Scrap the vert and buy the TII man. The TII is lighter, handles better, and in my opinion looks better. Save the TII's!!!!! What year is the TII?

the engine will fit but you need to update it to s5, or backdate the whole car electrically to s4

there is a big problem with the TII. It is in the back corner of a junkyard behind 3 rows of cars parked door to door-bumper to bumper. If we can find a way to get her out, we will def do it.



I havent seen the car personally, just some of my frineds have.



He really wants a vert rx7 (verts do rule) just as a cruser.



thanks for your help. Any parts we should knab if we pull the engine? I think it would be easiest to go with haltech....

you need the whole drivetrain; tranny/starter/slave cylinder/diff/halfshafts, the computer; engine and dash harness, and the AFM and pressure sensor... Along with the hood or FMIC, haltech would make it alot easier in the wiring department... It would be way easier, like 1000x, to just rebuild the engine and put it back in the t2

i agree, but the turbo II is going to be a MASSIVE bitch to move...



i havent seen it in person, my frineds tell me its in good shape, but its in a junkyard for a reason, so it might not even be useable.
