Installing turbo

  

Xavier2k20 -> Installing turbo (1/23/2008 1:15:17 AM)

How hard is it to install one. I hear it takes long time but is not hard. My brother is a mechanic but has never done a turbo before but is sure he can do it. And if i need a mechanic how much would he charge if i provide the turbo. And one more question what does a turbo timer do and is it required. oh and i hear people saying that you can tune the turbo to not give out as much hp how is it this done. And do i need a intercooler if i get a bigger turbo,or can i hold off for a bit. This  for a 95 eclipse gsx.

one more thing that's off the subject, can you put a remote start on a stick shift. just wondering

First off all what kind of car do you have?  is it stock with a turbo?   If not your prob not going to like my responce but its truthful.

you need ALOT!!!! more than just a turbo inorder to turbo a car.  your looking at a minimum of like $3000 in parts and that is under guessing.  most places charge like $800-$1500 to install a turbo on a 2000-2005 eclipse GS or RS.  I can tell you the work itself is not all that hard persay BUT it requires alot of other stuff and alot of tuning ect ect ect.

I highly recommend not having anyone install it unless it is a custom shop like turbotrix, buschur, or places like that because you can take your car to anyone to turn a wrench but getting the car tuned will not happen and if that is hte case then kiss your motor goodbye within a day

Please do a search. If this is truely a GSX then you already have a turbo stock as well as a side mount IC. I suggest you do some research and learn about your car before you start talking about any of this stuff because i can give you answers but my feeling is you are not gonna understand the answers unless you research some of the things your asking about first. We do have a search function on here. Do some of it in the 2g eclipse section

All a TT does is allow the car to run for about a minute to allow the turbo to cool down. Not necessary since you can do that by letting the car run at idle for about a minute before shutting it off.

Just so you guys know, I think the reason he is asking about this is because he is looking at buying a gsx that he was told has a blown turbo.  Thats why hes asking about cost to put a new one on. http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/fb.asp?m=201231

Its not that bad to put on yourself...   And yes you can put in a remote start in a manual transmission car..  However its not recommended b/c the car will try to start even if you have it in gear.   As for myself, I leave my car in gear all the time, since it works like a brake..

thats not a good thing to do.  trany stress if you park like that on hills often youll kill your tranny.  I always put my ebrake up while in N then let it lock the car inplace and put it in gear after.   So that way if one lets go I have the other there and im not stressing the tranny.   Same even with auto cars.  I always put the ebrake up first let the car settle then put it in park

you sit in your car and wait for the tt to count down and then do that? i always use my ebrake put it in neutral and go
