DSM Help GS to GST conversion
My buddy has a '97 GS eclipse spyder that a shop just dropped in a 1g 4G63. The engine runs extremely rich and seems to be butchered.
The swap was done by Goral's in Etobicoke, Ontario...and honestly they seem to be pretty stupid. My buddy had the engine delivered with a full harness and everything, a complete swap. Instead of swapping the harness over they mixed and matched parts off the 2.4l NA engine with the turbo one to accomodate the stock harness. The engine runs...kinda and extremely rich. The economy is sitting around 200km for the whole tank.
I'm want to help him fix this situation but I am having difficulty locating any documentation on this swap. Can anyone offer some suggestions or a write up of some sort....

Re: DSM Help GS to GST conversion
I have talked to a few mitsu guys already, nothing to useful....I'm coming to the conclusion of pulling the motor and doing it in a way that would make sense to me...putting in the right harness. But, I'm more of a honda guy. I've only pulled 2 DSM motors and they both have been GSX's. No NA to turbo swaps sooooo any help would be appreciated.

Re: DSM Help GS to GST conversion
It's more complicated than that...the guy bolted the intake manifold and all the sensors from the 2.4l onto the turbo motor, swapped the CPS....and well everything else. The MAF is the wrong unit and so forth. The entire thing was a butcher job and the NA ECM is being used to run it. The car bogs and runs like absolute ----. I am just looking for a write up on the turbo swap.
I've already redone all the vacuum and charge lines to teh best I can, put in a new re-circ valve and cleaned up the hoses.
