Don't forget Wes. He'll be the first Spyder AWD.

I'll be the first V6 that is AWD too.

his car STILL isn't done?

i completely forgot about his build (sorry wes

), but i thought that project was finished a year ago?

good luck to you both though! pharm, it'd be nice to actually see you finish a project on your car, you do some great work.

PharmEcis · 06/15/2009, 10:27 AM

Well it's been one thing after another w/ his car. He has a new engine, not the engine Ripp put together for him and you also have to remember his car started life as an auto which means there was/is WAY more work to be done and way more parts necessary which = more money!

Wes just gave me some money so now his project is on a fast track for completion. It should be done in the next two months.

And no kidding to your last comment... I must be a sadomasochist!

thats good news! i'm very interested to see how it all turns out. i remember his auto-magic and all the bitching about having to rip it out when you built his turbo kit. feel free to post up some teaser-pics once you get closer to finishing his project!

yeah, you definitely are! i'm the saaame way though, just on a whole lot smaller budget. f'ing college life.

pm sent to continue this random tangent. sorry boston for hijacking your thread!

bostonhatcher · 06/17/2009, 06:30 PM

The car weighs 3130 lbs. without me in it and a half a tank of gas.

Also beat a STI with a Cobb tune and 18 psi, exhaust.

Raced an 05 Evo with HKS 272s, o2 housing, dp, catback, tune, on 20 psi. Beat it and he ran a 13.2. I think I'm going to the track this weekend.

I'll try to keep my camera on me to get these races. I'll certainly get track footage. I really believe it will run a high 12 but I've been disappointed in the past before...

qnz · 06/17/2009, 10:19 PM

where do you go to get it weighed?

hey, beautiful car man, hoping one day to awd turbo my car, but its definitely a dream

Osirisfool · 06/19/2009, 01:10 AM

I'm surely not trying to hijack this thread. But getting back to using the VR-4 galant subframe. We would need one from the models that were twin turbo 6 cylinders right? not the vr-4s that had the 4g63t in it.

i found these 2 pictures so far but im sure they are both the 4g63t vr-4 galants

http://www.galantvr4.org/images/Frame_Chart.gif

http://www.galantvr4.org/images/dpandcat.jpg

dont waste your time going thru all the others images I already did

bluebomber · 06/19/2009, 09:35 AM

What your thinking won't work, that Galant had the transverse motor and the transfer case is in a different place than the newer evo setup. Also the suspension is different too.

edd · 06/19/2009, 12:13 PM

Looks good bro!

I understand that the vr-4 galant with the 4g63t motor frame won't work.
I'm talking about the newer model vr-4 galants, not new like recent of course.

I think it was in this thread they were talking about the 6g72 frame being able to fit but you have to use longer mounting bolts. So how about this newer vr-4 galant that is the twin turbo.

1996 Mitsubishi Galant VR4

should have a similar to the 3g 6g72 sub frame mounts

. I'm still on the hunt for some real pics of the under side.

edit: hell has anyone thought of the 3000gt awd sub frame? i don't think I saw it mentioned

I'll save you the trouble of wasting your time. It doesnt completely fit. We have a member from GF/TGC/GT that has a 97 JDM Galant VR4 in the US. I have seen that subframe in person, the suspension in the front is different, the Tcase is similar in style to a 2g DSM, also the most common one you'll find is gonna be from the UK or Japan which it will be setup for RHD and the steering rack will be offset to the wrong side where it engages the column. The way Boston and Slava did it looks like the best solution. It sounds like your scared of fabrication, your not gonna get this done without fabricating something, your not gonna get something that just bolts in.

Well its not that I'm afraid of fabrication, its just that this modification that boston has done to his frame holds good and everything but to be honest it doesn't look safe. I mean little fabrication is nothing but thats mor ethen just a little custom fabbing. I understand that there won't be something that just bolts right in, but it would be nice to find something where you only have to cut away a tiny section just to maybe get it to sit right you know?

so how about a 300gt vr-4 subframe i found one picture here but its kinda small
http://www.3000gtvr4.com/media/subfr...eeringrack.jpg

bostonhatcher · 06/23/2009, 01:34 AM

My fabricator said that there is less deflection on the subframe with the way it is now than before we touched it. I went on a dsm cruise last week (80+ mph through country roads) for two hours and my subframe is holding fine. If you want you can send me your subframe and I'll have my guy do it.

