Xtech Turbo Kit for V6 GTZ available
Hey all - there's a turbo kit out for the 6 cylinder 8th Generation Galant GTZ. As you may or may not know, the GTZ shares the same engine and drivetrain with the Eclipse GT, Stratus R/T and Sebring LXI. I've been following the progress on their kit thus far and it is very promising.
The company is called Xtech (http://www.xtecheng.com). They came out with the kit implementing a simpler design than Doug's kit. (There are many horror stories about Doug's kit...poor design with the 6 cylinder kit in 3rd generation Eclipses.)
They offer a Stage I kit ($3200) and a Stage II kit ($TBD). Difference between the two, Stage II has a front mount intercooler.
The Stage I kit dyno'ed at about 237 hp AT THE WHEELS with 1 piston out. That's roughly 250 hp at the wheels with all 6 pistons working https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...fault/wink.gif ! At the crank, it should be close to 280 hp! The kit is tuned to run at 6.6 psi on stock internals. Currently, the kit has been installed on 2 cars - both having logged quite a few thousand miles on daily drivers (both Eclipse GT's).
Here's the kit (Water to Air Intercooler isn't part of the package):
