wut kinda turbo is that? hard for me to tell from the pic. the black should look pretty cool. interesting design on the manifold. any reason you placed the turbine flange where you did? Whats the plan of attack for the electronics? keep us posted!

it's a T3/T4 Hybrid, 3" inlet, the reason why the flange is like that is beacause that's the way it's gonna fit in the engine bay. as far as electronics go i'm going with a Wolf stand alone system, it's the only ECU that's works perfectly on the Ralliart.

how much do the gen2 eclipse engine internals match? i though the gen2's used the chrystler 420a motor? that stuff works in a mitsu engine? maybe that was the gen1...i forget. anyway, does the compression ratio stay the same /w gen2 eclipse pistons and rods, or will the parts 'fit' but have different copression ratios due to the stroke? thx man! keep up the nice work!
yeah i am in the midst of turboing my car and i would love to know more ingo on these 2nd gen eclipse internals and how they fit on the RA because that might be very usefull, thanks

the 2end gen fit to a T, i met with Mario from T.O. on the week-end and he has a 2004 turbo RA and he has 2end gen eclipse internals in his engine, running 368hp at the wheels, he said the kit cost aprox $500.00 u.s.,so it all depends on how deep you wallet is....so far i have invested close to $500.00 into my project and possibly another $2000.00 to complet it give or take a few dollars,but i do all the work myself so i save big time on labour

You guys don't read what i wrote?? anyhow the kit you will need is a piston ugrade kit for a second gen eclipse engine, so do some serching like i'm doing and that will give you what you need.
