  • Ohkay i Have An Gs Also 1998 420a engine i want To Add An Turbo Can You Tell Me What I Need And How Much it Cost For The Kit Abd InstallMent Thanks

  • @00249100 i got a cheap solution.........scrap the 420a and get a 4g63...

  • no air bag.. thatts badd

  • @Redantz864 air bags are for pussies...haha 

  • @chainsawmanny yea it aint funny when u get injure or dead..lol

  • I always wondered what the after market gauges put on cars are for? Can someone help me out? Are they for air to fuel ratio? Or the turbo?

  • @ThEmSkillzZ1234 You can get aftermarket gauges for anything. Like voltage, wideband, turbo...it's just whatever you'd want.

  • hell yeah 420a are still very good engines. 4g63's are definitely better, but a turbo 420a will rape a Honda any day

  • decent setup man... im doin a custom 420 a...port and polish...hks cams with a potential balanced rolling assembly... planning on running 11 pounds... hopefully itll handle it

  • i give lots of credit to people that turbo 420a. a lot of work goes into it.

    us DSMers who have a 4g63t do really need to worry about much unless we do a full rebuild, we just go a slap new turbos and other shit on there. they on the other hand have to do way more.

    good job man, to bad you sold it but i like that u got another dsm.

    DSM for life!!!!!!!!!

  • Love the car bro definley the inside!!

  • shit clean jus drop the rice n make the car as light as you can n gutt some shit n get a really good tuner n ecu !!!!!

  • @PurPleStuff0420 This car be long gone mayne.....I sold it years ago....I be havin a gsx now.

  • @Jeff99GS ok what do you think would it be cheaper to buy a gs/rs 2g eclipse for 2000 at the MOST (i have found them for as cheap as 800) and mod it turbo ect ect ect ect or pay 4-5,000 for a gst and mod it?

  • Looks like a shitty ebay turbo to me... >.>

  • spent enough money on the car you think he could have gotten a better camcorder

  • was that a fiberglass cover where the airbag used to be? did u mild it off of the original?

  • hey im thinking about turboing my 97 wid a 420a do i have to get low compression pistons or will it be alright if i ran it on just 8 psi?

  • get forged rods and pistons dude.

  • @ibanezkid07 NO need... the car was brand new at the time...I sold it with 60,000 miles on it. Only ran 9 psi.

  • @ibanezkid07 yea no shit otherwise its NOT BUILT, good luck making huge power

  • I agree. I have the 420a and I'm goin turbo, but my only reason is because I want a lil more horse and theres so much info out there about turboing its awesome.BTW how did you do the dash airbag screen mod?

  • wow! my dream.....

    tell me name of song please

  • the name of the song is clubbed to death

  • holla back, everyone who has a 4g63 thinks they are automatcly gods, both motors without turbos have exactly the same horsepower! if u trurbo the 420a right it easly can beat a 4g63, its all about how u drive

  • I would say once i mod my 420awith a turbo kit that will be my daily driver,if i had the gsx that will be my weekend driver,agree or disagree but thats howi kindalike to roll since i love the 2g eclipses

  • I agree thats how I roll!

  • Thanks! Where did u get urs?

  • Hey im thinkin about boostin my 420a, can u give my a rough estimate on how much u paid for yours, cuz i found one for 1600 after shippin and it comes with a ton of extras,

  • Thats about right with price..there some cheaper out there but they have universal piping and other crap that you really dont wanna mess..the kit for mine cost me about $1,400 and my buddy and I installed it our selves so it came out to about $2,600 total with the other upgrades...fuel injectors and tuning..good luck with yours

  • maybe it aint that bad but if it costs like 2600 to turbo but a 4g63 costs like 900 to 1300 its just easier and cheaper to use an engine thats already built to take it

  • whats a waste of money? I wasn't comparing anything...I Know a 4g63 is better than a 420a but I will still mod a 420a cause I mod everything I own. So Its NOT a waste of money...anyways...My old 420a has taken out quite a few 4g63's in its day....Trust me.

    However my AWD Talon TSi Will crush my 420a.

