Ok i planed on turboing my civic with a TD05-14b from a 1st gen eclipse and was wondering if the Mitsubishi TD04 turbo from a WRX would work just the same.

 

check to see if the flanges are the same. If not i'm sure i "COULD" work, it just may take a lil effort .

Honestly tho, if i were going to turbo a non turbo car such as a civic, i'd just purchase a full kit from someone like Turbo XS or Greddy or someone, their kits aren't too expensive and that way you know you got everthing in good repair and it'll all work for you fine. The guy selling/giving you the TD04 may only be doing so because it broke... you never know.

 

build ur own kit, ull be happy in the end.

 

the suby turbo will be a PITA to try to mount for a civic. The way it is designed it almost HAS to be a top mount design.

 

There have been several people to have used this turbo, I don't see anything in its design that has anything to do with it being a topmount?

 

The Subaru WRX turbo...is a top mount...mounts on top of the uppipe..

 

lol.. I understand, that has nothing to do with its ability to be mounted no any other manifold..

 

One of the suby turbo's that I have here you cannot rotate the center section...its very wierd. Therefore your oil return would be upside down, lol.

 

oh wow.. alrighty then! lol, i have never seen that..
