What's stopping you from going turbo on your motor especially since you already have plans to replace the internals??

I think they recently just ran the first 420a DSM in the 10s not ong ago... not so sure that is good potencial though it only took 10 years. and it still was unreliable thehead gaskets are never good in those cars

I know there's alot of fast turbo 420A's in (hope you guys don't mind me saying this) the 2gnt forum. Plus there's a good DIY budget turbo installation guide.

My Eclipse is not going to be fast, and I acknowledge that.
But i'll do simple little mods (Intake, strut bar, ignition upgrade, header & exhaust, and a few other things for ****s and giggles), but when its all said and done, I just want to make the car look good.
Then i'll build a helluva box and put a few speakers in it. Thinking of removing the rear seats and making a box in its place that will house two 12's and an amp.
Give it a good paint job (thinking ford racing blue), and then i'm done.

I'm already started on that by buying those rims from Agallardo. Driving 9hrs to pick them up, lol.

he could get 140, if he raised compression, had super huge cams, quad throttle boddies, bored it out to god only knows what, stroked it, and then begged for help from god.
on the other hand, he could just drop in a 4g, save alot of money, and call it a day
