should i do a t2 swap on my GTUs or should i just rebuild the stock motor with a streetport and racingbeat race rotors and all??

 

sacrrilidge..... street port the N/A motor. Thats one 7 I think that should be kept N/A.

 

dont go turbo, keep it N/A, will cost less to street port it

 

If you have a totaled TII( like me) and you have a GTUs (like me) do the swap......but if you are going to go out of your way to find parts....and all that Bullshit then I say; It is not worth it. Do the rebuild if it needs it...then do drivetrain....clutch, lilghtweight flywheel....then suspension....then external mods....

 

if you really really have a GTUs then leave it N/a, if its any other n/a i say swap it

 

It depends on your circumstance really. If it is your only car and you want longevity and reliability then keep it n/a. If you just need it for fun, turbo the bitch!

 

yes i really really have a GTUs

 

you will be so much happier with a turbo swap, its so much more fun to have torque and a lot more horsepower. coupled with the 4.3 diff, and its like it was meant to be. screw the purists!!!

 

how did you get the stock tranny to match up to the TII motor? I was told they didn't match.......

 

they bolt right up, as long as you use an NA flywheel and clutch

 

really? hmmmmmmm.......wtf........i was told it didn't........is it strong enough to withstand the power of the TII motor?

 

What you were told was that the DRIVELINE won't bolt up to the the motor, and that's true, it won't. The NA transmission however does bolt right up to the 13BT(same exact bolt pattern) and as long as you use the NA driveshaft, differential, and halfshafts, you're fine. But you can't mix-and-match. For example, you can't use the GTUs tranny with the turbo driveshaft and the turbo diffy and halfshafts. The reason being the driveshaft is the incorrect length to reach the tranmission and differential. Got it?

oh, ok Thanks........I learn something new everyday....Thanks you guys.

 

as for the durability of the NA trans, ive been using it with my T2 motor from the start, and ive had no problems at all. its seen some very hard launches too.

edit: :knocks on wood:

 

nice....

 

If its going to ba a just for fun car, and you have easy access to the parts then do the turbo swap, otherwise just do the rebuild. While it won't be as fast as a modified T-II, NA's can still be quite fast. Also, its far cheaper and easier to modify a NA than a turbo.

 

Wrong, totally wrong, for the same amount of power the turbo engine will always come out on top as being the cheapest.

 

i think he meant cost of mods in general and the install....very few people do their own turbo set up from what i hear anyways

 

Ive ate turbos alive and **** them out as a flame

i vote heated N/A

i'm just messin around... much respect to the turbo guys
but i really did beat a few T2's around here.... with a downpipe... rest were stock... sad...
