![]() ![]() ![]() It is arguably one of the nicest looking cars to come out from Mitsubishi. ![]() There were only a few engine choices initially ranging from a 1.8 to a stunning turbocharged 2.0 engine making just under 200bhp. The mk3 eclipse hit the streets in 2000 and engine options were wider with options based on 2 blocks a 2.4 litre displacement the 4G64 16v SOHC and the larger capacity 6G75 a 24v SOHC 3.0 V6 (power on the latter of these was hiked in 2003 where the MVIC variable induction manager was introduced.) In 1995 the model range was revised and you could choose between a 2.0 and 2.4l engine with a turbocharged 2.0 which had power hiked to 210bhp. ![]() In 2006 we saw the introduction of the 4th generation Eclipse with the same engine blocks but the introduction of the MIVEC system raising power on the engines to new heights. If you are doing an engine swap on a previous series Eclipse these new engines and the older turbo unit are the best of the breed. If you were power mad then you should look at inserting a Lancer EVO engine. Many Eclipse owners uprate the handling of their cars as a priority, this will certainly increase your enjoyment of the car. We would go to a maximum drop of 35mm on most models. You risk rubbing on the arches if you go lower than this although in reality it depends on wheel size and tyre profile. Mapping - remapping provides the most advantage in terms of cost savings, aftermarket ECUs, and piggyback ECUs are all alternatives.Our aim in Eclipse engine tuning should be to increase peak power and Torque at the top end.
