Good news = Got a turbo for only $40 (what you see in the pictures)
Bad News = it's a 4g63 engine turbo from an older Eclipse

I really don't wanna spend over $1000 to install and custom do this - if i can find a place who will do it for under that- i will install it in the car - if i can't find it cheaper than that - i will sell it on ebay. any advice? suggestions? umm, ANYTHING to tell me, cause i want more power in my lancer - i wanna take advantage of this great price. Don't flame me and tell me to search - cause i'm a super newb when it comes to Engines and all that stuff i found was kinda bogus -talk to me - i need sh*t broken down.

 

you definitely can do something with that. you just gotta keep collecting pieces because you need more stuff.. Like piping, fan ect; ask one of the engine gurus around here what else you'd need. good start in the right direction!

 

its not just installing it chris... do a lot of research and go on sclc.net and look at what u need tobuy.

 

well.. ill just be straight off so that you wont waste your time.. why did you buy the turbo if your budget is only $1000.. everybody knows that havin a turbo will be expensive.. all the other major pieces will defenitely not be below $150 ... but if you wanna save money and still continue this project, you can do it slowly or little by little, just like what they said, collect the pieces one by one if you want.. but then again, maintaining a turbocharged car can be expensive too... peace!

 

you still need a lot of ****, and i lot of knowledge

 

Yah, if you want to go custom, you either need alot of money, or hookup, or basically use your brain to make it. If you have money, you can have it custom or buy one where R&D is already done for you. If you got hookup, it's easier since you don't need labor $$ and maybe you can get cheap parts. Or you can use your brain and around 2grand to get a custom kit done.

Now for the maintenance, you got to keep your turbo/engine in top working order or you'll spend money later in the process which would equal the amount when you buy a plug and play.

ALL IN ALL USE YOUR BRAIN IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY

 

All I can tell you is the additional parts you will probably need:

manifold
downpipe
oil lines
fittings
gaskets
wastegate
piping + clamps
intercooler
fuel pump
fmu


Hope this helps

 

good deal on the turbo so its a good start. if you can get more buys like that it might not run you too much (of course it'll still be no less than 1 g). But as long as you (or someone helping you) knows what theyre doing, you can get it cheap, and keep it maintained. everyone that I've seen on here that went custom all have usually paid less than a kit.

 

yeah, i dont have much money - so i doubt i will be doing this. it seems like a year long project- or less, and i'm already actually looking into getting a 2001 audi a4. thats obviously a 1.8t already stock, with a bout 170HP, and if my parents bless w/ me a bigger buget- maybe i'll roll in with a 2001 Audi S4, which pushes 250HP / 6-speed manual/awd. id love that. i might sell this turbo between now and december? any offers? lol.

 

40 bucks, you could prob turn that around for alot more if you wanted bro

 

whats the point of buying such an expensive car... just enjoy the one u have and save. guess its just me thinkin of my future.

 

imagine your car hearing you say that.

disloyal and unfaithful??

mike

 

but then again if the car comes stock with a turbo, it will overall be much cheaper and easier to maintain. if thats what he wants, he can get that.

 

if u cant afford to buy some turbo parts? why a new car? all im sayin... the cars nice chris, just keep it clean and be happy having money and a life.

 

lol chris dont sell that for 40$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on ebay thats an easy 200-600$
can you say rims??... aheemm aheemmmm LOLOL. you can get your self a nice show mod with that $.

or Or a Used cat back from an evoM member.. along w/ an ebay intake under the hood... ='s more power then what you had.
