How hard would it be to turbo the 6G72 SOHC V6 with MIVEC.... Just wondering...

It's like the 3000GT, only shitty... and half the cam shafts, and FWD :stick:

Kiel I'm not trying to sound like a dick here, but I thought you were planning/working on selling your car?

Don't forget there is not a whole lot of spare room in the engine bay. I am also sure the engine internals are far weaker than the TT engines.

Was and Is, but I've been told that a junk yard turbo car is not hard to do... And if someone drives a car thats both fast AND good looking, I might have a better chance of selling it... who knows... not to mention I'm going to win the lottery... :razz2:

Yunkyard turbo cars aren't worth a anything...probably hurt the value. Nobody is going to buy a year old car that has ghetto fabbed stuff on it, especially since it will automatically void the warranty.

yeah... I guess I just wanna have fun before I buy my grocery getter for good...

fuc man sell that thing guy a grocery geter and turbo the shit out of thet it would be gettoh but a bad as slepper

and now folks, its time for another good idea, bad idea.
Good idea, adding forced induction to a car
bad idea, adding forced induction to a car ghetto style, voiding warrenty, and having it be your daily driver.

good idea, thinking
bad idea, thinking out loud (case in point <---myself)
Its up to you, imo i'd look into having a 'kit' put together for you, just slapping random parts on, doesn't always work out the best.
I think your rods are plenty strong enough, not sure on the pistons, if you want I can do some r&d into your motor...
good luck.

I'm gonna study up while you guys make fun of me....

Be back later...

nice

no by all means I wasn't poking fun!
Go research, last time I looked into it, I think there was a supercharger and tt kit availble for the 3g's?!? Go research, when I get time, I will as well and we'll compare notes.

TT Hellyaa

The supercharger kit actually adds like 140 whp. The block will support 400+ HP, but you have to switch to 3s pistons to do that safely.

You must mean, only shitty-er :stick:

Don't know if 3G's are shitty-er, they don't have the stupid transfer case to explode. :stick:

RIPPMODS Makes a supercharger kit that adds 100 hp safely. Elite did one on a GTS, and it sucks ass. Although he did have auto, it still only dyno'd at 235whp

DDP Makes a 16 G with Sidemount and Front Mount. Side mount kits run 3-5psi and add 80-100 whp, and the FMIC adds around 140 whp and runs 5-8 psi. The fmic kit usually requires piston and injector work... And it's a lot of cash...

Maybe I'll stick to the ways of the ricer and go Nos on your asses...

or not.

your signature and this quote sure do go well together.

get rid of it and buy a slow family car. thats what i did, and now i have some money finally!

We did one of their first kits and it wasn't quite perfected back then. Now they come with bigger injectors and a working fuel controller. It made 253whp detonating. It probably would have made 275+ with the proper parts.

As one with a little experience selling cars. If you mod up your car to sell it, you'll lose money. If you mod it poorly, you'll never sell it.

If you want to sell your car, clean it up, make it fairly stock and research what others are selling for. Advertise it and lower the price accordingly if you don't get any interest after a few weeks. The biggest problem that I see with modded DSM's is that the owner thinks they're worth a whole load of money when they actually aren't. Unless a car has some really spectacular stuff on it, mods usually only hurt the value and narrow your target market.

If you want something fast, sell your car, even if you take a bit of a loss on it(which is very common when you buy new) and then get a turbo DSM.

Make sure you buy it from Steve ;)

Even better, although I've had a hard time sourcing DSM's lately. Thanks for the shameless plug. :banana:

I would have to agree with the others here. If you plan on selling the car, don't even think about doing this conversion. You will probably not get any more for the car.

The following statements are assuming you already have a V6.

If you are keeping the car, by all means, go for it. Slap a 3.o tt in there and you will have a hell of a beast.

One issue as someone else stated, is engine bay clearance. If you have approx 9" between the exhaust manifold gasket and firewall/radiator you will have room for a couple turbos.

The other issue is wheather or not your existing bell housing will bolt up to the 6g72. I don't have any experience with 3g eclipses, so i can't answer that one.

At that point it's just a matter of finding a 6g72tt with a ecu and harness, and finding someone with the know how to get it all done.

There are more than 25 3/S na to tt conversions on 3si alone. I'm sure there are many more that are not part of that board.
