I have an 82 gs with a blown 12a engine and im looking to install a 13b turboII engine. Does anyone know of a good place in Ontario to by these motors. I also need the tranny, ECU, and uncut wireing.

Sorry man, I'm new on this forum and I don't know my way around yet. Thanks for the info tho.

 

Your best option might be to Google for JDM ipmorters. I believe there is one one in Canada.

Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. In my sig line is the usual welcome, with links to the online FSMs, carb manual, and other rotary related materials.

Fwiw, your question about a 13BT swap is one of the top 3 that every new member asks for thier 1st post.

Just remember,that 13BT engines can be a gamble,so dont jump on the first one you see, without being cautious.
Many here,are worn out or tired.If you frequent wrecking yards,then look for a car that was wrecked,as thats a good sign that it ran before its demise.American engines are the easiest to swap since the wiring harness is configured for left hand drive chassis.They also will be up to US smog specs,if thats an issue.Getting everything from one vehicle makes it easier to know that you got everything,and that its all compatible(there are 2 styles of S4 and 1 style of S5,for a total of 3 different 13BT engines)

Japanese engines can be low milage,but also can be pretty beat up,since many are modified and theres little incentive for the owners to take care of the engine since they are required to change the engine out on a regular basis.Most J-spec engine suppliers will offer a warrantee,but its usually time based,and since you doing a 1st gen swap,and not a simple install into a TII,the warrantee might run out before you actually finish and establish if the engine is any good or not.

 

Steve's dead on about buying any jspec engine with a grain of salt. I should have mentioned that. Me, personally, if I bought one, I would also budget for a full rebuild, and do it, just to make sure the install lasted for more than a few months. This also gives the option of porting and upgrading for more hp from the start. Depending on how much porting and upgrades are done, it may pay off on the long run to buy only the engine, intake and tranny.

It doesn't take much in the way of upgrades to put one where they need a bigger turbo, exhaust mani, injectors, fuel pump and standalone ecu. 275 is near the limit for an S4, or in Steve's case, about 300 for an S5.
