V6 2nd Gen Eclipse? mmmmkay....

[fussman238]

Ok today at school im talking to this girl about her car, a 97 eclipse, I asked her if it was a turbo model and she said, and I quote "It used to be but we took out the motor and put a 6 cylindar motor and a stage 3 supercharger" I gigled inside but played dumb so i woulndt make her feel stupid. haha please tell me this is imposible so i dont feel crazy.

If I am not mistaken some of the eclipses came with a stock V6, so they may have picked that up and put it in. I am not sure if that is possible or what, but I am reasonably sure that some came stock like that (without the supercharger). but don't quote me on it.

3G's come stock with a v6 in some models. but no 2g ever came stock with a v6. i dont know if its possible or not but get some pics if you can. it sounds cool even thought the handling would change because of more weight in the front.

1g, 2g, not a chance, only 3Gs have V6. unless she pulled the 2g 4G63 and put in a 3G V6, then again, WTF would you do that. supercharging a 2G, not sure if it's possible, there's only so much room inside the engine compartment.

No first or second generation eclipse ever came with a 6 cylinder. However, 3g eclipses come with a V6 as an option. She's full of shit anyway.

>>EDIT!--we all post at the same time!!

This girl is obviously

A.) Bullshitting you because she thinks you're dumb
B.) Has no idea what is in her car
C.) Paid to have some goobers perform a miracle (a stupid one, at that) and replace a 4g63 with a supercharged v6.

My gut is telling me either A or B. Ask her to pop the hood

It's possible to swap a 6 cyl into a 2g eclipse.

Why would you want to? No damn idea.

[helliviknow]

i once had a girl tell me her 97 grand prix gtp was turbocharged... even when i opened the hood and pointed out the supercharger to her she maintained it was turbocharged..

My point is some girls don't know up form down when it comes to what makes a car "go". They prolly just make it up as they go. lol

[RiceRocket18]

very true...... most of them don't even know the difference btw 2g or 3g, spyder or not.

hey you guys should quit bashing the chicks. i know plenty of dumbass guys that dont know crap about cars and i know girls who do. jake or joe will look the thread before we get to see pics of the v6 2G

naw u can fit a 6 cylinder into a eclipse... infact mitsubishi made a 2.5L V6 in 1998 that is not to big and can be shimmied into the engine compartment... i dunno if i could squeeze a supercharger into my car but im sure the V6 would fit and u know... i bet its not stock... but there has been so many little rumors of V6 eclipses that maby mitsubishi built a fer in there for the 1999 models... since they were out of the DSM deal at that time and could do what they wanted... knowing what a supercharger is is sorta impressive for a chick... i mean the fact she knew what engine WAS in her car if impressive for most girls... im betting shes telling the truth... go back to her and ask to take some pics of her engine I WANNA SEE IT!!
