If your eclipse is a daily driver, perhaps you shouldnt go near it. It seems it wasnt "properly built" with good thrust bearing to main cap clearances to withstand the longitudial stresses of a turbo motor..Originally posted by eclipseqt
Internals are a major flaw in naturally aspired motors, I wouldn't even go near a turbo without a properly built motor.
My point being there are stock components of your factory turbo motor that increase its chances of catostrauphic failure, and despite common joe-dsm's belief the thing is not bulletproof. Granted it has a tougher reciprocating assembly than the average honda motor, this does not mean turboing a NA motor means you are doomed. Adding any power modifyer decreases the life of the engine.. unless you are downgrading ...so what does an average 4g63 get for engine life in mileage?
