Engine Swap ?'s
Hey rotary gods... I need some answers for an engine swap from a 13B to a 13BT in an 88SE. Im getting it from Nippon-Motors and I have researched my brain out for the past month whenever I had time to see what the minimum is I'll need along with it to get it going but I still have some questions for my model I need answered...
-Can I use the stock wiring harness with minor mods
-Will the engine bolt up to the stock trans
-Can I use the N/A ECU to run it
-Will I need an electric fan or will the 13BT's fit in the engine bay
-Do I Need the TII hood to fit the top mounted intercooler on the 13BT
I'm just looking to get it running asap because they only give you a month to make sure its in working order before you can't return it anymore. Im sure it will be but still...I'd like to be prepared

do a search...not to single you out but this question gets asked like every other day so people in here are sick of explaining it. Kabooski, and sledgehammer did good write ups on it.

Are you putting a S4 13bt, or an S5.
The ECU's are entirey different, so while you are replacing that, you might as well replace the harness.
It will bolt to the tranny as far as I know, but it won't handle the power of the BT for long
The fan will fit
You will need the hood, or a FMIC.

just be careful when wiring it up, it's probably brittle as hell. you may need to get the TII rearend also, so you get the lsd and a stronger drivetrain in general. i've got a link around somewhere, let me gets it out right quick.

ah, there it is. good luck with the swap, and ohyeah, you'll obviously need a boost gauge, recofigure your tach/go aftermarket. tons of things to consider.
