turbo

hello
i'm kind of new to building tuners and i was wondering where the turbo on the amt eclipse would hook up to.
thanks

the turbo on front wheel drive cars is positioned at the front. The exhaust housing is the smaller section of the turbocharger and is connected to the exhaust manifold aka header,extractor There is also an pipe which runs out of this smaller exhaust housing, this is the exhaust sytem and runs underneath the chasis. The larger compressor housing has a airfilter with intake pipe which runs directly into the housing and there is also a pipe which runs out the side of the compressor housing and into a front mounted intercooler. the best way to figure out how to connect a 1/24 scale turbo is to find 1/1 reference pics.

FIRST OF ALL, the AMT eclipse Engine is fu**ed up beyond beliefe, if you have no previous idea/know how of how a turbo works, this isnt a kit to try to learn on.



im not good at explaining through words how a turbo works, but if u will take 5 minutes to search through this forum (it even says google at the top) you will find ALL the info your little hard could desire

step 1: Go buy revell diecast Eclipse GSX

step 2: Take all chrome engine parts from Revell kit

step 3: Put it on the AMT Engine block

Or, Just use the whole revell eclipse instead, And use the AMT decal's...

How a turbo works. (http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm)

That will explain to you pretty much all you need to know about turbos - where it attaches, what's going on and whatnot. Hope this helps.

Man, you picked a bad kit to learn about turbos or even engines in general. I'm sure the designers of that kit are asking the same question you are.
