I have the 89' gtus and i'm thinking about honestly putting in a turbo II motor and transmission in it.. but a cheaper route is this motor my friend has that is a 88' Na motor. Will that fit?



thanks..

There is alot of difference in th motor. First off its a series 4 motor , then you have the 88 is mechanical oil injection pump,the impedence on the injectors are different. you'll need the ecu and I also believe your gonna need the afm. But im not too sure about that! Hope this helps. By the way nice car

Well hmm... differences differences...grrr...



I'm very tempted to grab a Tii motor and transmission.



someone said it'd cost 2300 dollars or so... which sux. and then i have someone that says that i should be able to get one with the transmission for 1200







However I drove the car again today...wierd. Makes the knocking noise from hell...smokes like clouds...drives okay. (didn't go very far)



Sooooo...... I didn't try the ATF trick because I think there is more to it than that... I should have the car back to my town wed.



(it is still parked in another city) I have recieved many compliments about the car and i appreciate it. I'll be taking a few more pictures when I get it back here. I've set the car on security level 5 when i parked it. i've heard many people have been trying to look inside and i am getting worried by the hour while it's there.. so time for me to grab it.... lol



It stands out waaay too much where it's at.
