Went to mu uncles junk yard again. He has a 91 eclipse with a full turbo setup? Can I use this on my car?

 

ya, well not the manifold.

 

You can use the turbo and BOV, but that's about it. Maybe the intercooler if you where really desperate.

 

ya see if your uncle has a starion intercooler alot of homemade kits use them.

 

Starion IC's suck ass. 95-99 DSM side-mounts work better, and don't require extensive modification to your car to accommodate its plunderous bulk like the StarQuest IC does. You can find them for $25-$50. Hell, I've got one in my shed that I don't need anymore.

 

There's an adapter plate that you can get that allows you to use a CX exhaust manifold with a TD05H DSM turbo housing. Strangely enough, I have one of those [manifolds] laying around, too.

Do you know what size the can of worms is that you're opening?

 

Is it a bad idea I am doing the mini me swap to?

 

You can use the:
turbo
intercooler
blow off valve

But, like Kai said, that's about it.
Also, check out www.homemadeturbo.com for some info on setups like the one you're thinking of.

Also, first research turbos a lot. And listen to Jafro

:thumbup:

 

I'd get the whole motor if I were you. D15 internals are crap compared to D16 internals. Doing the mini-me swap is 4x as difficult as swapping a motor. It will also cost you less, provided that you have hook-ups like an uncle with a junkyard. The end result is better, too.

You can't re-use a head gasket, and the timing headaches.... easier to just do this stuff out of the car. If you have a complete donor car, there's no reason to mini-me.

 

For a second, I thought you were talking about the Eclipse motor, and I thought that you pushed your Eclipse love a little too far trying to recommend putting a 4G63 into a Civic :rofl:

But yes, I agree, get the whole D16 motor. It will be easier to put in, and you will get more HP and a stronger overall motor. Then boost it
