Yeah, if you didnt find it yet, the eclipse turbo is a garret t25 which is perfect for low boost applications, but if you ever want to run higher boost after you get the t25, that means new turbo, new turbo manifold, and possibly new downpipe, and the eclipse turbo most likely will be an internal wastegate. But it was suggested because its easy to get one from a junkyard

 

how much boost can you get out of one? Any idea on approximate costs?

 

you can get about 15 psi out of one in the efficient zone of the map. it can be pushed even further but it wont be as efficient and the turbo will go out sooner. basically unless you get the motor fully built, it will deliver plenty for you need.

 

How much $$ we talking to get the parts I'd need and the turbo?

 

From what I've read of the DIY eclipse 2g turbo for an accord at these forums I'd say the magic number is 1500. If you want to spend less you can shop around and find some bargains, if you want to upgrade a few things or don't want to wait very long you'll tack on a few 100 bucks.

 

has anyone thought about trying to go with a supercharger?? instead of messing with all the tubing of a turbocharger

 

I believe the only super charger kits are made for the v6 accord. But in my opinion you will want some engine work cause a constantly running super charger would be a little harder on the engine. And dont look forward to gas mileage. lol Besides, the piping isnt that hard to do.

 

well im not planning on like dragging it lol, i just want a street turbo then if i go with that
like the t25 out of the eclipse... but, i live in an extremely small town and inless they build a kit out there somewhere for the t25 to fit on the accord i dont know where to get the piping bent... intercooler's no problem... but the tubes... i have no idea
