i owned the gts and the best thing i did to it was get rid of it, the motors can not hold a large amount of boost. trade it for another car

Well yeah i heard that the 4cylinders in eclipse's can take up to 400whp... but i also read an article in Dsport magazine talking about a guy with an s2000, 4cylinder runnin about the same engine and he brought it up to 400whp, he got bored so he honed the cylinders to accept 9.2 to 1 pistons. added a f22c1 crankshaft and with 91 octane pump gas, was runnin 450whp and with racing c16 gas, ran 528 hp. this made me re-think about an engine swap. but i am still considering the idea.
