Is this a 6-bolt swap in my '95?

[soulraver]

Hey guys, i posted a long time ago about having a CAS in my '95 eclipse, but i got swamped with finals to post pictures, I was hoping someone could tell me if this is a 6-bolt swap or is something else going on? Also the CAS is also turned all the way counter-clockwise, I have a bluetooth logger to see timing, how can i use this to determine if the CAS is good, or is there a better way?

Also, I have a small 16g turbo, and there is a pretty bad exhaust leak between the manifold and turbo, and turbo and downpipe causing exhaust to get in the car, do i need to order stock 95 eclipse turbo gaskets, or do i need specific gaskets because it is a 16g turbo??

Do the wires just come out of the housing, or does it have a pigtail on it. With the gasket leak, you need to pull the manifold and see what turbine housing you have as well as what the flange on the manifold looks like.

Well, your intake manifold and throttle body are definitely from a 2g, and after doing a swap I'm not sure why you'd downgrade to a 2g throttle body. Look near your cam gears and see if there is a triangle shaped sensor plugged in. If so, then it's a 7 bolt.

That would only tell you if the head is a 2g or 1g head. It is very common for people to use a 6 bolt bottom end with the 2g head, intake, thermostat housing and water pipe. The only way to know is to look at the oil pan.

Sorry, in searching i got a lot of different information, and a member recommended posting pictures of the engine bay to get advice. It looks like the wires just come out of it. I tried to pull the manifold today but the bolt on the bottom of the manifold for the engine head in the middle is pretty stripped so i will have to try again tomorrow.

As for timing advance, i have noticed when i am in 5th doing 60ish and go WOT, the timing drops to 5.5 and goes back up, in searching i have seen a few people say it should not get below 10, is this true?
And thanks for the feedback everyone

For the block, check the oil pan directly under the crank pulley. If it is humped outwards toward the drivers side it is a 6 bolt. If it dents in toward the Right passenger side it is a 7 bolt.

So after checking the oil pan it is indeed a 7 bolt.. so last question here, would the plug wire order be different for a 7 bolt with the cas i have? I ask because last week i changed the plugs and my roommate threw away the paper i had with the order, so upon searching i found a 95 should have 4123, but my car started having a slight misfire, today i tried 4132 and it feels like its running the same, power feels the same, but i don't hear the misfire anymore? It is important to me as i do emissions on monday and i want to make sure its right.

The plug wire order would be inverted of you had a 6 bolt engine. Therefore, you'd have to invert it to keep the firing order proper. This only gets done on '95-'96 cars due to cam sensor locations.

The plug wire order depends on cam angle sensor and ECU, You have a 95 ECU with a non 95-96 CAS so you would swap the wires.
