Whats up people..New to the forums here and also new to the dsm world just a turner for louisiana looking to have a little fun with this car

I have a 97 Eclipse RS with Aem cold air intake greddy 4-2-1 header obx intake manifold obx underdrive pulley greddy catback exhaust and a zex 75 wet shot..looking to drop the zex and pick up a turbo..i dont wanna be in the really high hp ranger cuz it is my DD..just want something with a little extra kick..i wanna run a turbo on stock internals..can that even be done?...i want somewhere between 8-10 psi?..

 

yes i can be done... not cheap though if you do it right. stock rings can take 8-9psi. 10 has been done but that's pushin it. you'll need:
manifold
turbo
wastegate
IC
ICpiping
bov
possibly a clutch
injectors
fuel pump
wideband
tuning deivce - safcII, greddy emanage
tune.
mind you that this is only 8-9lbs. all in all you are looking about 2-3k to tubo the car, if you want more power you'll have to rebuild the bottom end which costs apx 1000-1300. Then ur good up to 20psi until the head need work.
Welcome to the forum!!

 

Hmm sooo i can do it thanx for the help...i would build the bottom end but i did that on my camaro already soo i already have my fast car..soo i just want somethin with a little extra kick and i love the way the eclipse looks...soo you'll be hearing alot from me here cuz i have no idea what to do when it comes to imports

 

take my word for it man.... it's SOOOOO much easier to just sell ur eclipse (you could prolly get about 5k out of it w/ the nitrous set up) and get a gs-t or gsx.... it's so much cheaper, simpler, and smarter!!! i was prettty damn close to having mine turbo'd. i had a complete seperate block, knifedged crank, bottom end rebuild, turbo, manifold, ic, icpiping, bov and boost gauge then realized i STILL had to get wideband, tuning program/device, injectors, clutch.... it's so much smarter to juet go w/ a gs-t or gsx. you can pick up a stock gs-t for about 5000-6000. gsx for between 6500-8500. and there are deals out there!!!

 

oh and welcome sir! enjoy the site.
