All depends on your cars spec and who sets it up for you.

 

Hey AggieDave,
lol.. wish I could answer your question but I dont know much about these things yet... I was just wondering about ur car. you did a 87 13b swap to a T2? I'm planning to do the same. I was wondering on how much u spent and how many parts u need to replace... and what other mods u have put in to make such big numbers thx

 

i think he just did a s5 conversion. . . its cosmetics. .. unless he went with the engine and turbo too. it doesnt look like he went turbo from non... to me anyways. haha.

i have a 85 12a gsl 4 port bridged with a racing beat intake and a holley 650 on it.. full exhaust no cats... runnin mid to high 13's and ive had it since late 2000

 

Yea I personally know Dave and he did a S5 into his 87 and it was a turbo motor. As far as the turbo or anything, ill let him post about that.

 

30 to 40k max if it hasn't **** by then you should have it rebuilt regaurdless

 

I have an 87 Turbo II that i put the 89-91 motor in (series 5). Here are a list of mods:

Series 5 Motor
*G-Force Computer (for sale with 89-91 harness with AVC-r, AFC, Rebic hook ups; Great for a Series 5 Swap)
*Haltech (in the works)
*680 Secondaries
*2 additional 550's
*Rebic 3 /w simulator
*Greddy VSPL FMIC
*Fluidyne Radiator
*AVC-R
*T04-r
*HKS Cast Manifold
*HKS Standard Wastgate
*Greddy Type R- BOV
*Racing Beat Turbo-Back
*Competetion Diff-mounts

I have not even heard of or seen a 500hp 13b last for over 18k let alone 600hp. What do usually here "Awe my newly street ported single popped on the dyno or while I was tuning it etc etc". Your biggest factor will be tuning. I could almost guarantee you that a seal would break before the engine would wear out.

 

where's RICE RACING when you need him?

 

The almighty Aussies and New Zealanders do unbelievable things to the venerable 13b, but what about here in U.S? Bringing up "Rice's car" is like all the people who say " Yeah 7's run high 10's and low 11's on twins!" Wyum a 10.98 and Anthony 11.1 who else? Yes, it's possible to have 600bhp, but very rare just like running low elevens or high tens on twins.
