I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish. But from what I understand the 4 cyl srt4 motor is capable of a lot more then the eclipse v6. Again not sure about your year and goals, but you might be better of with a turbo set up and maybe some work on the internals, it would be cheaper and your car would be faster. Just a thought.

I'm not sure where you live, but pending I can find a turbo setup, I would swap my 3.0 v6 auto with you. I know a guy who will do the work for dirt cheap, pending it all fits of course. It's the mitsu 6g72 motor.
