1G 4G37 1.8 to 4G63 Turbo Swap

[EclipseStud]

I've had a 94 Eclipse with the 1.8L for about 6 months and determined that I want to upgrade to the 4G63 Turbo. I found an engine but haven't bought it yet wondering what kind of things I need to do to make it work. Also I was wondering if I could keep the standard transmission that came with the 1.8L. Thanks in advance for the help.

Some owners might think that performing an engine "swap" rather than a "conversion" would make things easier. This is not so. The engine control units (ECUs) for the NT and T engines are different, as are the engine/ECU wiring harnesses. Therefore, to properly swap in a turbo engine into a non-turbo chassis, the ECU and wiring harness must be replaced with the turbo versions.

Additionally, an engine swap by itself is no trivial task, especially if the replacement engine requires work prior to installation. The FWD and AWD flywheels are different, and there may be other differences that prevent a turbo motor from matching up to a non-turbo chassis or driveline. While it is theoretically possible, most people would not find it worth the effort.
