keepin' it in the family

My dad just bought my sister a black 1993 Eagle Talon ESi with 130,000 miles on it. Great condition with a while hood , new tires, and a nice locked up engine for $150 bucks. (ill get some pics up later) My question here is when we go to pull the engine out and rebuild, being that its the 4g63 N/T motor, can I get a 2g turbo manifold and a 14b or T25 and put it on there w/ no problems? If so what all would be needed to do this. I dont think Ill be running an IC either. Just give me a rundown on what all would be needed just to make it turbo no high boost or anything. Thanks.

turbo..... no intercooler...... high compresion...... not good i dont believe

you can do it, but it won't be the easiest thing to do. One problem with the N/A 4g63 blocks is they lack some oil lines the turbos have. If you're going to do it, I'd recommend lowering the compression, though you can still do it with the higher compression, you'll have to run lower boost and be more careful.

Sure you can turbo it with some custom work. Im positive there must be multiples threads in the N/T forum on it. Yes, like the person said you need oil and water lines to the turbo to cool it. Also, if you run no intercooler your boost level will be low because your are just forcing a whole lot real hot air into the engine. I am not sure the compression on a N/T motor but it should be higher then that of the turbo so that also is going to limit boost. It can be done.. just be real careful as without tuning it and watching it real carefully you will blow that engine. Sure a honduh can do it as any other car out there without an intercooler but they wont be running much boost.. and why you would want to run without an intercooler is beyond me.

I just wanted to do something simple to it but I forgot about the oil and water. I probb wont be doing it. Im planning on using it for my daily driver for college because i dont want to take the tsi there. Thanx for the help guys.

Why not just swap to 4g63t?
