I agree! Somebody will pay good $ for it. Use that $ to buy a TII. Post a pic of the damage.

where is the car located ?

Well, obviously this man is set on converting the car, i know what its like, have fun, i'll be done within a month, just waiting for parts.

I'm with everybody else on this one, you should keep it n/a and port the motor. It's a cool car, congrats!

its not THAT much work guys... swapping a rearend and tranny at MOST will take a day. Putting the engine in can be done in under a couple of hours.... hooking everything up and wiring it would be done in a weekend if you were lucky. Its your car, do what you want. The 1989 GTUs isn't very rare, I see them all of the time, its the 1990 GTUs that is next to non-existent...

I'm with you. It's not a huge project. I've done it a few times. I know that the GTUs is supposed to be special, but it's nothing that can't be duplicated very easily.

kurgan your forgetting the point..... we want this guy to have a car that runs LOL



how many turbo converted cars run and last.... atleast if he gets a TII and blows the engine can just get another engine no biggie https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I'm plannin on swappin a 89 tII engine into a 88 gtu... and I'm doin it cause the engine of the gtu is smokin everytime i rev it over 4000 rpms... i know that its not the apex seal cause its been doin this for a while now ... and i'm pretty sure that its the O rings.. cause i'm always puttin in more coolant and i don't have a leak and plus the smoke is white... am i right or wrong...



ohh and one more question.. what is the horse power and torque on a 88 GTU... and what should i be runnin on the 1/4 mile???
