Turbo in 2005 GT

I'm new to this whole car thing so I just call and ask around and when 48 out of 50 professionals tells me a turbo for a V6 GT is junk I start to think so. Anyways, my eclipse has 328 HP, I only paid 4500 with everything. I will tear up a Evolution MR which does the 0-60 in 4.8 which is faster then the new GT Mustang. Turbos from what I heard are great for the smaller engines but not the 3.0 V6 GT

Headers 6G72 V6 SOHC - gave me around 45 HP
RIPP SDS-6G72 - Supercharger Drive System (RIPP) - around 100 hP

Anyways just had mine put in and when I drop the cluth in third I smoke the tires. If you want any info, their web site is great and they are known world wide for having the best superchargers for these type of cars, from what I've heard.

and why exactly would i have to travel to California if i wanted to get a turbo? please tell me why i have to go to california.

how about do something that a number of people WITH V6s have done and build your own turbo kit. just b/c there are no companies that make a kit doesnt mean a kit cant be made. there are numberous V6 owners who have built their own turbo kits and they have been going for 2 years strong.

the only way you could have gotten that kit and headers at that price is to get them used. the stage 1 kit is $3900 and the headers are $1200. so dont even try to say you got all that for $4500.

and i guess you have been talking to the wrong people cause a turbo is great for this engine.

also....you got a dyno sheet to back that 328hp claim up?

[marcuseclipse04]

Yes I will scan it and paste it to this forum, hey I'm not getting into a battle I just tried to get a turbo for the longest time and all I could find was like you said, is to build one, and the headers I got for free, they were back ordered, and still are, and since I was buying the hit and a few other things, and plus I had gotten skipped for shipment ten times and had to wait four months for the headers to come, I got a deal. And if you call them and buy more then just the kit, they give you % off of the other stuff. And no I was not talking to the wrong people, I guess Nascar INC in Texas are the wrong people...Anyways, I'm new to this and was trying to give someone some help, since I got one on my car. And it's been great, no lag like turbos, no wheel skipping, and I kept my warrenty. What is so funny if turbos are so good why doesn't mitsubishi let you keep your powertrain warrenty?? HUMMM, since the supercharger didn't replace my head, the factory said it was fine... My buddy has the stage three, and has put about 40K miles on it and it still dyno test out over 400whp. But I guess his dyno test is wrong also.

Give the MR 4500 to upgrade also. b/c now its upgraded eclipse vs. stock Evo MR. Give the MR 4500, it'll dust you majorly. Also, i bet you cant hang with an evo around turns. haha.

[marcuseclipse04]

Oh you are right about one thing, the evo MR will kill me around turns, come on AWD, you can't beat it, however one of my buddies has the Evo MR 2005 and we are recording the race in two weeks and putting it on a web site. I've beat it in the quarter mile but just, my buddy has the stage 3 supercharger on his Eclipse and he beats in by two car lengths, his car will beat a 2005 450 HP Saleen Mustang, we just can't find anyone that will let us race one. Guess they don't want to lose and have us post it on a web site. We don't race for money, i'm a wealthy guy and do this just for play.

[Tyrone Biggums]

if your truly wealthy like you claim, you wouldnt be wasting your time on an eclipse. you sir, are a dumbass. the same dumbass that i believed claimed to be an employee of a mits dealer and had a super cool chip that gave your car uber horsepower. c'mon man! either pass the grass, or get back down to reality.

[marcuseclipse04]

Well give me your email and I'll email you the dyno test of a stupid chip, I didn't claim it did a lot just said it gave more hp then I thought, think around 15-25hp, however I will email you the dyno sheet. And dude, your the dumb ass, you are one of those guys who talks and talks, and talks and never drive anything more then what my motor is worth in my dumbass eclipse, and if you read a head I do this for fun, I drive a Lexus dumb ass, have a Evolution MR, and a 2005 GT Mustang, I do this because I think it is fun to make these small cars fasters then the big muscle cars and still is cheaper to own. Maybe you should stop putting your insight until you get a ride....

[marcuseclipse04]

Oh let me say that I'm sorry, you probably got a ride a turbo 1992 eclipse hahahaahahah what ever dude ohhoh it is so fast, and you beat everything because it's yours.

[eclipsed4utoo]

do you think youre impressing us by telling us what cars you drive?? you just made yourself look like a complete ass. i hope thats what you were trying to do cause you did a good job of it.

oh yeah....and i still dont see a dyno

you also didnt answer my question as to why i would have to go to california if i went with a turbo

so since when would a turbo replace the head? do you even know what you are talking about?

[eclipsed4utoo]

can we say advertising for RIPP?? you guys take a look at this guys other threads and tell me what you think... i will quote them in this thread b/c it will be easy for him to go back and edit what he has said in earlier posts. he said that hes had the RIPP kit ordered for 4 months. 4 months ago he knew nothing about turbos or superchargers.

My question is where can I buy a safe, reliable if taken care of turbo for my 2004 eclipse? I don't want a big one just one that the engine and car can handle easily.

then this was on December 31, 2004

This car beats the 911 turbo 6 out of 9 racing categories. This is car is for real. Will kill a 2005 cobra and 2005 Corvette. And anyone says other wise is full of crap and knows nothing about cars. This is a fast and furious car. Look it up, don't take my word for it. There is nothing that will beat it under $200,000.00. I raced a 2005 cobra and I felt bad, all that V8 and no muscle. Dont' let some of these guys get you hyped up about putting turbos etc.. on eclipse. I will give anyone with an eclipse $1000.00 that I will beat any eclipse with anything on it besides nitro...

and this was last week. hey man...i thought you blew your EVO MR motor last month. notice his last sentence!!

However, I'm getting a turbo or thinking about getting on put on my Eclipse and want to know if any of you think it will beat that car? If not will probably trade mine in next year for a Evolution. What do you guys think?? And what the hell, why is it so hard to get one of those turbos for this car? YOu would think, V6 = turbo = very fast car!! Starting to think that a turbo might kill the engine, and that's why no one is making them for it. I'm new to this car stuff, so don't laugh at my questions. Just asking for some insight that's all.

all you guys have to do is click on his member name, when the next page comes up, click find all posts by this user.

so what do you have to say for yourself mr. money?

[Thruster]

a Ford GT would cream it for 150k, which last time i checked was under 200k

hey man go lightly on that car because i've seen vids of 89-94 eclipses turbos pushing 400+hp on stock internals with bigger turbos and fmic. just about a 1200 dollar upgrade. and there was a guy down here who had and eclipse with n20 and turbo pushing 600hp with upgraded internals. It was a 1997 tho. but there is not much difference other than the body style and pre 94 came stock with 195hp turboed. but it was a light car also

Also its not the turbos that are good. thats the wrong way of looking at it. Its the mis-handling of the respect your engine can do. That is like for any car. if turbos are so "good" why don't they let you keep you warranty an all non-turboed, non factory, turbo cars? To me a super charger is a lazy mans turbo as well as the autostick is a lazy mans 5 speed.

for your age your a loser you cant come here expect people here to not know there shit. you should just sit back and learn. I do so i dont look like a dumb ass. you make stupid shit up on here people don't forget.
