Yes it can, the only difference is you need the oil gap plug that feeds the turbo off of the turbo head. other than that it will work perfectly fine with no issues. I would suggest taking the replacement head into a machine shop and having them look it over. I did the same thing with mine and was glad they did due to finding the valve stem oil boot seals were cracked and would leak oil not to mention they shaved the head down so I got a little more compression.
Yes
Be sure it is a 4g63, non turbod eclipses (rs and gs models) between 1995 and 1999 use the 420a engine (which you can buy turbo kits for too) But if it is a 4g63 than the answer is yes, you would have to buy the correct turbo kit (turbo, oil lines, turbo exhaust manifold, intercooler, piping, etc) and tuning software (DSMlink). It is a good bit of work if you are not experienced with cars and building them. To turbo a non turbo car is is important to make sure the engine can handle it and SHOULD be rebuilt properly to ensure that it will last. If you are serious about this than I suggest reading up on dsmtalk.com and dsmtuners.com both are forums about everything 4G63 and even the 420a engines (non turbo'd eclipse/talon 1995-1999)
The transmission from a 4g63 will work on a4g63t whether it is standard or automatic however the standard transmission from the non-turbo engine will have a different final gear ratio than the turbo model. The automatic transmission from any model is essentially the same save the AWD model which has a secondary output shaft for the transfer case.
negative only 420a motor for non turbo or 4g63 for turbo model...or extensive modifying. i don't know why you would want to. 2000+ eclipse motors are garbage as well as the dodge 420a non turbo motor...the only motor that sould have ever been put in the eclipse is the 4g63 period.

No, The 4G63 engine is turned around a 180 degrees compared to the 420A. It would take heavy modifications for it to work. The best thing to do is to rebuild your old motor and put a turbo on that! Just remember to get low compression ratio cylinder heads.
Yes, The turbo is just a booster but the engine makes a car run.
Yes it can
I do not see the point in doing it but it would be a lot of work. it would be just like turbo charging a non-turbo car, running all the lines and all. also the engine in that car is weak. get a GST/GSX all ready turboed and has the 4g63 Actually, Depending if you have the DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) model or not you may be able to do a direct bolt on of the turbo system off a vehicle with the same engine. But I recommend getting your turbo off of an eclipse GS Turbo or GSX because all the lines and the manifold and everything will already fit without any modifications. Getting it off of a laser would work, but not as well as would require many modifications to make it fit/work.
yes
A turbo charger does not need electrics to work it is driven by exhaust gasses.
yes, great upgreade!