I don't doubt that it is stronger, is each ill call them added pipes welded all the way down form left to right?

And I'm talking to another 3g owner right now about it, he got the chance to check out a vr4 3000gt sub frame and he said he didnt have the chance to measure it but by straight visually looking at it, it looks like it would be a perfect fit.

how much does your guy charge to fabricate it?

PharmEcis · 06/24/2009, 12:23 PM

There is no way in hell the 3kgt vr4 subframe will work. I have a fucking VR4 and if it would have worked, it would have already been done in my car.

there is only two ways your gonna get this done...

Either mod the factory one like Boston did and then reinforce it..

or have a good shop make you a tubular custom subframe. I already priced out the tubular option to be roughly $1500 including materials.

Osirisfool · 06/30/2009, 07:44 PM

Yea I'll end up having to get the info from boston about his fabricator if I decide to go with this project.

So off the top of my head the swap requires
Evo 8 tranny 1100-1200
modify subframe 400 + round trip shipping
modify the begining of the driveshaft tunnel for clearance
95-99 gsx automatic full rear suspension minus struts and the U mounts up top
95-99 gsx gas tank
custom driveshaft 850 for 1000hp compatible
custom exhaust

blah do we need an evo starter? <--Yes says bluebomber
ill edit in prices i find on some of this stuff

bluebomber · 06/30/2009, 11:15 PM

yes

And as far as I'm concerned quite useless since we already know almost everything about this swap is bolt on. Why go through the hassle of custom fabbing shit when you can bolt it on, and custom wouldnt really be any better.

PharmEcis · 07/07/2009, 10:39 AM

The 4B11T is proving to be a superior engine to the 4G63 so I wouldn't say it wouldn't be better. True MIVEC on both cams... mmmhmmmm.

Dude,

Just went through all 5 pages of this thread... Dying to do anything to my 2000GS but with very limited knowledge and even more limited funds I'll have to live vicariously through everyone on here.

I would love to put a Turbo in my car... What would everyone recommend as the best bang for the buck when it comes to this?

i recommend not trying at all. repforenzo wrote a great thread in the gt/gts fi forum. read it first because its pretty universal for this generation eclipse.

Thinking about FIing your 3g? Read this before asking questions.

Bozack · 07/11/2009, 10:49 AM

Thanks for the link... I knew I was a newb when it came to this but didn't realize how much until I started researching it a little more... Looks like I have some reading to do

Ithinkyou · 07/13/2009, 06:48 PM

I thought i clicked submit this morning

Anyway, did you upgrade to evo brembos since you have the evo axles?? Im assuming the thicker shafts are that way on both ends therefore not fitting into 3g rotors. right??

bluebomber · 07/13/2009, 11:05 PM

3g rotors will fit with that setup the same way the brembos fit on a 3g with stock axles

Osirisfool · 07/14/2009, 01:00 AM

the axles dont make the fit with the rotors its the hub/bearing that it fits snug with

steadly2004 · 07/14/2009, 10:29 AM

So, are the EVO axels the right length and all?

bostonhatcher · 07/14/2009, 06:21 PM

I wonder how I was able to figure out my entire car without asking any questions.

dude

... thats why youre number 2. Plus you stated your credentials of multiple high hp cars couple pages back. So yeah youve seen stuff in your experience that common knowledge for you that others have no clue of because they may never have been in that area of their cars as you have.

I can put one an 2 together pretty good off pics between the 3 of the documented awd's but some ?s begged to be asked mainly because nobody mentioned it as an issue, i figure for the exact reason your comment implies....you just figured it out.

But even still only 3 documented 3gs are running evo axles. I gotta buy em either way since i have an 03 tranny so i woulda got the answer anyway. But it helps to anticipate what puchases will need to occur eventually.

By just buying the parts and doing it?
But some people would like to know before hand to save trouble of having to return the parts. That does become a hassle after awhile.

bostonhatcher · 07/15/2009, 08:02 AM

Everything you need to know is in this thread. If I had custom axles made, it would have been documented, like the driveshaft. If you're not sure on which part then just look up a picture of it and compare it to the part in my pic. Most of the part selection is common sense though.

