For everyone interested in TURBOING AN RS/GS OR TALON ESI!!!

[celo]

what i did i took my crank shaft and get it balanced new berings all of them and arp bolts that hold crank shaft case that wil cost you around 400$ + thets for bottom part unles you wont to go with biger pistons new rods when it starts to ad up list dosent stop. But if you gona put turbo on it you need Pistons rods arp hed bolts and good head gasket and you are redy to go but if you dont have money and cant get all these parts its not worted to rebuilt engine every month just wait and get the parts on one side then be done in a week. Shop charged me 1200$for boring out 20 overbore, balancing crankshaft valve job O rings and to deck the head i know the guy so they made me a deal usualy it is more expensive,thats without rest of the parts.

[hellah fresh]

$1200? damn dude at the performence shop wanted to charge me 2500 to do all my head work. But I called up raceeng.com and they are selling a bottom block set w/o the cranks shaft for $1070. and that is for the Wesco pistions and the Crane rods with all the part. and thats going 40 over bore. Do you have to get new sleeves too?

[celo]

I dont know can you go 40 over it all depense on you engine shape but i think 40 is to much and you cant get new sleeves because its not like honda civic that you can change them. for helliviknow i wish i had alot of money. If I had ,it I would pay someone to put my engine back in lol. I work at grocery stor and I spend all my money on car and tickets. You can get car parts on ebay trough shops they can make you a deals. Regarding head 2500 $ they are smoking crack what are you geting titanium valve springs, 20 cut valve job ??? will this car be street or only strip?

[hellah fresh]

this car is going to be for street. =\ so if 40 over is too much u think 20 in fine? Im planning on running turbo with at least 25psi and under of boost. Thats y i was thinking about going 40 over. so what do you think? I at least want to run more the 10psi of boost lets just put it that way.

[EclipseRST]

.020 over is fine... thats all i have and it has been running for almost 2-1/2 years! .040 over isnt too much, there are people that bore .060 over! although it is a little excessive! anyways your $1200 dollar job isnt that great of a price... i had my block bored, honed, hot tanked, balanced and blue printed for $650. and the expensive part was blue printing it! so do you have any times on your car yet? who did all the work? how many psi were you running on the 20g before you blew the motor and how much do you plan to run now?

Ok so for the money .040 over is fine then right? Here is what Im going to do... I was thinking about building the motor over the winter so I can get it ready for next summer 2005'. Im not that rich so its going to take some time. =]

Bottom Block: .040 over w/ new crank shaft, Wesco Pistion, Crane rods, etc...

next
Head: port & polish completely build the head to the max

next
Intakemani fold: port & polish to the max

So theres my "to list" for the rest of the winter till summer 2005. Building my motor from the bottom up. My old motor was stock and had 160,000 mile on it and what happend was the Rod connection to the bottom block broke off the crankshaft... so Im guessing the block might still be good??? I have pictures if my blown motor but i dont know how to upload it to the gallery on here. Tell me how and ill post it up for yalls to see.

[hellah fresh]

o yeah me and my dad own a Auto Repair Shop. My 96 RS is all stock because I just got the Eclipse like 4 months ago. I dont want to throw a kit on and have a slow car haha. Where did you get your Pistons and rods at RST? So my dad has the hookups on machine shops. So im not worried about the boring out part its just the parts thats going to cost me. =\

Whats Up Guys;/
I Have A 96 Rs Eclipse And I Hear Some Knocking Sound When I Rev Even At About 3000rpm But When Idle, I Don;t Hear It. A Mechanic From Express Oil Change Told Me It Could Be A Rod Knocking But I Need Some Other More Info Or Suggestions On What Could Possible Cause A Knocking Sound In The Engine And What Can Be Done./

i have a 97 spyder and i just bought a garret t3....is this turbo ok to use on my car?.....i havent started installing it yet...im searching for all the parts before i get started on the project....any advice on turboing a 4g64 would help.

[celo]

Eclipse rst Before o blow up my engine i was pushing 10 psi but i was able to smoke mustangs 5.0 . I fried my crankshaft berings they melted. And for machine shop what i paid its good deal here in Califonia realy good porting and polishing valve job is around 500$ racing stage. Right now im waiting for my friend to bring his engine lift . I tok his eclipse pictures but i dont know how to put them here so you can see them , he have fast ecilipse GST if you want pic i will send them to you . I hope my car will be runing next week and i will take it to dyno. it bether be fast or i will burn it . Afther all this work it bether be , if not i will sell it for 5G and buy eclipse GST and build it .

[helliviknow]

well we cant really say wether its compatable with just knowing its a t3.. what are the specs on it? hmm i think a few parts for the spyder might be easier to get ahold of.. i know some of the stuff is similar to the gst anyone know if a 4g63 turbo manifold will bolt upto a 4g64? its basically gonna be the same deal as turboing a 420a... im pretty sure its gonna take the same basic steps and parts list as far as a turbo, manifold, boost controller, fuel delivery, oil or water lines or both, all the small details ect...

before you turbo your car you should take that single cam head off and put a dual cam head on, that will increase the power of your car a lot, then if you want to turbo it, go right ahead, anything from a 4g63 will bolt right up, so basically if you could find a 1st or 2nd gen motor, just take all the parts off that! the manifold, head, turbo... all that good stuff! just remember to keep the boost down seeing you have n/t pistons and the compression is a little higher!

[celo]

eclipse rst can you put valve springs from GST nad put them on GS ?? how much horse power do you have and what did you do to yours engine what trim is yours turbo and what are yours setings on S-AFC high and low so i can set up mine.
thanks
