Which is better (MR2, RX-7, Eclipse)

Hello,
I've been researching these three cars and wondering which engine 3SGTE, 13B, or 4G63 has the most potential for the stock internals? I'm aiming at least getting 400hp to the crank. Thanks

I'm not sure about the MR-2 or the Eclipse, but 400 Hp on stock internals is very attainable on a 13B, a GOOD condition 13B, YOU need to make sure you apex seals a good. all it is as a matter of how much boost do you want to wait for on turbo lag.

MR-2's are awesome cars with the mid engine layout. The RX-7 is one of the all time greatest sportcars, but the eclipse primarily comes front wheel drive, which ruins the whole "sports" car isea, doesn't it?

I dunno why you're comparing an RX7 to the 2 other cars... they're in a different class

The RX-7 could easily destroy both of those cars, that's why it costs alot more lol

The RX7 is compared to cars like the VR-4, Supra TT, NSX. Not eclipses and MR2s. It runs mid 13s in the 1/4, while the cars you're comparing it to do around 15 i think

doesn't Dodge have the Talon RT, which is basically the same car with a 4wd system and if I can remember it, it may have the 2.5litre V6 Twin Turbo....


that maybe or even the 2litre four would be a honker, yeah basically if you want handling then the Rx7 is the dogs nads....

I have a friend w/an AWD 1st gen Talon...he has around 350 crank horsepower..so you could concievably get 400HP crank...not dyno though. What you gotta worry about it drivetrain parts more than anything...

3SGTE's are known for being strong so they are also good up to 400HP on stock internals...

13b...well it's rotary so save a couple thousand after you buy the car cuz you are gonna need an engine rebuild or two or three during your tenure w/the car...it's a given and a promise.


My vote: MR2 Turbo
