you can Buy a turbo, and put it on a new motor, or fix that one.. and turbo it... then you'll have yourself a "turbo motor" gl

It would prob be easier buying the parts and rebuilding the motor you have. Unless you're planning on spending lots of money, I would yank the motor, machine it, and rebuild it with new pistons/rings/whatever else it may need. Would be the more cost effective. (Around $1200 for maching / parts) Hell you could even build the motor for boost, drive it, then finally drop $3k and get a decent turbo setup.

Some one said you can't drop turbo motors in eclipse's that aren't factory turbo, the tranny is on the other side on a turbo motor, but what do I know? I'm just a Honda boy.
