lol.. he'll be the one hoooo-ing and hollaring at the end after he puts 3k in there.. against most cars :)

[F35-JSF]

Is it a 1g or a 2g?

[BrianGTS]

make sure you check for blown welds on the intake.

[eKLiPzE d00d]

If its a 2g be ready for crankwalk. If its a manual and you don't know how to drive (im not saying you dont), they get very touchy. Have fun though, and please don't rice it out, we have a bad enough name already.

i was expect for some1 to say this :nono:

[Kit99bar]

considering he owns a DSM himself, it's not trashtalking BS.

i didn't say he was trash talking. i just said that i was expecting some1 to say this

BTW...does he own a DSM or a 3g??

Nah, it's not a foregone conclusion that all 2g 4g63's C/W. I know of three personally that never did.

[CreepingJeff]

you should call it Project GST, yo.

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

any more info and pics about the car..

u know wat GST stands for right?

Got ****ty Traction.. =x

but very fun on a roll wen u got a phat turbo..

And I almost asked if it was a 1g or 2g again :chuckles:

[Chiznarles]

how much do those run now a days? Like how much does one cost in good condition, and how much would u spend to get it going pretty quick?

[larryd]

All depends what year you want, what kinda mileage you want, and how fast you want to go :)

"Your" or "You're"?

[marc]

please don't ruin it like so many people who get their hands on one of these babies does.

keep the word "taste" in your mind at ALL TIMES.

Start with 3" downpipe-cat-exhaust and an intake.

You can get easy gains with these cars, but if you want real gains you're going to have to replace the turbo. BEfore you do ANY mods, get a real boost gauge... if you decide to go with a turb-back exhaust, watch for boost creep and spiking.

Anyway, you can get a Big T28 killer (I think that's what it's called) that will bolt right up to the 2gs setup; or if you want something with the TD05 housing (14b, 16g, etc) you're going to need some extra piping

you don't have to preach to me about power - I had a 12 second GSX.

Obviosuly get the boost gauge, then do the plumbing - downpipe, cat, exhaust - for many this is more than enough power.

If you're going to go turbo, don't **** around with the Mitsubishi turbos - go for a T3/T4 flanged equal-length exhaust manifold and strap on a GT3540R turbo. You will not regret it. Actually you might cuz you're fwd - forget it, go with a 16g and cams.

I almost bought a white GS-T spyder .. It looked like a really nice car but I didn't have enough money to buy it.

The 2g spyders are pimp.

dont listen to this.. theres nothing wrong with mitsu turbos.. or mitsu garrett hybrids.. they are proven turbos.. theres also nothing wrong with the stock 2g manifold if ur goals are 350-400whp.. base your seutp on how much your willing to spend and what your goals are.. seek advice from others and other reputable dsm forums.. ask experienced members who started out stock.. and not peopel who got their cars with a bunch of mods already..

As far as I know the only way to fix it is to swap for a 1g motor. I believe its something to do with oil distribution. I read it a long time ago though.

Nothing wrong with Mitsu turbos other than umm, hmm lessee - ANCIENT ****IN TECHNOLOGY - a smaller Garrett GT series will make far more power, and a similar sized Garrett GTxxR series turbo flows TWICE AS MUCH air as a comparable Mitsubishi turbo - I can provide compressor maps if need be.

As for cars pre-modded, Celica and RX-8 were bone stock when I got 'em - GSX and RX-7 were too good to pass up, and I sold both of them for more than I paid (in the 7s case, WAAAAY more than I paid).

[2000GTSblack]

^yep, the only reason some stick with the mitsu turbos is because they are cheap. Hell, a Garret GT28RS will outpower AND spool faster than the stock mitsu turbos.

BTW, aren't 2g's already flanged for the Garrets?

No, the T25 is actually a Mitsubishi turbocharger - you need a new manifold to go into Garrett's

Get an equal length manifold - not only are they works of art, but you'll spool SO much faster - they're worth the $800 or so you'll spend on it.

How come these 2nd gen eclipses are so easy to make power out of them but our celica is like trying to build a frankenstein.

Turbo. They are designed very restrictively. The muffled flow of the turbo, when opened up, gains incredible power, that technically, was already there.

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

for someone who only wants to make around 300~WHP.. a big16g.. hell even a 16g would be adaquete.. marc u know that.. and every dsm owner knows that..

yes its as u call it ancient technology.. but its been proven for years.. and to some people thats what matters.. something that has been tried and tested..

for someone who is only lookign to sepdn around $400-500.. a big16g setup would be the best bet.. perhaps even cheaper used.. the stock 2g manifold has seen 400HP..

perhaps u havnt stayed in the dsm community long enough, but a key philsophy of DSM owners is affordability. most will stick with the 2G manifold knowing its good enough for 400+HP..

what i do say is a waste of money is the Mitsu 20G.. those still retail close to $1k new and it is needed with an external gate.. so add another $2-300

going back to affordability.. that what DSMs are all about.. we're the domestic of imports.. DSMs share 3 main factors that make domestics domestics.. reliablity (lack there of), affordability, and pretty darn cheap/easy to make fast..

with that in mind if u want a low 12sec even dip into the high 11s territory.. theres no need to get all that expensive stuff..

now if u want a pretty good upgrade.. that isnt too expensive.. that has also been proven.. the garrett/mitsu hybrid 50 trims is where its at.. might also have heard of it as the FP Green model.. many owners have dynoed at 300-350WHP with moderate boost levels.. and those with built motors and boost 25+ PSI seeing over 400+WHP..

the cheapest one being the PTE SCM 50.. its a mitsu/garrett hybrid t3/t4.. and you have a choice of a/r.. .43 or .63 and also the hot side.. (i forgot which)..
this is the turbo i am currently running.. .63 a/r .. 76 hot side.. i get full boost at 20 psi around 3500.. and i am running stock 2g manifold.. internally gated.. no creep/spike.. i have yet to tune. but all i want is around 350AWHP.. around 24psi or so.. knowing it can do a lot more if i ever wanted to because the turbo still has a lot more to offer at higher boost..

again the best part of these turbos is that it bolts right up to ur stock mitsu manifold.. saving u 500-800 bucks on another manifold.. also its internally gated.. save you another 200 bucks.. i got my turbo for $900 with install kit.. its got even cheaper since then because of all the new turbo setups available for DSMs..

and why the DSM makes a gob of power.. the 4G63 has been around for a long time.. EVO ring a bell? we squeeze out a lot of power from these motors fairly easy.. (fuel, big turbo = more power lol)

yes the STi is faster stock.. but thats about it.. mod for mod.. dollar for dollar.. the 4G63 has come out on top.. :)

as for the subaru comment.. check the last 2 mitsu vs subaru track events.. esp. the first one.. as imports always argued.. bigger displacement dont always mean faster :)
