I've wanted to turbo my car for a long time and with the job I have now I finally have the money. So far i've bought a Garett T-25 turbo with the exhaust housing and everything, a 2nd gen SMIC, and I ordered a NOPI rs blow-off valve (Greddy knockoff) from a local shop. I also have a Cartech 12:1 FMU and a Turbonetics mbc coming soon. That means all I have left to get is the exhaust manifold, a Walbro 255lph fuel pump, a fuel cut deffender, a T3 flange to T25 adapter plate (as you know, all the manifolds on ebay are T3 flanged), make all of the intercooler piping, make a downpipe, and get a boost and a/f ratio gauge (i'm probably forgeting some small stuff). Here's the twist, before anyone trys to explain that the T25 turbo's that came on 2nd gen DSM's have a Mitsubishi flange, I'm not using a T25 from a DSM. I'm using a T25 off of my friend's sr20det swapped Nissan 240sx. I plan on running 7psi on the stock injectors. If anyone has any advice or input let me know. Also, if anyone knows where I can get a fuel cut deffender, let me know because i'm going to be looking soon.

what year/model?

'97 Eclipse RS.

contact mike here on the forum, he makes electronic FCDs. very good quality, have one myself. ditch the craptech fmu, get a vortech FMU or better yet...an SFMU. what would probably be better with the IC set up is to get an intercooler off ebay and a universal pipe kit. might end up costing around the same as fabbing up all the pipes unless your doing that yourself. there's a write up in the WIKI on ebay IC set ups.

edit: oh yea, get a wideband...otherwise youll just waste your money now cause you WILL want one in the future. I have the zeitronix wideband and LCD display. i have it set up for 02, egt and boost. its a great investment!

Oh, btw theres a SFMU for sale in the for sale section and i have one as well...however mine has a problem with it, shouldnt be a whole lot to fix though if your interested.

I am the one with the sfmu for sale.
