So I plan on buying a crap motor and rebuilding it for some fun to swap into my02' Eclipse GTat afar latertime , So my suggestion is for my V6 engine, what should I do to build her for some power internally so she can handle a good amount of boost. (I'm lookin to get the motor around 400-500 Horse but capable of doing more with a better turbo on her)

 

www.tearstone.com His built motors are insane for the 3G so far the v6 is the best performing v6s I have seen. youll MUCH lower compression pistons

 

make sure you get the 3.5 egnine =D haha they are starting to do that now it hink.

 

a guy in my area has 386whp in his 3g v6...it has a RIPP supercharger with supporting mods...if that helps.

 

I remember when the 3g's were pointless in modding and really fricken expensive.. Good to see its come a long ways and pushing some good power these days

 

I planned on buying the short block from tearstone, but what should I do with my heads and should I buy the performance intake manifold from there as well? with the expanded throttle body? Keep the ideas comin people, I have plenty of time to contemplate my actions (lack of money powers our dreams)

 

dude the 3Gs are in DSM relm kind of these days. the 4G64 powered ones are tipping of in the 600HP range these days. of course lots and lots of $$$$ and still FWD but 600HP is insane. The Ripp kit usually does around 420ish with the stage III

 

Ya.. Thats what im saying.. I never wanted a 3g because you didnt have the turbo motor in it, and they were lucky to be pushing 300 hp... Now they have some good stuff out for them with some good hp output

Im glad they came up with some bolt ons and motor work for them b/c they were kind of an embarassment for power when they first came out..

 

Tearstone would be the best person in the 3G world to talk to, Emonz is right...

 

i tried dealing with ripp, and they didnt return any of my emails or phone calls...also, ive heard of quality control issues with some of their stuff.
