ok i have two questions? i have a 97 mitsubishi eclipse GS and i am stuck with this car. so if i buy a turbo kit what all will i need. second question if i put it in what all do i have to do to the ecu for it to run right.

actually yours has the chrysler 420a. its a piece of shit motor dont touch it

x2. It'd be cheaper and more reliable to buy a turbo dsm then to turbo yours. But if you want to try it...go ahead. I just hope you have another daily driver available...just in case. hahaha

Depending on what you're looking for as an end result will gauge your best course of action.

There are a few success stories with Turbo'd 420As, but be prepared to spend thousands to get that engine to make the same power as a 4G63T does stock (140HP > 195HP = 55HP :O ).

a Hahn stage 2 turbo for the 420a runs like $2500 right??

140HP > 195HP
how old did you say you were again???

1 < 2

2 > 1

2 = 2

For the amount of money your going to end up spending making that 420A as fast as a turbo 4g63, you could buy the actual turbo vehicle. A really good condition TSI $3500 probably cheaper if you really look.

The OP said he had a GS which = 4G63 engine only the RS trim comes with the chrysler crap motor.

haha. hey dumbass, the 4g63 is a DSM. thats half chrysler, half mistu.

ive seen some very nice 420a turbo setups that held up to about 200hp nicely. would i do it? no. save up, build a dsm, and drop it in.

i am not trying to make it as fast as a 4g63 i like to work on my car and this is what i have right now i am trying to make sure that it is do able

actually im not a dumbass everyone on here is telling the OP that he has a 402a. I know that they are half chrysler. and yes i have seen some awesome 402a setups. But the OP's cars has a 4G63 engine, so its easier and cheaper to turbo than the 402a and 4G64.

Way to quote half the equation :thumbsup:

140 > 195 = 55HP (for those younger than 30.. going from 140 to 195 is 55HP) :cool:

That's ALOT to make up on a high compression N/T 4cyl engine even with a
turbo.

I retract what i said then my bad I for some reason was just thinkin bout Spyder GST model my bad
