question on my engine

[Comweasel]

ok i have a 2002 dodge stratus R/T from what i here its the same engine that in the eclipse. Now i am wandering since i have the 3.0 V6 would the turbo kit on the eclipse spider GT work on my car????

If it's the smae engine probably. i don't though that's just a guess. Any way does it matter. It's a stratus!!!

[mitsu_eclipse95gst]

yea get a new car

It would if there currently was a V6 turbo kit. Unfortunately the only manufacturer of a V6 kit went out of business last month.

Your only option for FI (non-nitrous) is the RippMods SDS (Supercharger Drive System). It is a top of the line system with all aspects covered.

ripp-off if more like it. i wouldn't touch that shady company, just head on over to club3g.com and ask people about them. besides...a stage one kit is som $4,000...screw that. oh yeah, forgot what i was originally posting...

2g eclipse (rs,gs,gs-t and gsx) do not use the same engine or transaxle as the 3g gt. a 3g rs/gs is a different story, however, but i am a gt owner so i know nothing about that.

no. there have been multiple cases of ripp reps installing the wrong pulleys on the s/c driver (which causes the system to boost more than that stage's engine is built to handle) resulting in cracked and/or very badly detonated pistons, chunks of engine blocks actualy ripped off of the block itself, rods torn in half, etc etc...same as trying to run 25 psi on an engine only built to hande 12 psi max. and after all this, ripp has been known, on several occasions, to not reply to the customers after several attempts to contact them after these incidents occur.

i dont believe any mod like FI that was purposly built for the GT will work on the stratus since there are major differences on the cam's, ecu, and other internals. they just share the same block.

actually i was referring to johnnybgood's post about the only turbo vendor going out of business. i assumed he was talking about AAI and FIAS. i was wondering why they went out of business

[eclipsed4utoo]

man talk about bringing a old thread back to life. man this thread was posted in october of last year. jfowler85 just brought it back to life. the reason johnnybgood said that RIPP was the only FI, was b/c a year ago, they were the only one after X-tech went out of business. and that was before RIPP started having all of their problems

[crazy_ugly_coyote]

bring what back to life? i didnt own my eclipse a year ago, so obviously i would not have known about that. if you are really that scared of a past thread coming back from that long ago, you should conisder getting a second job instead of spending so much time on the pc. also, you could have easily responded to me, kindly stating that this has already been discussed before (in case you didnt notice the AF NEWBIE title below my name), i was only answering a ? that was posted. thanks for being a jackass.

No problem there bud. Just wondering why you didnt just pm the guy who started this thread. I wasnt gonna bash you for being a newbie because not all newbies are morons. Now that just wouldnt be fair now would it?
