just to the right of the fill cap there is a piece of rubber tubing that i tapped into when i had water lines... now i dont need them! and the return line just tap into the line that goes back into the radiator return hose (right in front of the starter!)

yes do that but you need cams, springs + retainer, probably new roller rockers, valves, pistons, rods, all new bearings and gaskets for your motor, head studs, all that good shit! have fun...

yes i am using an oil cooler... but it is not necessary to use one if you dont plan to run a lot of boost!

yes and no.. do you have a dyno to tune your car on? if no get pocketlogger! if i were you i'd just get it anyways, worth it in the long run!

Hey I have been reading up on this post and I just wanted to know one thing about the stuff you need to boost an RS can I just instead of buying a S-AFC an just take a stock ECU from a GST and splice the wires to hook the harness. If not the I wanna know if there are certain settings you need to set for the S-AFC so I can match up with the demands of the turbo

Sorry this might be dumb, im not planning on Turboing my eclipse until the near future but i read all 10 pages and nobody mentioned this. But ive seen this and i was wondering does it help when you have the pipe that comes out of the intake manafold splits and 1 connects to the intercooler to pick up the turbo boost while the other connects to an intake air filter. I saw that on some cars and i was flipping through a magazine and saw that. I was wondering does that do anything and if you were to do that would you attach the BOV before the split or after?
Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

[EclipseRST]

no you didnt see that... what you saw was the filter then the pipe went to the turbo, then the intercooler pipe went off the turbo into the intercooler then to the intake manifold! the piping that goes from the turbo to the intake manifold has to be air tight... cause it holds pressure!


so no you can not split them cause you will not build pressure!

there is a line that runs along the front of the block that i tapped into and all i did for the return is tap into the main pipe... i used steel braided lines

[rseclipse]

is there any way to boost a 1996 rs eclipe up to over 350hp

[JoeWagon]

EclipseRST's RST has about that much power. I don't know if he will say it's money well spent though, when a stock turbo motor can do 400-500whp. You'll be upgrading practically everything. Are you ready for that?

[EclipseRST]

exactly... well put joe! comparing my GST to my RST, the GST is so much easier to work on, find parts for, and make faster! if your really attached to your car then go for it, and one of the reasons i did it, just to be different from everyone else, besides the car is sentamental to me! if you got the wallet to support the costs, go for it, if not then i would say save your money and buy a GST/GSX!

I cant wait to get this on road, who said that GS sucks my friends have GS-T and they said there is no way that GS can be faster than GST. I need to put this thing on dyno and see the hp. Once youfeel boost ther is no way back. (just for info i had 20g on my car before i fried berings and blowed up my engine 6 months ago,that is the reason i rebilded whole thing)
Keep it safe celo
