Not sure how to post pictures, But maybe it was the prototype eclipse rally art, Here are the specs on it 4g63 nice... smile

Special attention was paid to increasing horsepower and torque, adding all-wheel drive capability for improved power in a variety of driving conditions while minimizing weight. To boost horsepower to an estimated 400 hp, a turbocharged 4G63 engine was borrowed from the Lancer Evolution and supplemented with a custom air intake and other HKS performance parts(cams). The concept Eclipse's rally prowess is enhanced with the all-wheel drive system currently available on the Endeavor and Lancer Evolution as well as a six-speed manual transmission. Lightweight carbon fiber was used extensively in the roof, hood, fascias and front fenders.



The custom exterior is enhanced by Hot Red Mica paint, specially formulated by PPG for this concept. The Eclipse Ralliart rides on 20-inch high-performance carbon fiber wheels with AVS Sport Yokohama tires. Interior enhancements include Recaro performance seats trimmed with leather and Alcanterra suede, four-point restraints, racing gauges and a Rockford Fosgate premium sound system.

I really like those with the Front mount in there. Wonder if anyone has turboed the gt version?

I'm going to disagree with you Jay. I think there could have been a more "clean" way to install it. If the piping was hidden somehow, it might look better to me. Though I don't know how someone would go about doing that.

Nevermind the "grill", it seems to me that's way too much turbo for the IC on there.

Looks very well done otherwise! tu

I didn't think Mitsubishi would slap on a T3 Garret as a stocker.

Nope, not yet. Someone asked if he had some dyno results but the owner hasn't responded yet.

Wow, that's nice!

I can't believe you guys are complaining about the way the FMIC looks. Have you seen the heaps that show up to the average DSM meet? tongue

For a dsm thats probably the case, but unless thats a completely built motor, you have to remember he's probably running something like 5psi sleep

My friend was looking at turbo kits for his 06 eclipse he said they were around the 3000us mark. But I believe he was looking at a place in the new york that installs them. I never heard of a place selling a kits and online just seems to bring up kits for the 99 style eclipse.

My 2 cents. Someone on here will probably know more. My friend has now given up on his eclipse and is looking at buying a Vette. So I imagine stuff has changed in the last year.

Guess that Lisa would make me sleep in the garage for months. Mmm, starting to sound more and more interesting.

Manifold, Snail, Downpipe, Injectors, SAFC, Pump, AFPR and larger Injectors.

Next on the mod list would be a Clutch, Drop the thing as their is enough room in the wheel well to hide a small child and defenately an LSD.
