new engine

[spyder fly]

what bigger engine will fit in the 2002 eclipse spyder?

[Sleepr awd]

none....you either have a 2.4 liter engine or 3.0 liter engine and you can boost both of them for cheaper than you would want to do an engine swap, so unless your doing custom work, it doesn't matter

[eclipsed4utoo]

why does everybody want to do engine swaps? you don't have a civic. there aren't many swaps that can be done.

is there something wrong with your current engine?

i have the v6. yeah i want to put a twin turbo on it but i dont know if i should have the engine rebuilt with performance parts first. or does it matter? where could i get engine parts and a twin turbo?

if you are planning to turbo the car then yes. but if you only plan to build the engine, then no. you won't gain very much HP from a full engine build.

you do know that you can turbo the 3G, correct?

also, do you have the 4cyl of V6 engine?

1st of all i dont think u can fit a twin in there(but if u could)
the engine work involved would depend on the amount of boost u gonna make

is there any certain reason that you want a twin turbo system? for the amount of money that you are going to spend on just a twin turbo setup, you could buy a single turbo setup and rebuild the entire engine.

you can get parts from www.rpw.com.au

i might have seen a twin turbo set-up in a pic., i think it was a thread in this forum somewhere. it was either a twin turbo set-up or a dual exaust set-up, i can't remember. i think eclipsed4utoo might know what im thinking about (i hope he does or im just wasting my time here)

[eclipsed4utoo]

i only know of one guy who has done the twin turbo setup. the problem is, there is no room in the engine bay. you will have to use two 13b turbos which are very small.

not that i am trying to steer you away from doing this. if you have the money, do it. but having twin turbos are not such a great thing anymore. ever wonder why the twin-turbo supras are converted to a single turbo setup?

bigger is not always better
