The engine will have to be completley rebuilt, wrong compression.

The tranny does suck, it is worse than you think. I went through 2 of them before selling my NA Stealth. The stock clutch sucks, it will have to be upgraded. You will need a LSD without a doubt, the stealth has got to be one of worst oversteer cars I have ever driven. I think understeer...anyways you know what I mean!

Your probably will have to pull the motor to do the swap correctly. If I remeber right you can fit in a TT/AWD ECU with a few changes and that will handle most of your A/F control.

 

The point of the post wasnt to get everyones opinions on what I should do to modify it. It was to show everyone my new ride and tell everyone my intention. When I was shopping for the car I didnt care whether it was turbo or not as long as the mileage was good and the price was right. I had both in this one so I bought it. I am thankful of everyone opinion, but I am doing lots and lots of research on this and I know very well what the car is capable of. The modifications I do will be done with reliability in mind. I have also done the 420A turbo kit and also a 4G64 turbo kit on my 2000 Eclipse RS. Joe's EVO8...sorry you had a bad experience but what you experienced isnt the norm. There are quite a few people who have already done this swap without incident. I am not just pulling this out of the air and saying "I wanna turbo u-hyuck". There is lots of homework being done. The clutch is anticipated, air/fuel will be controlled by a HKS AFR and I am running stock 360 injectors from a VR4. If you did know me a little better than you all would know that I am not a 17 year old kid just buying crap and slapping it on and crossing my fingers. As I said before, I will post dyno results and drive my car every day at 10 to 1 compression and Twin Turbo charged.

 

I actully know you quite well from the RA forums. You are respectable person with lots of good input and I am more than sure that you are capable of doing this. I just don't trust the platform anymore. I would prefer to go back to a 1G DSM over a TT/AWD stealth. Parts are more abundant and less expensive.

Even though a 1G TT Dodge Stealth is still my dream car. The amazing part about having the EVO over that car is it probably more affordable. I would break something on the TT and then be in for a nice car payment and an easy $5000 bill for all the crap I would want to rebuild it. That would put me over my payment every month. Right now at this time in my life I don't need a project.

Isn't the NA FWD tranny the same internals as a FWD Turbo DSM? That may help your search. Now get it together and show us some dyno and track #'s!!!!! Good Luck.

 

I appreciate that last post a lot man thank you. As far as internals to the tranny go, I am sure they are similar, but they have to be a little different as the gear ratios arent exact and the motor is bigger...but I am sure that for all intents and purposes they are the same. But that isnt a bad thing as the DSM manual tranny was fine in the FWD form. The AWD's I have heard of with problems were in the T case and in the auto. I have also heard a LOT of stories about 1gen and 2gen Eclipse AUTO trannies. And remember...EVERYONE...this kit is going to be held at just 9-10 psi. NO MORE. All factory settings, just with SAFC and little things included. I cant wait to do it and I will let EVERYONE know how things go when it is installed and running. The turbos are in the mail and they are going on as soon as they get here. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED!

 

kareem, you work for accolade now? What happen to your other SN? Mitsumichael, where the hell u been, leaving the RA community and hopping on the dodge? tisk, tisk, tisk...

 

Then why post? To get random thumbs up and congrats? All we can do is post opinions and give advice, well that or flame . It's what we do here, Maybe you will hear an idea you'd like .


Remember, a Wise man needs no advice, but a fool refuses to take it.



Yea 10-1 is fine if you run like 7 PSI or less, he'll be fine.


Question, why the HKS unit? Any benefit over the SAFCII? I like the SFACII as it monitors knock, has 12 adjustment points, latest electronic gauge displays. Did HKS make a new unit?
