So I'm looking for a first gen right now and I'm planning an engine swap. I'm having trouble deciding which one to go with, so I decided to poll Nopistons, yay!



Let me know what you think and why!

TII is easier if you're going to use the stock turbo. Cosmo is better if you're going to rebuild it and swap the exhaust sleeves, and go with a large single.



It depends on how much work you want to do.

Don't tell me that, tell me it's going fine and couldn't be easier!

getting the engine in was easy enough, running has been the hard part lol. wiring the haltech was pretty simple too, one of the guys i'm corresponding with at haltech has been really helpful and i think i may have figured out the problem. we'll see though

How big of a turbo are you going to put on it. And I've heard good things from Tii motors plus room.

I haven't explored those options yet. I was going to post in the Single Turbo section once I figured out what engine to go with.
