SC61, 3" exhaust, larger intercooler, big fuel and alky. dynoed 505whp. 17% measured gearbox loss = 590.85chp. > > stock srt bottom end. 599.9whp in a PT cruiser. > > rods and pistons and the 2.0L neon and the eclipse 420a equivalent easily cant take 600hp. tons of neon guys build fast turbo cars. > > to make more than 450whp in a dsm, id still be changing the rods/pistons and the turbo anyway so its really not more expensive to build up a 2gnt eclipse. especially if you do the stratus 2.4L motor swap with SRT internals. pistons and rods are around 200$. megasquirt is less than 200$ if you can solder and can completely control the motor, including the coilpacks. > > your cost estimates are flawed. > > ask neonglh how expensive it is to build a fast neon, cause its the same to do the 2gnt eclipse. by buddy with the turbo 2gnt has less than 1500$ in his. > > Brian THANK YOU!!! see i know what i got and how much i spent… for the most part i got top brands and in some places i cheeped out but it was for shit that wasnt a real big deal like intercooler piping --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/eclipse-turbo-installation/29604)._