2000RS-Turbo · 07/15/2009, 12:54 PM

can we get another video? how much did everything cost? thanx

bostonhatcher · 07/15/2009, 06:44 PM

Really after everything is said and done not very much. I sold a lot of Evo parts I didn't use from the dropout I bought for $5500 and I still haven't bought a blown up Eclipse to put my stock motor in. I'll be doing another Eclipse with a blown tranny as well. It all comes down to how smart you play it off.

Here's something I'm working on now. It's not even close to being done so it isn't all the great but it's an idea...

Don't take this the wrong way but why are 2 awd cars roll racing? it kinda defeats the purpose of being awd lol you guys should try a dig next time.

Osirisfool · 07/31/2009, 02:18 AM

i don't remember reading it had the 2.3 stroker kit in it, goes to show you how much just that will do.

so the engine is like 95% stock lol go race that evo after you change it up a bit!

Ithinkyou · 08/02/2009, 01:44 AM

good job hatcher. Its excellent seeing he barely was pulling you. Are you still on schedule for the dsm shootout??

Anyway. I was thinking about your mentioning switching to the evo rack. How low did you come down on it to prompt the change in equipment. 2",3",or maybe 4"?? That also had me thinking. did you extend the steering column at some point also. I havent eyeballed it yet but my guess is yes.

toogood11 · 08/02/2009, 01:47 PM

i thought you got the motor from a scrapped evo online? how are you so sure it has been stroked to 2.3? have you had the head off?

*edit: i see post 37 says you now its been built with rods/pistons/etc. i was just curious if you new for sure what was done to it.

turn the crank, see how deep the piston goes top to bottom. 100mm = 4g64 crank = 2.3 on an evo motor.

So off the top of my head the swap requires Evo 8 tranny 1100-1200 modify subframe 400 + round trip shipping modify the begining of the driveshaft tunnel for clearance 95-99 gsx automatic full rear suspension minus struts and the U mounts up top 95-99 gsx gas tank custom driveshaft 850 for 1000hp compatible custom exhaust blah do we need an evo starter? <--Yes says bluebomber ill edit in prices i find on some of this stuff Last edited by Osirisfool; 07/01/2009 at 12:49 AM.

Dying to do anything to my 2000GS but with very limited knowledge and even more limited funds I'll have to live vicariously through everyone on here. I would love to put a Turbo in my car... What would everyone recommend as the best bang for the buck when it comes to this?

Ithinkyou Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Cali Vehicle: 02 GS Posts: 1,480	I thought i clicked submit this morning Anyway, did you upgrade to evo brembos since you have the evo axles?? Im assuming the thicker shafts are that way on both ends therefore not fitting into 3g rotors. right?? __________________ 2002 GS 5spd, Wrx modded 440s Greddy Type-S Megan Racing Evo 8 Manifold Evo 9 turbine Invidia SS O2 Dump Custom 3" DP Catco 3" HFC Greddy EVO2 modded 3" Injen LICP Zietronix ZT2 Prosport boost fuel press. oil press. oil temp.

If I had custom axles made, it would have been documented, like the driveshaft. If you're not sure on which part then just look up a picture of it and compare it to the part in my pic. Most of the part selection is common sense though.

bostonhatcher Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Vehicle: 2000 Eclipse GSX Posts: 416	Really after everything is said and done not very much. I sold a lot of Evo parts I didn't use from the dropout I bought for $5500 and I still haven't bought a blown up Eclipse to put my stock motor in. I'll be doing another Eclipse with a blown tranny as well. It all comes down to how smart you play it off. Here's something I'm working on now. It's not even close to being done so it isn't all the great but it's an idea... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBn0JNcVeNU Last edited by bostonhatcher; 07/15/2009 at 06:53 PM.

Are you still on schedule for the dsm shootout?? Anyway. I was thinking about your mentioning switching to the evo rack. How low did you come down on it to prompt the change in equipment. 2",3",or maybe 4"?? That also had me thinking. did you extend the steering column at some point also. I havent eyeballed it yet but my guess is yes. __________________ 2002 GS 5spd, Wrx modded 440s Greddy Type-S Megan Racing Evo 8 Manifold Evo 9 turbine Invidia SS O2 Dump Custom 3" DP Catco 3" HFC Greddy EVO2 modded 3" Injen LICP Zietronix ZT2 Prosport boost fuel press. oil press. oil temp.
