3rd gen rew into 2nd gen
does anyone know exactly what needs to be done to put a 3rd gen twin turbo motor into a 2nd gen car.
I know i will need the motor, wiring harness, ECU, and tranny from a third gen. What toher items will i need. Also what needs to be done in order to mount the engine and tranny (cut holes,cut firewall, design new mounts, etc.) I have the 2nd gen, the 3rd gen motor, tranny, and wiring harness.
I plan on getting a power fc for the computer.
Has anyone done this or does anyone know somebody who has done this.

Heres a thread about a guy who just finished his conversion. You might want to PM him for any details.

If it is a TII you won't need the tranny it will work fine and the bolt pattern is the same.If it is n/a you'll need a TII tranny.I think I saw apost on here that said the mounts on the 3rd gen trans. were different and it wasn'nt a direct swap.Also do a search on turbo conversions if it is a n/a 'cause there is a bit of stuff to do.
