i love my car and want to do a little upgrading but not sure the best route to go. i have a base rs but i want to engine swap and run a turbo. also not sure which motor i should look into or what other model motors will fit in my car or will have little mod necassary to work. is awd something i can do and how much work will i be putting into this? can someone please give me some feedback on my project car!!!

thanks
Envious

96 eclipse rs

 

honestly if you want all-wheel drive then id find a gsx, thats going to have the turbo motor and your all wheel drive and you can find them out there if for 3-4-5 grand if your patient and depending what condition your looking at, that will be a great winter car and will def be worth the money in my mind

you can however do a 46g3 motor swap into your car I THINK!!!!! might want to take some advice from the pros on this site but if you can, put a turbo motor from a gst or a gsx then that will be a fun swap as well,

 

i was just looking at a previous post down the board a little ways and you would have to swap an evo engine in because the pullys and the engin mounts are reversed for a eclipse 4g63 motor

like i said in the post before this -- just do your research and be patient and youll find a solid gst or gsx with a fresh rebuilt motor and a guy whose just sick of it -- theres your all wheel drive possibly and your turbo for 4 grand

 

If you want a turbo on your car your better off building the motor you have and TCing it. But if you dont plan on spending 5k+ then dont bother. Just wait it till you can find a gsx, especially if your set on AWD becuase you simply cant do it with your car

 

thanks im not too set on the AWD i was jus wondering if its economically possible. as far as the turbo i was tryin to not buy a second car but that mite be the route i take. once i get the AWD ill jus upgrade from there. thanks again
