Just wanted to know if a turbo from a 1g eclipse fit an 04 civic?
I had a friend just give me a fresh rebuilt turbo that fit his eclipse but ended up selling the car and now the turbo is in my hands and was curious if it will fit my civic. I know i would still need other parts put as far as the actual turbo goes will it fit or work in my car?

Short answer is yes, you just need to know what kind of flange it takes to mount it to a manifold. If its a T25 (should be) or a T3, then you're in luck and can find manifolds that directly fit it. Any turbo can physically fit any car as long you've got a manufacturer who makes a manifold for your car and whatever footed turbo you have. Then you just build around the turbo. However, I have no idea what the specs are on the 1G turbo to know what to expect from a power standpoint.

You're going to need to have a custom manifold made. Mitsu turbos like the 14b you're talking about don't use t25, t3, etc flanges.

^ correct. By the time you make everything to use this turbo and get the car running good, you'll end up spending more than a kit and getting half the results. For a lil more ummph just grab a nitrous kit and zap it with a 50 shot.
