<FONT color=blue>hey whats up ppl...i have a 96 Mitsu Eclipse 5 spd...andi really want to turbocharge my car...my question is.....would it be more expensive swaping engines....like putting a GST engine....or just buying a turbocharger for my car...hook me up with some good websites...and some advice on what yall think. thnx...</FONT></P>

 

<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">You might have a problem just putting on a turbo because usually a non-turbo motor has a higher compression ratio than a turbo motor.Plus,you will need a new turbo specific ECU and associated wiring and sensors.I can't help you with aftermarket turbos asI am unfamiliar with them.My car is an 94 GS non-turbo and I feel your pain withnot having enough power.Good luck, maybe someone in the know can help you out.

 

Hey well thanks alot anyways....im still going to try to find out anyway....you never know maybe someone in here might know something and help me out....thanks anyways

Now you could rebuild a new motor and when done just do a swap or you can turbo your own. It really is up to you and how much money your willing to spend and what your tring to accomplish.</P>

 

i just bought a 97 GS in which the previous owner installed a turbo on the 2.0 non-turbo engine. this is completely fine. look up hahn racecraft turbo systems which are made specifically for this sort of thing.you will be faster than a GST, and pay way cheaper insureance. i think your looking at about 3 grand in the end.

 

I am still on the huntfor power but I came across www.hahnracecraft.com</P>


and it might have a turbo kit that you could use. I, myself, have a 97 gs and am thinking of getting a stage 2 turbo kit. I am still looking so that I can compare. I got a while before I decide but I want to tune my whip sooner than later. anyways, I hope this link is helpful........</P>
