How much longer do you think a 1991 Eclipse GS, with 170,000 miles on it, and decently treated will last for? Like an average number. Cause i found it for like 1600 bucks and i figured it's a steal.

07/12/04 Hello 1992 MR2 Turbo!

A 1991 Eclipse GS for $1,600 with 170,000 miles is headed for the junkyard. Don't even bother. You can find a 91 Eclipse GSX with 50,000 less miles for around $1,000.

But to answer your question, a 170,000 mile 6 bolt NA 4G63 will last plenty long as long as it is properly maintained. I've seen a couple 200,000 mile cars running around just fine. There was a 90 GSX with 230,000 or so miles running 12's at the shootout last year.

finding a 1g GSX in the tri state area (NJ,NY, PA) and i live in NJ, and it might be a little hard to find.

07/12/04 Hello 1992 MR2 Turbo!

i live in indiana and ended up buying one from NY. just keep looking, sooner or later(probly the latter) you will find one.

btw, if i do a boost leak test on the inlet of the turbo, will it test the vac lines or just the ic pipes?

If your in NJ , I just saw a 1g gst on the trader for 1700. i would get that instead on the N/A.
