V6 2nd Gen Eclipse? mmmmkay....

[gthompson97]

it looks real. that would be hard as hell to photoshop that and make it look that good.

[Shpyder]

no idea guys. i got that pic from cardomain. some guy had swapped a V6 into an RS.

[Legionofone]

yup that be the cirrus engine its a 2.5 L V6 it puts out 168HP and 170 Fl. LBs of torque... lets just say turbo charge that and u got a beast! only bad thing is its high compression so hard to run alot of boost and nitro

[Legionofone]

the next question is how hard is it to do and do u get enough HP for the cost

[JoeWagon]

hard, no. the person is a liar end of story.

[Legionofone]

what person? its clear that u can put a 2.5L V6 into a eclipse... theres a pic and its not photo shoped... so the question is... how hard... joe are u just saying its impossible? or are u saying that the girl is just lying?

I've seen someone drop an Avenger motor into an Eclipse.. seems kinda stupid for only 168 hp.

[Urban_Squrill]

But I gess you have bragging rights, and that thing would spool prity good too.

I dont think she is lying... I have personally seen this eclipse and rode in it. The V-6 makes a big difference from a stock 420a thats for sure! He said he got the motor/tranny and ECU/harness for free so he swapped it in there. I could see someone doing it if their motor is shot but not taking a running 420a out and doing the swap. He said he had plans to put a super charger on it and make some good times and I sure as hell believe him, expecially after seeing all the parts he hasnt put on the car yet.

Thats just like someone putting a 1.8L DOHC VTEC motor into a civic that use to have a 1.5L SOHC motor.

Not a lot of power but yet they had to work at it to get the motor to run good.

It's a teenage girl that says she has a stage 3 supercharged v6 2nd gen. 99% of people that talk like this are full of shit. If her dad was adept enough to give his girl a fast car, he would be smart enough to have bought a turbo in the first place. That's my opinion. I already said its extremely hard and pointless.

sometimes i guess people just want to be different. it IS an interesting thing to look at, a 2G with a V6. just like Dre's chopped eclipse.

[2of9]

whoa...that's a crazy picture. Never thought about that, but up here, i've seen a VR4 motor swapped into a 2g Eclipse, ill try to get some pics up this summer when i see it tho. But the part where lots of people say "i gotta stage 4 (forced induction), they're lying, cuz they would've known what stage four or what ever number they bought. hahahahaha, its funny when people talk like that. "i gotta stage 6 turbo in my sohc vtec!!!" lmao.

the minute you hear "Stage # turbo kit!" from somebody, you KNOW:

1) They play too much Gran Turismo
2) Have no clue what a turbo does
3) Have a moped
4) Are under 18 years of age
