1G turbo swap into 2G

[metalli-chris]

I may have found a 91 laser with a bad head for cheap. I have a 97 eclipse with the stock T-25. I was thinking about swapping the 14B from the 1G into my 2G. need to know a few things:

1)is it possible? any problems involved?

2)what extra parts will i need? install kits, new exhaust manifold?

3)can i use the equipment from the laser for the install?

4)does anyone have a install sequence for this/who can help me figure it out? RRE? Buschur?

Shouldn't be a problem, I just did it on mine 1 month ago.

All you will need are a few gaskets and some piping.

Maybe this will help.

thanks, i actually found an install kit from RRE. yeah the 14B and 16G are similar to each other and to the garrett on the 2G. all i need is basically gaskets, new oil and water lines and a length of pipe to match it to the stock intercooler line.
now i have to see whether the guy will let go the laser for a decent price.

does anyone know why a 1G throttle body would be better than a 2G. they are larger right?

any other parts i could take off the 1G?

The 2g throttle body is 52mm radius and the 1g is 60mm, making it much larger, more air flow will flow by faster, less lag, more power.
