Default opinions on using a stock turbo from another car

a stock turbo from an eclipse..included..
450cc injectors,
td04 turbo,
fuel pump,
factory 1g blow off valve,
side mount intercooler

of course the pipe would have to be fabbed(work at a fab shop so no prob), but is this a good setup/idea to use this ?
it would be for a 96 accord ex 5spd.

opinions on pple who have turbo's? better to buy a kit that didnt come off of another car or what?
what probs could/would you encounter? what other parts woudl you need (boost controller,upgraded fuel system)? (im a noob,so sorry:S)
what do you do about reprogramming the honda puter for a turbo?
low boost also..6-7 psi..not much more..or what woudl this be able to do?

the turbo is in working order and its cheap (like 500 so i dont want to pass up a good deal IF it is a good deal)..so.. h-t turbo pple...help a brotha out!

i hope you mean 500 for everything listed above.....

people have used the complete turbo setup (including manifold, cause it fits) on f22a....side mount intercooler is gonna be difficult to find a spot where it will recieve fresh air, and i believe with the DSM injectors, you need some sort of restrictor box....im not familiar at all about car electronics/wiring (which will make a fog light install a bit tricky), so someone else will have to explain exactly how/what it means

you can use that turbo, it's efficiency isn't great at high boost but response should be instantaneous. You can't "chip" a 96's ECU, you'll need to explore your fuel management options, and you will need a resistor box or inline resistors to run the DSM injectors. Another KEY question: Is the turbo in good shape?? It's used and probably abused. Side mount IC is no big problem, you can mount it somewhere, just be creative. No need for the DSM fuel pump, your stocker will be fine for low boost or you can get a walbro 255 lph pump for like $90.

also, you have to decide on one of the numerous ways to get around the fact that as soon as the f22's ecu see's boost, it goes into limp...but theres a few ways to do it w/o running a standalone or spending too much money...vafc hack is/was very popular, but i dont remember how it works....somewhere in the FI forum theres a link to a sight that basicallly explains EVERYTHING you need to do to properly boost a honda motor