  • Im sry skippy but ur retarted I got a 97 gst and i know for a fact that the gsx is the same hp if not more than mine and it is 210 stock and the crankwalking happend in the 95-97 gst's and thats it so go do some more research before you come up in here dissin cause we all know that the 420's fucking sucked thats more or less a economy motor (grocery getter) and thats it put it up against my turbo 4G63 and its over

  • the 1st gen motor was best cyclone head has sqared ports vs the american head which had ovals the newer motors gen2 were weaker with smaller ports point being the 1st genn takes a massive woopin of boost the newer ones dont the 420a is just a hooptie engine and a waist of cash just go 4g63 6 bolt cuclone with american manifolds and like 20 psi

  • amen... dude.. its all about driving a sweet dsm.. i have a 420a on my 97 eclipse.. and I love it..

    but i respect my friends 4g63.... we have to accept.. both have potential.. but the gst and gsx are the performance ones...

    maybe ill get a GSX next year... but from now i love my 420a.. it is reliable daliy drive.

  • GSX's and GST crank walk to much, 420A's are perfect power plants, can handle up to 300 horsepower on stock internals and their 4 bolt mains, 420A's ftw idk why Dodge didnt turbo these motors from the getgo their alot better than the 165 TURBOED gsx gst motors and the 420A's have 140 horse power N/A u do the math

  • Nice car, just seems like too much work and $ when ya could have just bought a eclipse GSX w/factory turbo, awd, and can boost the stock motor to 16psi b4 you have to do anything to the engine....

  • Haha Thanks...I DO have an AWD DSM :) \I like all DSM whether they are 420a powered or 4g63 powered!

  • Agreed. I just bought my 3rd one, 1st AWD tho, i went from 95 RS to Talon TSi, and now i just got a 97 GSX for a steal, it has a lot of problems, new engine tho so i took on the challenge... Locked up rear diff, body damage, but i'd rather build it myself. Vids in a few months as long as no other problems come up,(which is impossible w/a DSM, its a love hate relationship) When they run right, they own, but its a lot of tinkering to keep em' runnin right...

  • @Jeff99GS only thing you have to worry about with the gsx is the transfer case for your awd it can blow if you pass 500 hp.

  • what type of turbo set you have ?

  • hey man nice car what kind of body kit is that and where did u get it

  • A turbo 420A motor? Oh, isn't that called and SRT-4 engine?!?!?

  • NO the 420a is NOT the same as the srt-4 engine. The SRT4 is a 2.4 liter with a different engine code.

    

    Similar engine type tho.

  • what kinda turbo is that?

  • what's the name of the song ?

  • The name of the song is CLUBBED TO DEATH by ROB DOUGAN

  • really mean car, what color blue is that?

  • what stuff u got in there? such as Cold air intake headers etc. and whats ur horsepower?

  • its turboed..... meaning it doesnt have a header or cold air intake......

  • Why the hell didn't you buy a 4G63 man. It would have been so much easier, and you wouldn't have a dodge neon motor in your car? Either way man, good job, nice build. Shows your passion. DSM4Life baby!

  • haha I have a Talon TSI AWD too bro...check out my other vids...this 420a is just more for street crusin on the weekends...the girlies love it!

  • Hahahahha, that's what I like to hear bro! Too funny!

    DSM4Life Baby!

  • i was wondering what is a 420a? like is it the type of motor? what is so special about it?

  • Neon motor... its been in everything from avenger/eclipse neon etc. Nothing special. Unless you love modding from the ground up (nice work OP) I'd start with the 4g63 in a GST/TSI

  • thanks...yeah I have a TSi AWD

  • Maybe someone will know. can 4g63 injectors bolt up to a 420a fuel rail without modifications??

  • when u had this car wat size injectors were in it???

  • 450cc injectors

  • do u have a safc on thur er anything like that?

  • On This 420a eclipse NO SAFC But I DO have SAFC 2 on my Talon TSi

  • how much you runnin?

  • like 8 psi...But i sold the car now and bought a Talon TSi AWD!

  • i like the thing you did were the airbag goes

    it cool!!!

  • Are those 18" rims?

  • this is an old video, yes they are 18"

    I have 19" now...I will make a newer video soon.

  • yo what type of body kits os that on your eclipse

  • sell?

  • Ok, I have to ask, what turbo setup you have going on under there? I like the looks of it, the piping doesn't come back up over the engine like most 420A turbos do. If you could shoot me a list of the piping, turbo, exhaust mani, and front mount that would be great.

