Well i've owned my 3g eclipse for a little while now and I've been inspired by all of the turbo threads to maybe look into following the same flow. I started looking around and getting some prices and i saw this go up on ebay and couldnt let it pass. It's a Big 16G turbo from an Evo 8 I purchased the turbo, manifold, and o2 housing all in perfect condition for $285.(Only 7,500 miles) I just wanted to see what you all thought. I'll post pics as soon as possible!

You my friend got a killer deal as long as the turbo has no shaft play. But trust me when i say this get ready for a long bumpy yet fun road.

i sure as hell hope you know your shit.

Going FI is easier said than done. Its easy to buy a bunch of turbos and manis, you need to know what your car can handle and what it cant. Do as much research as you can before you jump into this project.

but for real man you have a great start now the hard part reading up on everything on these forums about boosting. It will take time but put you ahead in the long run. I hope you stick with it, and have fun.

Ok guys, both of you are right, first lets not get off subject. Yes he got a good deal, and on the other hand please do learn the car you drive before you boost it, im not a I4 guy but it seems alot easier then the V6 when it comes to boost so if I can have a SDS then you can do the Turbo just do it right the first time around.

Your exactly right about doing it right the first time. I read up for months and thought i had turned over every stone, turns out i still missed a few things and what was supposed to be under a week, has now been 3, going on 4. If you do it right 1st and know your stuff you will relieve yourself of alot of headache. Pick up the book Maximum Boost its a great read. You can get it at Barnes and Noble it will teach you a whole whole lot about turbocharging.

Thanx for the encouragement!....I plan to do all my homework research and plan ahead. I'm going to take my time and do it right the first time round. I've read many threads on FI for the GS/RS and I've compiled a list from other builders and buying pieces bit by bit. My next item will probably be Emanage or Intercooler. My GS is a 2000 so ecuflash is out of the question...and i believe that emissions in NC prevent me from doing the 01 ecu swap?correct me if im wrong please. And ofcourse the ever so great "Search" feature will be my best friend. I appreciate any input.

Yeah emissions must suck, as for me living in the KY there is not a single one. Maybe you should just save up and go Standalone one day, there is one for sale in the forums for a I4 its a Haltech E6 if im correct. Well worth the money and will allow higher boost levels then you will ever imagine. It all depends on how you want the car.

 

[3g-izzle]

Wow you have this forum down. Search will def. be best your friend but with the ecu swap i dont see why you couldnt do it because of emissions. I'm in the process right now so i'll let you know how it goes. Are you an auto or manny?

There it is, best price you will find for that product, I know its alot but will help when you get serious into boost and timing ignition ect... Im going stage III at 19psi soon and will be looking into this setup for the V6

 

[3g-izzle]

Dang no doubt i'd offer him 11 or 12 hundred but either way you are getting a killer deal.

Heres my car's stats

Color:Black
Model: GS
Miles: 70,000
Tran.: M/T
Year: 2000

I will most deffently go with a Stand alone next year after summer funds come in, but for now imma go emanage.....or if I'm able to find out that the ECU swap is possible ill go that route. I need the wastegate piece so ill be looking for that next, i found one at a DSM store for 8.00 so that will probably be my best bet.

Also by the time you will need standalone you will need forged internals, better flowing heads, head gaskets, ect... The I4 is good for around 12-14 psi on stock internals and the V6 is only good for around 8psi stock.

, i found one at a DSM store for 8.00 so that will probably be my best bet.

Your not going to go far if you are looking for everything to be cheap and easy. Otherwise nice find and goodluck:ugh2:

 

[IAmTheSTIG]

good luck on the build up, but i'm going to warn you now boost is one hell of a drug and you will do everything you can to have it.

 

[ahspimp023]

Well put, and speaking of drugs my car is on Meth(onal) :fawk:
