13b n/a swaped with 13bt turbo
#2
There are lots of topics on it, Hit the search button at the top. I am sure it has been outlined in deatil a few times. But if not, it is very posible, just depends on how far you want the swap to go and how much money you want to spend on it.

thanks for the tip, i found what i was looking for....and for anybody else that is still confused here is what i found, hopefully it will help...
How to: Coverting N/A to TII
parts list:
TII Motor complete
i.e manifolds,turbo,injectors,intercooler.....
Turbo wiring harness
TID
Turbo Hood or get a front mount
Turbo boost sensor (strut tower)
selenoid resistor
Turbo Airflow meter
Turbo ECU
Turbo acc cable
So Ill make a little write up and post some visual aids tomorrow
(digi cam batt dead)
NA prep::::::
lift up the passenger side carpet
and you will see a metal shield that houses the ECU
disconnect the ECU
pull out ecu
there's more yellow /orange on the side
disconnect those too
including a small white plug that is hooked up to a brown boost sensor looking thingy
open hood
pull out charcoal canister
and wiper reservoir
gently start pulling the wiring out
next disconnect all the chassis wiring
oil sensor
engine temp sensor
spark wires
take out rad
and fan
lift car
drain oil
disconnect oil lines
disconnect fuel lines
( you might want to yank out the fuel pump fuse
and spin motor to remove fuel pressure)
becarefull with the front ones you need
2 wrenches
then get back under car disconnect starter
motor bolts
then top motor bolts
ac lines
remove top manifold
powersteering lines
disconnect and remove na airflow meter
disconnect and remove boost sensor
disconnect whole exhaust leaving the exhaust manifold
but a jack under the tranny so it don't fall
double check everything is clear to yank motor out complete
Ok get engine hoist
hook up chain to rear and front cast housings
remove the motor
with alt,water pump,bottom manifold etc intact
2 things to consider
1: Do you want to keep your current drive train (tranny and diff)
2: you want to drop a whole TII engine and drive train (expensive
unless you find a donor car)
In my case I found a 88 Turbo II motor complete with ECU,boost sensor
wiring harness,intercooler turbo
for $600
spent another 600-700 rebuilding and porting the motor
I did not however have the Turbo tranny or starter or drive shaft
or rear end
so what to do?
Easy! My SE was a 87 so I swapped the Turbo flywheel and front counterweight and put the n/a counter parts.
Note) Don't install 89-91 counterweights on a 87-88 engine
eccentric shaft has different balance
Once my engine was put together (all pollution stuff removed makes installation a breeze)
I put the turbo manifold and turbo on the engine
put the bottom intake manifold on
installed the meter oil lines top breaks just install silicon hoses
plastic to oil injectors.
make sure you hook up a vacuum like to the fuel reg to a vacuum
source there one on the bottom manifold by the injectors
then hooked up the wiring (fuel injectors, water pump sensor
TPS etc
once you got most of the wiring pugs hooked up
It's time to install the engine into the bay
This the tricky part especially when doing it alone
get the engine hoist and chain to the rear and front cast housings
put a jack underneath the tranny and lift the tranny all the way
move engine over rad support keeping it centered
get it close to tranny.
Once lined up slowly let the engine down till you see the trannys
shaft go into the clutch. Now lower the tranny a bit and try wiggling the engine to get the shaft to seat inside the pilot bearing.( you might have to lower or rise tranny a few times while pushing the engine towards the tranny for it to seat properly)
The bitch here is getting the motor mounts to line up
the passenger side mount is the easy one
install the rubber mount to the body and the cover
the engine mount will fall on this
The driver side has the bolt the needs to go thru the chassis
good luck here took me a good hour to get it in
Once you see that the top rear housing of the motor is pretty
flush to the tranny put a bolt on the top by the passenger side to keep the motor from disconnecting from tranny
when your lowering the tranny all the way
OK your almost there
finish bolting the motor up, hook up the main oil lines
install starter
install the mazdatrix down pipe(recommended $115
now we need to pass the wiring warness ecu plugs thru the firewall
pass the plugs one at a time
then go inside the car and pull the plugs till it reaches the ecu area
There's one white plug that hooks up to a brown boost sensor looking one.
The yellow plugs are easy, you cant mix them up cause there different sizes ,only the correct ones can plug into ecu
go ahead and install the rad+fan and hoses
hook up the temp sensor
oil temp
rad sensors
solenoid resister-big white plug in front of passenger side strut tower.
Now for the top manifold
place on top of bottom manifold
making sure it has a new or good condition gasket
bolt it up
hook up throttle position sensor
manifold pressure sensor
alternator wires
install TID and airflow meter
bov
and vacuum hoses to thos parts
like the boost sensor
3 way tee
maybe a 4 tee for a boost gauge
install intercooler
tighten all clamps real good
hook up fuel lines
new spark plugs
You need to replace the NA accelerator cable with a Turbo one
much longer wraps around motor
add water and coolant
install batt
DO NOT put the spark wires yet
get in car
crank the motor
to let oil lub the motor and
the turbo (15 secs or so)
Now hook up the spark plug wires
get back in car
*prey* LoL
wait a few secs for fuel to build pressure
turn the key
after a few motor spins
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
she Lives! she Lives!!
cough* cough* Oh my the smoke
after a few min outside the smoke will go away
next get a custom 3 inch exhaust
go to track
run 13's
*I might of forgot some stuff
but that's the jist of it
