Are all mitsubishi eclipse GSX and GST turbo??

[yfzrider45]

Yeah, i'm wanting the eclipse with turbo, i'm still lookin around for one....but all GST and GSX are turbo rite??? i know they have other models that dont but i wanna make sure all GSX and GST's have turbo.....thanks in advance

[LTR450_#67]

Yeah as far as I know Eclipse GST and GSXs are turbo'd....GST's were front loaders and the GSXs were AWD.

alrite thanks alot!!

Yeah all DSM's are turbo. What gen are you lookin for? 1st gen 90-94 or 2nd gen 95-99? Your not gonna find one not modded most likely so find one with the least amount of mods. Espcially still having the stock turbo.

i would get a gsx over a gst.

My favorite years are 94 for the 1st gen and 97-99 for 2nd gens.

not all DSM's are turbo'd only GST's and GSX. The GT's and lower are non turbo and Wrong Wheel Drive.

off topic, but my friend has a "800"hp 2nd gen gst. I put quotations around the 800 since I've yet to see the dyno. But it was redicoulsy fast before his second rebuild, which has yet to be finished. It was fast as hell, but FWD= FTL

Yeah, i'm looking for 95-98 GSX or GST....i preferbally like the AWD!! i dont like front wheel at all.....and yea i'm having trouble finding one stock:p , i found a couple GST stock so thats why i'm lookin maybe into settling for one of those!!

coming from a owner of a few dsm's i hope your ready to spend money they do break alot even stock ones and the gs-t ot gs-x comparison from anything over 10mph roll the gs-t will always win mod for mod and are faster believe me i had both the awd is just good for out of the whole and the gst is better for eveything else

[yfzrider45]

Honestly i'd take either one, but prefer the AWD.....what do you mean by break a lot?? what breaks?? I'm gettn a lot of aftermarkets, hopefully tat covers it!??

[mstrfreestyle69]

fast cars but they do break allot as stated above. they have problems with the timing belts snapping and valves going into the pistons (usualy doesnt hurt the pistons but bends the valves and breaks valve guides), crank walk and if they are modded you are always tuning them and f-ing around with them . fast when you can get them to run though.

[440bigborekit]

your going to go with alot fo after market i sure hope you kno what your doing becuase they wont respond well without a really good tne it will probably just breank on yea build a turbo b series honda if you want to go fast and be decently reliable

[yfzrider45]

I know what i'm doin for sure....i've been customizing customers cars and fixing regular cars for 3 years now. I know it may seem a small amount of time but i watch and i can learn by a hands on approach better than books!!! But i've never worked on a GST or GSX..i've only dealt with the other models without turbos.......i hope your wrong about breaking a lot lol.....

[440challenger]

snowball affect, they always break . wether its tracing down a boost leak, doing a timing belt, erratic idle, etc. just big money pits. Like mentioned before, if your set on a turbo car build a little turbo hatch honda
