Is a 90 Laser Different?

[gsturbo444]

I have been concidering getting a 90 laser RS. My plan was to swap the 6bolt with my 2g seven bolt, as I have begun building my 2g and I could just use the 7bolt rs for a daily driver. However someone brought it to my attention that they heard there is a differance in the 90 laser compared to the later modles and the swap is more difficult to do due to things not going togeather. I did a search and off of the 1000 most frequently asked questions it said:

"The interior, engine, transmission, driveline and all other major components of the Laser are the same as the Eclipse."

I guess I just want to double check and see if anyone else has heard of any problems before I make the commitment to get the laser.

Thanks!

First of all, is it an RS or an RS Turbo?

The 90 has a few minor differences in the ECU, and features an electronic-controlled cruise control. I can't think of any other difference.

throttle body wires, cas wires, power transistor plug, there are some differences, you could prolly make it work if you use these things from the 90

Sorry, it is a RS Turbo...

90 had a worse fuel map and cams (actually I think it was just the intake came. I think).

Also 90's had a different oil cooler than all other years.

Yeah 90 have a air to oil cooler up front by the radiator.

wasn't aware of the cam difference.

yeah the cams are different, however when i swapped my 91 head on i didnt notice any difference

the throttle pos. sensor is the biggest difference, 1990 used a seperate TPS than any other year. Just drop a 91 turbo fwd ECU (i think) there are also a few wires to swap around
