3G Rebuild BUILD-UP

So I plan on buying a crap motor and rebuilding it for some fun to swap into my 02' Eclipse GT at a far later time :D, So my suggestion is for my V6 engine, what should I do to build her for some power internally so she can handle a good amount of boost. (I'm lookin to get the motor around 400-500 Horse but capable of doing more with a better turbo on her)

www.tearstone.com   His built motors are insane for the 3G so far the v6 is the best performing v6s I have seen.  youll MUCH lower compression pistons

make sure you get the 3.5 egnine =D haha they are starting to do that now it hink.

a guy in my area has 386whp in his 3g v6...it has a RIPP supercharger with supporting mods...if that helps. 

I remember when the 3g's were pointless in modding and really fricken expensive..  Good to see its come a long ways and pushing some good power these days 

I planned on buying the short block from tearstone, but what should I do with my heads and should I buy the performance intake manifold from there as well? with the expanded throttle body?  Keep the ideas comin people, I have plenty of time to contemplate my actions (lack of money powers our dreams)

dude the 3Gs are in DSM relm kind of these days.  the 4G64 powered ones are tipping of in the 600HP range these days.  of course lots and lots of $$$$ and still FWD but 600HP is insane.  The Ripp kit usually does around 420ish with the stage III

Ya..  Thats what im saying..  I never wanted a 3g because you didnt have the turbo motor in it, and they were lucky to be pushing 300 hp...  Now they have some good stuff out for them with some good hp output 

Im glad they came up with some bolt ons and motor work for them b/c they were kind of an embarassment for power when they first came out..

Tearstone would be the best person in the 3G world to talk to, Emonz is right...

i tried dealing with ripp, and they didnt return any of my emails or phone calls...also, ive heard of quality control issues with some of their stuff.

not fun.  if i owned a 3g i'd definatly go Supercharger... there aren't nearly as many SC cars out there as there are TC and i like to be unique.  This is the reason for looking at 02-03 Cobra's when i was looking at new cars, and sorry to say i'd definatly be "trading" on the whole import scene by getting a personalized license plate saying "IETRICE" lol but along w/ my 2.4l KB, i don't think anybody would argue when i whine by them though.

i wouldnt go SC on a 3g. You get way better response out of the TC. So when you say unique, kinda like TCing a 420a . Unique isnt always good

I've already decided that I'm going to Turbo Charge it.  Should  I try to buy a blown motor for like 100 bucks or something, or go to my local junkyard and pick up a motor for $550 that they "say" runs?"

glad to hear that =D youll see more of a power increase and efficiency with the TC then the SC. and for the motor... just go to tearstone.com.. get that short block or long block.. OR you could buy mine tehe... i decided to go with the 3.5 switch over.

if you are planning on fulllllly building this motor than there's no use in paying more for a running one when ur gonna be replacing everything anyways.   Just try to find a blown one.   Then let the parts flow in

Why are you switching over to the 3.5?

bigger displacement more power not much but a difference  about 20hp increase and 60trq  for N/A=D and even better for the FI also my car died.. and it will make it better for my new tranny and engine... so you can buy my short block =D
 
the engine is still in packagin =D ready to be shipped to you

Lmao, I don't have that kind of money, or much at all.  My mother has Cervical Cancer and has been out of work for a few months so I'm paying the bills and have been for a while now.  She won't be back at work until late may... So it will be a much longer time before I can afford pretty much anything...
