ok before i start asking questions.. just to let u know its my first time posting here and it is also my first time turbocharging. I own a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse GS (engine JUST rebuilt). and i won an auction on ebay for a t3/t4 custom kit. here is a link and tell me what u think
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8037608920&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
all i know is that im missing a walbro fuel pump and a missing link.. did i forget anything else?
Ive been researching topics about installation of turbo since i dont have any money for a mechanic to install for me. but didnt find as much except for the one that teaches you how to install turbo for under $1000 which everyone already seen. does anyone have any useful links that will help me figure out where everything goes exactly? One more thing.. im going to be installing this in my school's auto shop and will only have about 2 hours of work time every day.. teacher said i could leave it in the shop until im done working but i don't wanna cabby back home every single day lol.. so was wondering what steps i should take in installation.. i hear u can install ur walbro and vortech fmu before and everything will run fine
i need all the help i can get
thx

thx for not being a total ass eclipse982nrRST
and i already used the search button but i guess i didnt search well enough..
thank you and all the other for the info
here is one part i didnt get completely "however your going to need an oil feedline for your turbo and your going to have to make an adapter to work with your oil pressure switch on the back of the block for the feedline."
for the oil feed line should i just go and order a oil line kit for a t3/t4? and i have no idea what the adapter is? where can i get all the parts needed from?
now if your going to bitch at me then its ok ill just ask my teacher but the only reason im here is because all u guys have way more experience when it comes to turbocharging the 420a. by the way i didnt rebuild my actual engine because i totally blew it up.. abused it way to much.. my crankshaft broke.. pistons went flying around and made holes in the block and one decided to go to my oil pan which also made a hole..a different engine was bought and rebuilt hopefully engine will be done installing in 1-2 days but im going to wait till summer till i can afford to buy a bottom and top end rebuild kits.

Welcome to www.2gnt.com This is the only link your will need to install your turbo kit. You will have to do some searching when you get stuck instead of just asking the question right out. This kit belongs to a member on here (midnightil6). It was advertised in the f/s wanted section.

You will need a few more things to finish the install on this kit. You need a boost gauge and an air fuel gauge. This kit comes with some pretty nice pieces but you are going to need to do quite a bit of fab work. You are also going to need some couplers and clamps for the IC piping

This is the way I would go about doing it since you have limited time to work on the car and you ARE daily driven(personally I would buy a beater to drive around because turbo 420a'a make bad daily drivers).

1. Install all your fuel system. There is directions on the main page in the MOD section.

2. Install all your gauges. Or at least run all your lines to make the boost/egt gauge easier to hook up.

3. Tap your oil pan for the turbo return line and put it back on and put a plug in the hole.

4. Mock up your intercooler piping/downpipe. This one will take some time. It is what I did with my custom kit. Since the piping is not pre made to fit your car, you are going to have to make custom make it. Take your stock exhaust mani off your car and put your turbo mani/turbo on your car and cut and weld your piping together. When your done just bolt all your stock stuff back on and drive home.

After all this is completed you should have a lot of bugs worked out and it should make things a little easier to install. I reccommend a three day weekend to do the install because that extra day of work will come in handy.

Be prepared to run to the parts store a thousand times, you will find you need certain parts/tools you never took into account.

Another question I have for you is what kind of rebuild did you do? Stock? Forged? What comp pistons?

You will be upgrading parts until you die. I just tried to explain things as simple as possible. Someone else please add/correct what I've told him at any time.

Looks pretty good but lets not forget the new gaskets you will need an exhaust manifold gasket and a turbo gasket to go between the downpipe and turbo, also the intercooler piping looks like new pipes that were purchased and your gonna need to cut and fab them to fit, you will also need good quality silicone cuplers and elbows which i dont remember seeing and am to lazy to look again. any way good luck, keep your boost under 8psi (if you value your car) and most important post pictures of your set up when you are done and boostin away

but yea thx.. ill be giving them a call when i get my car back from the shop (getting new engine)

I only use a exhaust manifold gasket. I have never used a downpipe to turbo gasket before and I have been turbo'd for roughly 3 years now.

