I really don't understand WHY you're building a TII.....YOU DO realize that MAZDA made TII's right? SO you're gonna reinvent the wheel. It'll set you back about $2-3K, I'm in Daytona So I know. It's about $1k for the engine alone, not to mention the harness, and all the miscelaneous stuff. It's worth it, if you could do it yourself. But besides the engine bay you need the tranny, and whole rearend. For the same money you could get a TII. Sell or part out your N/A and use that to build the TII...for reliability. IF you have to ask here...you're really in over your head. This is much more tedious project than most people think. The choice is yours, best of luck.

my question is wat compression i should be aiming at at wats the lowest i should exept when i have him do the compression test and is there anything i should be keeping my eye out when buying this stuff and the shell
because im ive been looking for a s5 tII and didnt find anything so i might as well make one for a reasonable price not breaking bank

You need to search the forum! Common sense will tell you about the motor your buying (broken parts, missing pieces, etc...). what is the guy asking for? swapping a TII is not that expensive or hard. It's really easy. Doing it yourself will save you LOTS of money, if not, you'll probaly be better off looking for a TII. I've done the swap, so trust me. SEARCH! SEARCH! SEARCH!
