I don't believe that you could even fit that in an eclipse bay.

Shoulda got pics of that one. TMK , a V6 TT swap can't be done because the engine bay is much too small on the E/T/L cars....Unless they meant the GALANT VR4 motor , which is still a 4G63....
Some peeps just don't have a clue what's under their hoods.......

that is just a dum idea. first off why not just take the money you would spend on a swap and buy a turbo kit.this would make your car faster than the car would be with a v-6. secondly i doubt it would fit with out MAJOR moddifactions being done to the engine compartment. so its really just a waste of time and money.

i just seen the add and talk to the guy i never seen the car or a pic of the engine.. but he probably b.s. and didnt even know what he had.. for all we know it was probably a gs or sumthing..

i don't want to get flamed for this but when i first started reading about the eclipse i could of sworn that some "edition"(e.g. OZ edition)but not the oz of coarse, came with a 6 cyln. motor. but i have never seen any reference to it ever again. can someone shine some light on tgis for me.

Not really sure about THAT one. Never heard of a V6 , except in the 3G Eclipse , which is not really a DSM.

And some of us might be surprised to learn the Spyder came with a 2.0 Turbo engine , as well as the 2.4 .

[eclipsedreams]

the spyder gt was the 2.0 420 turbo, just like an srt4. The spyder gs was the 2.4 banger

Firstly, please don't bring back old threads. Last post added to this thread was on 07-05-2003. Almost everyone on this thread are long gone.

Secondly, no Sypder ever came with a 420. They just had variations of the 4g.

Locked for bring back old thread, for this topic being overplayed and for wrong info.
