Default Eclipse turbo swap??

Does anyone know about swappin a stock turbo kit from a 97 eclipse gst to a 94 accord? if i were to get the right manifold would this be like an easy swap or would there be tons of fabrication? Theres an eclipse for parts for sale near me and i was daydreaming

pretty much the only thing you could use is the turbo, you would need a new manifold, charge piping etc

actually, i've herd that the eclipse manifold is much like the f22's. but im not completely sure. The turbo is just a t3 so it would be fairly easy to find a manifold w/ t3 flange.

just go to autozone or pepboys, etc... and ask for a flange for both cars and compare...then just give it back to them and say "thanks, but no thanks". LOL... but do that to check the bolt and hole pattern.

I believe two of the holes for the manifold will match up but u haveto drill 2 of the holes out bigger to match up

You can only use the turbo itself. Manifold wont fit into a f22.

^ He's correct, not all heads are 00-00, some are 0-0-0-0
