Turbo Engine VS NA Engine
Hi, I am a sports car enthusiast and would like to get into the 2nd Generation Turbos (Turbo IIs) for a project car. I want something fast and am thinking about the possibility of buying a body and doing an engine overhaul. Is a 13B engine the same engine they use for the Turbo and NA? If not is an overhaul much work to put a Turbo 13B in a NA car? I know there are a lot of things to mess with i.e. electrical wiring harnesses, downpipe, maybe even the tranny...

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Why dont you try looking in the 2nd gen archive. There should be detailed adn definitive answers there. IF not do a search for posts in 2nd gen specific for turbo conversion.
I would answer your question, but I have done so already 4 times this week for other newbies. Maybe someone else feels froggy enough to explain it all again?

Where at in VA are ya? I got a TII! Can't blame ya, around richmond, you can find NA's with with near 100k miles for around 2-2.5K...If you could find a TII (dead preferably-its cheaper!) and swap a rebuilt or jspec motor in, that'd be the way to go. NA-TII is alot of parts, alot of work.
