I know this is a noob question, and i searched but my computer is slow, so it isnt really helping.

I bought a JDM engine today, the motor looks pretty good it was the best one at the warehouse.

The intercooler has a few bent rows in it, is that ok?

The throttle body butterflys kinda stick and have a delay when pressing full throttle.

Do I need the t2 coil packs, or are they the same.

It has a mazda oil filter on it, should i be worried it never got its oil changed, or be glad they used a mazda product? haha

And anyone know where to get a t2 driveshaft and rear end or ecu harness? I looked in the classifieds and didnt find one.

I picked up a s5 turbo motor, for my 91 gxl.

 

mazdatrix.com for the driveshaft. they make an NA to turbo driveshaft thats perfect.

thats the gamble you took when you bought a used JDM motor

compression test it. its easy, you dont even need to install it to check it.

bent fins is fine. bend them back with a toothpick or something like that.

ps. check the oil.....

 

oh i know it was a gamble. but i rather check out a warehouse locally, than get one shipped.

I thought about it, but if i was gonna spend 300 dollars for the NA to turbo driveshaft, I might as well buy the rear end and a driveshaft. sure that will cost me more but i will have a LSD for about the same price.

i already looked under the intake manifold, and didnt find that much carbon junk. Checked the turbo for play, Bench tested the tranny. The engine had some coolant in it. So the insides hopefully not rusted.

Oh yeah a couple more questions came to mind, the oil coolers are the same right? and im also looking for a s5 AFM.
