twin turbo swap
i just found a guy with a 93 twin turbo engine that needs a rebuild but the turbos are good. I am thinking about putting it into my 1st gen but have a few questions first. Where can i find a computer for it and is the 12a tranny strong enough for every day driving with that engine or do i need a turbo tranny?

I was begining to wonder on this 13b-rew deal, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into, and the path will be paved with $$$'s and a LOT of them at that!

* stock 13BREW engine and tranny
* stock 3rd gen ECU.
* Harness came from 3rd gen and was stripped of any wires/connection not needed.
* 3rd gen radiator and fans. ECU fan switch setup to run both fans.
* Custom oil cooler.
* Custom exhaust works.
* Engine mount/subframe fabrication.
* Tranny mount fabrication.
* Modified drive shalft to make it work with 3rd gen tranny and FB rearend.
* 3rd Gen gas tank.
* Misc electrical work for the car dials/gauages.
The car is quick with the twin turbo setup and sure is a sleeper.
Here's picture of the initial swap.
