Okay, in a nut shell What would I need? (manifold, head, dizzy???) The Turbo motors in my area are mostly incomplete.
Yes, I know search is my friend, but I'm sure some bright individual here could rattle off a list by memory :D and save me tons of time :p
What is the difference between the 87-88 turbo coupe and a T3 turbo.....
I got a 89 coupe with low miles.....If I change pistons (forged) Would this be acceptable for 300+ HP
Thx
 
87-88 TC's are IHI's. Shuck that and pick up an earlier T3.
The pistons are the difference in the motor.
You'll need an ECU, VAM, Injectors, etc.

Just get a donor car and pull everything from it, wheel the cherry picker around and drop it into Your car.

Turboford.org is Your NEW BEST FRIEND.

I was quoted 850 today for a complete engine and ECU..sounds a little high :( considering I only paid 500 for my ride. Another quote was for 150 ( long block)....looked a little rough to me :nonono:
