The (Other) Eclipse under construction
#1
Corny title, I know. Anyway, Finally got the parts in that I need to do my turbo install. I was wondering if anyone could allow me to borrow their drill and "porting kit" so that I can modify my oil drain and also port my 02 housing and 2g manifold.

Also, if anyone considers this shit fun, like I do. PM me if you want to help, its always more fun with people helping. Its the porting the manifold and housing that is gonna take a while.

Just putting this out there cuz I know I always look for othjer opportunities to help mmers.

You're welcome to my die grinder, but what are you doing to your oil drain?

the holes for the bolts need to be widened a little bit to fit the new turbo's bolts.

A dremel would be good for the return line holes although I originally did mine with just a round metal file. I'm assuming your shit came with new return line gaskets...if not pick two up.

Do you have a carbide bit for the porting? Because I've never heard of anyone doing much without one.

A dremel will be fine. I doubt you can get a carbide bit at an autoparts store in the Hburg. Better check an industrial tools type place out.
