Hey all, well my motor went on me about 2 months ago. I have a 85 SE. I came across a pretty good deal on a 89 TII motor with only 36,000 miles on it. For those of you out there with this type of conversion, I would like to hear your experience with it. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing before I commit to it. Thnx in advance

There are no cons.

Oh sure there are TONS of cons man, check it out:



Pros: you have an extremely fast car that is totally fantabulous in every single way. Simply described as "Scrumtrolescent"



Cons: you MAY lose a few MPG gas mileage. Due to increased power and acceleration you will have a tendencie towards speeding, all those hondas that used to annoy you you can now DECIMATE and laugh all the way, and trust me oh GOD its tempting to race every pimped/riced car you see. Avoiding the police becomes an artform. Driving anything else suddenly becomes a mundane, boring chore that you are forced to do in between drives of your rx. You now will dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to just sitting in the car, parked in the driveway, reflecting on how much you love the car. THis time is not optional. It is mandatory for any turbo FB owner. All other hobbies / chores / relationships / occupations become secondary. All money you make will be spent on extra goodies to add to your finely tuned machine of speed.



But don't worry. There are support groups to help you get thru it. This one, here, as well as one at this website: http://www.rx7club.com and this one: http://www.mazspeed.com

Scrumtrolescent should be your title instead of Master of the rotary universe. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

There's a guy selling all the electronics for the TII to FB swap plus some directions on The Parts Trader
