What you need: Easiest to have a TII donor car that is complete

Time and money

 

www.rotaryresurrection.com (Home of the affordable rebuild) is a fantastic site, with a lot of tech information, and TII swap info. There is a link off the main page (upper right i think) for the swap.

 

thanks a bunch, but has anyone does this exact swap?...how hard is it really to do? thanks for everyones time.

so many people have done this swap that S5 TII parts are harder to find because of it. I have not, someone has, you should search.

 

I just did a TII swap into my 90 GXL last month. Couldn't have been easier. Of course, I have alot of help in my area. To be honest though, all I needed was this forum and all my questions were answered. If you need any specifics, let me know.

Really though, I don't know why so many people have so many problems, it was basically drop in and go.

 

We really need to setup something that prevents people from posting unless they view the faq.

 

Sorry, to answer your questions-

-TII engine (rebuilt longblock, preferrably not a Jspec)
-TII harness (not Jspec, not long enough)
-downpipe
-FD or better fuel pump
-boost gauge

After those basic things, you are up and running. The level of your build depends on the power you intend to make.

Sorry, I'm drunk and trying to help instead of being an ***, I'm in rare form.

But you are right.

 

I'm in the middle of a turbo II swap into my convertible and it's pretty simple. The hardest part is finding parts since my donor car had some missing things. It's taken me about a month so far, but that is in between work and school. I'd say I have a total of 1 and a half total days in it and about another two days full of work left to do it. If you've got two or three buddies and a full weekend, you could knock it out rather quick.
