Swap my engine. I'll supply the engine and ecu and harness and all that to swap my 13B out of my 87 to put a 13BT in along with the tranny. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in doing this and I'll pay cash! Or if you guys know a shop that'll do it or friends for a good price. let me know! Thanks!

 

Do you have everything for the swap or just the Engine, trans, harness, and ECU?

Other things to note are the pressure sensor, driveshaft/diff/halfshafts, fuel pump, ect....

How much do you expect it to cost? If I was closer AND had the time I would quote you around $500-$1000 depending on the details. Ive done 13b swaps, rebuilds, frankinstien engines, I have a 4 car garage, floor lift, engine hoist, ect....

 

where were you a month ago!? i did a full t2 swap for a guy like 2 months ago.... cant do it now tho, im finally heading back to work on monday!

 

Damn! Well, if you could make it on the weekends ya know Haha. I might try to do it since I have spring break all next week..

 

If you were local i'd do it in a heart beat! Its really not hard but good luck!

 

if you have EVERYTHING shouldnt take you forever. hell a whole week should be plenty of time

 

I've never done it before though. I'm fairly new to rotary's too. So I have a couple questions for you guys. If I get a t2 tranny and engine, what wiring needs to change to fit to it? And, where can I get it done? Thanks!

 

Depends on if the engine is the same as your series, ie 87-88 engine in an 86-88, or 89-91 engine in 89-91. If you stay generation specific, at least on S4s the wiring is minimal. Strip the emission and you can count on one hand how many wires need to be fucked with. FWIW, do it yourself, it's easy and a great way to learn the car. BTW to run the TII trans you need the TII driveshaft/diff/axles or a TII-N/A driveshaft.

 

Okay, so would it be fine if I kept my NA tranny and build it to make it stronger? Would I still need a driveshaft in this case? And, would I then have to deal with more wire modification? Thanks for the help man I appreciate it!

 

its worth it to swap it out, cause in the long run it will pay off, you will rip the NA **** apart in no time at all... Thats just what i have found at least

 

The drive shaft from an auto has TII trans yolk and na flange with correct length

 

Do some research, get your parts, then PM me. I did mine last summer, did the full rear end swap too. I'm interested in helping you out or doing it.

 

the auto driveshaft is not the correct length, its too short, ive used one before you need to lengthan the drive shaft or get some kind of spacer on the rear diff to increase the length by at least an inch for it to be into the trany a reasonable length.


yeah one of the easier methods if your nto using emissions for wiring is to just use the na wiring harness and extend a few wires, like tps and bac. usuwally most t2 harnesses are real crispy after 20 yrs. and then jdm harnesses are completly diff.

 

^Ryan speaks truth. Don't swap wiring harnesses. Just keep your N/A harness.

 

Wow, I didn't know that. Is that what you did on the base model T2 swap? T2 engine/ECU with a NA harness?

My bad knew the ends were correct Assumed "made *** out of me" lenght, wont happen again

If you still want someone to help you with this, Id be glad to. I did a complete T2 drivetrain swap on my 86 base. engine, trans, diff, hubs, brakes, everything. If you have the things required like a lift or jackstands and a jack and an engine hoist, i can provide the other tools. if i did everything myself id only charge a few hundred dollars. i also have everything you need if you want to do a complete engine/trans swap. all the electronics and whatnot.
