A few newbie Questions
I'm planning on buying a rx this winter to do a turbo II swap in the spring.
Trying to learn as much as i can about this swap before i go ahead and buy the car.
Just wondering a few questions.
My researching and talking to a buddy thats done it has got me to this point.
This is the engine i will probably buy http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/prod...roducts_id=139
If anyone can correct me on the follwoing it would be appreciated
I plan on using the stock tranny for next summer, and upgrading later on to turbo II tranny, new driveshaft and bigger turbo/stand alone ECU etc.
This engine will bolt right up to the stock tranny correct? and i will need a new clutch thats bigger? also if i end up with a gsl-se i will need to relocate the turbo with a modded down pipe correct? and with a gsl the turbo should clear the unibody frame rail?
I should be able to just plug the turbo II ECU and engine harness to the car and thats it for wiring?
Now also i will need to transfer the motor mounts, oil pan, and front cover from the old 13b to the new engine? and i need turbo II coils?
Will there be modification needed for the throttle cable, gauge wires etc to work with the new engine?
What kind of power should i expect? 200-210hp. 0-60 between 6.0-8.0seconds?
also i was wondering a rough pricing for the things i know about right now that i'll have to buy
car 3500$
engine 1300$
clutch 250$
coils 50$
I'm probably missing alot here but some filling in and correction would be appreciated!
