Hi i recently bought a 2006 eclipse gs as it is my first car i own but i notice all the power in it gets lost due to its heavy wieght so i wonder how much will it cost to turbo charge it and will it cancel the warranty on it.

well for turbos i know hahn racecraft is looking for a project car for this because theya re so new and bodystyles have changes turbokits are not that avalable for this car yet compared to previouse years. as for the warentee it most likly would void the motor but what they dont knwo wont hurt them LMAO.

as far as i know, there are no companies currently marketing a turbo kit for the 4G eclipse. there are a couple of companies prototyping and testing turbo kits, but none of them are ready to be sold. you could go with a custom turbo kit. it would probably run you around 2-3 grand.
look into turbo kits for the lancer ralliart. you have the same engine.

i would also ask you to READ. can he buy the kit today? no. can he buy a kit from anywhere? no. none have been produced yet. every company is in the prototype stage. which is exactly what i said.

there are other ways to get HP but none will give you the amount that a turbo will. look into intakes and exhaust. i don't know how many other performance parts have been designed for the 4G.

Yeah but intake and exhaust are going to be pointless if he decides to go turbo. The intake will be replaced whent he turbo is done. The exhaust he could skate for a while if he upgrades to a 2.75" pipe and aftermarket exhaust. Also look at removing weight from the car. The lighter the car the better the power/weight ratio. Depending what you're able/willing to do you can take out the spare and the jack, remove the sound deadening material under the carpet/behind body panels, remove unnecessary bracketing and metal... Just a thought.

well is shares the lancer R\A motor so parts should be availible rather quickly. and yes by all means your warreny will be down the tubes if you do that. mitsu voids an EVO warrenty for just a boost controller if they see it that is

i would agree, but theres no telling how long it will be before a turbo kit comes out. it could be over a year before a reliable kit comes out.

A 4G69 motor is a 4G69 motor, that said, parts used on a Ralliart Lancer are the same, but buyer beware ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS SEEN ON THE CAR VOID YOUR 10YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. Do you want to risk it?????????

engine bay size may differ so parts may not be able to swap

Yeah things like a CAI and an exhaust arent going to swap between the 2

exactly. there is a good chance that they are swapable but its not always a given just b/c the engines are the same.

If you read the original post i never said hahn sold one for the car only that they were looking for project cars. besides teh link at the bottom that said build your own.

Antoerh question for you guys I have never tuned a car but is it possible to make the engine send power to all wheels meaning front and back like the evolution without changing the engine.
Sanguinius
1/7/2006 1:59:51 PM
Dude that's something you don't even want to consider. That's a trans swap not to mention adding in all the gear to be an AWD vehicle. Another tranfer case and replacing a whole axle. EXPENSIVE as well as difficult.

i would suggest that for the next week, you do nothing but read every post in the forum. even though you won't find much about the 4G eclipse, its all the same theory with the other eclipses. it seems that you know next to nothing about cars, so i suggest that you do TONS of research before you decide to even touch your car.
PS. power to all wheels is call All-Wheel Drive. Your eclipse is a FWD. you will have to make extensive modifications to make your eclipse an AWD eclipse.

well it will help you from asking questions that have been askedd 100 times over then you can post if you dont find an answer ya know....as far as that goes I dont think we have discussed swapping AWD into a 06 eclipse yet other than the Ralliart GSX
