turboing a NT eclipse.... NOT so easy.

[91 Eclipse]

well before all you new people to DSMs that want to turbo you eclipse etc. there a few thins you need to know. well first heres a list of the things you need.
1. Turbo
2. Intercooler w/piping
3. i would recommened a turbo MAS
4. Turbo ECU
5. A/F gauge and Boost gauge
6. resistor pack to be able to run your 450cc injectors. now a reminder, you will need to wire this in yourselves. GET a wiring diagram.
7. 450cc injectors
8. preferably a bigger exhaust
9. turbo TB
10. the elbow for the TB
11. a turbo vaccum solenoid that does on your firewall
12. a MBC so you dont blow your engine

It took me a good 2-3 months to get my car running back up to par so it didnt run rich as hell. now the resistor pack im talking about is a silver box mounted on the fire wall of a turbo eclipse. and the colenoid is the acuator for the cruise control. when i had my NT solenoid on my throttle would stick and now that i changed it, it dosent stick. so for everybody whos wants you turbo eclipse SO bad. be prepared to spend around 500 on turbo and intercooler, 100 on ECU, 100 on injectors, and 50 or so dollars on the resistor pack and solenoid. and around anothr 50 for the Turbo MAS.

First off specify that your talking about a 1g. Sencond an a/f guage is worthless unless its a wideband. You dont need a turbo tb, I'm running a 1g n/t tb on my talon. WTF is a turbo vacuum solenoid?

[Thor06]

Not having an MBC wont blow your engine, it will just run on the wastegate spring pressure.

[91 Eclipse]

the AF gauge helped me out a ton. the vaccum solenoid is the litle black solenoid on your firewall right behind the intake manifold. it should have 2 vaccum lines going into it. I am talking about a 1g so thats the reason you might not need it. you must be running hard pipes for them to meet up with you NT TB then. I am talking about going to a STOCK NT to a STOCK turbo besides exhaust. I went 3" in that case.

[91 Eclipse]

yeah but when i put the turbo on i was running at 15 psi. i had my friend make me a 10 psi spring for me

[blk_srt]

IIRC a 14b running on wastegae alone will boost 11psi but I could be wrong. The problem with a/f gauges is they rear a narrow band so it isnt very accurate infact is really just an expensive light show.

[91 Eclipse]

lol yeah its a cool light show though.... it did help me out to get into a certain range though.

[Blackcrow64]

I wasn't running a MBC on my car and it was only making like 13psi, and I will be running a N/T TB on my new motor without that little elbow off of it... So those things wouldn't really be needed for converting a n/t to a turbo...

A few things you did forget though is:
BOV
Oil and/or coolant lines for the turbo
Exhaust manifold with proper turbo flange

[gthompson97]

Thats a very very vague list and I wouldn't consider that one bit if I was turboing a 1g. There are 1000's of them that are way more informative on Tuners and all over the web. I could have found a list like that in the FAQ section. Not trying to bash you, but it's not even half as informative as you think it is. If you don't know the main parts you need for a turbo, you shouldn't be doing it anyways.
