I've seen a site that went into great detail on turbocharging a non-turbo 2.0. He used a bunch of stuff from a turbo eclipse, kept his engine stock though. In the end I believe he could only run 8 or 9 psi safely. Search around, I think I found the link running random searches on a dsm board while in boredom mode.

 

hmm ok thanks, but what search engine did you use and any idea what you typed for a search?

 

I was actually on dsmtalk at the time. I don't remember what I was searching for, I was just typing in random things off the top of my head and seeing if anything interesting came up. I'd try variations of "turboing non-turbo" or "turbo NT conversion" or the like, see if you can get anything to come up.

 

There is no reason you can't make 250hp+ with the stock NT 2.0L 4G63. Just make sure it is tuned well.

It is alot easier than you would think to build, especially if you have a donar car

 

Those fake blow off valves do exist... ask yourself this? Do you want to be "blowing off" only to get torched by a true racer? You would give Eclipses a bad name......

WIth a 2.0 NT block you could get a 6 bolt for cheap around htese parts. I think MitsuBucci was selling his, but I could be wrong.

 

lol, ok sounds good, and how would i make it 250+ hp,

 

im sellin a short block

 

specs? and how much?

 

I want that engine...
but only if its a long block.

anyhow.. a 2.0 NT is perfectly capable of boost. the ONLY Differences are the pistons, cams, and stuff. the reason whats-his-name can only run 8-9 psi safely is cuz of his NT compression ratio and wussy paper thin domes on his stock pistons. and lack of a real knock sensor... and air-flow limiting NT cams.