  • whats the name of that song?

  • the song is Rob Dougan / Clubbed to Death

  • thanks dude I owe you one.

  • dude how did you do the dvd plaer in the old air bag area? thats awsome i wanna do it to my car..

  • nice video

  • do you have and fuel cut defender (FCD) or missing link? Chances are you MAP sensor is seeing boost and making the car hit FUEL CUT. also If you only have a 12:1 FMU 8-9 psi is the max that can deliver fuel for properly. U need a Mega Squirt Dude. I have a Full MegaSquirt KIT with an old IBM laptop for sale for $500 shipped. That MS will deliver the Proper Fuel to all Cylinders and give you a way to tune ur engine Via Laptop Comp!

  • really mean car, what color blue is that?

  • hondas are for gay cunts

  • quick question was your car a GS because I have one but pleople tell me that I need a turbo engine to have turbo in my GS

  • yo ur car looks sik i just got my eclipse im goin2 make shure my car looks kinda like yours szeen

  • Nice video nice work on the car hella nice job dude!!

  • By the way, whats the music?

  • The music is Rob Dougan ... Clubbed to Death

  • Thanks a lot!:P

  • whats that music??

  • Very nicely done 2g. I've got a couple questions for you. First off is that automatic? I'm turboing my automatic 2gnt and i'm kind of curious as to how long the transmission will last under boost. My 2nd question is where about in Ohio are you located, I noticed you have Ohio plates.

  • how much money did you put into the engine?

  • maybe like 3k...not too much

  • great engine, great car, just great video!

  • Kudos man, this vid gives hope to everyone that has the 420A engine...awesome video

  • yeah i just wish my 420a looked and worked like that one

  • waht all did you have to do to your motor to run the turbo kit? i have a 96 gs and a tdo4 turbokit with intercooler but havent installed it yet.

  • Your motor doesnt look all stock lol

  • is ur car all stock??cuz ive been wanting to turbo my 96 eclipse rs. another thing where did u hook up the oil feed line to?? thanks

  • what song is this?

  • Sooo it is ok to put a turbo on a GS?

  • Does your 420a hold up good with a turbo? I've been wanting a turbo on mine but ppl say my engine is not gonna withstand the turbo

  • under dog/under rated cars. eclipses, civics, compact cars. always use this song lol.

  • most over used song for the under dog videos! none the less the song is cool!.

  • lol i need a turbo in my 2001 eclipse spyder GT i cant afford to buy one yet and i also dont think my engine could handle one yet soo im ganna do the ECU Exhaust Intake drivetrain brakes shocks and tires first not to mention engine upgrades and who could go without nos?

  • hey buddy

    remember me? i commented on one of your other videos. well i decided im going to either hold off on the turbo on my gs or just not do it altogether cause my cousin told me it wont work all that well...and he's a mechanic haha

  • I just watched a vid of an eclipse just like this. with the exact same music and no sound of the car. WTF?

  • looks great my 420a-t bro

  • Lol...its no secret, you get a turbo manifold...a turbo...oil lines...a downpipe...a couple fuel mods...install...and DICE...just like any other car.

  • u gota tell me how u got the turbo in

    please contact me

  • you can order EVERYTHING you need for a 420A engine turbo at Hahn Racecraft...just google it for the site...you can order stage 1 turbo kit or a stage 2 turbo kit which brings you up to this cars power at 275HP 8 PSI and yeah the kits come with EVERYTHING you need so it would be the best way to go after stage 2 you will need to do internal mods such as changing pistons and rings and what not

  • man you dont need to upgrade ur internals with the hahn racecraft stage 1 or 2 turbo kit on the 420a. it does com with EVERYTHING you need to get u to at least 250 whp at a safe 8 psi on the 420a. jus go to turbokits . com and look at HRC for the kit. its around 3500 bucks and comes with everything u need to unleesh ur 420

  • yeah thats what I said...stage 1 and 2 don't need mods internal...I am getting a stage 2 kit eventually lol would be fun but for now I'm stuck with my 420A but who cares...i got a talon also which has the 4G63T in so its all good....would swap engines but to much work lol

  • god i hate this music, makes me so scared

  • yo dat is fukin sweet no lie, props fo not mekin dat shit look cheap wid shiney crap like most ppl

  • ya you guys need someone who can really film... all of these videos suck due to the footage being taken. your car is sweet yes but i couldn't see anything under that hood other than a turbo ... stop shaking the camera step back a little show more of what your car does.. not just driving behind the wheal... other than that man your car rocks!

