If money's no object then why do you want the cheapest solution?

Swapping a turbo engine into your car will be too much money and too many headaches... you should either rebuild and turbo the engine you have (~$4,000+, depending on your mechanical prowess) or just buy a car with a factory installed turbo (~5,000+, depending where you look to buy the car).

if i had a dime........... nevermind. i agree with velocita. however this swap had been done. it would cost you more to do the swap then it would to buy a turbo fwd 2g. if money is no object put a 2jz in it or something. maybe a twin turbo v8. :thumb: good luck dude
 
Contact Hahn Racecraft and tell them "money is no object," but that you want value and power. They will have a lot of neat stuff to tell you about. They're a trusted vendor and can help imensely.
 
Money no object?? Buy an already turboed car and leave the N/T's to those who take care of them

i agree tell Brad at hahns sales line that you have a NT 420a eclipse and that you want to turbo. then tell him what stage

1-5

1 being turbo no intercooler stock internals good for about 4 psi (estimate)
2 intercooler stock internals 8psi
then get new pistons, rods, rings, retainers, valve springs, cams, clutch, cat, exhaust etc
basically build your now non turbo engine so that it will handle the pressure of even more boost

4.portfueler time 8 injector set up more fuel, more psi
5... larger turbo and larger injectors on the secondary rail.

all together cost about 6-7K minus labor for installation, milling, etc
