I did two RS turbo jobs in the early 2000s with star turbo kits (t3/t4 turbo). Kept them around 6-8 lbs (w FMIC) and it was plenty of fun.

You're considered on of the OG's. 2gnt had a wealth of info back then. I turbo'd my GS back in 2005 and it ran well until my wastegate got messed up and blew my engine which was on stock internals.

@@dan2688 Definitely cool to see these projects popping up in my feeds :-) feeling like a time traveler. Similar to your story I watched my buddy so excited to turbo his RS and track it that same weekend. He ran into an issue with this boost controller popping off the vacuum and he saw crazy overboost... and bent something.

That block off block he is talking about is for the stock map sensor on the top passenger side. People listen to me don't listen to me whatever but I have a 2000 dodge avenger with a boosted 420a and a 1999 eclipse rs boosted 420a. DO NOT RUSH and run an FMU they are garbage junk crap, please save your money get a Mega Squirt 2 and some 40lb Bosh top feed injectors and a wideband with two outputs. FMUs are unreliable, hard on injectors and pumps and always always eventually fail in one way or another always. also spend the time and money on head studs and a good head gasket and open your ring gap to whatever you need for the amount of boost you wanna run, another big issue with the 420a is the timing belt tensioner, buy a manual one and throw away that hydraulic piece of crap cause it will fail 100%.

Yeah I'd rather just engine swap, the 4G63 is basically a direct swap and you'd have an easier time finding parts for that engine over the 420a where if it goes down you'll spend weeks in junk yards cause nobody has anything on shelves for the 420a. There's also just no way to make good boost reliably on that engine, 250 hp is pushing it, the 4G63 makes that stock.

@@lionscott1663 Been a while since I had my hands on a 420a but If I remember correctly there's one belt that just runs the AC and power steering if you're cool driving without those things all you got to do is remove that belt, tensioner pulley ( I cant remember if it had tensioner or the tension was given by moving power steering pump back and forth), AC compressor , and power steering ( both are usually held on by 4 bolts). I drove my 420a eclipse for a while without power steering and it wasn't too bad, the hardest part was parking and turning at stop signs when stopping completely.

Forreal, and they are approaching 30 years old by now which means that most original timing belts either snapped already or are gonna snap soon so a bunch are headed to the junkyard. I've seen people ask 2k for 420a with some rust and shit, I think your best bet is to keep an eye on Copart, Its not that much people looking for a 2g eclipse nowadays so you might find one that's been in a lil fender bender or something and get it for under 2k after fees and everything.

With the 420 engines they really aren’t meant for boost and so you can only run between 6 to 8 psi reliably it would just depend on what you trying to go for. Daily reliable just get a cheap kit and run it low psi if you want more power then I would say build it.
