ummm...no.


get a GST/X. or rice the fuck out of the baseline one (but for some odd reason...i feel that has already been done)

only five poeple in the us have done the conversion to the gs. it is more work than what you could begin to ak for. this company called hon makes a turbo kit for your car. i have done the install. it isn't what i would do. i was very uninpressed with it. but when you build it and turn up the boost it fucking moves pretty good. i will pm you a link the there wed site. my advise would be to go honda. lol

Yeah, don't do the swap. It is a PITA from what I have heard.

i got into an argument with a guy who told me it was possible except swap out ECU after 20 minutes of explaining to a "4g63 expert" i gave up. i too drive a N/T and our cars aren;t Hondas so throw that motor swap idea out ya head. theres 2 turbo kits you can buy and a $4000 super charger and i feel neither is worth it. i say go all motor and keep your boost dreams for another car. www.2gnt.com and www.dsmtuners.com can help you out. and be prepared for everysingle person in the tuner world to tell you "you should have bought a Gsx/Gst" its get annoying after awhile

how is apexi N1 exhaust and a turbo spoiler rice?

i guess ill mod this eclipse as far as i can..... but i heard u can swap out the stock enigine for a stock GSX engine????i dunno but thats wut i was told.....and to the other guy i was wondering how is my car "riced out"? it dont like ricey to me.

yes it is physically possible but when looking at cost to power and the fact that if you can afford the 5k plus job(sketchy on that figure but its alot higher then your average swap) you really could have just bought a 1g or 2g gst. the two motors are completely different and everything that goes with them is completely different the trannies are on opposite sides. alot of custom work and it can be done but for the reasons ive stated and the overal difficulty it is considered not rational. but go for it i will commend you just be warned that many have tried and failed.
