Helllllo! I'm Kristen...new to this whole thing i just wanted to introduce myself...and my sexi car...i've got a 98 eclipse gs...its a wee bit slow...i'm workin on it...as of right now shes not running......i'm not happy about that um so i'm looking for a new engine any suggestions as to where i should look?? i'd rather buy a stock turbo'd engine and try and find a tranny to go with it...idk HELP! ..........yes i'm a girl and i DO know what i'm talking about

 

It would end up being cheaper to sell what youve got and buy a GST. The 4g63t (turbo motor) wont drop into a 420a RS/GS platform...

 

BUt, welcome to MF!

 

thing is................haha i just bought it a few months agoand i got ripped off to be honest...it was what i wanted so i payed it...anyway i still owe and i can't sell my car haha...so should i just get the stock gs engine again?? and just do work to that??

 

Welcome and actually the 4g63 can go into any dsm...just takes work. enjoy the forum.

 

Welcome to the forums, if youre looking for a daily driver, keep the gs, if what you want is an insane ammount of power get a gst or gsx, engine swaps are possible between these but are absolutely not worth it, not to mention it would include quite some mods... welcome once again

 

Welcome to the site, it's a friendly place, I'm sure you'll feel like this is nearly a second family in no time at all. Any idea as to why it isn't running? Do you really need an entire new engine?

 

i don't really need a new one but its probably the cheapest and easiest way..i find out tonight what kinda damage is actually done inside ...after work i'm tearin it apart haha......i miss my car!

 

Aye, I feel the same way about my 3000GT. Good luck! And it's gonna be fun tearing apart an engine. Gosh I wish I had one lying around I could dismantle, fix, and put back together.

 

Welcome to the site. If you are lookin for a used engine stock try car-part.com its a site where most major good junk yards around the country list there items. you can break it down to exactly what your looking for. good luck
