2g vs 3g which to buy

[Reveloution00]

Im with this Guy its cool when you put things on your car im mean you can actually say look at what i did ,though the 3g is not as fast as other models
and doesnt have as many aftermarket parts still go with what you have ---

the '05 GS is about $19500 + $4000 for 300whp
the '05 GT is about $23500 + $4000 for 350whp

so youre gonna pay about $4000 for about 50whp. so it would all depend on how much you want to spend

about tuning, if you put an untuned turbo kit on any car, then youre going to blow the engine. it doesnt matter what engine it is

I was asking because I am still thinking about buying an eclipse new and I want to see what the differences where. So it could get a gs with a 4g64 motor, turbo it, and have 300whp, really roughly about 270-280 on the ground, save 4000 bucks, and save on insurance? cause I kinda calculated that you spend about $100 for about 2-8hp and about $1000 for about 70-150hp.

i would buy a used GS and turbo it. you can easily hit 300whp. you should be able to hit about 300whp on the stock internals

what do you mean "untuned turbo" blow engine explaine please

[andrewken]

If you go FI, you need to tune your A/F ratio(air/fuel). Running rich or lean will damage your engine severally if you do it long enough. This will "blow up your motor." To do this, you need an AFC (Air/fuel Controller) and you need to take it to a dyno.

I can't see why you would want a 3gen.... I don't care for the looks to terribly much of the 1gens but damn they can be hella fast for pretty cheap...
2gens have awesome body stylings and can go hella fast for pretty cheap...
3gens are overpriced and cost alot to get that"300hp"....

that's my

why you getting rid of the stang? Even the v6 stang has more potential performance wise.

[Sleepr awd]

more potential than what? the V6 stang has little potential that could get anywhere close to matching a dsm and even the 3g's offer a decent argument against the mustang, stock for stock a V6 eclipse should take a V6 stang w/ .8 more liters and a rwd advantage, i've got plenty of friends with mustangs and know enough to know they can't match my v6

now a GT stang is another story

Why the hell was this thread brought back?!?!?!?!?! Let it die, it has been beat to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im sorry but i dont want to go buy to turbo car. i actually want to do some work to my car to make it fast. im not gonna sell out just b/c the car comes stock with a turbo. i rode in a srt4 this past weekend, and it was awesome. but does that mean im gonna go buy a turboed car....no. im gonna turbo the car i already have.

reason were here.... read title of post.

as far as turboing your own car... cool. Go read in the racing forum there is a guy turboing his 3g and it looks like he has his head together.
But if you go back to actually caring about speed... the 3g even turboed will not compare to a 2g gsx modded. And btw the srt4 is nice but its still slow. FWD=WWD. If you really want to turbo your 3g good luck. Look at that thread in the racing forum and talk to that 3g'er.
as for the thread starter... as many other pps said here.. if you want new and "better" looks get the 3g. If you want speed and performance get a awd dsm.

...blah blah blah blah blah, its not like we're retarded, do you actually know how many people have said that?? i mean, i can't even count that high, and i'm damn near a genius, i knew that when i bought the car, and i will know it the day i buy my 1g project car, so cram it

[eclipsed4utoo]

why would i need to talk to that guy in the racing forum?
