2003 Eclipse... A few questions

I am thinking about buying one of these cars. I do not know much about cars but I am learning. Can I buy one of these with a turbo in it? If not, can I add a turbo to it? What other mods could I do to this car for it to become really fast? I don't plan on racing it a whole lot but I want it to be hella fast just in case... LOL. Thanks in advance!

The 2000+ Eclipses do not come from the factory with a turbo option or trim line. There are a couple of aftermarket turbo kits, but expect them to be in the 3000+ plus range plus installation. Also be aware that when adding an aftermarket turbo kit, this GREATLY increases the chances that the engine will failure prematurely. This is even more true if your not very aware of what you are getting yourself into.

If you are interested in turbo performance from Mitsubishi, I highly recommend having a look at the EVO.

dude its her first car, an evo, yea right. if you want turbo i would recommend a 97-99 eclipse gsx or gs-t, gsx though since its all wheel drive, without that torque steer that a lot of front wheel drive cars have. if you re gonna get the newer eclipse, you can turbo it, but its gonna cost quite a bit, like what paulblack said, 3000+. then you have to build the bottom end of that motor to make it turbo safe, or make it last longer, and that adds even more money. you can do basic mods like intake, exhaust, and headers. it wont give you a lot, but it ll give you noticeable gains. i wouldnt get the 4 cylinder version of it, no power, no speed, so id go with the v6.

dude its her first car, an evo, yea right

I didn't know it was her first car. But if your in the market for a 26-27K Eclipse GTS, it's only a little more for the EVO. Plus, the EVO is no more difficult to own than a late 2G DSM IMHO.

If it is truly a first car, then I agree about getting the late model 2G.

so can I get your number? :sunglasse
i'll call u up and we can talk about cars and stuff :D

Why do you want my number? LOL....

I have a super T25 turbo, I'll tell you how to put it on your car

I have free nights and weekends :sunglasse

Ok. That sounds like a whole lot of spending money that isn't really necessary. I can flat out buy a car like an MR2 turbo and just add intake exhaust and a boost controller, not spending that much money and still be fast. I'll probably go that route. Thanks for the advice...

hmm ok, guess that means i'm not gettin it, haha
i'm goin 2 bed now :D

LOL. Ur funny.

you can get a 95-99 eclipse gsx or gst, which comes turbocharged, and do the same thing.

If I wanted him to have my number I would have given it toi him. I have a b/f and don't give out my number. The number on my site is a number for agents to get a hold of me.

wow wow calm down
I was only joking
dont get your panties in a bunch

edit: and so what if you have a b/f, what does that have to do with me?
haha

I wasn't trying to sound bitchy or anything... I was just stating something.

Just answer her damned question.

03 eclipses are slower than any other. You want something fast, and brand new. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Subaru WRX. Dodge SRT4

If your going used, 2g eclipse gsx. Turbo. AWD. If you don't mind the look of 1g eclipse, go for a 92-94 eclipse gsx, just as fast as the 2g gsx, less problems(crankwalk).

I know rev hard makes a turbo kit for the 2003 models. Once they started making eclipses in a V6 they discontinued using the stock turbo option. My advice to you would be to hold off on a turbo kit unless you are a serious driver. If you don't know much about cars or forced induction for that matter you could end up doing serious damage to your engine or motor, which is major $$ to repair. The stock GTS is quick anyways, or if you prefer faster test drive a lancer evo, they're quicker. If you insist on aftermarket parts try intake and/or exhaust

LMAO, Thats what I was thinking the entire time I was reading this thread, im glad someone went ahead and said it so I dont have to. Anyways girl...we have an Eclipse 2000+ section on here so give us DSM people our peace of mind. Unless your getting a 1g or 2g eclipse then I gladly welcome you.

Having a girl in a car forum is like throwing crack into a rehab clinic for the homeless:uhoh:
