So im planning on buying a GS eclipse 1997 - 1999 iono what year yet. But once i get it i want to be able to turbo it yess i kno i can get turboed gst or gsx buh right now that not in the budget. This is jus for future reference, what would i have to do to my engine in order for it to handle a turbo and roughly how much is that going to cost me. Please help thanks

This is not what your going to want to hear......Don't waste your time....save for a GSX!!! By the time you've built up a motor to take some good boost you'd already have spent enuff for a GSX, BUT you still won't have any traction being wrong wheel drive!

GSX = AWD
GST = FWD

I'm not sure what your trying to say...

2G NT talons/eclipses are not concidered DSMs due to the fact that they have a 420a and not the 4G63T.

Thats alot for a GST.. You can pick Up a 99 GSX for that..... and 99 was the best year for them. GSTs go for cheap now.. that is if you import it your self. and dont end up paying a person thousands to import it for you..

If you really wanted to you could but a 2G Talon and swap the body parts over.

Yea, honestly, the extra $2K it will cost you to bring it over will be better than not having the car that you want.

LOL The 4G63 is an iconic motor, and treated right it's just as reliable as you'd expect it to me. DSM's have a bad name because kids buy them, up the boost and add half-assed go-fast parts and then can't afford to fix what they break or maintain the car.
