Bought an 85 Gsl-se...went and picked up the car and some clown had ripped all the injecion stuff out and put a 12a in it. I guess wehn the 13b died they went the cheap route. So now I need a gsl-se 13b and all the wiring electronics to get her going correctly.

Well that's no fun. You bought the car without looking at it first?



At least the body looks good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

well....didn't really know what I was looking for at first.....I'm new to 1st gen's...but I got a hell of a deal. Anybody have a se motor lying around?

Interesting. Maybe its a gsl in se clothing?

is the vin jm1fb332? or 331? pm me my buddy has a couple of se motors, they are pretty complete too

JM1FB332...

Ah, engine swaps are half the fun.

Welcome to nopistons! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

That looks like a GSL with an SE suspension.

Yeah looks that way.No factory spoiler either...... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

i got a running -se as a doner for supen swap.i have the full motor from the airbox(with drop in k&n) to the motor... full intake is there. no exh and no ecu but i did unhook the harness so all you need to do is plug it in. motor has unknown miles but i know its VERY LOW the inside of the motor is clean as hell with no carbon buildup at all. i ran the motor for about 30 sec... fired right up and PURRED did a MAZDA compression test on it and it hit over 90 on all faces thats super for a cold motor. it also has a r.b alum flywheel on it. i would keep the alt. but thats it u get water pump main pully air pump(not 100 thats there) i aslo have a stock flywheel so i can swap it out if u want the stocker. 750 with stock fly 1050 with alum fly plus shipping.

what u talkin bout willys...mines had no spoiler....



and it definately looks like a gsl, maybe gs with sunroof with a SE suspension, cause who in their right mind would leave the all them solenoids in if doing a swap??

well, according to the vin number it's an se..the motor was swapped by some shop b/c the people wanted to save money......and being in a city where they have to pass inspection they left all the emissions on it. I am trying to get my bosses wrecked se for free but it will definitley need a rebuild.

Where are you located? I'm not sure if I can come up with 750 bones very soon but it sounds like a decent deal....all I'll have to do is get ahold of an ecu and swap my altenator(should work from what I'm told).....but if you're close I'll pick it up and save some money on shipping.



Got any pictures of it? Is it still in the car?

or is there anything else i would need....?

a few things leading me to believe it is an se:



1. vin number

2. they hotwired the car bowl vent since there wasn't one

3. there is no choke cable or hole in dash for one

4. gas lines have been hacked up to get gas to carb.

Yep, looks like you did get screwed...



Did they tell you it had a "new" motor?

it said it ran great etc....i sent cash and never expexcted for someone to have downgraded motors like that. I assumed the 13b ran great ya know. Well, I am in the market for a motor/tranny and all the electronics if you know someone near memphis, TN. I basically need a front clip, wiring, ignition, everything to make sure I can get her going again. I PMed one guy about his donor car...waiting to see what happens there.

Mines has a stocker.Click on Project GT-X in my sig to see what the stocker is.I was thinking of selling it but not sure now tho.What do you think of the new avatar guys?

Nice avatar. Clearer than the other one, although the kicks asphalt avatar rocks.



I didn't know about the factory spoiler either??

I'll doubt we got factory spoilers here... (but then we didn't get options exactly..)

At least they put a fuel filter by the carb/ that shows some knowledge.

i forgot how ugly all that emisions stuff is and the ac stuff also, ack its nasty!!!!! well at least you have the lsd and the 4,100 lug patern and not the gay ass 4.110 patern that nobody sells wheels in (damn damn damn)

But what year 12a is that? with Red, Blue, Green Yewllow, white think on the rotor ? what are thise think?

i have a 12a but dont have thise colored things =)

Thats the emmisions stuff (rats nest) that the earlier posts were talking about.

oh .. understand i for the emission in the 12a i have a strange header with a in ports, that where is a compressor that pomp air into the exhaust...

You mean your acv? (air control valve) It pumps fresh air into the exhaust to keep emissions down.

Can you get rid of the emissions stuff on the 13b-DEI like you can on the 12a? I found a tutorial for removing the rats nest but nver heard about doing it for the real gsl-se 13b which I will have again one of these days.

There's not much benefit to doing it to the 13b, as it's fuel injected, and doesn't have quite the mess to deal with the 12a has.

Well, i was basically wondering b/c i want my car to have the correct motor in it and I am gonna have to buy everything, sensors, air flow sensors, air pump, everything to get it back to stock configuration...i was just trying to eliminate some cost.
