AMT Eclipse

Can anyone direct me to the redo thread of the engine? Or kinda tell me what needs to be done to make it all right? Thanks.

i say just glue the hood down. lol. Too much shit to fix.

SVT, I don't know quite what has to be fixed exactly, but, if you were planning to do it F&F style, I'd suggest buying the Revell metal body build up kit. It may be a few dollars more, but is very correct in the engine department. Also, here's what I gather. The motor needs to be turned around, engine on drivers side of car, tranny on passenger. Intake needs to be on the firewall's side with the tube coming from behind above the tranny. kinda like this

That's looking up, hope it helps, too bad I dont have pics of my N/A 4g63 so I could help you out more.

Disregard the dots, they're there so I can show you what's what without the server fudging my post.

Not really..i gotta get away from replica for a while. The S2K is really getting to me, i was only planning a custom/street look and was thinking of redoing the turbo piping to include a FMIC..Are there any reference pictures available or someone who has redone this kit? Thanks

Well, check out my other post now, should help you out a bit. I'm not sure where the compressor feeds air into, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Does anybody have a picture of the AMT Eclipse engine detail? I'm wondering if maybe they modelled it with one of the base model, non-turbo 2.0 L engines, which were NOT 4G63 based, and sat opposite how the 4G63 sits. I believe they were used in the neons. If that's the case, it'll be tough to make it look like a 4G63.

The Revell metal body build-up kit has the Turbo-Charged 4g63, with very good detail, only downside is you'll have to strip the paint and decals from the body for a custom color.

Are there any pics out there of the diecast done? Or anyone who has done it so they can take pics? Thanks. My Idea is to turn around the burbo part and re-route all the pipes..minor trimming of stuff though

Look here, I'm rebuilding mine: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=157224
