Hi guys!

I`m new here and have some questions to ask for you experts !

I have a -86 n/a that I bought with a complete ,new-built, streetported, engine on the side !

The original engine runs great but I can´t help thinking what the car would be like with the other engine inside

The number-one question for you guys is, do I need a standalone management system to run a streetported 13B ? The builder of my second motor says it´s a must and, because of that, it just sits and wait for the other engine to "grow old".... nice problem but still,,,, what do you think ? it´s ofcours a miny issue aswell as a TII-swap might be more interesting,,

I have read about rear-ends with an LSD beeing labeled with a tag, anyone knows where to look for that tag ? obviously on the housing but i have two complete rear-ends and non of them with a tag.

As I´m from Sweden you have to excuse my English and the car is ofcours Euro-spec so it might differ !

/Best regards, Per from Sweden

 

A Standalone may be excessive in your case, but some fuel management will be needed. You could get away with an Rtek or some S-AFC and be fine, plus save ya some dough!

 

Yup, what tex said.

Where in Sweden are you from? My family lives in and around Stockholm and Vasteras.

 

I'd listen to Tex. I had a very similar thread about a streetported engine and what was needed. And that was the general agreement.
*Edit* here is that thread

The tag on the LSD diff (if still present) would be held on by the oil fill bolt. A lot of times, these are lost during an oil change.

An easy way to check, I hear, is to turn one of the half shafts (that would go to the wheels). If the other side turns the same direction you have an LSD.

 

Hi and thanks !

I´m from the Malmo-area down south.

I´ll have to try to locate the things you mentioned and maybe dig in to it some day. What are the prices in the states for these things ?, E-bay ??

Thanks!

I´ve looked at it and have to try to find someone in Sweden or maybe order directly from the states. It should be the stage 2 chip I guess but am I done then ? nothing else needed ??hmmm.. will continue to read :-)

Thank you Sindregutt ! I have read your thread about crashing and rebuilding and I have to say that I´m very impressed !. I´m and old, well 44...) familiy-man that used to rally a lot so I know what it means to patch up, or even rebuild, a wrecked racer !. I know of the swedish expertice and I´m just collecting second opinions since, for now, I´m planning to keep the orginal engine as it runs just great but maybe a bit low on power...:-) to much is just about enough, right ?
