RE: from honda to eclipse. what should i know
deifnately go with Hahn, it comes with a 16g which can produce some massive power, plus you can always upgrade that to a Super 16g or even a 20g turbo which would put you at about 400hp, but keep in mind that you will need at least 5K to accomplish this.

RE: from honda to eclipse. what should i know
Well....I thought about HRC and then I checked out STAR...and even though they have very nice prices, and could afford to go either way, I decided on the DIY build. So far, I've picked up a Garret t3 in pristine condition w/an internal wastegate, it came with the 420A turbo to exhaust manifold, intake filter adapter ($500). So, all I have left is the oil feed line and misc. parts (Home Depot has all the stuff I need $30 IF THAT MUCH). The biggie, is getting a FMIC and the right piping. But, i think I have solved that problem, I'll be purchasing an HKS FMIC, piping & turbo timer from a buddy of mine for $450...then all I'll have to get is a UICP from RRE or Dejon tool flanged to fit my BOV of choice. So, total, I'm at a about $980. Then comes ECU and fuel management....Synapse missing link on ebay is about $40. Then I'll most likely need a S-AFC II avg. price $250. Boost & EGT gauges, $200 (maybe less if i find them used).
Boost controller (depends on what type), varies on price.
All in all, that's not a bad deal, but this is what modding cars is all about. Hand picking your own parts and working and tinkering, til you get it just right. But, being we can get a ready-made-kit, we become lazy....lol. As I always say, I'd rather take the pride in knowing I built it from the ground up....rather than something store bought in a box.
