Any engine can be turbo charged, how much boost you can run depends on a number of factors( comp. ratio, cylinder head material, how much can you engine handle, fuelyour running, how much you want to spend). 6-8psi is normal for most kits, buthave seen stock engines running 10-12psiwith high octane withan intercooler or meth injection. Depend on make/model their might be a few kits avail. making it more economical to buy.
You can put a Turbo on your 1992 engine. You will need to purchase a air intake Turbo modification kit.
Well, the turbo charged car has a turbo hooked up to the engine. What a turbo basically does is to force feed the engine with more air + fuel, making it possible to get more power out of a smaller engine.
yes and yes, there are many forums and articles on google with this info, along with a good write up on suprastore.com
The Jetta engine should fitAnswerAny four-cylinder watercooled VW engine will FIT in the car; every watercooled inline-4 Volkswagen engine has the same bellhousing pattern and mounting bolt hole locations. The question is, which engines will work? And really, because of all the electronics in your car I wouldn't guarantee anything but another 1.8 Turbo would work.
explosion and possible risk of death.
How do you blow a engine turbo.
look at the engine, is there a snail shell looking thing attached to the front of the engine...if so then u got one. ------ If your Eclipse is a GS or RS it did not come from the factory with a turbo. the engine should be on the passenger side of the car. That engine is a 420a. If you have an Eclipse GSX or GS-T then you have a turbo charged engine. the engine will be on the drivers side of the car. this is the 4g63 engine. it is possible to have a 420a with a turbo, but someone will have had to put it on themselves, and you would probably know that when you bought it.
No, the turbo is powered by the exhaust and uses no engine power.
It is possible to convert you N/A diesel to a Turbo Diesel, but it won't be cheap. The gains you get for the money arn't really worth the cost. The only exception is if you can find a wrecked 300D with a turbo and scavenge the turbo and associated hardware off it. If you need more info please ask. I and doesn't disappoint you too much. As I understand it the turbo engine is updated with high temp valves and a hardened and/or oversized crank to handle the increased engine torque and combustion temps. I would recommend to just find a decent turbo engine and swap the whole thing. I hear you can find them for as low as $500 sometimes.
Yes, it is called twin charging. I believe it is possible due to the fact a turbo runs off the exhaust while a supercharger is belt driven.
Yes, this is possible. However, it involves a significant amount of components and systems not currently in the non-turbo car and it is generally easier, less expensive and more reliable to purchase the turbo car (if one is available).
yes
