98 GSX Eclipse Mitsubishi

Found this the other day my car is knocking I was gonna turbo it in the spring but If i can spend less and get this gsx then thats what Ill do. So what do you guys think?

Ask for receipts and check for rust! If everything is legit then I would go for it.

What he said ^^^

My buddy baught a car that was like that for 400 and Its kinda a nightmare. As long as you know what your doing then it will be ok.

I'm a newbie at this and this most likely is a newbie thing to say but....isn't it supposed to be bored at .20?

It doesnt have to be but it is suggested. People say the max is .60 to be on the safe side im assuming due to the thickness of the cylinder walls being cut so much.

 

[jpmxrider489]

Like he said, most common is .20. And .60 is that common. My guess is that block has been through a lot. I think he just wants his problem to be someone elses.

looks like a good project with a good price id get it

Its going to be my daily driver most of the time so would it be more practical to sell the 30 over block and just get a stock one our a 20 over and get forged pistons for the 20 over? Putting out together would be no problem i just don't want to but it and end up with a pile of scrap. Does anybody have a block they would trade or sell for this one?

 

[SupremeDsm]

I have a block. Text me at 317-270-0740. My name is Chris.

Idk but I don't need a 30 over block. So if I buy this would anyone, want to buy the 30 over block? With the forged pistons and everything.

Its not .3 over, it is .030 over. The increase in displacement would actually be .03 liters which is totally negotiable. People don't normally bore engines 30 over for performance gains, It is done to clean up the cylinder walls during the rebuild.
