the 3rd gen eclipse has a 3L sohc motor that the avenger guys are swapping on a regular basis, mainly because of the aftermarket parts available for the 6g72.... the 6g73 2.5 uses the exact same heads as the 3L.... the real only difference is the bottom end which is bored out a little.... the 3L is same as 3000gt USDM v6, not the JDM v6, which is much larger..... in other news, the first turbo v6 awd avenger is done.... MWAHAHAHA

Must be 30 or older what are you doing in here?

What do you mean 30 and older? You have to be older than 30 to have seen top gun before? I am actually 23. No worries. I was just messin with ya.

the JDM 6g72 DOHC and USDM 6g72 DOHC Jspec in the 3/s is the exact same motor for the N/A.

 

[highgrindr]

......except that they are sohc, not dohc

 

[GSGoinFast]

swapping in a NA 3000GT motor will only give you 220hp... now swapping in the 3oooGT VR4 twin turbo v6... thats a different story!!!

 

[jasonlee]

i was just curious...

has anybody ever seen or done a v6 conversion into a 2 gen??

now that my awd avenger project is so close to being all finished up just thinkin of new ideas

 

[DSMSpyder99]

yea there was a thread about a year ago with a 3Gen v6 in a 2Gen. I think the guy was selling it on Ebay. IMHO its a waste of a swap that V6 has no power my moms 1998 Accord V6 walks all day on GT or GTS Eclipse

 

[Initial DSM]

Rather, I'd like to see a 2.6L Conquest engine/tranny in a 2G DSM, hence making it true RWD. (Not my original idea, actually a mechanic where I go to thought of it..)

 

[bluesnow]

a V6 would be a waste of time inless you put in 3000gt twin turbo motor. I dont think that would be possible plus it would be a waste of money.

 

[lowavenger96]

Umm Avenger and Sebring there it is....

 

[Turbo 420a]

There was a picture floating around here a while ago of a 3000gt V6 inside a 2nd gen Eclipse engine bay... A lot of people said they thought it was fake, was an interesting picture though.. anybody have it?

 

[Doug99RS]

The 2.5L and 3.0L v6's should fit in the engine bay with minimal to no modifications to the firewall. The Chrysler Sebring Coupes from 95-99 had a 2.5L v6 in them and they are the same chassis as the talon/eclipse. However, you will run in to problems when you want to throw a turbo in to the equation because it is a much tighter fit than the 4 cyl. Plus I don't know of anyone offering a turbo kit for those two engines. Good luck with it though.

I would be really interested in seeing that too

 

[Initial DSM]

Not the 3000gt V6 but a V6. here:

 

[1stGENracer]

must of had the 420a before

 

[ITSME4G63]

man instead of trying to swap a v6 into the 2g, they should make a 4g63t swap for the 3g eclipse, i mean cmon that thing needs to get some balls, that car need help, its screaming HELP on the inside!

My thoughts also

 

[miteclgst]

I can confirm that that is an avenger engine in that 2G eclipse, the owner used to be in my car club and yes he did have a 420a but he blew it up. He swapped in the avenger motor because it was cheaper and more easily available, I can say the thing did take a lot of time and fabrication to get it to run right, I believe the guy who did the swap some how had to rig up the 2 ECUs one from the original 420a and another from the avenger motor.

 

[bclipse96]

yeah i am sure a 200 horsepower engine in a 2nd generation eclipse would be a waste of time. I am so sick of you people hating on the 3rd generation eclipse. I have one and I have a second gen and I like both of them. When I get finished with my "slow" 3rd gen I think it will be mighty impressive and I will let you guys see some numbers first in the hopes that it may shut some of your mouths.

 

[Turbo 420a]

This was the photo I remembered. My mistake, not a 3000gt motor.

Here's that thread.
