My first dsm was a forest green 1992 Eclipse witha n/a 4g63. I loved that car. It was a beater and I beat it. I always wondered if I had htat car now what I could do with it.
I could do a turbo swap to it, Likely I would have kept he stock pistons and just put the turbo ecu, injectors, and turbo into it. Along with the maf, fuel pump, knock sensor, upper IC pipe, bypassvalve and pipe, stock intercooler, lower intercooler pipe, jpipe, turbo intake pipe, o2 housing, down pipe, stock boost controller, Turbo oil pan, hard to find 14b/16g drain line, feed line, turbo water pipe with turbo water lines. . .whew! That adds up. . .
I'm betting I could do an n/t buildup for LESS money and make the same power. Of course I'll have to be able to hoist a motor for this goal. But if you can pull a head you can hoist a motor. . .
It will be really filling my time but I plan on selling the car so the wifey isn't too upset about it
So, for hours I'm taking a break from my twinscroll hx40 build, I'm going to do what I always had wanted to do with my first dsm, make some good old fashioned all motor power. Compression, displacement, flow, tuning. Same applies for turbo, just things are done a little differently to do that.
Here's the car I got for litterally free. The guy even paid the tow truck driver to put it at my house. 1991 N/t 4g63 Plymouth Laser. With no radio. It has a clean interior and no rust with kyb struts all around. . .
The rest of the progress will be blogs in this catagory: All motor w/ same Power AND Cost as a Turbo Swap.. Link at the bottem of the blog before the comments.
Bottem line, it takes about $650-700 (see second paragraph) to get all the used parts to swap in the turbo to an n/a 4g63 car and tie in the exhaust to the o2 housing. . . Can I stay in that budget and net similar 0-60 times, 70-90 times, dyno numbers, basically have an all motor engine bay that performs like a turbo model for the same cost.
One advantage is N/A Brake Specific Fuel Consumption. . . It is about half that of turbo motors because the loses the turbo poses. that means stock 240cc injectors are as good as 450cc turbo injectors if you just keep the turbo out of the picture .
