01 eclipse GT

is a 3.0 V6 eclipse motor worth rebuilding or should i just get a different motor all together? i want to add turbos and lots of performance stuff to it.

hop on club3g.com and look into a 6g74 swap. it is a 3.5L diamante engine that fits in without much work.

thx i'll look into it. i've never really been fond of the 3.0 motors cuz i've heard by alot of people the have many problems.

Mine is stock but has 160,000 miles on it and have never had a lick of trouble.. It's currently torn apart for spark plugs and timing belt.

The crank and rods are decent, but pistons are HORRIBLE quality.

To be honest, if you want your car to be fast, you are better of selling it and get something else....

Off topic yes, but Wicky don't you live just down the street from me? I don't know much about 3rd gens but I'm usually up for wrenching. keeps my mind off things

Um i think if you find you self a 6g72 awd swap you would be set ! built proof engine and not to hard to find .... i have seen a couple done off some forums and they say it wasnt tht hard . just a thought

There isn't an AWD 6g72 swap

? sorry if im wrong but isnt the 3000gt vr4 a 6g72? im ok if im wrong but thts the engine in the vr4

yeah, it is, but it faces the other way. I wish it would work out, but you would have to essentially remake the entire engine bay to get it to fit into the 3rd gen eclipse. Not only that but you would have to find some way to swap the rear subframe to support a new fuel tank and rear axles with a differential inbetween them. Then a driveshaft slot...
It would cost less to just buy a vr4

yeah well ive seen some 6g72 swap in 3g and ive seen some evo8 swaps as well

the evo swaps are easy.
Im not trying to be mean, but I would love to see some of the 6g72 swaps.

i saw it on dsmtuners.com

As internet rules state "Pics or didn't happen" in this case link or didn't happen

I'm a big supporter of DSMtuners but lately it's been getting difficult to scour through all the duplicate threads. It would be more helpful for wicky if you could possibly locate and post the link to said thread

I did a quick search few speak of the actual 3rd Gen's engine bay. Most of the threads are speaking of swapping the 6g72TT AWD into 1g and 2g DSM's but past that not much else. But, then again, DSMtuners likes to stick more towards 4G63 powered DSM and Galant VR4's with a few 420a guys in there

yeah i was mistaken i saw the pic on dsmtuners and it said 3rd gen 6g72 but it was a 2g so i was mistaken and i apologize.. but tht would be a cool swap but yeah almost impossible and yet again im sorry but yeah there are a couple 6g72 swaps and there is a guy evo8 swaping his 01 galant which idk but that would be a sweet swap for the 3rd gen

ya ty that just proved you know nothing haha thanks for the laugh buddy. Oh btw next time you sit at a stop sign like that for a minute im gonna move you out of my way thanks learn how to drive.

says the kid who cant get his car to run .

Yet again you talk without knowing what your talking about. My car ran when i took it apart, so maybe you shouldn't talk.

you know what im not going to sit here and have a pointless argument with you if you want to run lets do it .... my car will still be stock . But enough of your crap you want to race lets but no more of your bullcrap because all you do is talk crap and im done so if you want to race you know how to get a hold of me .

ohk tough guy. i will only race you for money. just so you shut up when you lose. deal?

how about we just race ? im not gunna put any money i dont have on the line so just plain and simple race pure and simple ?

Let's all race!!! Pink slips anybody??!

100 bucks this summer. Or i wont waste my gas on you. That simple, you can run your mouth but wont back it up with your wallet or your car.

If that was aimed at me, I'm down!

haha, no no no. that was aimed for ty.

Lol, I was gonna say. But anyways, we kind of REALLY went off topic, sorry for jacking the thread!
