I have an 89 GTUs with a blown engine i picked this car up for $550 everything on this car is clean even the engine! but the engine is blown. I recently bought a a new To4b turbo and an 89 turbo ECU I'm looking at some new blow off valves and front mount intercoolers. There has to be alot of things i'm missing but what else will i need, and what must i do to turbo charge this engine after it is rebuilt?

Any help will be appreciated. Details Details Details Please!

first of all wrong section. Second you cant just strap a turbo to a na motor your going to need a turbo motor drivetrain wiring harness and ecu. basicly everything, you could go stand alone and save a lot of trouble with trying to find everything but it wont be cheap. Id quit looking at those other things right now.

Dont' do that to a GTUs, they are rare. Fix the engine, sell it for more and buy a TII. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

don't, please dont. I'll give you a grand for the chassis as-is, use the cash and do what turborotor suggested.

yeah they got good points i didnt notice at first. Dont hack it up.

don't murder a GTUs!

please dont do it...its not worth it. ok lets put it this way. if you redo the motor in the GTUs you might get ie (just throwign **** out to give you an idea. what the diffrence would be) 4200. now remember i am just saying these prices just to give him a idea.

ok and with that 4200 you put 1600 for a new motor ok now bad. ok now converting it to a TII, motor, tranny, ecu, wire harness, driveshaft, rear axle. ect total with labor about 4500 then you could sell it for a max of about 4300 so you just lost 200.00 ok now please dont kill a GTUs.

Count me in, ill bring 2 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/ar.gif:shoot:

I think u guys scared him...he hasn't responded. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

Yea, I'll go with everyone else.. keep the GTUs the way it's suppose to be.

Hold up Guys i just got the car and i don't know much about it whats so precious about it? i got this turbo brand new for $400 and i just found the ECU so i figured i would through it on. I thought the tranny and suspension were the same as the turboII and i here most turboII owners would kill for the rear end a GTUs has.

I believe the GTUs is the sport version of the FC, or at least a special sport version that is hard to find.

The car is black i just put Bonez stage I brake pads and brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors and rebuilt the rear calipers. it has a and HKS intake and HKS dual super sport exhaust and 17in rims with brand new never been used kelley charger HP plus tires the paint is clean it has an A-spec strut bar and diamond cut headlights with Xenon bulbs if I rebuild will anyone buy it? I might rebuild it and sell it for $5,500

Someone would buy it, GTUs are rare. Save all the stock **** too. I would buy it as-is if the price was right.

I'm going to buy and rebuilt engine from revolution rotary and swap them

when the cars done it will be damn near brand new.

thats good id buy it if i have the money when youre done with everything.

its a turbo suspension but the tranny is N/A and rear is N/A!

any pics?

Yea i'm workin' on that

ok cool what color is it?

Put an LS1 in it!



A GTUs with an LS1 is more rare than one with a rotary https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Hey...the reason you say that the TurboII guys want your rear end is because it is a 4.3 unlike the 4.1 most other 2nd gens have...



GTUs have: 4.3 rear, T2 suspension, great interior.



But your tranny, driveshaft, axles are still NA...keep a hold on that rear end though..its worth a lot to people! I'd would almost venture to say that the GTUs is becoming more rare then a '91 T2...both FCs are hard to come by now!

Let the guy sup up his ride,

hey man put that turbo on,

hell if you have the money put some nos on-

there to...Just be careful on how you do

things, and don't scrap the car,

even if you do, consider your options,

not many people have a gtu,

so youl be havin fun in a rare car and even if you

smash it, someone will still buy it, don't be discouraged

just do what you gotta do................. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png



It's your ride, just don't sell the damn thing,

be worth in the future,(think about it)

lets say i still sup up the ride, are the axles driveshaft and and tranny absolutely needed?

Just a question i'm not sure about the whole thing but i was still just wondering.

If your meaning to do a turbo swap then yes they are needed the na parts can not handle that much power.

LMFAO!

i cant allow this!

Mazda only produced around 110 GTUs FC3s Rx-7's Reason being they wanted to race in the gTUs race class





Almost every 'real' sports car company wants to race in that class. but rules state there has to be at least 110 Cars produced and sold... and they have to be the same cars sold: that will be on the track



this is why the GTUs Mazda Rx7 is and will always be one of the nicest FC's around



10th Edition turbo (White) 10,110 Sold
