Hey. I was wondering if you can bolt a 1990 turbo engine in to a 1987 body. And what other parts might i need. The engine came with the harness and transmission. any thing will help thanks

 

do a search because there a few people who have done this, the counter weights are different, you'll need the 90 wiring harness, and 90 ecu, and i think you'll be set

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Sure it can be done, but the wiring changes are basically a nightmare. Best to stick with your "series" of engine. Swapping S4/S5 and vice versa is a major hassle.

Now, you could put in the S5 block and run the S4 electronics, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the swap...

 

what will i have to rewire?

 

Everything.

 

Basically stick with your series engine unless you've got a standalone. If you've got a standalone and you're sticking with the stock turbo I'd highly suggest swapping up to an S5 turbo and engine, this is my setup and I love it.
