is there anyone who makes a turbo for this little 1.6sohc? i dont feel like dropn a new engine till this one is smoked. ive read all the advice that going from this to a 1.8 is about the only way to find turbo and get an engine to fit in this w/o changing everything from the headlights to the firewall. would a honda turbo fit this 4 banger? or can i find one for this engine. hell if someone found a way to mod one id be happy. hook me up.

It's the piping that you need to get. You don't want to get a turbo that is too powerful unless you get a boost controller or you WILL smoke your engine. Go with a turbo off a wrecked 2nd gen eclipse and get an intercooler from an older starion, and you are set. Now all you have to find is someone to bend some piping and figure out where to run it. I'm sure that the engine's internals won't hold alot of boost, but you should be able to get about 100-110HP out of it.

I'm in the same boat man (SOHC). The 2nd gen eclipse set up is decent and they have an air flow meter thing too so the piping should be similar( not the manifold though).<BR>I think Dave said our motor could take like 10 psi but for daily drivability id stay 6. Corksport (I think) and Steve Millen Racing makes a 4-1 turbo manifold u might want to look at if your gonna be making a custom one anyway.

the turbo manifold is for a dohc i4....and the 323 turbo bolts right up...<P>just the down pipe has to be custum made<BR>jason

Turbo 1.6 with at most 120hp for $3000<BR> -or-<BR>New engine (1.8 turbo/BPT) with 185hp for less.

protege, are you talking about the b6t internals? i wouldn't think that the n/a sohc internals could hold all that much.

I honestly belive it owuld be cheaper to turbo your current motor than swap out to a new one.. Give the other parts you would need and the labor involved the costs could be vastly diffrent.

I completed this project this week here is the cost issues I came across you decide.<P>LABOR = ALL MY OWN FREE THANK GOD!!<BR>IHI VJ14 TURBO AND MANIFOLD = $100.00<BR>STARION INTERCOOLER, DMS BOV PLUS PIPING = $200.00<BR>MISC THINGS LIKE GASKETS, BOLTS, ETC $50.00<BR>I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO GET THE DOWNPIPE MADE SO I DONT HAVE THAT PRICE.<P>I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND A CLUTCH, APEXI S-AFC, WIRES & PLUGS, MSD IGNITION.

I have not got it on the road yet, but for the last month prior to this mod all I have been using is premium nothing less than 91, I may be crazy, but I not stupid.

i thought the base of the b6t rods were a bit wider...

damn guys, thanks for the advise, keep it rolln in. where am i gonna find this turbo you are talkn about? the same year 323? or the 2gen eclipse?
