Supercharger soon available.

Basically MPH scammed a lot of Club 3G members, they even had the balls to charge things that they never sold just to get money. They were sued by several members, and are being sued by more. I think Club 3G even brought a Class Action Suit against them. I'd read up on www.EclipseForums.org for full info, just type in "MPH Unlimited" in the search engine and you'll find plenty.

On the other hand Reelax hasn't had a problem with them, so go figure.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tiller)</div><div class='quotemain'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TJC)</div><div class='quotemain'>I know some say that with a mild turbo running under 7psi, all you need to do is probably upgrade the tranny.

With that said, how much engine and tranny upgrading would be needed to accommodate an SC (if any)?

BTW, thx Tiller and Wes for all the clerification on SC's & Turbo's. :thumbsup:</div>

i wouldn't want to run more than 5-7 psi on the Galant's stock tranny... but i'm not too familiar with them so i couldn't say for sure... i never ran any FI on a auto tranny... with a manual you always want to upgrade the clutch, and normally lighten the flywheel to allow the rpm's to build quicker...

unless you plan to run double digit boost numbers i wouldn't eb too worried about internals and the tranny... from Mitsu's reputation, their bottom ends can take a hell of a lot of boost, without ANY work...</div>

HKS and Mitsu tested a S/C on a V6 Galant running around 5-7psi they couldn't keep the tranny from blowing, and knowing how cheap Mitsu is about cool things in the USA they scraped the project. ANd your right about the stock bottom end can take hella abuse, but its still good to get forged pistons, and ofcourse fuel upgrades but you know that.

true.

But at least with an SC, you don't get all that boost all at once and think you can get away with more. A good analogy is like driving normally from a dead stop while in gear versus neutral drops, hahaha. Ok, I mean almost.

Big H Killa · 08-19-2002, 09:02 AM

I agree with Tiller. To eliminate alot of turbo lag you get one big turbo and one small and there you go. The smaller helps eliminate the larger turbo's lag and the larger turbo picks up were the smaller turbo falls off.

ESdriver00 · 08-19-2002, 11:39 AM

Well I think a turbo is more to blow your tranny than a supercharger just because once you get over the lag and it kicks in that shit is alot of strain on your tranny, as where as the SC is power at all RPM and is shared. Nevertheless I'm getting my tranny rebuilt, torque conv., valve body system, the works.

Vision Imports said their supercharger will probrably be under $2700.

**GalantT3** · 08-19-2002, 01:16 PM

2700 is a damn good price for a supercharger! When is it supposed to be released?

Can someone please list all the people that make turbo kits or super charger kits for the I-4?

Also, thanx Red Galant for letting me know how shady MPH is!!! I dont need any trouble!!!! And you just prevented me from making a bad choice!

Just letting fellow members know the truth of these companies

AS for who makes turbo kits?

www.XtechEng.com (Only has a V6 Turbo kit)
www.HahnRaceCraft.com (Supposed to have made a turbo kit for the 3G)
www.ddynopower.com (First producer of FI Kits for the V6 and I4 3G, recently released Stage 2 Kits)
www.MPHUnlimited.com (Shady yes, but they are producing the Twin Turbo kit for us 8Gs Galants and 3G Eclipses, good luck actually getting it though)
www.RippMods.com (Produces the only S/C Kit for the V6 3GEclipse/2g Stratus/8G Galant, has taken measurements for the I4 3GEclipse /2G Stratus/8G Galant)
www.AtmospherePerformance.com (Put their Turbo Project 3G on hold for now)

there may be more buts thats all i can remember right now.

**Mitsiman** · 08-19-2002, 08:54 PM

To clarify some information

(A) The RPW supercharger kits are actually something that is being co designed with RIPP mods for the australian market and is not intended for teh USA market.

(

The RPW twin turbo kits for the V6 model vehicles are being designed by us and will be exported to the USA market.

I am sure there is more I wanted to say - other than our turbo kits will be preset at a 5 psi bracket and running two Garret GT-25 ball bearing turbo's which will result in NO TURBO LAG and are extremely efficient. At that psi boost they will produce more horsepower than a supercharger system purely as there is no drag on the engine and we will not have fitment problems etc like other companies have had.

Anyway any questions I am happy to answer.

BiGMaN · 08-20-2002, 05:46 PM

I can't figure out how Doug's DynoPower got so much more out of the turbo on the 4cyl than the 6. It says that the stock 6 dynoed at 146hp and w/turbo it went up to 259hp, a 77% gain. And the stock 4 dynoed at 109hp and they got that up to 230 hp a 111% gain. Can anyone explain that to me :?:

**Mitsiman** · 08-20-2002, 07:17 PM

There are several factors - which turbo is used and its efficiency level on a four cyl V 6 cyl Ie turbo size, choice of boost level, intercooler size and efficiency on relevant motors, choice of fuel injection mods etc.

Damn. But this will be still be available to us though right? And it will work right? I wouldn't mind getting the twin turbo but don't want to lose header, and too much other shit involved with turbo. Will you guys ever make a supercharger for us U.S owners?

**Mitsiman** · 08-21-2002, 08:29 PM

At this stage with the RIPP Mods supercharger system out there we will not be developing a system for teh galants.

We will be developing our twin turbo system which can be adpated to the galants no problems but if you want a supercharger then definitly speak with RIPP Mods or one of our dealers who wil lalso be distributing the RIPP mods supercharger system.

It's been a long time coming......Slowly but surely....finally..... things r coming together for us 8g owners. There r companies that r willing to listen to us and finally see that our 8g's can be a rare thing if seriously "imported out". i think i'm gonna cry also :cry:

8)
First the intake, then the headers, now the S/C and turbo...and not just any turbo but possibly a TT......*ah 8) how great. It's to bad someone isn't dong anything w/an exhaust system. but can't be to picky i guess. Did anyone say thanks to Importvision and RPW? *in unison...Thanks GUYS!....

Just when i was gonna criticize RPW for making a turbo for our 3rd cousin the Lancer (not to be mistaken w/our 1st cuzins...The EVO and eclipse).

Hey Mitsiman thanks for taking us seriously...Keep up the good work........

Yes

**Mitsiman** · 08-27-2002, 07:54 PM

Thanks for the comments.

Yes I am personally itching to finish the twin turbo system and we can produce a turbo system for the 8G I4 guy's as well if you were interestd. Very competitve pricing as well as using the garret ball bearing turbo system with no turbo lag and great responsivness.
