Engine swap

Hey guys, I am thinking about getting either a turbo'd 6 cyl or a turbo'd 4 cyl that are in perfect condition at an auto auction for my 2000 mitsubishi Eclipse RS 4cyl. I was wondering what eclipse engines will fit perfect into my car? Either way, then engine will be turbo'd. Also, how much horse the other engines you will tell me about have. thanks!

SEARCH!

Neither will fit because the tranny is on the wrong side.

You have a 3G 4G64 in your car those motors are very good for turbo charging actually. you can make around 300HP on the stock internals of the block.


SO in otherwords keep your motor and turbo that

Okay, so if I do that, what turbo kit do you reccomend? I have seen some full turbo kits for 900 on ebay that will allow up to 15 PSI on it. What do you think?

ebay is most likly a no no.

tearstone kit is the one you want but they are not cheap because they are top notch

00-05 3G ECLIPSE 4G64 T3T4 TURBO CHARGER KIT W/ PIPING
What do you think?

looks official to me...but just read all the sellers info and see what previous buyers say

oh and u also have to upgrade ur fuel i didnt see nothin in the kit

yeah, I did. Only bad comments were 2 adn it was just slow shipping, the others were all about great product, fast shipping. So I dunno I might buy it. suggest anything else to make sure I won't risk my engine? What max PSI should I take it to?

and the same maker makes fuel management mods..etc

see thats the thing, but when I get it installed, the place thats gonna do it says they will provide the fuel injectors and pump. So, all in all, what do u think? I'm just making sure this is all gonna be good. how much horse improvement do u think i will see?

9-15 psi....im gonna get u a link thatll explain everything on turboing 3rd gens iight gimme a sec

cool, thanks, i'll check it out and post in a sec

You know the one thing I never understood is why do they have the compressor outlet clocked the way it is. I would be so much easier to add a FMIC later if it was clocked in a "normal" position...pointing down. That way, there isn't any fitment issues and there wouldn't have to be so many ugly bends. I see for the 420a turbo kit and these, to include supercharger kits. Oh well.

it says a lot! thanks.

8.5psi will net 264whp/284twq

So do you think 10 psi is a safe number for my stock block? what would help it out to make it stronger? Aftermarket cams and pulley kit??

also, i'm gonna do this for sure, but that kit i linked you, it looks good, others want me to buy tearstone, but they are pricing at 3,800 for a kit. thats just the brand name price though.

honestly when it comes to ur car always get top knotch never settle for the cheapest ull end up kickin urself in the ass later..and for the tranny im not to sure about 3rd gens but i would get a bad ass clutch and flywheel...and if ur serious get lsd

and when it comes to havin mechanics workin on ur car dont be mr nice guy..theyll do things half ass...and act like u know everthing about ur car so they dont try to make sum **** up ......and charge extra for sumtin u dont need!

Cool, thanks. Have you ever heard of Godspeed Turbo kits?

yea i havent heard details but i would do sum research...i was told that the best intercoolers and turbos were made by slowboy

alright. thanks for everything!!
