putting a turbo in a 93 eclipse gs
i just recently bought my eclipse and im interested in putting a turbo in it. im kinda new so could any body tell me what exactly i would need, to do this without messing up my car. Like what parts would i need etc, or would putting a turbo be stupid.

hey there is more to it than throwing a turbo up in there, the stock non turbo engine cant handle boost so the only thing you could do is put a turbo engine/transmission/wireharness/ecu in it and its not worth the hassle IMO. my friend put a turbo on his non turbo and it straight blew the fuck up lol. here is a link to let you know what you can do for more power in the non turbo. 
good luck to ya

Originally naturally aspirated Eclipses are not the most reliable cars to begin with. Putting a turbo isn't going to help the reliablity, or lack thereof. Don't get me wrong; props if you get it hooked up and running. It just won't be a very good daily driver. Good luck though if you do decide to go for it.

Easiest way: sell it and buy a turbo model
Other way:
1g 2.0L DSM Non-Turbo to Turbo Conversion
Other way:
(this should discourage you from attempting it)

If you care to open up the block just put turbo pistons in it.
If not just keep the boost low, treat it like a boosted honda.
It is the exact same block as the turbo model. The oil squirters can be put in if you care to have them. The crank and rods are identical. Head is the same, cams are a tad different in some models.
I am using a n/a block in my car now. I choose not to add the oil squirters, less rotating mass at high revs. Also was looking for better oil pressure.

so if i take my oil squirters out of my 4g63 i would have less rotating mass even though my oil squirters are mounted in my block?