Chronic, if you want me to build you the oil pressure adapter and get you a nice stainless braided hose kit, PM me.

ok everyone.. so eclipseRST has decided to help me out by making me a oil line kit and finding me an exhaust flange.. other than that ill be missing a walbro fuel pump and a missing link.. anything else i might need? oh and here's the link to the picture and info on the kit if you havent seen already:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8037608920&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
midnitetill6 tells me it comes with 1 gauge "Autometer EGT Gauge and K-type EGT Probe" what other 2 guages should i get? boost and oil pressure? and by the way what is the k-type egt probe for?

Hey.. I was bidding on that kit too... I put my bid in a couple days before, but was being a little too conservative on my bid since I was taking into consideration the customs and duties to bring it into Canada... anyways enjoy the kit...

LOL so ur one of the people that made the price go up for no reason!
hehe just kidding man.. but to let you know i woulda bought it for any price really cause i wanted it so badly and by the way i still didnt even pay for the item yet.. i will be paying tomorrow or the day after so we'll see what happens

question for u guys.. i was thinking of doing up the whole fuel system a week before i start installing the turbo. my question is if i install my fuel rail, fuel lines, sfmu, walbro, etc. would it screw up anything? or would it work fine without the turbo.i already know you can install the fuel pump but what about the fuel rail? gauges too maybe? you see the thing is im using my school's car lift and teacher says i can't have the car on the lift for the whole installation of the kit cause that would take about 2 weeks since i am going to take my time and installin everything to perfection. also there is no way i can get the car onto the lift without driving it over the steep ramps we have.

fool around with fmu as in do what exactly? sorry im a complete BANME!.. please use some dumb BANME! terms when explaining

Well, it doesn't help that you have no fucking clue what your up against. You have to adjust you FUEL PRESSURE for idle, Static and WOT.

If You think your the first one to type that on this forum you've got another thing coming. We know about little shits like you No seriousley. I am not an asshole I can just sense exploding motors when someone with your mechanical aptitude comes on here and types what I quoted above

Oh man, we are going to see a shitload of questions, problems, and who knows what else reeeeeeal soon im guessing blaire!

Werd to mah homie EDIT:: Any question you come on here and post about with the slightest bit of intelect behind it will be answered fairly quickly. Sometimes within minutes. There are a lot of smart people on this forum and you come on saying "is this a good kit what do I need to do? OMG I want a loud BOV". That, in our heads sounds like this. I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, I have no idea about anything to do with a motor internally and couldn't tell you the difference between a catalytic converter and a flex section. But I want a turbo.

good to hear that
i guess both of you are right..only reason im sick of the search button is because it doesn't give me the exact topic im looking for. i had to go over 15-18 posts not to mention trying different search words to find what i wanted to know.. but yea i guess it was worth it.. my bad. and yes eclipserst i really appreciate all the help with the parts you are making me.. hope we can get along better and yes i will search more before i ask questions but when it comes down to it, and i dont find what im lookin for ill post here.

well.. i read around for installation of fuel lines so just let me summarize what i know and you tell me if im right.. im getting 20 ft of 6an fuel line with my kit.. if you havent seen it its still on ebay but has been bought by me. oh yeah and it also includes a little line which is about 2ft long? not sure.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8037608920&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
so for the fuel setup heres what i know, feed line from pump goes to the stock fuel filter which im gona block the fpr with a bolt of sum sort? then goes to the port on the new fuel rail which comes with the kit but is it the port closest to the drivers side? then off the other side side to a fuel pressure gauge which i dont have and not sure wether or not it comes with the kit but he says it comes with a "fuel pressure guage adapter".. anyways i think i should ask him.. but yea then goes to the side port of vortech sfmu which im installing where the windshield water thingy is, then a return line which goes from the bottom port of sfmu back to the return of fuel pump. is this all right? please tell me if im missing anything. and since im getting 20 ft of line will that be enough for the whole setup? cause the mods on 2gnt say im gona need a little more than that so i wasnt sure.

I have a 95' so I'm not used to the sfmu setup on later models but that sounds right.

I believe you have a fitting for the screader valve on the fuel rail to hookup a fuel gauge.
