Hi. I bought my fc in august 08, the engine blown after a couple of hours riding, she overheated. now I am going to do a TII Swap.

 

Hey man, sounds like my exact situation. I just pick one up and the motor is on the way out. I'm also want to throw a TII in it. Let me know where you source the engine and exactly how you plan on doing it. Are you going for an S4 motor or an S5?

 

Hi. I will Put a S4 engine cause it's the easiest way to go. I will try to keep my NA Tranny cause a custom driving shaft would cost too much for my budget. I want to know if i can keep my NA exhaust with removed cats?(only until summer) The engine I've found is a JDM S4 TII, in Montreal. I will do all the job by myself.

 

very nice

 

Nice, i'm also looking at getting a jdm s4 motor from a company in montreal. I'm not sure if i wanna do it though cause the idea of getting an engine that hasn't run in years scares me.

 

goodluck with the swap man get a donor car that's probably the easiest way

 

I believe thats an 86 base, GXLs came in 5 lug and thats a four lug car. Don't run the N/A tranny, you'll blow it man its really not worth it. Mazdatrix sells the correct driveshaft to go from the TII tranny to the N/A rear end and that would be your best best. Good luck bro and looking good.

 

Thanks. I cant wait to do it I will check on my insurance papers if its a gxl. But theres GXL stickers on the fenders.

 

Hmm okayy, Here's an update of my car thread LOL
I really changed my plans.

Last summer My FC had a S5 NA engine. In october 2009, I had a coolant leak, and overheated my engine.(2nd Time lol)
I wanted something ultimate, and my FC was not a good DD.
So I bought a RX8 for a DD and did not swap my FC.
since I want something ultimate, this weekend I'm getting a 20B, a complete TII Drivetrain and a ACT proLite flywheel.

 

Hey. Another Update.

Homemade 13B PeriPort, runs good
