Any body has aTurbo charged 2006-8 mitsubishi eclipse?? if yes how much money was spend??

Answer 1

Turbo-ing a brand-new car is ALWAYS a bad idea. Not only does it void your warranty, but chances are that you'll be left with something that doesn't work right and still be making payments on it. Also, there's a very good chance that you'll make the engine rip itself apart. MIVEC requires high compression and a turbo/supercharger forces more air into each cylinder. Trying to do it on a high-compression engine will result in the rods putting nice, big holes in the side of the aluminum block.

If you really want a turbo eclipse, get a first-generation one. They're easier to work on, the engine is built like a tank and well-known too.

Answer 2

Agreed. High HP turbo motor + FWD = boring. Just ask every FWD DSM owner who has ever turned up the boost. You'll rarely find one who wouldn't trade their FWD out for an AWD without batting an eye if they could afford to.

Unless you intend to copy the RalliArt Eclipse concept and do a full 4G63T and AWD swap (which would be awesome), you're pretty much just throwing money away. That is, of course, unless your just aiming to build a dyno queen then, by all means, go for it. But the sad reality is that you'll still put down more power with a 4G63T than Mitsubishi's less-than-fantastic V6 offering. The aftermarket support just isn't nearly as strong for it and it hasn't yet been shown to have a lot of potential.

Find yourself a nice '99 GSX, drop in a Walbro and a 50-trim and call it a day.

Answer 3

I dont have an eclipse but you can expect to spend at least $4,000 on a complete turbo kit and another $800 for installation and dynotunning. check out turbo-kits.com to get an idea of what a complete kit should look like.If your going to run turbo you will want to look into lower compression pistons and stronger connecting rods...just remember the more boost you wanna run on the turbo the more you need to spend to keep the engine from blowin up...keep doin the research....the more you know about turbocharging a naturally aspirated engine the better. Have fun and the best of luck on the project.
