Instead of buying one of those greddy kits that are overpriced, you can build your own!!! Get a DSM turbo and some other things and you can build your own for about 1500 or so...the largest amount of that is going towards engine management (zdyne, etc). Plus I think it's more fun doing it this way.

 

oh, sounds like a good idea, and fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's alot of fun and you learn more about the turbo...atleast I did!!!!! :thumbup:

 

Basically the 1st gen eclipse turbo is perfect for stock internaled zc. There is only 4 holes you have to drill out on the manifold and it bolts RIGHT up to the zc! Then run just a lil bit of fuel upgrades and a boost controller and you are set! My local junkyard has the entire eclipse turbo kit for 250, then some drilling, 250 bucks for a boost controller, then fuel pressure regulator and maybe some injectors and a new fuel pump you are looking at 750-1000 for a nice adjustable but regularly stock 6 psi turbo!

 

You can buy an adapter plate....I know a couple guys that make them from other boards...they'll sell them for like 80-100. Then you don't have to drill out the manifold!!! Just buy a HF or a CX manifold

 

anyone know the torque rating on a ZC?

 

Yeah, it's ~110 lbs/ft
