Ok so i got my 89 gxl but its n/a and i want to turn it into a turbo WITHOUT swapping. I found one guy but he seems kind of sketchy so im out here looking for someone in Miami or near(ft laudy etc.) You dont have to own some fancy shop or anything but if you do hey kudos to you. If you can do it and are interested in making some money pm me or post here and ill get to you as soon as i can

 

way better off with just a swap. just saying

 

I could do that but I rather just have the feeling of knowing that the motor isn't a swap

 

Has your motor been rebuilt recently?

 

Yeah when I had it ported about a month ago it was rebuilt as well

 

It would be a lot less expensive and a better solution to find a clean TII. Converting your GXL to turbo by a reputable shop will cost big bucks. But if money is not a problem, SpeedSource, Inc. (www.speedsourceinc.com) in Sunshine, FL can do the job for you. There are other shops in the Miami area as well.

 

How much is this feeling worth to you? Are you willing to pay 10x the amount for someone to build a custom turbo system, or 2 - 3 times the amount for someone to adapt the TII stuff to fit the NA block?

 

heres a bunch of shops in the sfl area

ive thougt of doing the swap before but just to begin with a good TII motor tranny and wiring harness are over a 1k tben to get the swap done itll be another k if not more. im still debating on it but it really comes down to getting it all done at the right price

 

If $1K is your budget, save up more money. There is no way you will make a decent, reliable and non-ghetto turbo-NA setup for around $1K (queue a thousand people to now tell me I am wrong...all of which have blown up their turbo-NA setups...).

You won't be able to do a good TII swap for $1K, nor will you be able to make a turbo-NA setup.

 

sell your car for 2500 .. buy a turbo 2 for 3500 ... rebuild for 1000

done

 

if you knew how to read i said over a k, cause i know that a full motor and tranny to do a swap is like about 1800 then to install it its about another 1000 maybr more and thats if the motor you buy doesnt need any work done to it but dont worry some way or another this motor will end up with a turbo

 

ok buy my car then


and selling my car is easier said then done
