all of the necessary mods to my existing engine, i'm new at this stuff. Also, which would be cheaper?

look if you really want to know head over to www.2gnt.com for some real answers from 2g nt guys that have actually done it. They can tell you the ups and downs. As far as i know hrc and star are the only ones making a complete kit for our n/t's... GsGoingfast put a homebrew kit together for around a grand. It's possible but you can't push the engine on stock internals so look at spending some bread over a period of time to have a beast

My .02 .....keep your n/t, love it, then turbo it.

forged pistons and aftermarket rods is semi-built? Since when?

Since a new oil pump, aftermarket bearings and seals, and crankshaft work, in addition to pistons and rods, became the definition of fully built...

1. I'm sure a company is not stupid enough to build a bottom end without replacing the oil pump.
2. Aftermarket bearing and seals have to be replaced anyways to build an engine and aftermarket bearings are not proven to be any stronger than oem mitsubishi bearings.
3. You don't need crankshaft work unless yours is messed up and it is still fully built even without having the crank knife edged or anything of the sort. This process does not make it any stronger or anything like that, just less rotational mass. You mention crankshaft work, but if you would have mentioned an actual aftermarket crank you might have had something going for ya.

Next time you post such foolishness figure out what you are talking about before you post instead of just throwing out the names of part that go in an engine that have to be replaced anyways and are not replaced wth stronger parts.

let me elaborate some more.The kid who bought my car was going to turbo it.He already had a 99rs-t and had totalled it.This was a 18 year old rich kid who's brother/dad w/e had a shop,so he got to do the work himself or with minimized costs.He had a Hahn stage 3 kit.Fully built 420a with the works.He spent $7000 on the engine alone,with a T3/T4 and a Conservative tune he had 325 fwhp.He just bought my car for the shell basically.he was going to transplant everything till he got a call from the machine shop,telling him his block had cracked in the accident,so he was going to start all over again with my 130k mile engine.point if the story is, he had over 10k in the engine and he was at 325 hp,can you imagine the performance you can get out of a 4g63 with 10 grand?the reason that this kid had an rs was because of insurance was so much cheaper for him with the non turbo,supposedly his driving record wasn't clean so insurance was up the * for him in a turbo dsm.while i saw pics of his car,and it looked like an aw some machine if it was a turboed dsm from the beginning he would of had a much faster car.

Your information is incorrect and proof of this would be nice, but if you want to keep this going please take it elsewhere. You are ruining this guys thread and it was actually getting back on topic until you decided to bring this crap back up again even after the mods said to chill out. Quit wasting everyones time and move on and quit being a baby about this geez!

Thank you

I think that the general consensus has been that swapping in a 4G63 is out of the question: mostly due to cost efficiency and compatibility issues.

This means for more power, your best option is slapping a turbo on your 420A.

Besides 2GNT.com, which I've already seen alot of members suggest as a resource, if you need anymore information or help, try GSTurbo.com. I just recently ran across this site again, and its helped me out a few times in the past. Furthermore, its completely dedicated to boosting 2G N/Ts.

I wish I had turboed my first eclipse(95gs) I tried doing what honda owners do and was still slow compared to my 92 gsx when it was stock. if you can affored it thats what id do. if not id buy a gst,gsx. Im telling you man you wont regret it

 

[spirol]

It will cost you a lot if you turbo a non-turbo car. DSM people are always going for what's cheap and fast. In this case, the cheaper way is to sell the car and buy a turbo car. Anything can be done if you have the cash/time/effort to do it.
