i was on a program called alldata at my votech school, and noticed that there was an option for a turbo for my eclipse. were the 420A engines built with forged internals?

I lol'd.

The turbo is for the 4G63. The 420A is built strong, but not strong enough to beat the hell out of with 12 psi of boost on a motor with 150,000 miles on it. The pistons are Cast and the Rods are powdered aluminum if I recall correctly. Rebuilt with forged internals they have shown to be nearly bullet proof.

thanks man, i was pretty sure the 420 wouldn't have come with forged internals but i figured why not be sure so i don't make any stupid assumptions and blow up my car
