would be easier to swap in a TII motor and wiring harness. Then go to work on the drivetrain.

high compression n/a motor, can't handle much boost, esp w/o a standalone ems.

basically what we are trying to say is that a t2 conversion ends up costing about the same as turboing the na

Just sell the spare and use that money for a j-spec.IF it runs good some people will pay good money for a good condition 13b.Then you can buy the j-spec and save for a rebuild kit.Just don't pull a vosko and start it and blow the coolant seals.
