420a Turbo Eclipse Setup

[@DSMTUNER]

Damn it's almost been two years, I need to get it together haha 😂. The car has been through so much sense this video. I promise a new video within the next few weeks.

@Keith Emilio I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@isaiasraiden4160]

@Keith Emilio It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@keithemilio8888]

@Isaias Raiden No problem xD

dude you sound just like Paul Walker😥

[@pexzpossessed4817]

Exactly my thought 😯

Im Summers I was just thinking that.. R.I.P. Paul 😔

[@FeeFee121]

I love that valve cover.

[@royalcazmose5699]

Nice, I been debating on making mine turbo, in due time I will, thanks for sharing this

[@hassanmya3085]

you sound like Paul Walker

[@gabealves]

you can get rid of the CEL for EGR delete with a resistor.. nice build.

[@dirtysouthoffroad6402]

Keep up the videos, the last few weeks have had me knocking the cob webs off of my 95 420a eclipse. Thinking about a total rebuild and might as well play with it a little while I'm at it

[@thek3bcchannel994]

Bro do more videos I like your DSM 🙏💪

[@joelsanchez2919]

Nice car and video men , I have a 97 rs with the 420a I'm planning to turbo it..

[@Cece.R]

That's what i am doing right now! :)

[@shihi51]

@@Cece.R im thinking about doing it as well. Which turbo kit are you getting?

[@Cece.R]

@@shihi51 I did not buy a kit. I went and searched all the parts after i did a bunch of research. Good thing about the 420a 2.0L DOHC engines is the heads are cast so they can actually handle a turbo.... BUT before you go crazy, replace the timing belt and timing belt pulleys. Also, inspect the cams and replace the valve cover gasket, tube rings, grommets. Be very careful, LIKE WARNING!! Do not just tighten that valve cover down, follow the bolting patterns and bolt specs for lbs. I have the TO4E .63 Turbo with external wastegate. Stock setting is at 8lbs but you can push almost 20lbs with that motor stock. Just change that timing belt, all the pulleys. Remove evap tank, not needed. Vac Delete everything but the coolant overflow tank, Throttle body, Blow off valve. Also mine as well use new motor mounts since you can undo one and prop the engine up and do everything on it at a tilt. Find me on fb @ Toney Redfern or message me here. These cars are super awesome to work on. Very easy to install turbos. also i switched to a Cast iron t3/t4 exhaust manifold. New water outlet and thermostat. Serp belt, timing belt and pulleys. All new gaskets. Make sure to change the piston robs, the heads are cast as i said before, they can most definitely handle a turbo.

[@justsumday2010]

looking good

[@efraindaone9547]

Bad ass homii hell yeah

[@jamal_2088]

Do you have a list and links for the turbo setup

[@RicoYT23]

Does anyone know where the top hose on the intake manifold goes to/ starts? The one he blocked off for the EVAP delete with the yellow rubber piece. Any help I’d really appreciate 🤟🏼

[@DSMTUNER]

It goes to the canister solenoid on the passenger side behind the front bumper. Part of the evap system. I removed all those lines. PM me if you need help.

[@riceball4u172]

Also create a parts list so others could do it too.

[@gtrsquadboii3912]

Where did you order yours at I wanna go for that set up

[@DSMTUNER]

Unfortunately hahn racecraft doesn't sell the turbo kit anymore. I found this one from a guy years ago. Just keep your eye out. You could piece something together buying all the parts separate.

[@davidsl3749]

Where do I get the strut tower bar ??? Thanks

[@DSMTUNER]

This one came with a parts car a had. But you should be able to find them on eBay and such if you search around.

[@davidsl3749]

Yeah I have and the only one that's available anymore is Megan racing and it's $800. They used to be a diamond dozen where you can get cheap ones on eBay for 30 or $40 but they simply don't exist anymore

[@mrjakknife7056]

where u get the turbo kit i dont see it on the site and the forged internals

[@riceball4u172]

Nice, try to push it to the limit once you got everything set up

[@elijahstewart1333]

i got an assload of questions for you if you dont mind. So ive got a 3g eclipse, and im looking at 2gs for sale, i hate convertibles irrationally so i will not get a spyder. reason im looking for 2gs is my 3g is an auto and manual 3gs are hard to find and are going for a lot more than 2gs are. My goal for the 3g eclipse was to boost it to the neighborhood of 350-400 horses since the 4g64 can do that relatively easy. Now to the meat of the question. What can the 420a handle on stock internals? and how much work would it be to boost it to that goal? How much is yours making?

[@ctrdrifter3172]

did you have to get rid of the a/c compresor im new at this i just got my first dsm and hoping to see more about your coo car

[@DSMTUNER]

I didn't have to, just didn't want it cause the pump wasn't working anyway. Free's up alot of room and weight. It's very common to delete the A/C and cruise control

[@ctrdrifter3172]

DSMTUNER but its there is no need to remove it then my a/c work supper cold and thats y i was asking. if i do. have to take the a/c off i rather keep the a/c i live in the desert lol

[@DSMTUNER]

Oh by all means keep it! It's not required to remove if you're thinking about going turbo

[@looollllspspsp]

What the knock sound I got same thing from mine fully built gt35. I was thinking the engine was blow but good compression.

[@DSMTUNER]

Yeah I did some research and its actually completely normal with forged internals, they manufacture the pistons with slightly smaller bore sizes so they can expand to higher temperatures under boost, thus the knocking.

[@olwineucedaperez6977]

Glooks for having a eclipse

[@k1n3_crd87]

This man sounds like Paul walker

[@Dantaeb]

Bro where did u get that oil feed line from I have the same kit but I need another because my old one got messed up, I’m not sure what inlet size it is .... help❗️❗️❗️❗️

[@DSMTUNER]

It's was custom made. Any plumbing or pipe fittings store can make one for you. Just tell them the fitting sizes on each end.

