Hard to Believe
I wouldn't beleive this myself unless I was there, but I was over at a friends house tonight helping him do some body work to his Eclipse, and he pretty much gave me a Turbo!!!
Here is the deal, he has some red and black racing seats that I have had my eyes on for a while. He wants to give me the turbo, manifold, and seats for $250. How can I pass this up?
I already have the turbo and manifold, but I am trying to figure things out right as I have been doing research but now that I actually have a turbo, I am feeling like a noob again.
This is a brand new stock turbo from a gen 1 Eclipse and a stock gen 1 Eclipse manifold. We held the parts in place tonight and it looks like this will work. The manifold looks like it will fit exactly and I have already thought out how to run the piping, but does anyone here know for sure if this will work?
I know pretty much all the other parts that I will need, but I am just thinking that this manifold will bolt up. If not, I may need to contact Tim about making a manifold that will work. Does anyone else have a stock gen 1 Eclipse turbo in there tiby?

I will soon.
As for the manifold I don't think it'll fit. Dweet tried it a little bit ago with no luck. Check with Tim but I think that he even said that it wouldn't fit.
On the other had Dweet is selling his log style manifold for a DSM 14b turbo, I took the turbo but decided to get a Maintec Manifold instead.

Thanks, I sent a PM to Dweet.
I am thinking that I am going to pass on the manifold and seats and get the turbo in exchange for some light work on his Eclipse. What a sweet deal!!!
I will check into this further on my own, but does anyone have any information or know where I can get information on the stock Gen 1 turbo. I am going to start looking at DSMtuner.com, but I don't even know what these turbos are called.

Naw the T15 is a smaller turbo than the 14b 1g Turbo, but it is capable of 19psi before it is out of the efficency range.
And Silver that Turbo will not fit that manifold, just a heads up the t25 that it is flanged for is a Nissan based T25 so basically it looks like a smaller T3.
I will post a pic and show you the difference if you need.

So, this is a 14b turbo?
Tim, would you have a manifold that will work? Also, I may be interested in buying some stuff from you for my custom project (manifold, oil lines, and possibly the piping).
I am thinking that this will be a mid-summer project since I am already wraped up in some rims and a body kit at the moment.
