Get an intake, exhuast, boost controller, 16g and you should be able to outrun a 3000gt. Plus this will be cheaper than an engine swap.

a 16g is a mitsubishi manufactured turbo. It's a decent size turbo and normal variations flow 505 cfm. It can support up to 375 crank hp, so it's more than enough for most. 99% of all people who want to go fast but also want to drive their cars daily need *only* a turbo this size. It's an excellent street turbo with good spool characteristics. Toaster_power, if you're really a newbie to all this stuff, it's best not to go head-first into turbocharging.

Maybe I missed it or something, but I'm too lazy to backtrack in this conversation. What model Eclipse are we talking about anyways? Is it a non-turbo or turbo model? Just curious so I know what is the best route to making it fast.

You're going to need a whole front clip from a turbo eclipse. You know this right? The engine bay layout for the non-turbo eclipse is total opposite from the turbo model. You're also going to have to change out the fuel lines and fuel pump because they are different.

That should come with the new front clip because not even the transmission will the the same...You will need to replace everything
