twin turbo eclipse
 

ok here is the thing i read as much as i can in this sections and a few others but i have a qwestion on a twint turbo set up

ok i have a 1998 mitsubishi eclipse RS and i want a little more power with something no one has done in this twon yet for eclipses, so i was thinking of a twin turbo set up. i know usialy for twin turbos u need two diff set of exhaust manifold but what if i made a custom maifoald, well baisicly two manifolds and hooked up two turbos that spool at around 5psi would that work or is there another way i can do it or how would i be able to get a twin turbo in my eclipse.

would it be to much for a stock motor
would i have to do mods and if so what kind???

(that is if i have ehough room,but lets say i did how would i be able to achive this)

im new at this and iv learned as much as i can by reading all these forms so im not an expert.

Go to DSM Tuners and do a search. Half of the people will say go with a single turbo set-up and the other half will say sell your car for a GS-T or GS-X.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

i'd elaborate but i gotta go in like 2 seconds

but here's a carbed V8 TT project BUT it's basically what u'll need to do
http://turbostang.oldwestracing.com/

you can also check out toohighpsi.com for another carbed TT V8 project

it'll help you get the idea a lot better

if no1's posted by the time i get to school, i'll add more

Very, very true but alot of those guys know their ---- when it comes to DSM's. There are alot of cool people there but you are right. They have more than their share of A-holes there too!

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

I would bet money that they would say you should just sell your car and get a GS-T Or GSX. :-\

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

yup, if it doesn't have a 4G63 and AWD they dun like it

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

you would need 2 air flow meters 2 mani 2 turbos 2 wastgates some daft way of piping it all up and if your going to run each turbo at 5psi that dose not meen you would have 10psi and it would cost you a feecking lot of money
then you have to set it up go for a biger turbo and buy a home with the rest of your money :P ;D 8)

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

twin turbo, what a stupid idea :P

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

anything can be done, best question i can ask is how fast does your wallet wanna go?

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

It would be better if it were one manifold made for two turbos.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

twin turbo kits are suprisingly really really cheap if you build it yourself

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

some say it is gonna be cheap and others say it will be expensive so what will it be im thinking it would be about double what a home made turbo is gonna be about. would that be a good ball park range

i also was looking up last night at twin turbos and i read something like two turbos hooked up back to back
turbo #1 is a smaller turbo and spools up faster for aceleration and a bigger turbo turbo#2 hooked up right after turbo #1 and it spools up at a later RPM would this be a better idea than the one i had befor

basicaly know in debating between twin turbo on two exusta manifolds or one with two outlets
or
turbos back to back smaller one and a biger one
or
just a big single turbo

what is the best idea??

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

The best route is one big turbo. My twin turbo kit cost me $350 to build.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

1 big turbo the twin turbo has been done on a skyline r33 gts 2.5 turbo into nissan 200sx they made it a twin turbo it cost them £10000 or$14000

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

I like how the wrote this about their top secret R34
And what a car it is. Full race 700bhp motor, bullet-proof transmission, fully prepped bodyshell, trick suspension, eight-pot brakes… If there was an automotive equivalent of pornography, this would be it. Car porn at its most lascivious. So let’s begin with some up-close scrutiny of the bodyshell.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

this thread is borring, its not impossible, its not to expensive. jus depends on what u wanna do with it, or how fast you wanna be or how nice you want it to look, u could spend almost nothing if u kno how to weld and have a good idea on how ur gonna route everything. jeff made a twin turbo ls-vtec in his crx, made it all fit even with a huge ass intercooler, whitey got his single cam twin turbo nitrous car all setup and didn't seem to cost him much at all. jus depends on what route u take, ugly but fast, or nice and fast... ur rs motor probably wont handle to much boost, why dont u start with gettin the cyclone motor and doin the twin turbo setup while its out the car and then make it fit and route ur piping n ----... have fun.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

Sell the car and get a GSX.

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

OK STOP THE BULLSHIT IF YOU WANT IT BUILD IT ALL WE ARE SAYING IS IT WILL COST ALOT OF$$$$$$$$$ AND YOU WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER WY DO YOU THINK THE BIG BHP SKYLINES GO WITH 1 BIG TURBO wy dont you put a s charger on with your turbo
that can be done .thats diffrent! ;D

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

I would actually like to see someone do that as there next project

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

Twin turbos at a measley 5psi are going to put out the same power as a single turbo at 5psi.

If you dont know 'what other mods you will need', you're thinking too far ahead. no offense.

I heard those motors are crap (just what I've heard) Get a 4G63

Re:twin turbo eclipse
 

I don't know about these motors. but the 2nd gen RS and GS cars are basically Dodge Neons with eclipse bodies and interior.