[@brockmiller1992]

Can you send me a list of everything I will need

[@DSMTUNER]

Have an ig? Follow me @radbrad_dsm I'll dm you

[@josephmunoz8195]

Is that you Paul ?

[@harleysmallwood6757]

What manifold and turbo did you buy

[@legacywerkzz7531]

What thermostat are you using ?

[@DSMTUNER]

Just a regular one, 195 temp I believe

[@OmniVerse-vd7fv]

How much the setup cost?

[@dakotalankford4027]

what is the color you used on the valve cover?? i cant find this paint code anywhere

[@blackbeard6861]

Red carbon fiber

[@RyyFoo]

What do you gain from deleting the EGR

[@DSMTUNER]

1. EGR system takes up vital space engine bay 2. Exhaust gases going back into intake doesn't sound good. I wouldn't recommend it if you're state is harsh on emissions testing.

[@rangers_texas]

Engine stock?

[@annetteortiz8296]

Can you help me set up my gs

[@250gtskyline5]

How is it going KZbin. You sound like Brian O Connor from FF1.

[@DSMTUNER]

I get that all the time lol

[@joshAKAtheman]

Definitely upload more, I just turbocharged my 420a this past summer and I did run into some quirks but its not bad. I have a similar setup to yours. Few questions, is your car a 95? And i don't think you mentioned anything about an FMU so im wondering how do you raise your fuel pressure under boost? You have a stock ECU as well so you obv dont have any tune in that sense. Does the fuel pressure regulator do that?

[@DSMTUNER]

Yeah I'm working on making another update soon, just have been really busy. It is a 99 with the stock fuel regulator removed. Replaced with a sfmu to set the static fuel pressure at idle and raises the fuel pressure under boost. Its a BEGI/cartech fmu. Most people run those or a vortech fmu. Combined with a walbro 255 pump. As of now I've upgraded to 440cc injectors.

[@joshAKAtheman]

@@DSMTUNER Really cool man, I dig your build. I'm curious as to how the car gets into and out of boost with that fuel setup. You plan to go full race car on this build? You hinted you may be getting a megasquirt EMS. If you do get one I'd like to know from where, Symtech Labs is outta business so you cannot get it directly from them anymore.

[@DSMTUNER]

@@joshAKAtheman I may go with the MS system in the future, this car currently is my daily driver so don't have much time or money to go for the upgrade. I've seen plenty of non MS 420a turbo pushing 20psi no problem however, just need the correct fuel setup with built internals. People all over the forums will pressure you to go mega-squirt but you really don't need it unless your going all balls race. But yes mega-squirt systems nowadays you have to build yourself with a kit, like the ones sold by diyautotune.

[@cuzrocks5002]

Aem fic6 the best 420a turbo I have it no problem

[@franklacanlale]

Did u have any problems getting a fuel cut while getting on boost?

[@DSMTUNER]

Not at wide open throttle, only sometimes if i press on the gas slightly maybe for passing someone on the highway. Not a huge issue though.

[@franklacanlale]

Thanks and what year is your dsm?

[@DSMTUNER]

1999

[@1jzhatch113]

what’s the rounded horsepower after the turbo?

[@DSMTUNER]

230-250 estimated, still haven't dyno'd it yet

[@tobyleve6111]

What type of Ecu are you running

[@DSMTUNER]

Stock ecu

[@chrismendenhall466]

Hey man can you email some info on boosting a 420a?

[@joelparada6533]

is it worth putting a turbo on a 420a ?

[@DSMTUNER]

That question is asked everyday and there's still no definite answer. If you have the money, time, and commitment it can be worth it.

[@ery2gdsm547]

Wat size is your turbo?

[@DSMTUNER]

Hahn super 16g, its a 20g wheel in a 16g housing

[@3lyK]

What kind of fuel pressure gauge are you using? An how did you install it? Are you running a ss line from the schrader valve on the rail to the gauge?

[@DSMTUNER]

Auto meter electronic fuel pressure gauge, runs off a sending unit attached to the fuel pressure regulator sfmu. The aftermarket regulator runs off the schrader valve on the rail with a SS line then returns to the tank.

[@MrEdrisdem]

Can u pass deq with this setup?

[@DSMTUNER]

I'm not sure I don't have emissions testing in my state. But if I turned fuel pressure way down then probably.

[@thomasbowen6404]

Where are you from man I have a 420a+T as well

[@DSMTUNER]

Small town in Maine

[@thomasbowen6404]

DSMTUNER Hello yeah you still in stock ecu?

[@DSMTUNER]

Yes still stock ecu, running the SFMU to control my injectors. Going to make video soon of the larger ones.

[@omarvlogs7928]

DSMTUNER do more videos

[@DSMTUNER]

I'm working on some right now, just busy with college.

[@joelsanchez2919]

How much HP are you making.??

[@DSMTUNER]

On 10psi somewhere possibly around mid 200's i'm guessing, have not taken it on a dyno. Have had lots of problems sense this video (timing belt broke driving 60mph, blown oil fitting, etc.) But I'm trying to make time to make another update.

[@kadenvillicana2424]

Can you make the 420 go stututuu 😂

[@marcosr666]

Nice, Im saving money to fotify my engine. Can you check out one of my videos and give me some thoughts and advice? Im looking foward to seeing more videos

[@lilbill11891]

There was never a follow up video 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@DSMTUNER]

Very busy with school and such. Car is in storage for winter right now but hopefully within the next couple months I'll have it out.

Good.... not enough boosted 420a videos on here lol I'm still building mine atm.
