engine swap from 1g laser turbo to 1g eclipse n/t

[mdgoodrich]

I wondered if anyone could give me some information.
I can get a hold of a 1G Laser turbo car for $400. Since i would have most all the parts already would it be hard or possible to put that engine in a 93 Eclipse gs

thanks

Why don't you try and read a few threads up? It has #@%#@%#@%#@% about turboing your 4g63 NT. Can you do it? Probably not if you have to ask this. Sorry to say but this has been asked a million and a half times.

It is hard and possible. But you need to transfer just about everything from the laser to the eclipse. Everything should fit good if the eclipse had a 2.0 in it. If that laser has everything and is in good working order except for the body than I would seriously consider doing that. $400 is alot cheaper than to turbo your existing engine.

go buy two engine stands..
and rebuild both motors into one and use all the better lookin parts.. but you must use the rings from the turbo and all other turbo parts etc.

no use new piston rings but you have to use the turbo pistons and everything else

the turbo engine has around 200k miles on it so ill probably need to rebuild it. can someone give me some tips on what parts i should buy that would allow me to upgrade the turbo and get more horses

thanks

Ouch, you are in for one hell of an adventure... unless you are a skilled mechanic, you are headed for heartbreak...

I hate that. My car works just fine its just missing a few things. Besides, I like the challenge. And the cheaper insurance.
