About aftermarket turbo

[StreetEclipse96]

I've decided that I want to use a Hahn Stage II turbo kit on my 96 Eclipse GS. The only question I have is about the aftermarket parts. I notice they sell parts for turbo and N/T. So, will I have to buy turbo headers, exhaust, and etc? If I do, can I use them with the N/T setup I have now?

The only real part of the exhaust that you can use on you N/A engine and a turbo engine will be from the cat back. A downpipe and turbo header/manifold you cannot use with N/A, unless you make up a short piece of pipe with a turbo flange to go inbetween the header/manifold and the downpipe, but i wouldn't bother with that. If your planning on a conversion from N/A to forced induction, buy the parts and when you get them all, then throw them all on. However isn't the enigne internals different from N/A to forced induction in these engines??

They're completely different engines. The ones that come with stock turbo use a 4G63, then there are the ones like mine that are N/T that come with the 420A. I'm going for a Hahn Racecraft turbo, so I was wondering about my N/T Kamikaze Headers working with my soon to be turbo setup, or do I need to buy new headers? What about an AEM cold-air intake.

A N/A header and a turbo header are completely different designs you can't use a N/A header with a turbo, you will need a new turbo header. I doubt the air intake would work, or at least work while in the stock location it's in now, but you might be able to modify it to connect to the inlet part of the compressor housing.

I don't know how you guys can remember all those engine codes.

yeah, you will need new headers. They are way different then N/A headers. Get some nice Greddy or DC turbo headers...

That helps a lot. I'll have to just get the turbo setup and go from there.
