Okay heres my story I own a 93' Prelude Si. One of my friends has a 91' Eagle Talon TSI. Now hes upgrading everything on his car. So from him a can get his 14b turbo, his intercooler, and injectors. Now is this a possibility for my car. Also what else will i need and how much $$ is this going to cost me to do.
Well tell me what you think.

 

Oh yeah i can also get the blow off valve and any hosing that will work.

 

well doesn't the TSi manifold fit on the prelude H23 if you redrill one of the bolts holes?

 

yup

 

grab the manifold, redrill it, and slap it on the H23. Use his 14b turbo, 450 injectors, intercooler if you get it cheap (even though it sucks), BOV, and get a VAFC/SAFC to tune the injectors. I was gonna do that while back, but ran outta money; I still got the manifold if you want can't get ahold of his...

 

Hey Ludeykrus,
How much drilling does it need? (what exactly and where)
Can i fit a Garrett t3 turbo on this manifold?? It would save me alot of custom manifold building.

 

how about $75 shipped? It's a 1st gen. mani for a 14b turbo, great shape, but it has a few hairline cracks that almost all used mani's have; none of them leak, though, so it's still compeletely functional. I bought it intending to make a mostly-DSM based boneyard boost setup, but I ran outta funds and need to sell it off to go nitrous and pay some debts. The price above is just to get my money back out of it; let me know if it's in your ballpark or not.

It appears you need to redrill all but one or maybe two holes; the ports line up perfectly, but the holes are barely off for the headbolts. If you have access to a drill press, it'd be a piece of cake to do w/ the right bit. I woulda already done it, but I never have time; I have a full body kit in my garage to replace my busted up bumpers, but I can't get the time to throw it on!

And yes, w/ a little work, you can fit almost any turbo on there you want. All you'd have to do is redrill holes as long as the flange has enough metal; if there's not enough, you'll just need to cut/grind off the old flange, cut a big enough piece of thick steel plate, drill the holes to fit the turbo, and reweld it onto the mani. My bud's switched between 3 different turbo flanges on his turbo'd 240, and his is still clean and hauls @$$! The only thing i'd be concerned with is the room you have to work with. I've heard that the 14b/T25 stock turbo's on that mani. require some grinding of the front motor mount, so a larger turbo may require more grinding. Grinding the mount doesn't affect reliability or the function of the motor, but it's just a little bit more grinding you'd have to do.

EDIT- I'll throw in a H23 exhaust mani. gasket w/ the manifold if you want, so you can use it for the install and use it as a guide for drillin the holes.

 

Wow so that setup will work. I'll have to tell the kid to hold the parts for me. Hey anyone know whats the max boost i can run safely?

 

well with that size turbo, probably 8-12 lbs safely

 

Good luck finding a 14b for $100, much less $75...trust me, I tried. I found one that needed seals replaced for $100, but that's it. I'd take $55 shipped now, I don't need it and I need the money, but whatever floats your boat....

 

Hey ludeykrus,

You said first generation eclipse manifold right?? What year should i be checking then and can i take one from a second generation eclipse??

I'm looking for one right now, but i need just this little bit of info before i can proceed.

thnx for the help

 

Hey ludey

how much u want for the shocks. All I need are the rears.

 

i'm not quite sure what the years are for the different gen's, but the 1st gen uses a 14b turbo, and the second gen. uses a T25. The 14b is bigger, so go for the 1st gen mani.

The shocks? hmmm.....20 + shipping? PM me if you're interested

 

ooh! you got a H23 header....let me think about something....i'll get back to ya later....
