I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 98 and I wanna go Turbo. I wanted to swap the 420a for a 4g63 but peeps always tell me that it is a bad idea. I'll go with the 420a Turbo then. I need experienced DSMers help on what mods need to be done to push some good power (300HP+). I'll rebuild the engine from A to Z so, what should I do? First of all, do I need to strengthen the block? If yes, what do you suggest?I'll come back with more questions later. Thx a lot!!

just start searching. theres more info on doing this than i can think about.

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

Get rid of the stock pistons, rings and con rod. And replace them w/ JE's and Eagle. Also bearings a new oil pump, water. Basically everything in the front of the motor. You may need to get the master gasket set from Chrysler, not Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi dealers will break your bank. One advice from experience is, don't go cheap, trust me, it's worth in the end. You'll also need a better clutch and you mind as well rebuild your transmission while you're at it. Don't rush this, you'll regret that in the end when nothing will go as you wish. Good luck.

When is the money spending going to stop on this fucking car?!

Thx forcefed. I'll search for this... I just didn't know where to start so... So you tell me that I don't need to strengthen the block... That's great. If I have any questions on something I'm not really sure of, I'll post it here. Thx guys

Just send your block to your local machine shop. Shop around because everone has different prices on different work that needs to be done.

I'm also confused about what is being said about strengthening the block. We have an iron block and a bed plate, I don't think it's going to flex. Just replace everything in the bottom end, that's all.

Any questions, send messages or comeback here, we're here for ya!

Goodluck.

Why not just give the poor kid an answer?

To get you started, most people here choose Turbo kit, then when she blows rebuild the internals. The rings usually go first, and dont push more then ~8psi (~200whp).

Rebuild (built motor) and turbo? People usually choose pistons, rods then and everything to put her back together (timing belt shit). Your going to want to drop the compressiong for boost.
doing this will give your motor that ability to take whatever you you could learn to push

When you are looking for a turbo kit. Look for an hrc or star turbo kit. Study the parts... learn what they do and how they work.

Now go study on that information.

I'm startin' to shop for a Turbo. I don't feel like bying a kit because I wanna rebuild the motor... My goal is 300HP so I'm now gathering infos on how to choose the good Turbo size, injectors size, fuel pump size, intercooler, etc... I'll search for it and if I can't get no answers, I'll ask you guys... Thx!!!
