Turbo question.

Buddy of mine just upgraded his turbo and sold me the stock he had. It's a T25. I have a 95 eclipse with 420a. My question is. It's hard finding everything I need to get it running. The only turbo headers I can find are for a T3 and a T4, will that still bolt up with mine? The bolt patterns are the same (4 bolts).

I been going to Punishmentracing.com to add up the prices but most the stuff there are for the 4g63. Any1 know any other websites to buy what I need for the 420a, or will most the 4g63 stuff fit?

Thanx

P.S Can any1 at all help me with a list of everything I need. I know I need the following.

Turbo Header
Wastegate
BOV
Downpipe
Computer to run turbo
Intercooler

That was awesome


Nearly all manifolds for the 420a are t3/4 flanged. You can make or probably buy an adapter somewhere for the Mitshu housing flange. Not worth it IMO since it is only a T25.

Just about nothing from the 4g63 will work for the 420a.


Check out my ESi to Turbo build in the projects section. Has a list of all the parts and everything. Basically need:
-turbo
-manifold
-downpipe
-oil lines
-FMU/SFMU
-Wastegate
-BOV
-Intercooler piping
-Intercooler (Sidemount of FMIC)
-Boost Gauge

LOL. Someone hit me with that on a local govt listserv I belong to. It was too funny to not bookmark.

LMAO.. thats awesome. But yea you need to do a lot more research before you take on a project like this. There is tons of info all over the web so just search around.

Definitely bookmark worthy! :grinyes:

Haha yup, I bookmarked it. Now the question is when can I use it on someone. :lol:

The guy that sold me the turbo said he will help out if I need it. I did try to google but nothing was coming up much for the 420a. Loads of 4g63 of course.

Oh if I put the turbo behind the back wheel instead of by the manifold, will it decrease boost? My buddy has his like that on his SI but I would think it would be better closer to the manifold. But I have to say it sounds great back there when it spools up..hehe

If you feel like running everything to the back of the car, then knock yourself out. Just FYI, there's not a lot of space to do all that. Also seems like when you have turbo back there, the turbo drain line is suddenly lower than the oil pan, causing the oil to back up back to the turbo and cause excess wear bearings. Easier and better IMO to mount off the manifold, but again, entirely your call. Run a non-restrictive exhaust and you can hear the turbo just as loud out the back then too.

If you put the turbo in the back you have to have an oil pump to push the oil back to the pan

Your car is not a Honda.

My buddy has his like that on his SI
turbo in the rear equals "Sh*ty Intake".... S.I.! awesome!:sarcasm1: maybe a neon turbo manifold? david and silvr are the 420a guys here... they know whats up. check out davids build thread. lots of good reading, information, and DO NOT try to mount your turbo in the rear... lol i remember that yellow corvette... stupid Horsepower TV....

Seriously? Why would you even consider putting it in the back when your manifold is on the front? Don't make things harder than it needs to be...

ok ok I wont put it in the back..gezzzz..lol:banghead:

On some applications remote mount turbo setups are great, and effiecient. STS makes awesome remote mount kits.

But on your car, theres no reason not to run it off the manifold.

how do you turn up the boost on a stock 1991 talon tsi awd. i would like to get 18psi +

you use an mbc but thats too much stock fuel system boost.

Good lord...

so should i get bigger enjectors or what. want alot of power but dont want to spend a lot of money u know

Power costs money. It takes money to make the car faster. Then it costs more money to keep it running.

Please don't hijack threads.

Yea dude search around some. This info is all over the internet. Like Dave said this thread has nothing to do with your question. If you cant not find an answer to your question post up a new thread about it. Dont just stick it in somewhere. Thanks

i have been looking around and i am willing to spend like 2-3 grand but not like 5.
i hav dreams for a evo 3 turbo but not sure of the power it would give me that is why i am asking all of these ? if i can get nearly the same amout of power
out of the stock i will just do that. what would be the best thing to do???????

You want power? Shell out the cash... You can't make power without upgrading parts.

We cant help you if you dont give us more information. How much power do you want. Then we can give you advise on which turbo to go with and etc. Also like I said earlier you need to open up a new thread which gives us all this information and not post it in this thread. Pm me if you have any questions.

K bought a T3 turbo header for my T25 turbo. So im going to need and adapter right?

yea they sell adapters on ebay. You may be better off just buying a cheap t3 turbo. Instead using an adapter. Small t3 turbo dont cost much at all

Use the 2g MANIFOLD (not header). Done. Buying a turbo to compliment a manifold is like buing a hooker to compliment a condom.

2g manifold, unless you're changing turbo style, is plenty for most.

Hes got the 420a motor. They pretty much only make t3 manifolds for them

This displayed as a new post, and all I saw was a 2g with a body kit. :) I see it's page 2, now.

THis is just what I bought.

I can just close off the external wastegate.

K here is a noob question. IM having trouble finding the computer. Is it also called a "turbo timer"? Do I need a timer? Cause I bought the FMU and fuel regulater last night. Where is the best place to find and buy a computer?

As the name implies, a "computer" (ECU/ECM) is not a "turbo timer". A turbo timer is a gimmick (flame away those of you who run them). The same results as a TT will provide can be had by driving your last mile or two of a trip without boost, and idling for a minute or so before shutdown.

Can you clarify your question?
