engine swap
im looking to either turbo charge my current engine or drop a TII engine in. i was wondering if anyone has heard of people doing this and where i might find a company that sells kits for doing it.

i know japanese motorsports sells engine tranny and all the electrics you need. www.japanesemotorsport.com/au. im not sure about motor monts though. check in a junkyard to see if the turbo motor mounts will bolt up to your N/A. if not then do a search

Uhmm, swapping for a TII in an N/A requires quite a bit. Tranny, clutch, flywheel, driveshaft, both rear axles, rear diff.... and of course the engine and ECU. They say you need the brake booster of a TII also.... All the TII stuff is a lot beefier than N/A components. There is a way around some of it.. You don't have to use the rear end off the T2, just have to hack the driveshaft, shorten it about an inch and weld it back together 
so no, can't just drop the motor in and get 215hp j-spec style.
How do i know?
Well, my car is an N/A to TII conversion

the shipping will be astronomical and for the price they selll it plus shipping it will be over a grand.
go with nippon it will be under 850-950 shipped and you get a 30day warranty

like they said, only reason for a conversion is if its a vert and you only want the vert or if it has sentimental value, or possibly alot of interior work and bodykits and paint and ****, other than that, just buy a T-II
