have a quick question...i have an 03 evo 8 and my dad has an old school dsm (1990 eagle talon) he has a gt35r set up...he recently got into a car accident at the dragstrip and he hasnt really drove the car after that...the car wasnt totled or anything just got hit on the right front side of the car but i think it just scared the sh** out of him..bcz it was his first real crash in like 40 yrs i was wondering what i had to do to swap the turbo to my car?? bcz the turbo is on the other side i have no idea if you can just swap it or what has to be done to throw it on my car??? thanxz for the help guys

 

BUPITY...no one can help me ???

 

you should take the turbo off and give it to me...



but seriously... and not to be rude. if you dont know aht is required for the turbo then you really shouldnt be messing with stuff like that. just add the basic bolt ons and use your stock turbo until you learn more about the setup you want to add. now im guess by your post that your pretty new to the car and modding it. but i might be wrong. if so sorry for the quick judge.

but yeah anyway. i wouldnt mess with stuff like a turbo upgrade 9=(esspecially a big 35r setup), unless you really know what your doing and are ready to experience the full project.

also im saying this, just cause i recently did a 50 trim setup on my evo, and even though ive done a good number of turbo kits on other cars and dsms, it still took me 2 weeks and a lot of extra cash to get everything i needed done right.

welp yeah. just my 2cents. take it or leave it.

 

yea thanxz for the tip but ive reaserched alot on here and ive never read about this...but yea im pretty sure im going to have to get alot more upgrades than what i have now...right now i have 3" tbe, upper and lower intercooler pipeing, short ram, MBC, Bov, o2 housing, reflashed, and thats about it for right now...getting my 272's next weeks..cant wait...

 

well i wasnt talking about extra mods needed... i was just refering to whats needed to complete the turbo kit. like all your exhaust work, hoses, oil lines, fitting, etc etc. the kit i did was a completely custom made kit i did myself. so it took a while and was a pain.

if the turbo was a direct bolt on turbo, then it would be cake. just swap it out and dont overboost until you get some headstuds , fuel, and a new gasket.

however a 1st gen dsm turbo wont bolt right up to the evo, therefore custom stuff is needed. btw heres a pic of my car and my kit. just so you know im not full of crap.

 

Painting your fuse box blue qualifies you?

^Lol

hahahaha

 

bump...anyone else any input???

 

$175 for another exhaust housing from Precision to bolt it to an Evo 8 and up style T3 manifold.

 

Yup, first thing is to find out what turbine housing is on there. Could be t3 or the bolt on dsm housing. Tho a 35r with the bolt on housing isn't a great combo for that large a turbo. It is possible. Is there an external wastegate on your dads car?

 

^ have you seen a 35R with an internal wastegate?

Scorke

 

I have

 

Yup, I had one on my 2G Eclipse. It was a bolt on turbine housing from PTE. GT35RLS-M or something. Not an ideal setup, but it worked ok...
