I got a book that's titled "Turbocharge Anything." I was wonderin, should I even take the time to try and turbo my 4g15 and do a write up? I mean its something my dad and I have been thinking over for a long a$$ time and I've got other ideas for major power boost on the 4g15. But my main question is the turbo part, should I put the time into it?

you know man.. im in the same situation... wonderin if its gona blowup or anthing... but only one way to find out...and that is to do it!

rpw dont recommend it for some 4G15's, but running low boost you should be right

i wouldnt go over 6 lbs of boost. IMO youll blow something up

The 4g15 in my summit runs at 9.2:1 compression, I think that's a bit much for turbocharging isn't it?

IMO I think youd be better off tryin to make the 4g15 all motor than turbo.... boost would probably kill it but some nice cams... x1 pistons some porting and a few other things.... maybe even some nitrous and it would be a decent motor but thats just my 2 cents

1992 plymoth colt 1.5 4spd soon to have 1.8 parts and much more

1991 Eagle Talon TSi AWD eibach springs, kyb shocks, front strut bar, white face gauges, and a system

i guess you just have to ask yourself what it is you want from your car and then ask if this route will get you what you want.

i'd go for it! i was thinking about turboing my 4g15 for a little extra kick in the future unless i get this new job and can afford 2 4g63t powered cars.

biuld and tune it right, it should take a decent bit

but unles you get some better internals, i dont ever see over 10psi

IMHO

That would be a waste of time and money. You would probably be disapointed with the results. Just do the swap.

Ricehunter turboed his 4G15. He ran IIRC less than 8 psi of boost. OTOH, some member of this board had 4G61T pistons in his 4G15. Maybe that's a way to use the strong turbo pistons in a little G15.
But w/ all those mods around, 110 HP are realistically for just NA mods.

yeah, but I'm not the one that will be spending the money (well not compleatly), my dad and I are both wanting to do this and no matter what I'm still gettin the 4g63 out of the eclipse. I'm just going to do it. I don't think its going to be all that hard with an uncle around willing to let me use his shop. The only problem I see with this is the fact that i have to figure out the tunning so nothing goes wrong. My uncle knows how to get the compression right to run a turbo so I can have him do that part. I talked to him yesterday about this and he told me that the 4g15 is capable of running a turbo like the small sohc in them Hondas.
