I currently have a 1990 GS Eclipse FWD, 2.0L 4g63 engine 5 speed. Im thinking about buying a 4g63 Turbo engine and prolly having it put in. What is needed other the the engine to successfully do this and where would I get the parts (List sites please??) ?
 
I can undestand your position. Honestly you may want to consider looking for a 90gst. Not to shoot you down or anything but here is the situation.

What you will need for the swap depends very much on what is included in the engine that you purchase. Hopefully the ecu is included along with all sensors. (For good used jdm engines check out totaljdm.com)

Even the most complete packages will leave you without a powerful enough fuel pump, intercooler and pipes, transmission/clutch, exhaust. These things are terribly expensive and you may run into problems. If you are doing the work yourself it would cost way more than finding a good 90gst.

If you choose to do the swap anyway, best of luck to you. :)
