haha, yeah bikefry i couldnt agree with you more lol, btw my uncle just bought a new xterra, its a real nice ride, and in response to Viper966, dude i know ur not trying to be, and honestly i know your exact reason, i noticed this all maybe a week after i bought it lol, eh maybe wheels in the spring and lowering springs would be ok, im stuck with this car till college is over, and by then ill have: 1-enough money saved to buy a decent car to run/mod, and 2-an actual job that pays for the fun and 3- a bigger garage to actually store a car for winter, but untill then i guess ill stick it out with it, who knows, if i can find a nice project car relatively cheap then maybe ill play around with it, never know

why would you call him? your going to need @ least 1k more stuff to get it going correctly… and no offense but you dont seem to have the knowleged to troubleshoot/wrench a DIY “junkyard” turbokit and get it running on your daily driver…

just do simple things… intake headers/exhaust wheels and suspension… and drive the thing

oh i know, i was only gonna call him to see what was needed and how difficult it was, because ive heard alot about the 4g64 motors, like psphinx81 said they run good in the evo’s but idk bout the dsms. yeah those are the things i think ill stick to, its a DD now anyways, so anything like this would be down the road if at all, im more likely to just buy a new car anyways if i wanna do anything to it engine wise u know?

trust everyone with what they say lol. and a DSM isn’t a car you wanna start off with to mod. you can make tons of power but don’t plan on driving it much. i found this out at 16 years old. i wish i would have started with something easier.

Buy a fiddy shot with a cool V nozzle purge and a blue LED for the purge and be a badass mofo.

Or just buy a purge kit and run c02 out of it and save your engine the breakage.

but you want to spend $1k on part of a turbo kit right now? to put on and probly blow up your financed dd that you owe big money on? :nono:

**_do yourself a favor:_**  **take all the money you may have for this venture and put it into a high yield online bank. keep putting money into this account. Then when you have alot of money and a paid off eclipse that has some shred of resale value, you can thank me.**

That guy came into my shop and was looking to make all that work on his car. I told him it would take me a couple days to get a quote together for him because I was in the middle of a couple others and working on 2 other cars at the time. He said ok. Then called me the next day and left an annoyed message on my machine telling me I needed to call him. I was like…I thought I told you a couple days, I was busy.

Guess he decided to sell. Good thing.
