Hey guys I am going to be going with this turbo in about 2 months. I already have the FP race manifold and tial 44mm wastegate for it.
I was just wondering if you guys think it would bolt up just like this? I think this is a 2G eclipse which has the same engine as the Evo 3.

 

wow very clean engine bay

 

Everything should be the same. I can't think of any major difference that would cause a problem in fitting it.

 

Nice! Can't wait to get it.

 

The Evo has less space between the turbo and the radiator, but based on how FP has the wastegate angled to the side, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, the engine bay is narower so you wil have to use a shorter filter if you are using the FP intake.

 

Yeh I know for sure between the turbo and radiator will clear, but it's just where the top of the wastegate sits what I wasn't sure about.

 

I have evo 1. That turbo doesnt fit if you want to retain a radiator fan. I even use slimmer evo 8 fan. still wouldnt fit. I have a nice 3071 turbo kit with FP manifold 40mm tial , ceramic coated. just removed from evo1 so I could use evo 10 TS turbo setup on my car. It was a lot of work to make 3071 fit. it uses smaller E cover. getting S cover in there is gonna be tough. dont think it can be done with fan. I even moved radiotor off center to give more clearance between fan and turbo. In short these cars sucky for engine compartment space.

 

I wasn't planning on keeping the big fan, I have a 14" slim fan.
Do you think I will be able to clear?
