Hey everyone, I Just bought my cousins 97 Highline that she blew the waterpump and the timing belt. Havent gotten the head off to know how bad it is yet but I expect the worst. Anyways, I bought this car cuz it was cheap and I always wanted to build a 2.0 turbo ever since my brother had his turbo talon. Im used to the bigger motors like the LT1 in my Formula and the 350 in my suburban. My brother's gonna help me build this one as he built the talon from the ground up. The real question I have is have you seen the full kits this guy is selling, and are they any good. the link I have is expired but he lists more sometimes and has them listed for about 5 different cars. Here is the link to the expired one. EBAY LINK

 

I'd stay away from ebay kits that are for the 420a (eclipse and 4cyl Avenger) engines. The heads are reversed, so the piping may not fit correctly.

 

i got my turbo kit on www.protekturbos.com for $1350. the kit came complete with everything such as the FMU, fuel pump,boost controller, boost gauge and pod, etc. the only i am worried about is the piping though. cause the kit is suppose to be for an eclipse 420A, but they just sent me the turbo manifold for the SOHC neon. so whats up with the "universal" piping kits on ebay if this stuff i got wont fix? is there a turbo piping kit exclusively for the Neon?

 

^^^Where are the pix at????

I don't know that it won't fit, but it might.

 

unfortunately my "walmart" digital camera is broke now, so i cant get no pix right this second.[:@] they SAY that the piping would fit. but who knows, i guess ill find out when i start on it a few weeks time. hey would it be better for me to just buy the moroso or obx oil pan with the oil send and return line fittings on it, or just tap into my stock one?...dont want to run into oil leaks.

 

The moroso oil pan is great if you wanna spend the money, I'd recommend it first and then tapping into your stock oil pan.

 

it looks alot like its just a 420 ugrade. the morosso is hot but dont use it for the send. and intercooler piping you car make the peices fit with pvc pipe if needed.

 

why would it mess up the turbo?...and how did yall tap into the oil pan when installing? just drilled a hole...?[&:]

 

The oil pan is for the return line only. You don't have a pump in the pan to feed the turbo do ya?

You would drill a hole high up on the pan and thread it for the fitting.

 

naw i dont have a oil pump in the pan lol, and i didnt start on it yet das...just wanted to gather as much info as possible for quicker install. so do you run a line from the oil pump to feed oil to the turbo or something?
