Jake_ISR MP3 Project

Thanx for the help. Its crazy because in my 95 Eclipse Gst I ran 20 psi with factory tranny and motor. Thats the good old 4G63 though.

Eclipse motor > Slotege motor You said it.....

Im on the lookout for turbo manifold, High compression forged pistons, forged rods and some intercooler parts so if you have a deal for me let me know.

9psi? Did those trannies have revised synchros and shift forks? I blew my 3rd gear over a year ago at 10psi but it was an early 02 with unrevised parts.

You may have some issues with the tranny even with the GTX gears. Try it out though...ive gone through 3 trannies and a welded LSD on daily driving with just 9psi. But everyone is different.

High compression? You're going to have to pull a lot of timing. Talk to LinuxRacr he has been running high compression for a few years and I think he has to pull a lot timing and he's only at 9.1:1. I will PM you the guys I buy most of my parts from. The manifold they sell is ubber reliable, can you say Lifetime warranty....

They most likely were the older trannies. They are out of 96/93 probes so far. The current one I didn't bother to look at the year, just the tranny fluid condition. I pay $110 per tranny plus my own labor to get them out of the car and into mine at home. Reason why I haven't opted for a rebuild. Maybe when I have more time over the summer I will try to learn how to rebuild them and order the revised stuff but I would even worry about that stuff.

 

[Jake_isr]

what is the stock compression on the MP3 pistons? are they the same as the MSP? If not whats the factory MSP pistons?

 

[shane02pro5]

They are all the same 9.1:1 but Mp3 has slightly advanced timing

 

[Jake_isr]

So if I keep the same compression just go forged I should be good?

 

[shane02pro5]

9.1:1 on a forged motor will keep you limited to low boost. Typically 8.5:1 is the better option and less prone to detonation and will allow higher boost levels.

 

[zoomin MP3]

But high boost numbers don't mean much. It's all about tuning and cylinder pressure. The World challange cars run 12.5:1 pistons and turbo. So yeah, forged internals with stock compression ratio is fine.

I just got all the turbo stuff on and the car cleaned up all I need now is one oil fitting I should get tomorrow and then I'm rolling again.

Awesome!!! so what KIT are you running or is it a put together kit? Pics of the engine bay!

 

[Jake_isr]

I'll get them soon

 

[blueprotegelx]

congrats man..how's she running? glad to hear that my ecu worked out for you. i'm heading home this weekend to get my car running for summer and test out the ecu. i'm stoked! haha.

 

[Jake_isr]

I haven't started it yet, because I am still waiting on that one oil fitting.

 

[2.0t03speed]

nice man good luck with it did you ever build the motor?

 

[Jake_isr]

Engine bay

This is the recently installed turbo.

 

[blueprotegelx]

nice...hope everything works out for you man!
