1997 Eagle Talon Engine

Hey guys, umm I'm pretty car stupid at this point, but I'm gonna get started in my dad's shop so hopefully I can learn some more about this stuff, my question is this, I'm looking into either a 1997 or 1998 eagle talon, but I'm thinking about replacing the engine with a 3.0L DOHC v6 engine, like that of the mitsubishi 3000GT's. My questions are #1 would it fit inside the eagle, and 2 would it make it any faster? Or would this engine be appropriate? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2487317270&category=6755
The reason I was thinking of a new engine is becuase the 3000GT's DOHC has 222 HP, and gets 19/24 city to highway milage, while the talon's turbo charged engine gets like 17/22 or somthing? and the Hp=210 so I've read, okay thanks for all of your help!

Well, you could do it but why? (aside from how silly it is)

What motor do you have in it right now/ What are your goals? Whats your budget?

Try being more indepth.

It will help us.

Oh and If its a turbo engine I'll give you $200 for it. Its worthless.



Arrrrgg matie.....

a V6 wouldnt fit properly into the engine bay without major work

Hmm well I mean the major reasons would be to get the 222 HP and better gas milage than the Talson Tsi.

You take one or the other.

Gas milage or HP.

Which one do you care more about?

Haha I dunno my parents are pretty tight with money and how they spend it and they'd be payin for gas prolly, but than again I like HP and the girls I no do to :).

get the TSI... with cheap mods you will be faster than the 3000GT and you will also save a lot of money, for less than $2000 you can easily be into the 12s! :thumbsup:

that crap v6 will only get good gas milage if you shift at the perfect gas mileage point everytime[it most likely only gets those MPGs listed from low end torque and being able to sit low in the rpm band, lower than the talon....dont forget that gearing also plays a big role in gas mileage, better check that out too]........as soon as you push, that engine, your gas mileage will = nothing. Not to mention the talon can get EASILY over 222hp without much work at all, and only a few hundred in mods.

Gains from mods are always greater with factory turbo charged engines over N/A'd engines, not to mention the internals on the 4g63 are far greater.
