Put it on ebay, and buy stuff that fits?

well dino is right halfway. you can go ahead and sell the manifold cause.......it don'st bolt on our cars. A little research and you would have found that out.

you CAN use the turbo though, whilst small, will still give you boost.



so all in all....you need a 420a manifold dum dum.

I think that it would be easier to install a pen in your own neck.

You just spent $250 on a 14B. Congratulations. :thumbsup

Everything else will either not work, or need some serious modification.

Did you even bother to open the hood on your car and notice that your engine is not the same as that from a 1st gen eclipse? There is nothing from a 1st gen that will fit besides the turbo, and that you have to make major mods to get it to shoehorn in there, even then it a poor fit. Bottom line>>>If you want a turbo, get a kit that is known to work. Hahn and Starr are your only choices.

C'mon guys. No need to be dicks to the new guys right off the bat. Sure, be sarcastic and biting, but Dino did the guy right. Bad news is he just blew $250 on scrap metal. Good news is, he found 2GNT and is now in a position to learn how to do it up right and really make a fast car. :thumbsup

Sorry dude. I was in a bad mood, this sort of post has been beat to death with a huge f%#king stick, try the search you will get more answers from it than from posting the question.

True it makes you mad to see new people post stuff...but I can speak from the NOOOB NEWB OR NEEEEOOOBY as you guys like to speak so lowly of, but when you dont know things and you want to know answers fast you tend to get excited and dont even think to search...so yeah, I wish some people would be a little nicer sometimes...RxR dont sweat it you've been more than helpful and patient with me...mad props...Points to you...I have 2 for a reason I guess

Well, RxR apologized. I guess that's my cue to speak a few words.

I do come off as brash and biting. Then again, I'm an asshole. To quote Lewis Black, I'd apologize, but I don't give a fuck.

All I can say is that what I type is heavily censored. I try to not come across as too much of an ass. In fact, I don't believe that I even mentioned any of the following: Stupid, Cumbubble, Dipshit, Load-That-Should-Have-Been-Swallowed, Search, Knob, or Newb.

I think I was informative without being overly assholish, and that's the closest to nice that anybody will get out of me. ;)

Ok...so you looked under the hood, how does this look the same compared to the second picture. I have both cars and nothing is even close :rolleyes
