I have a 94 eclipe 1.8l sohc non turbo, I am thinking of boosting it, but cant find enough info on it, plus I would like to know if its possible to use the manifold from a 4g63 motor?
if I cant boost this engine I would look into a 4g63 swap.

From what I have heard the 4G63 swap into a non turbo model (except Spyder) is more trouble than it's worth. I think the 1.8L SOHC engines don't hold boost well also. Maybe a Turbo 420A?

theres a couple people that have done it you need to find the old colt manifold and make an adapter plate or go custom. i thought about doing this but turboing my civic is going to be alot cheaper. i also have a 94 eagle talon sohc. i have read that the 4g63 swap is a pretty much drop in but you need the harness and ecu also

swap in the na 4g63 and work from there. Doing the turbo swap in those things is ------- rediculous.

I thought the 420A was a direct drop in? Maybe not... Whats the engine code on the 1.8L? I'm with you though. I have a 96 GS and I'm trying to turbo the Civic. Hopefully I can get the gremlins out and get it sold.

the second gen has a 420a and the 4g63 swap is harder becuase it has different mounts. the first gen has a 4g37 and has the same mounting points as the 4g63 . the trans even bolts up but would probably blow if you did any mods to the 4g63

Ok gotcha. Well with that being said, got 4G63T

the 94 eclipse, is that the 1st gen, or second gen? I though my engine was the 4g37 but not sure, I just would like to have a little more power. the civic is already boosted, and I have some extras, that can boost another car 75% minus the manifold and ems

its a first gen. you just need the manifold from a turbo colt but i would use another turbo because they are tiny

ok thanks, I do need to do some major research and find some shop manuals for this car, since I am a honda guy, and know nothing about mitsubishis
