Installing a 85 SVO engine in a 92 LX Convertible

[KenneBell]

Here are a few questions not covered in my swap info,

1: Should I swap alternators and use the alternator from the 92?

2: Why are there two fuel pressure regulators? One on the rail and one mounted externally? It is a gold bosch that plugs into the fuel in side not the return side right?

3: What is that little solenoid looking device with two rubber hoses on it going to the intake and exhaust side of the turbo it has a factory label attached to it that reads "Do not alter the lengths of the hoses or diameter of the hoses, 15" length......"

4: I know I have to re-pin the computer harness and distributor icm and vane meter but is there anything in the install I should be very carefull about or any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!!!

the thing with the 2 vac hoses is the boost controller solenoid, ditch it and run a manual boost controller

Use the 92's alternator...that's what your harness is set up for.

That line fuel thing is a pulse dampner...not a regulator...it just smoothes out the flow from the pump.
