theBurlyone

How many people have done this and how hard is it. I can't search right now because I'm at work so if you guys could hold off on the insults this time. Also does anybody know of a good junkyard in San Diego that I can find a donor motor at?

i have seen one or two on here do it. With a few mods it can be done. Let me see if i can find it....

Thanks man I'll check when I get home. I've heard that the only difference is the pistons and the oil jets under them. Other than that I need an ECU, MAF, down pipe, and metal head gasket. Am I missing anything?

I have done it twice, The only thing you need is a complete engine. I would not waste mt time they havent made them since 87 I think I so if you would find one at a junk yard it would be worn out and a complete rebuild would need to be done. As for parts the radiator and AFM are different. The radiator has a nipple at the top for a coolant hose for the turbo and the afm has a stiffer setting on the spring for the flow meter. It is possible to have a nipple put in, and adjust the spring on the AFM for more tension. The only other part is the intake from the AFM to the turbo which can ne made at home very easily.
