i have a 1987 gxl, i'm looking for info from those who have done it. i want to know, around how much it will cost to do, and everything i will need to swap to do it. any info is greatly appreciated.

 

SEARCH

 

nice sign

 

good call on the sign. haha, anyways, im not here to flame on the kid. you can turbo any car, you can get any car in the 10s if you have enough of that magic stuff called good ol' green back. if you are truley in "love" with your car, turbo it, you may not get as much boost due to the compression, but, you can swap out a motor with a "J-spec" one, or just run low boost. most lazy asses will tell you "sell your car, get a turboII....... " do what you want, there is always more than one way to skin a cat, have phun.

 

hey felix, eat a dick, i was just wondering, and i don't spend all my time on this forum, so i didn't want to do a search. roy, i think it would be worth my time to swap it instead of buying a turboII since it sat in my garage for around 10 months or so. anyways i guess since i will get no help here and the replies i get are all smart assed comments, i will do a search which won't give me much info.

 

yeah, everyone on here frowns on a swap, maybe affraid of hard work? i dont know, there are a few people that have done a swap, or turboed their N/A, do a search on a guy named VtekEater i think it is, or something similar, PM me if you need any help, im considering the swap myself. good luck

 

In the Search area write in KABOOSKI. He wrote a detailed post on how to do it. KABOOSKI is the guys name.

 

OH YEAH, i have read that write up like 20 times, i dont know how i could forget, doh! heh heh

 

for the umpteenth time, please refrain from asking such questions...if you want a tll, buy a tll!

 

if you dont want to read the post, dont click on the link, thats the point of a forum, is to ask questions and get answers from other people

 

Can I ask you the same question 30 times in one week? Maybe you'd get tired of it then too....

 

ive done the swap.. 86 (gxl equivilant), with an engine from a 90 TII...

its not that bad really, and **** its worth it in the end!

BUT, by the time you do it.. you'll want to modify it for better performance.. its probably better to get an old stock TII and modify that...

how much time do you have spare? go that v8 swap everyone likes to hear about