  • nice car bro

  • 4gs are ugly

  • i tell you wat tho that passenger air bag monitor is awsome.

  • how much did it cost you for the turbo kit and install??? i have a 420a also and wanted to turbo it but didnt know how practical it would be... Also how big performance increase did you see?

  • PLEASEEEEE what name of the sound pleaseeee i live the song of the video send the name in my mail

  • yo dude i love the custom air bag tv compartment, you gave me some ideas where to hide my boost controller, and computers. :)

  • can u make a auto 2 manual

  • Yo Jeff, PM me on Tuners I might have you do the work to mine haha.

  • hey jeff99gs can u help me out men?? i got a red eclipse gs 1999 dohc 420a engine all stock i just changed the air intake for a cold air intake system but i wanna upgrad my car with a turbo t3/t4 .60 a/r and it only have the turbo manifold the wastegate and the oil feed line but i dont really know how to do it can u help me out?? do i need any other parts like intercooler and piping kit and th b.o.v. or how did u put ur turbo?? help me out men

  • Hey man, i got a couple questions for you. God knows you get lot like this but hey. I was wondering where you got the front end for that eclipse. I've got a 97 talon esi and i was kinda curious. That and maybe where you got the turbo kit too. 420a kits can be a pain to track down.

  • im not sure what kit he has, but by the looks of it i think he's got on the drift kit front bumper, which by it self is about the same price as those other cheap as kits, so if u don't got a lot of dough u might wanna consider another kit.

  • turbokits or hahnracecraft they run pretty expensive!

  • nice job on the 420a

    *Anybody know the name of this song?

  • the beginning is the matrix theme by Crystal method

  • I got a 97 eclipse gsx with a bigger turbo but i cant control my boost.I got a boost controller but i cant control it can someone explain how to connect it so i can see if it is right.The boost controller is manual.

  • so the wastegate line runs straight into the turbos housing?

  • hey im doing a similar setup and have it all figured out except what location do you connect the oil feed line from the turbo? where on the motor? and how do I run the vaccum lines to the wastegate and the blowoff? Thanks!

  • hahn racecraft imma buy their stage2kit when i got the money :D any idea what exhaust system i need? was checking outt that magnaflow one.. for about $800?

  • whoops i meant borla was the 800 one i think magnaflow is like 500-600

  • oh then it was 1993 or older = ) they call the body style foxbody. they are strong for such a small car. good job on beating him.

  • DSM 4 LIFE!

  • kick ass car man. i think you meant to say 4.6 mustang. they stopped the 5.0 in 1995. = ) just to be safe forged pistons and connecting rods wouldn't hurt. it would run you a couple grand but you could run the boost unbelievably high if you got the right fuel management system, clutch, etc. once i get enough money, thats what i am going to do. i would list my plans but it would take to long.

  • cool man thanks for the advice, and also how much boose are you running? if the motor can only take 8 psi.i have only seen turbos for this car that run like 12 psi and shit

  • ok i see that you got your self a turbo kit but what interanal work did you do if at all? i would really like to turbo my 420A but i want to know if i need to do interanal work PLZ LET ME KNOW

    thanks

  • It depends on how much boost your pushing, the stock engine can handle up to 8psi as long as its intercoled and you have a supporting fuel system.

  • whatever you do, make sure NOT to buy your turbo from ebay.. Im sure your smart enough to know that...but that 1k kit seems tempting..if your going to get a turbo worry about the bottom end work.. pm me if you want more details or go to one of the dsm forums

  • Alright! Thanks a lot for the advice man!!!

  • yeah?! Not that bad to turbocharge it then. Is that a hahn racecraft kit? just wondering. any advice whats the best one out there? the not-so-expensive ones though.

  • Nice Ride u got there! What kind of turbokit did u get and how much did u spend on the kit and the installation? I got a 99 GS also and still trying to decide if i should trade it to a GST or GSX or swap my 420A to 4g63 or just turbocharge it. I dont know man! I know it cost more but my mileage is still low and i dont wanna pay another car-note.

