The second gen base model Eclipse has the Dodge Neon motor, I dont think you can fake a GST without doing a motor swap with the wiring harness and everything. Turbo kits for that motor are hard to find and expensive, even manifolds.

no im not faking the model its gonna be a gst, the 2nd gen motor crankwalks or something so im gonna get a first gen motor with the turbo manifold and it will be better then a gst so its not like im faking a model

To bad its not a 91 or 92 model.....those things are gems! My friend ran 22 pounds of boost on his stock motor and ran a 12 something with street tires. Not to shabby

You could put gst everything on that car, but your pink slip will still say that your full of ----. Ripping people off is punishable by death at HMT

haha read the whole post before you start running your mouth

Elite CRX

At the performance shop i used to work at, some guy brought in a Eclipse RS with a fully built RS motor with a 20g turbo on it and dam, that should could run. We had a lot of tunning problems with it but when we tuned the best we could that bitch would go 18 psi in second and loose traction as if it was in first gear. I was suprised at what that motor could do. So those motors have potential if it is built and tunned correctly (with boost ofcourse).

DOT standards say its illegal to put an older engine in a newer car... so dont get your engine codes checked.

ok thanks for the info 45psi yeah im sure this engine could be built pretty good its 2.0 dohc and its got more power then my LS did. Some people told me they have really thin piston rings so im just gonna drive it for awhile and buy my friends turbo zc crx for $500 and built up a 1g GSX motor and get all the drivetrain parts to make it awd there is a shop that does it for $2000 plus parts so i will be getting a 96 gsx for like 4k i doubt i could find a 2nd gen gsx in this condition for less then 5 and that would still be a good deal.

Do me a favor and post pics and your receipts when your home cooked GSX is done. I have a hard time believing $2000 will do it. But hey, I'm not a DSM guy... prove me wrong.

well i gotta find parts (that work) from the junkyards, ask road race how much they charge thats where i heard does the conversions for 2k labor u supply parts, im not doing it anymore i got offered 3grand for the car and im gonna buy a h22 or a gsr for my 93 hatch now, i dont really wanna deal with finding all the parts so this will work out better but u can ask road race i just heard it on a dsm forum
