big-phil Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I was up till 2:30am reading all the threads I could find mostly by PrOxLaMuS© about putting the turbo setup on to a n/a motor. As some of you have read I bought a turbo motor for $150 from a junk yard and come to find out after removing the head that the cylinder wall in #4 is scratched up pretty good and the top of that piston is a little messed up in one corner, long story short I can't use the turbo block. Now my wife already wants to kill me because I spent $150 on this "dam" car. so without spending as much as I can I'm going to turbo my very strong running (not to mention I put a new n47 head on last year) motor---thanks again PrOxLaMuS© From what I've read on this site this is what I'm going to take off the turbo and put on my n/a motor oil pan oil pump oil cooler oil line to the turbo turbo manifold, turbo, and downpipe injectors J pipe valve cover fuel pressure reg I don't have the turbo distrib, or AFM, computer, or fuel pump. It took alot of reading to find out that the dizzy is the thing inside the distrib that controls timming. and I understand that I can JB weld or modify my n/a dizzy so it wont advance under boost? HOWS THAT DONE?? This is an 82 turbo motor so it has that thing on the motor not in the ditrib?? do I need that? and you can richen the fuel mixture by adjusting the n/a AFM's teeth? HOWS THAT DONE?? Can I use my n/a ecu if I stay under 7 pounds of boost?? I just want to get all this stuff in to the car while shopping for wire harness and ecu from a turbo and i guess afm and ditrib? Thaks alot guys for all your help this site rocks and I've tried to do all my reading before posting. PLEASE let me no if there is something i'm missing in this swap.

big-phil Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 O.K. I just won an 82 turbo 5 speed (thats the black one right?) ECU off e-bay for $32 and I can get the turbo wire harness for $20 so now I'm looking for an AFM and distrib. PLEASE that has to be another Hybrid member out there that has done this that can help me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