  • Dude that motorized opener for your passenger air bag is kick ass u gotta tell me how u rigged that because im gonna either put my nos activation stuff in there or my ac controls..lol thanks

  • looks nice man...I'm swap my engine for a 420a too man....how is it the engine? whats the stock HP about? like can you really notice a difference from a stock engine? check out my eclipse cardomain com/ride/2552719/1 just add the . between n and c cuz u can't post links on these how gay lol but yeah man check out my eclipse and I got a video of how it sounds on here too but yeah man I like the engine I want one too...prolly be next yr till I can afford one though

  • I think the only thing it needs is gull wings. I would say lambos but the is soooooooo played out now. Plus gull wings look good as hell on 2g's!!!! I know there on mine

  • hey man, just wondering...it was orginally stock GS no turbo..and u added one?? wtf wwouldn't that fuck up your engine cause it

    s not made to be boosted??

  • no2 and turbo u guys are bad ass

  • it´s that line "over the years" - what happened?

  • what song is this? nice car.

  • hey niiice ride luving it where did u find that chrome cap for the engine i been trying to look for it, it will help if u told me where they sale em at

  • nice turb

  • I've got those reverse glow gauges and the projectors. I wish I had a 6-bolt in my Gst.. but the 7-bolt does the damn thang. Very clean for a GS(turbo). Much props! Its all about the 2G.

  • props man, very clean car. I torn aprt one of those motors, not tough to build, are u running a stock block?

    How much was the turbo kit, curious bout installing one on my brothers 99? Whats she run in the quarter?

  • very sick car..good work

  • fucking beutiful

    ....planing to get one of the older 96-99 eclipses soon but not many for sale nowadays

  • Did the Eclipse ever come with a 420a? Or is that out of a mirage lancer or galant?

  • GS and RS models come with the 420a engine

  • How ist the power potential of the 420a compared to the 4G63T?

  • some 420a TURBO'ed can be nice(Like the one in this video) But people usually build from a 4G63T (6bolt) Go Shep!

  • Did it do okay with 8psi i'm guessing you are fully built since your gonna be boosting more with those 8injectors how much hp did you geet of 8psi?

  • Hey i have A 1997 eclipse GS fully built getting turbo this week i wanted to know what fuel system are you using? i'm planning on using stock injectors, 255 walbro fuel pump and 12:1fmu. let me know thanks

  • dude ur car looks friggin tight...i am not gonna lie. i have a 2007 Eclipse Spyder GT, 3.8L V6 260hp. i have a couple questions for you. 1) How many girls do u get with that car. 2) Did u change your whole interior? 3) How big are those rims?

  • nice ride.

  • how much car u put into that car well the engine. i got a eclipse gs also and a rsx and gonna buy an gsx but dunno if it would be easier to turbo my gs. also how much whp and torque. thanks

  • That setup looks sick bro...I love the intercooler!

  • is that protek?

  • i am also diggin the screen in the airbag, but you should have a video without a song, i would rather here the motor and turbo spool...lol

  • Hey bro, nice ride. I also have a 2g NT eclipse that I hope to turbo. I love the setup.

    Oh and for Streetroyalty1:

    No, the 4G63T swap costs a lot of money to make it even fit into the engine bay of a NT. Google it and you will find out. He did the right thing by turboing his 420a, costs a lot less and makes a great deal of power!

  • i wanna see that shit run!!

  • That screen in the airbag is nice!!!!

  • That car looks sweet! But wouldn't it B cheaper (and faster maby) to just do a 4G63T swap?

    Like the vid.

  • No man a 4G63T swap is way too much money and a lot of work. You have to replace everything. Not worth it. If you want that motor sell your N/T and buy a 4G63T. The 420A motors with the right set up can make a lot of power but it will never make what the 4G63T motor will do.

  • Plus it will cost you a lot to fix up a 420A right but can be done. I have a 97 Avenger with a 420A in it and plan on doing some motor work to it in the future. If you turbo a 420A you can run up to 8psi MAX. That will give you around 275hp with all stock internals and exhaust. If you want to run more boost you have to completely redo your motor.
