do you guys think $3000 is enough for a t2 swap?? I m located in philly ...anyone knows? any recommend shop to do it?thank you

 

i mean included the labor and complete engine and tranny...

 

$3000 is good if you do it your self.

 

seems about right

 

...but i dunno how to do engine swap

 

really want to get a t2 swap .... anyone in here charge cheaper for the swap?

 

Go to KDR 8408 Kistler Valley Road.New Tripoli,PA 19066 Tel. 610-298-1946 Ask for Dave. Owner Trust me very good mech..and cheap price.... My friends and I travel 2hrs from new york city to see this guy..please trust me,you will not find better then him...

 

engine, trans, and rear end?
with supplying everything?

I don't know about $3000, unless you happen to find someone who maybe already has the parts or a donor car for cheap?

 

For 3000 labor and all Call Chuch at Function 7 he's got something going that make me change my mind about doing a turbo II swap. Check the thread on the Function 7 BBQ. If you make it there do it.

 

ahh yes redlineracer knows the deal.Its what we do at Function 7

 

where is function 7 located at? is it like a group or something or just a shop?

 

engine + transmission-$1500
drive shaft-$100
ecu +wire harness-$300
differential-$300
TII hood-$200
that alone is -$2400 and thats not including the small stuff.
labor would be something like $80 an hour + 8 hours or more
To be more realistic (unless you get these parts for dirt cheap) i would save up about $4000 or go the smarter rout and sell the N/A and buy a TII.
its just my opinion.

function 7 is located in long island NY contact chuch 1-516-523-4833

 

function 7 is a shop we do really good work there check out the blog in my signature shows
alot of the work we do there and bbq's that we had.

 

what is mean rear end when the people mention about the engine swap?

 

rear end is the differential. you can use the N/A differential but it is not strong if you are going to be aggressive with the car. you have two choices. you can go with the S5 turbo II lsd or the S4 clutch type lsd. if you are planing on drag racing the car i would suggest the S4 turbo Lsd if you want to track the car i would go with the S5.

the difference between the clutch type and the helical S5 type is that The clutch-type LSD responds to drive shaft torque.The S5 helical limited slip differential does not lock the two output shafts to spin at the same rate so it is better for road racing.

i have a clutch type lsd on my FD because my intent is to drag race it.

 

diffs are usually expensive unless u find someone selling one cheap.Not too many ppl out there selling a t2 rear.

 

to tell u freddy ran the na trans and the na rear for about three years on a stock motor. with a t72 no standalone . just a piggy back i plan to show how the the 6port turbo set works great on the stock ecu . at the next bbq . lets just see how we do at the bbq with the 6port set up .

 

hey chuchrx7, do you have any t2 complete swap package?

 

TPG Tuning Blairsville PA - 724 675 8235. Ask to speak with Super Duper Hairy Caveman (their rotary specialist) dont know how far that is from philly, but the guys there do great work and probably even have some parts you will need for a swap.

 

I have a s5 t2 motor,trans,ecu,stock turbo for sale.. i was gonna do the swap but dont have the time.. $1100 for it all

 

^great price how many miles on the motor makes me wanna buy it.

 

consrx7.....very interested at your engine....pm'ed you

 

is it still in the car running or is it all ready out of the car

 

Too bad you don't live closer to me. I would help you source everything you need and install for around $3000, maybe a little more. I'm about an hour north of Pittsburgh pa.

 

z3r01gnal ...maybe i can drive up there...what u think?
