n/a to turbo 2 swap

I've been looking for an hour and can't find a thread for the swap.
I have these questions basically.
What all is needed to do a swap.
I have 87 n/a rx7 want to put a turbo 2 motor into it.
Can i use a engine/tranny/ecu/harness from a s5 rx7 or s4 would be alot easier?
What all components will I need for successful swap ei: engine/tranny/driveshaft/etc?
thanks

SEARCH again.. trust me theres PLENTY of threads on this..


if you want the swap to go easy..

basically just get a S4 T2 engine(87-88= s4)( so every thing wires up)
your going to need the boost sensor, t2 fuel pump or a walbro 255 pump, ecu and harness(s4 t2)


get the t2 drive train... trans, driveshaft, lsd and half shafts.

your going to need a t2 hood unless you are going with fmic or something..

I can't read your sig I need ten post lol. I found a thread earlier stating you don't have to be in series or swap drive trains. He just took the counter weights and flywheel off the n/a motor and put it on the turbo motor so he didn't have to swap tranny or difs is that right?

In that case, you don't have the required intelligence level to perform a swap yourself. About 3% of the population is retarded, so don't take this as an insult, as it's not your fault. I suggest that you have a professional shop perform the work.
