You can turbo anything with the time and money and patience my friend turbo his accord a lot of snags and problems but got through it and it runs really good for how long who knows since n/t internals are different then the turbo blocks but I bet it will be fun. good luck on your build

You have to do a lot of things, you should read all the info in the links that JusMX141 posted. To do it properly you will have to rebuild your engine with parts that can handle a turbo. Read the links and you will have the information you need to decide if its something that you would like to do.

You should go back and read post #2 again.

That will have all the info, part names and numbers, build combs, how to start.

Yes... Research ALOT! Lol

You can put a turbo on anything; heck just the other day, I put one on a wooden shelf.

To prepare I like to clear a space on said shelf.

Afterward, I like to make sure the turbo won't fall off said shelf.

^ too funny

 

[StarFawkes]

I like that OPs car is listed as GSX, the title says GS, and the actual model in question is the RS.

.

I like how colt comes in like "why so serious" and nails the thread. Epic.

Takes alot of fab work to turbo a wood shelf. Better off to get a shelf that came with a turbo from the factory.

 

[SICK SOCIETY DSM90]

How much psi you running on your shelf turbo . any plans of taking it down the track you guys are to funny today

 

[bigbird94]

To the op, it sounds like you may not be ready tp take on a project like this. You can buy an awd turbo 1g (yes, the whole car) for less than it will cost to turbo your rs. Think about it.

 

[jayson427]

And bigbird is totally right. To do it 100% right so you have some longevity it will cost 5-10k easy! Closer to 10k if you get quality parts ask me how I know Lol

 

[bigbird94]

It is borderline irresponsible to reccomend a member that clearly doesn't know much about cars to turbo his n/t eclipse. Tell him its easy so he can spend all his money on a turbo kit just to blow it up, sell it, and complain about it on the interwebs.

Nice to see not everyone uses the forums as a chat room.

He's 100% right the amount of money you will spend to put a turbo in your car is a waste of money. If you want to boost out then best bet is selling ## RS and getting a GSX GST or Talon TSi or TSi AWD. Because I doubt you'd be able to modify the tranny and engine mounts attached to the engine bay to fit the 4g63T... Correctly and safely.

Yeah well, stupid question, stupid answer. I don't come on here asking if I can transplant a lung. "I'm an auto mechanic Jim, not a doctor!"

Ohhhhkay enough fun for one day.
