Oh my, good luck! Turbo car? AWD?

 

[mustangfan]

Non-turbo and front wheel drive.....

What made you want to trade then, was the 95 really rusty?

 

[mustangfan]

Not a fan of the fart can though. I will take pictures tomorrow of the motor bay so you can see the straight header and cold air induction. Someone before me sunk alot of money into this car.

Frame needed replaced on the stang front and rear. Unibody was shot completely. Floor board in the back were shot. Only thing holding the rearend in was the trunk as torque boxes were rusted out. Yeah the stang should have been in a junk yard. I miss the 5.0 though.

 

[mustangfan]

It had a antifreeze leak in the radiator. Onlything good about my old stang was motor/tranny/rearend and rims.

 

[1990_LX]

Yikes! Good luck with the new project though.

 

[mustangfan]

Yeah hoping to have it on the road by end of next month if not before. Like i said only thing i am having alot of trouble with is the stupid aftermarket headlights.

 

[mustangfan]

OH yeah for about 600-800 i can have this car putting down 330 hp! Not that i am going to do that though.

my first car was a 92 talon TSi awd, so I like these cars

however, I would completely take all that body kit shit off and start over.. invest your money into body work and looking right first, then mods.

once the body is decent, you can drive it and when the time comes, be able to sell it, because as is, it would be tough!

gl with it

 

[mustangfan]

I have some shops local i am going to ask about fixing the kit right.

Might as well just do that as even $20K wont ever make an Eclipse look better.
Good luck.

Yes, from 140hp to 330hp with $800, good call. I haven't had my 1996 Eclipse GS since 2000 and back then it was well over $4,000 for a good turbo kit to see 300 at the wheels.

It will take more than that, I turboed two of those cars with the 420A motor. One was fully built and the other stock. The built one ran mid 13's at 116 with 11-12lbs of boost but ate up axles and trannies like crazy.

Do yourself a favor and change the timing belt ASAP if it has not been changed. They are notorious for head gasket issues too.

 

[dsblk93gt]

I installed 2 of these kits on those cars.
