what would u do??

 ok,,,say u have a 98 eclipse gs with a hahn stage 2 turbo w fmic, hks blow off vavle, 2 stage fuel pump &  comp. stock internals......... you have a $6,000 dollar budged to sup up the motor what would you do??????

Most people will answer get a GSX with that... if you plan sticking on this one though, beef up the internals, cilinders, rods, bearings, get a more resistent head gasket cuz the one you have will boom, and if its a 98 like mine, id take it to a full service specially on the suspension, you dont want having one thats almost 10 years there, with that youll be able to crank up the boost to around 15, i think (correct me people), the stock crank should be fine up to 300 hp (reachable on a 420a? lots of mods....) and if i was you id get a lightweight flywheel, there you go, 6000 spent, EASY... a third or more on just the internals.

You could get A few grand out of your car and add 6k to it and you could build an O MY JESUS GSX

ya.. sell your car and put even more into a GSX..  You will be a lot happier.

no chance my car is bad as ****..shaved handles & gas door painted black with blue pearl,, real carbon fiber wings west wing,, 19" spider knock off rims koni coil overs on all 4's...interior comp. fiberglessed smooth & painted black..sparko wheel & seats w 4 point harness. full stero system fiber glass with real!!!! carbon fiber accents.

pics?

yea how do i post em up??/

click the post reply button, then click on upload pics, then browse, then take tem off your computer and pst them                         or you could create a photobucket account and upload them there and give us the link

Well, it sounds like you've put a lot of time and money into her already so my opinion would be for you to stay with what you have and build the internals and get a 4 layer cometic and balance too.

**edit...Lol, I'm basically agreeing with KN ...and the 420a is capable of 300chp so be careful.**

LOL, i know it can but... $$$$$$$$ hahaha, thats prolly the main issue with the 420a.... that and headgaskets

Get the GSX. More bang for the buck.

accordinh to hahn racecraft i could get up to 450hp & low 11 in the qtr,, beef up the lower end internals, get the hahn port fueller, crank up the boost, steel head gasket, msd ignition box new valve springs & retaining clips.... thank should soak up all  6 g's!!!!!!!!  whay do u guys think??????

pics?.......Personally I wouldn't do that. Youve got yourself a show car, with some go, but its just not a race car. I saw just finish it up as a show car, then start on a gsx. You could air-ride your car, lay it out at a show, 3 wheel motion, bring trophys home. Then have your GSX build goin in the mean time.

that is also a really good option

What would i do? I know you dont want to and wont but i would sell the current car, get whatever out of it you could and add that to the 6K. You could build/buy a BEAST of a GSX with that kind of money.

Hahn is trying to sell you a product..  Sure with enough money you might, MIGHT be able to reach that..   But an 11 second front wheel drive Eclipse GS is hard to come by...   I dont think Ive even seen one..  Either b/c no one has done it... Or no one wants to spend that much money into a GS...

Ding, we have a winnaaaaa, give that man the prize.

Hahn has done a really good job of filling a niche market. Ever wonder why Hahn has no real competition on this platform? Think about it, how many really fast fwd 420a's have you seen? Hahn does build a nice kit, but that platform is really limited. To make it fast would probably mess up or have you undoing many of the "show" mods you have.

GET THE GSX.

what motor is in the gsx?????????  i know its all wheel drive but what else makes it so special?

4g63....it comes stock with as much horsepower as you might have now..:)

right now i'm at 300 hp with 350 fpt...i was hoping to get 375-400 hp......but maybe  that cant be done??? 

Cmon guy, I'm dyin for pics rite now. I havent seen anyone on these forums pull tht much power out of a 420a. I wanna see time slips, dyno vids, just something. Engine bay pics. Hook us up.

Just doing the "freebie" mods on a 4g63 can get you 300 hp without any real parts changing.

I seriously doubt you have 300hp
