wuz up guys, i just wanting to know what yall think about turboing 420a, IS IT WORTH IT?

 

what are your goals for the car? is it your only car? give details on what your looking for out of the car.

 

Yeah, we need to know what you want out of the car. Typically, you have to be really attached to your car and you have to be happy with between 200-250 fwhp for it to be reasonable. If you want 400 hp, or awd, or a budget buildup, or a lot of other things, you should probably go with a 4g63t car.

Also, please take at least one of those pics out of your sig, and resize the other one to take up less space vertically. The side profile with about 30 percent taken off the top and bottom would work well.

 

there. sharpened it up for you a bit too.


i think the going rate is if you want a turbocharged car - buy a turbo charged car.


you can buy a 1g turbo for around what you sell your n/a for.

 

Dude take it from me.... I have a turbo 420a.

If you want to turbo it, you must have the engine ready for the turbo. Rebuilt the engine with quality parts. Do not buy cheap shit. Also expect to max out at low horsepower. You are capable to reach 300-350 horse power because before my car got it's internal built i was at 215whp. So it's possible but you're very limited. I love being the under dawg though.

If you're wanting to race your car and win then I recommend you to save money for a 1st gen eclipse GSX. That's the best eclipse you'll get. Block is better and stronger except for the transmission but who care's you'll up grade that.

Don't thing about an engine swap because it will cost you the same if you just buy another eclipse. Dude be very patient that the best advice I can give you.

 

I agree with everyone else....find out what you are wanting to do power wise. then make your decision from that. I have a boosted 420A and it works well for me.

 

well i appreciate all the information yall have given and my fault about the pictures
