Check the engine swap section.ITs been done on here before

you can get a lil bigger ports on the engine if you decide to port it.. and it can support more horsepower.. if your thinkin about doing this swap.. you should look into doing a cosmo 2 rotor swap.. id recommend that over a fd swap..

lol, you must still have that money you supposively had to buy a 3rd gen.



even Jims (the guy who did it here) said in his post that if he was to do it again he'd rather just buy a 3rd gen then do the swap into his 2nd gen.

i'd say spend a little bit more money and do a 13b-re swap from a cosmo.. the ports are twice as big as tII's, exhaust port is very restrictive which can be ported reallyyyyyyy biiiiggggggggg... but on the other side.. you would have to run a stand alone ecu.. unless u wanna run the stock auto tranny? which is crap.... and most likely.. exhaust manifold, single turbo, wastegate, blow off valve, fmic, piping... and also custom motor mounts.. but it is better than than a regular FD swap..



i know all this because my neighboor is actually in the project is doing this to a custom 88 TII vert

a stock T2 computer can run a 13B cosmo engine....sorta

we did it, runs decent

I think I will do the swap ive been putting money aside for a new engine ever since I got the car.I should just save up for a 20B allready.

4rr, not to dash your hopes, but putting in one of these custom swaps is NOT cheap. it's not like "ohh ill save $2k and itll be enough"



plus you need to have access to more funds in case little problems come up, which they always do, and require you to get something different.



kevin.

well I never said ohh i'll save 2k and it'll be enough

i didnt say that you did, im justsaying you're going to have to save up a lot of money in your piggybank before you decide to do the swap, its far from cheap.



kevin.

yeh its true what kev is saying



youll price it all out .... like... 3000 for engine, 1500 for labor, 1000 for ems....but youll wind up spending 1/3 - 1/2 more than your projected costs

LoL a 20b.



Try a minimum of 10 thousand dollars. That is if you do all the work yourself and find some good deals.

its expensive man, 10,000 if ur lucky. seriously consider all options, such as why u are doing the swap, cuz u could go for some serious modifications w/the same amount of money. If you really wanna do it, all the power to you. and best of luck

i would much rather use a FC 13b and just do a t04e. thats enough power for me.

considering jims used a motec... that is why $$$ are through the roof

Every 3rd gen owner I know has junked the twin turbo for a bigger single turbo, why not do the same?
