Need Help with turbo

[InvaderZim]

I have a 93 Laser that is a non turbo. I just got a turbo {Garrett T 25 turbo} and i have a header for it and a front mount intercooler. is there any thing i need to do to the motor to match them up good like full or oil pump??

thanx for the help
Zim.

Hmmmm...you'll probably have to buy either BUY a 4G63 turbo engine, or convert your car to a turbo car, which is a real pain. If I were you I'd just sell the car and buy a turbo DSM. If you don't want to do that then be prepared to spend more money than a new turbo car is even worth on upgrading your engine/electronics for turbo use. Good luck.

so far I have about $250 in the turbo, header, down tube , and intercooler. I dont have the intercooler pipes and other things for it . I can get a new head for it that has been ported with over sized valves. from a speed shop here in town for $150.

Converting your car to turbo is insanely expensive and annoying. You'll need a turbo ECU, turbo gauge cluster, and all sorts of misc. turbo parts.

Here's the VFAQ on it:

I recommend you sell the turbo and maybe the exhaust manifold, and buy a turbo 1G to put your FMIC on. A T-25 is the small hairdryer turbo that came on the 2Gs. A stock 1G turbo will produce more power, be more reliable, cost you less, and be less of a PITA.
