46g3 vs 420a

I got a eclipse rs, it come stock with the 420a, i was wondering if i could put a 4g in it, but take off the 4g's turbo manifold and put headers... i kinda got raped by my insurence company "...You cannot have a Turbocharged car, Supercharged car, or any of the following,
Supra, WRX STi, Evo8, GSX, GST, 5.0 V8, 3000gt, Integra Type R... or any muscle cars"
I think this is kinda bs but hey what can i do? and my parents are not switching insurence things so im screwed, but back to the subject, Is it possable to put a 4g w/o turbo in my RS?
Any help would be greatly apreciated!
Thanks, Cody

Re: 46g3 vs 420a

It is possible to put a 4g63 in your car but the money that it will involve will probably buy two turbo models. If your set on a fast car but your insurance company's being dicks, just turbo your 420a. It won't be as fast as a 4g63 but it'll still be fast. www.hahnracecraft.com

hmm yeah thats true, i think ima either turbo my 420a or do all motor, hmmm its a tuff choice, and btw my insurence company is one of those kinds that take your car to a shop and have the car checked to see if theres a turbo, so i dont think that will work, altho i really do like the "Phiiiiiiiissssssssssht" sound, the gsx is over rated i think, it weighs nearly 1000lbs more than a RS and its only got 210hp sure it can accerlate really fast but if u matched a RS with 210hp all motor, the RS would beat it right? hmm ill have to look into it, my friends are all honda people and like "sell the mitsu, get a honda, mitsu's suck" lol yeah well my mitsu will beat your honda lol, but anyway this dude said i could push 300hp if i did all motor, is he just bs'n me? or is he tellin the truth? if so how much would i be lookin to spent to get it there, thanks for the help

Re: 46g3 vs 420a

Push 300hp all-motor, not hardly. Most I've ever heard was like 190hp. Too bad about your insurance company.
As far as a turboed 420a taking a stock turbo 4g63, yes that is possible but turbo 4g63's have much, much more potential in the long run.
But a turboed 420a's nothing to scoff at.

haha, how much would it cost to get the RS to 210 HP??? put that money into a GSX, i think the GSX will still be running faster. and another thing. the GSX is a superior platform. i am not saying your RS cant be fast,anything can be fast with enough money, but a GSX can make more power, more reliably, cheaper, and easier, and put it to the ground more effectivly. That sucks about your insurance company, i would be looking for a new one. my insurence was a real bitch there for a while, $1600 for 6 months of coverage on my GSX, and i havn't ever even been pulled over(knock on wood). but i went and talked to my banker and he let me drop it to liability. he kicks ass.

I've seen a few stock gsx's around here run high 14's with good drivers, and others in the low 15's.

Or not spinning off the line, as the case may be...which is preferable .

190 hp in a NA eclipse is optimistic IMO...but Jake is much better equipped to answer that.
