my car has nearly 100,000 on it and in question whether i should go forced induction or not. sense it has aluminum heads do you think the motor isnt strong enough to live a long life? Right now i am in debate to just buy another car older with less cpu's and motor is made out of cast iron rather then have aluminum internals. what do you guys think?

Most companies have have hybrids and electric cars and it's only going to keep going look a Chevy the have hybrids and electrics now and the gas machines are going down the only real cars Chevy has is the comaros and corvetts which is the horsepower is going up dramsticaly and so is the price and the electrics are taking over the market

They've also been put out to pasture entirely I think twice before. Oil companies stand to make next to nothing off of them or we'd be driving cars powered by almost anything but already. I think the hybrids are out there just to make the stupid vegans happy, and that special happy group of folks in San Fran (sssnnnnifffffff, points if you catch the reference).
I'm not outright saying you're wrong (okay I guess I did, but I'll take it back for now), I'm just saying that I don't think it has a hope in hubris. If we survive the 2012 apocalypse, the 2013 apocalypse, and all the way through to the 2016 apocalypse, and we're both still on the forums here, I'll buy you a beer if it's all electric on the road. I'll even overnight a six-pack.

i am a mechanic, its just the only thing iv worked on are older model v8s, mainly chevys, and i know how easy it is to make power on them, stock bottom end get the heads p&p and good intake cam and exhaust and boom you got a cheap and decently fast car, used to have a nice nova before it got totalled, but anyways i just love my eclipse but yeah i dont really know anything about these new cars. but at the same time i know for the same price as just the turbo kit for a car like ours i could build a 500 hp v8 without nitrous or anything. now i wish i woulda just bought another old school with my insurance money

holy thread revival.
no.
no.
4g69 internals are good to 210hp i think and if u want more like 300 to 350 i think u need forged pistons and thicker head gasket...i just seen pics of this guy named stayer and he has a mitsubishi galant with a 4g69 with custom exhaust manifold and garrett turbo and whole lot of stuff he custome made
Stayer is a well known member on here, he does tuning and all sorts of fun builds with the 4g69. He has some services and products for sale here
But I can tell you right now that the stock internals will take more than 210hp
PS: Holy thread revival
I have 2006 Mitsubishi gs 2.4 automatic same engine, transmission and fuel pump. Still running strong. My only advice would be follow owner manual to the tee. Change all Fluids dont flush transmission. Drain and replace. As we speak. I'm 197,500 miles still running strong.
