So i snagged me a free turbo from a 2nd gen eclipse complete with downpipe and exhaust manifold. What are the possibilities of getting this turbo on a 93 b18a1? Do i need a custom made manifold or could i use one of the turbo manifolds already on the market for integras?
anyone? are there any alternative possibilities to mounting a turbo to an exhaust manifold? maybe having a small pipe branch out from the exhaust pipe near the manifold to feed the turbo? keep in mind it’s a very small turbo an i’m only looking for a very minimal boost in HP so i want to keep the turbo at 3-5 psi.

why dont ya read the turbo guide and learn for yourself, it explains everything in great detail
goddamnit teggy, please stop replying in my threads. that article meantions nothing about the possibilities of using part of the exhaust piping to power the turbo.
its a public forum. anyone can reply if they want to. deal with it.
try researching on how a turbo systems works, not just on here, but other forced inductions forums, and you’ll find an answer.
BTW: your thread title reflects nothing about your thread subject/problem. i highly suggest changing if you want people to help you.
“free eclipse turbocharger” says nothing about your problem.
ok but dont say i never did anything for you, and what do you know they are using a Turbo off of a 2nd gen DSM

google and yahoo search Junkyard turbo you should be able to find something
alright teg, sorry i flipped out i’m an ass. thanks for the link.

Re-read the Turbo guide. The 14b and T25 DSM turbos, can be used with the Greddy manifold, with an adapter plate, if you want to boltit onto a B-series head. Either this, or make a custom ex. mani.
In terms of using the O2 housing and downpipe from a DSM, I plan on doing that myself. The problem will be getting it to clear the oil pan perfectly.
Also, you’ll need to tapp into an oil feed line, and have a gravity fed return line to your oil pan.

There is actually a new setup that more and more people are using. I’m sure quite a few people on this site have heard of mounting the turbo where your muffler goes. You don’t even need a manifold or an adaptor plate, it just goes in your exhaust pipe. Therefore, it reduces underhood temperatures and allows the turbo to breathe more freely. There is a company that does this, it’s called Squire’s Turbo Systems. Look for it on yahoo.com. It’s very interesting. www.ststurbo.com
yep that remote mounting was pretty much what i was thinking of except i’d mount it closer to the exhaust manifold. so i guess it is possible. i wonder how much the custom piping would cost me.
Putting the turbo all the way back there will make for long oil feed lines,
a horribly routed oil retun line,
and with the turbo sitting back there, it’s bound to smack something on the road,
and have TONS of turbo lag, from the LONG lower intercooler piper.
The TONS of turbo lag will occur because of how far the burned air/fuel molecules must travel, and push upon one another to build back pressure. In other words, backpressure will take forever to build, because of the increased distances the air molecules must travel.
Ideally, ALL turbo piping should be as short as possible, to make boost as efficiently as possible. The problem with short piping is heat saturation/soaking. But once that can be solved, then you’re good to go.
IMO, It seems like STSturbo takes a BIG shortcut, but causing TONS of other problems while doing so.

waste of time. that thing would take forever to spool. Not to mention on a bad night someone can just unbolt your turbo and leave.
yeah if your car is lowered, and your going over a speed bump you would just say goodbye to your turbo :giggle:
sounds like something you couldnt pay me to attempt. :ban: :search: :sucks: No one mentioned how hard it would be to have your charge piping done either.Feel free to start your own monster garage show while youre at it.Whats wrong with being normal and getting a manifold thats actually efficient.By the way 3-5 psi with a t25 or 14b(whichever you got for free) and crazy laggadelic piping is a contradiction in itself.Youd be better off spending $350 on a 50 shot of nitrous.Probably safer too.I cant believe i just wasted 5 minutes responding to this.God Im bored.Good luck with the rwd turbo teggy setup.Dont hurt yourself dude.
