Default Newbie....kinda

Hey all, the names Nick, just moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Lubbock Texas, im on my 3rd DSM and love them! Im currently rocking a 1993 Eclipse Body, 1991 6Bolt NT Motor with a turbo head and cams, blue top 5spd turbo injectors, a 140lph turbo fuel pump, Hacked Aircan/MAS with a K&N Filter and a Ebay Cold air intake pipe. The tranny is a 1990 5spd Turbo tranny, with an ACT2100 4Puck, Fidanza Aluminum flywheel with a symborski shifter kit. I upgraded the front brakes to the 2 piston style AWD Turbo brakes with stock components for the time being, with Steel braided lines all around. it has some 3rd gen 17" Wheels wrapped in 225/45/17's. Also some F&R Upper strut bars. As far as ICY mods go, i slapped on some diamond cut headlights and clear corners, got the windows tinted and threw in a small stereo....and thats about all!

nice clean 1g. So why did you go to the NT motor instead of swapping in a turbo

well i had the turbo motor and was going to swap it in, started looking farther into the motor and the oil pump balance shaft was locked up in it, i do have all the parts to turbo this NT motor though, but the 14b is junk, im looking for either a T25 or a 13 off of an auto car, sumthing that spools up quick since the NT motors can only hold 7-9 lbs SAFELY....id rather spool up fast and have a good consistent boost, why throw a huge turbo on and only be able to run low boost....

yeah, the t25 is not my first choice whatsoever....a 13 will spool quicker then a 14 so im really looking for one of those....
