Got a 89 TurboII
I was told the guy that had the car got it from a one owner and he blew the motor,he told me he put a jdm motor in it after that??? and he left it at a mechanic friend of his for 18 months.The guy could not figure out how to wire it something about the harness was wrong or bad.I have not had time to check it out yet myself.Hopefully its not a big problem and I can get her on the road this summer the motor from what he said was good.Its in good shape other than it being filthy from sitting for so long.

 

Man, that 'vert has been in more hands than a 2 dollar hooker! LOL!

 

Not a vert...

 

Brian is talking about the vert we had.I traded it for the tII and I got 1500 cash.
A deal I could not pass up

 

looks good. good luck with it

 

If you can't, I can. I know the stock harness like the back of my hand, and have done plenty of swaps.

How's the v8 coming along?

 

I am taking my time on the swap.Brian got me a Procharger for it so the bitch should be pretty damn impressive when completed.
He I might call you up for some help with the TII of course I got the cash for some help.

 

keep us posted. looks good. good luck

 

I want to do one of the magnusson roots type chargers but it won't fit without a cowl

oh well, I think n/a for now is just fine. let me know if ya need a hand.

 

That TII needs some LS6 Roy!

 

Ls6? Thats an older motor,the gxl is getting a ls2 better power ,and more torque
than the ls6.The tII is staying the way it is.

 

Ok so when you gonna take some pics of some of dem sexy girls u know to stand by that car.. U know sexy girls make a car look better

 

Wait? What? GXL getting LS2? When did this happen? Good luck with that.

 

That's just a cam swap worth of difference

 

Word!

 

9 hours of compounding,buffing and not close to being done.Still have under the trim to do.The interior though came out great give it a 8 out of 10.

 

looking good.

Help guys
The jspec motor came in today and I was checking it out and it has a oil filter pedestal on it at least thats what it looks like.2 holes in the side one looks like it was used for something the other is buttoned up.w.t.f?? Its my guess I could use it to run an oil pressure guage.Its a stock turbo so I dont see why they would run a line to the turbo.If anyone here has any suggestions let me know or at least tell me why they would add this.

 

If it's a plate on top of the stock pedestal (or in place) chances are it's for oil temp/pressure. Mazdatrix makes a plate like that, so does(did) Speed machine

 

thanks ,ya I checked out mazdatix its exactly like theres.Thanks for the info

 

Motor is almost ready to go in!

 

Damn, you did all that since I was there the other day? It should be running by the weekend! I'm gettin' the fuel pump and the twin should fire this weekend!

 

Been working on it a couple of hours every night.
