Kinda going against my better judgement here, but I've decided to post a few pictures up of my other car. I know these cars arn't really welcome here, as I've found out so far. Here's just a few pictures that I've been wanting to throw up. Hopefully I don't get bashed too much.

Hit the wrong button grrr....
Door panel

Turbo1
Turbo2
Turbo3
Apexi/Gauges for turbo
Full exhaust. Was installing mounts.
Clutch/pressure plate
Ooooollllllld engine shot. After I was forced to remove the turbo.
Yeah, sadly, I managed to blow the seals on the turbo. I was forced to take it off and return to n/a because I don't have the money to rebuild it or buy another one.
Oh well. The mileage is getting up there, and it's probably a good thing since I make long hauls back and forth to school now. It's been a fun car. Never had anything really go wrong with it in the 5 years that I've owned it. I've been proud because that entire turbo kit I installed and tuned myself along with everything else done to that car. I apologize for the lack of other pictures with the turbo, my fuel setup for it, and some installed pictures of the clutch/pressure plate, but my hard drive died about a year ago, and I lost a ton of irreplaceable pictures in the process.

Nope. Was a kit that I collected parts for, for about a year. It consisted of:
-DSM 14B Turbo
-Apex'i SAFC
- 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Fuel Pump
-Audi Front Mount Intercooler
-Vortec Engenering FMU
-1st gen DSM turbo manifold
-1st gen DSM bypass valve
-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipise GSX Injectors
-Modified fuel rail to accept the injectors + wiring harnesses to install the resistor pack to allow for the change in the injector ohms rating.
Thanks for the comments so far guys

oh cool, i dont know much about those imports so i didnt know.
turbo the cav!
-Borsty
What does she run at the track?
how much boost do you have it set at? you know www.sharkracing.com has kits up there too full ones specifically for our cars. haha sorry i say ours because i have a hyundai.
most issue is you run into having a stock used 14b eclipse turbo been beat the @!#$ out of most likely by whatever car it was in before. ya gotta love how mitsu parts fit our cars..
the rippmods supercharger kit for the V6 tiburon is actually there superchager kit for the V6 eclipse just with some minor things changed.
but ya acid check out sharkracing they also have the reflashed ECUs which they can tune for the turbo. i know the tibs were 500 so im not sure how much the elantras will cost.
"Theres a time in every mans life where he hits a cross roads and...wait...are you wearing panties?"
i think they are around the same weight maybe a little less then a cav... the V6 tibs weigh in at just over 3000 pounds.
also if its the 2.0 they can usually handle a decent amount of boost and nitrious. i didnt think much of them but a couple guys in the group here have newer ones and a turbo one not bad.. lol last car anyone would expect to have a turbo hiding under the hood.
"Theres a time in every mans life where he hits a cross roads and...wait...are you wearing panties?"
Haha, yeah. I'd LOVE to turbo the Cav, but the problem is, it's not technically my car. The Cav is really my gf's ride. That's why I've joined up here and started learning about em because it's basically my new project car
I've got some plans for the Cav still though. I've manged to get the h/o manifold on, easy I know, but still. Stuff will come, I'm just really low on money now. College will do that
I have known about sharkracing since they were first starting out. They've gotten pretty big lately. I've since stopped modding my car and kinda left the Hyundai scene. My engine's really getting old and I've usd it a lot over the years. It's kinda taken it's toll on the engine finally
I've finally got 4th cyl piston ring starting to go out on me
But at almost 150k and a lot of use and abuse, I'd still say that damn engine was tough. The beta block itself, as cavrs97 said, is well know to being able to handle a lot of boost and nitrous straight from the factory. Strong block. Never had a single problem in 5 years or 150k miles besides one of the stock wires being crappy.
I did so much to my Elantra over the years, changed tons of stuff, tried out many things. I had a dual throttle body intake manifold on there that I made after about a couple months of figuring it out, getting parts, cutting off the end, welding on another one and getting both butterflies to work in sync. Thanks again to the apexi's split MAF signal capabilities, adding in another MAF and making another wiring harness, this was actually possible to do
. I lost all the damn pictures of the manifold on my car though
I still have the manifold out on my garage. I took it off because I never managed to get it fulled tuned properly. Could snap a few if anyone's interested in how it looks.
As far as how much boost I was running, I had to modify the actuator a little bit to bring the boost down to about 5-6psi. VERY mild street setup, but this was my very first forced induction thing I had ever done. More interested in getting it working well than pulling hard numbers. It's really easy to buy a kit and slap it on. Kinda why I took a lot of pride as I know a lot of members here have done as well when designing their own kit completely on their own and fabricating everything needed.
Sadly, I never got around to getting it to the track to run when the turbo was on and working good. I finally twisted my stock pressure plate at 100k and had to get the new clutch and such. After that I've kinda been easy on it with that one piston ring going bad. In it's good days when I had all my compression and the turbo on, I could only guess about what it would run, I'd say probably mid-low 14's? Like I said, this was more of a learning experience for me to see if I could pull it off without just running out and buying a kit.
And yeah, I can agree on the used DSM turbo being abused before I got it. Even though it had barely any shaft play, it didn't take long to blow the seals out of it
Thanks for the input so far guys.

well you can usually get a decent turbo off ebay i know a couple guys here that have done that and got pretty killer deals on T3/T4 models brand new.
ya on the tib boards theres a pretty sweet newer tib GT in the vid section 2.0 turbo 370whp not sure if hes still running the stock internals.
the V6 is only ranked around 250 before it breaks but that has been far proven wrong by people running over 300HP... draw back though like DSMs we use timing belts which needs to be replaced every 60k miles or so.
how many of those miles did you have the turbo on?
"Theres a time in every mans life where he hits a cross roads and...wait...are you wearing panties?"
decent 14b turbos are had very cheap. if you look in the right places they are right about 80 bucks
i picked my 14b up for 100 wich came with a bunch of lines and crap.
I had around 70kish miles on it when I undertook the project. I never really looked around. $100 bucks for that is pretty cheap. I'd love to get a t3, manifold, and a decent fuel pump for the Cav and put in the safc and fmu that I used on my project and go from there for a light boost setup, but with school I just don't have the time or money anymore.
I loved the top end on my car when it was running great, but I love the low end on the Cav. It's much easier to mod the Cav. Back when I got my car and started modding it, no one was interested in making anything for them. Almost everything had to be custom designed and such to work, but that's part of the fun. That's one of the things I like about the cav; Has a pretty decent after market.
