Ok, so I'm planning to do a TII swap into my 88' GTU this winter. I've complied a parts list, and I want to make sure I have everything.

TII Engine
TII Transmission
N/A Harness (going to modify it)
All other wiriing
TII ECU
Mazdatrix Custom drive shaft (using my stock diff.)
Tanabe 3" Downpipe
TII Hood


Am I missing anything?

 

TII throttle cable
TII hood, or FMIC

 

map sensor, maf, clutch/flywheel, slave cylinder

 

Throttle Cable is included.
TII hood added to the list.

 

MAP sensor added. Clutch and flywheel come with the tranny. Can I use my n/a MAF?

EDIT: Map sensor included with the engine, as well as all other sensors

 

boost gauge u really dont need it but its a good idea

 

Well Im going to be running stock boost so :/

Plus this is just for initial stuff at the time of the swap.

 

you need a turbo maf and probally a better fuel pump.

 

I'm assuming this is a S4? You can use the NA AFM but it's not recommended since it's calibrated for lower airflow. A little money now saves money later. If it's a S5, i'm not sure the compatibilty.

 

I strongly suggest getting the vac/boost gauge. It can help in diagnosing a vac leak, or boost issue once you get the swap going. Its one of those "piece of mind" items.

I agree with the fuel pump too. even tho you got low miles on the car, its NA and ITs 20 years old.

Makes sense. List updated

 

Need the boost sensor too.

I would add turbo half shafts, but you are using the stock rear end.

 

TII MAF for sure. It'll run on the N/A MAF, but once you hit boost things get wonky, since the 2 MAFs are calibrated for different amounts of airflow.

 

TII MAF added.

 

Any suggestions on boost gauges?

 

cheap - autometer

expensive - greddy/defi

 

No middle ground? And I'm assuming it's a you get what you pay for kinda thing.

 

well i would say autometer is the middle ground. they seem to be pretty solid. i have 12 of them in my 2 fc's haha.

 

Here's my list from the swap I just completed:

Engine & Transmission
Transmission Crossmember/Mounts (if not with trans)
Slave Cylinder
Mazdatrix Driveshaft (NA diff to Turbo trans)
N332 ECU
NA EM Wiring Harness
Injector Resistors (6 ohm from Mouser Electronics)
Throttle Cable
Boost Sensor (MAP)
Knock Control Box (didn't use)
Downpipe
Air Flow Meter (AFM)
Intake Tube
FD Fuel Pump
BOV
Clutch & Pressure Plate
Rtek 1.7/1.8/2.1 or AFC
720cc injectors (2 or 4)
Autometer Boost Gauge (all my gauges are Autometer)

Other notes:
Keep the NA power steering setup (if you want PS),
Toss the knock box (useless)
Toss the ASV (NA harness has no plug)
Use a US-spec LIM if emissions testing needed
Get a S5 turbo (so much better than the S4)

 

Will I got a glowshift boost gauge for sale. ****, I got oil press, water temp and boost gauge for sale. All glow shift ( I never had an issue with them at all just running thier newer products.) PM me if you want them.

 

how much does everything cost to do a full t2 swap on a n/a.

 

At minimum about 2000$

 

Plan for $3000+ depending on how much you buy new vs. used.
