getting a turboII engine/ECU/Harness but don't want the trans from donor. Now I just bolted up a lightweight fly and centerforce II clutch on my NA, planning on swaping that to the TurboII motor, so will it bolt up and work with my NA trans?

 

tII motor will bolt with a n/a tranny if thats what you're asking. Thats what i have right now, feels just fine to me.

 

yes you can use the N/A stuff. but you need everything N/A, like flywheel, clutch, tranny, driveshaft, rear end and rear axles. i built a t2 using all N/A drivetrain parts, nothing has went wrong in over 1 year of beating the **** out of it. good luck and dont listen to anyone about not being able to do it or the N/A stuff is weaker. take it from me it works and it works well!!!!

 

You should use the TII tranny with the TII motor since its going to make more power you might want to stick with a better tranny

 

if your gonna go with t2 motor and what not, u need to get the t2 tranny, driveshaft, and rear-end...pm japan2la and ask him what he has along the lines of that u need. Peyman how long have you had your N/A tranny with the t2 motor??

 

thanks alot guys I knew it would work but just wanted to check. and typesarz, the reason I'm not using the TurboII trans is the previous driver shifted into 1st from 5th doing about 130 not with that motor though.

 

oops.. and broke the main shaft, speaking of which, anyone know where I can find a complete rebuild kit?

 

i've had mine for like 4 months, but i think they swap has been in there for quite a whole. The guy i bought the car defenately didn't do the swap. It was a mexican guy that didnt speak english.....so i was looking at the car and i asked how many cylinders? He replied, 4. I said, how do you know, where does it say? He pointed at the spark plugs lol.

It runs very strong though, after i put my new clutch in.

 

5th to 1st doing 130?????? Why would he ever do something like that?

 

cause he wins

 

Note a stock Series IV (86-88) 180HP Turbo II would probably be ok, but anything above that will eventually cause the NA transmission's main shaft teeth to wear down & break. That's with grannying the car.

 

he was testing his PP turboII with a turbo out of a Peterbuilt semi running on the bottle and racing fuel. He had it up to 194mph and was coasting down, went to downshift and the g-force knocked him around, not knowing he stuck it in 1st, paniced dump the clutch and hit the brakes. The sudden pressure on the motor blew the plugs out, went through the wheel well, and the turbo, well it disinigrated ruining his 2 day old custom CF hood, he's damn lucky he had a Halon setup on board or the fire would have never gone out. I'm see if I can get some pics for you guys.
