You've got to run oil and coolant lines to the turbo (Not sure if the Chrysler turbos are water cooled) and if your car is carbureted, forget turboing it as boost + carbs is more trouble than it's worth, unless you want to build a draw-through setup, which is even more trouble. SPFI will probably work to a point, not sure how much boost they will take before they lean out. MPFI is somewhat easy to swap since the ECU is the same as the turbo cars, just needs a jumper in the harness cut.... (I might have that backwards) but the MPFI cars don't have the computer-controlled dizzy, at least the early ones don't, so you'll have to watch what gas you run and probably will have to retard the timing to keep it from detonating. Also what boost does the turbo you're using run at? if it runs 12 psi and you're putting it on a 9.5:1 MPFI engine, be prepared for blown head gaskets unless you do some engine work and intercool it. If your car is MPFI (Not many N/A cars were MPFI though) best bet would be to just swap the entire engine to a turbo engine. If it's SPFI, you can swap to a turbo engine and swap the wiring and ECU out of a turbo car, but if it's carbureted you'll have to swap the fuel pump and probably the fuel lines as the fuel injection system requires MUCH higher pressure than the carburetor. There are plenty of things you can do to an NA car to make it fast though, maybe not as much as you can do with a turbo car, but a decent exhaust sytem, free-flowing intake, and a set of NA cams from Delta Camshaft, and you're on your way to making some decent power. If your car is carbed, you can do a Weber swap and gain some horsepower there as well. And a turbo works by using the waste heat in the exhaust to spin a fan at very high speeds (in excess of 100,000 RPM) to compress the air going into the engine, but there are a lot of things that need to be done besides just bolting the turbo on.

My ex went with me once or twice, after that she always had an excuse, especially after I suckered her into going with me and Subaru Junkie lol, after that she never went. Jessica on the other hand, loves going wheeling, she got the legacy muddier than I did in the mud pit @ WCSS8 lol

That's a big obnoxious looking BOV.. Betcha makes the ricers stop pointing and laughing :-P That happened to Caboobaroo, he was rollin around in his RX and some ricers rolled up next to him at a light and were pointing and laughing and he revved his engine enough for the BOV to fire and he said they both got looks like "Oh, never mind... sorry for pointing and laughing" and grannied it off from the light lol... Silly Honda boys!

MAke sure you get the input shaft fully seated, it can be somewhat tricky, that hung me up on a 90 Legacy I put a new motor in a few months ago, torque converter would NOT go in any farther so I thought it was in all the way, turns out it wasn't. Luckily it didn't damage anything and the car drives fine now, but that input shaft was a BEAR to get in. When it's in all the way, the O ring will be close to the stator support. (Stator support is the splined shaft that sticks out of the transmission that the input shaft slides inside of.) When the T/C is in all the way, the flats for the bolt holes will be just below the mating surface of the bellhousing. Engine should slide together with the tranny completely fairly easily.

When this happened on my turbowagon, I replaced those bolts with stainless steel :-P And if the bolt broke off above the surface of the head, they have these nifty deals at Sears that you drive over the end with a hammer and then twist it out with a socket. Works on rounded off bold heads too!

I estimated mine @ about 16 or so, but that was at 7200' and timed with my CD player :-P It was bone stock except no muffler and I hollowed out the airbox. (and 15 psi due something bein f'ed up.. Not sure what, but my 88 XT engine runs 8psi lol..)

You could also get the bracket off of a 4WD car and weld it under there...

don't XT6s use timing marks on the crank pulley? If so, couldn't you use that for timing...

http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au I've got a set of plans for "The Bandit" which is I think what Sweet82 is running.. Haven't built anything yet though.

I dug in my tool box, found ONE lol...

I want one just for the RHD aspect, I'd do a 5 speed conversion though since I don't do automatics :-P

I think that's the designation, and the reason it won't fit is the turbo is gets in the way of the master cylinder or something to that effect... I don't know too much about them either, although they do pop up on ebay now and then...

You can take him to small claims court, if he was 51% or more at fault (and it sounds like he was!)

My rifle is a Russian Mosin-Nagant, named after the two men who designed it. More can be found on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin-nagant There is an article in Spanish at http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin-Nagant and one in Portuguese at http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin-Nagant (wasn't sure which one was your native language lol...)

it's a postal wagon, the guy who delivers my parents' mail has a 91, I keep buggin him to sell it to me :-P It's an automatic, but I'd take care of that... and stuff an EJ2xTT in there

I wouldn't REALLY shoot some low-life that was trying to steal my car... but I'd still come outside with my rifle and tell them to get the *$*#& away from my car! Now if I lived in Colorado or another state with a make my day clause, then yeah... but in Oregon they have to be in your house and threatening you with a weapon....

I'd either find a core buyer in your area that would buy it, or possibly a transmission shop would. If neither of those work out, find a community college in your area with an automotive program and donate it to them, that's what I did with a couple of my old trannies.

I used to have an 83 GL-10 sedan, watch the alternator in that if it goes out it will take out the digital dash! And GOOD FRIGGIN LUCK finding a working one, took me like, six dashes until I found a working one lol..

I've got one of those, and an M44 :-P And a Marlin 22 I traded a carbitater for lol, either way, a crackhead comes around any of my cars, he'll be leaving with more than needle holes...

that is PHARKING SICK!!!! Can always count on Jerry to do what others say is impossible! Good work man!

Are you factoring in the cold idle control doohicker? I don't know the actual name for it, it's a thermostatically controlled valve that is on top of the thermostat housing, has a somewhat large hose coming out if it that goes to the throttle body. It's my understanding that this controls the idle enrichment when the engine is cold, and it's a thermostatic device not a computer device, AFAIK, this might be something to check, especially if the megasquirt has some sort of cold engine enrichment program.

If I have a car to drive there and I find a source of income between now and then..... grrrr #@*#@$#@$*@#($*@#($@#$ being unemployed sucks!

Hey dingleballs, the guys at Laramie Machine are friendly, and they know their stuff, so I bet they'd know where to get them from. I know I had 2 left over from when I did that motor in that 83 hatchback but for the life of me I have NO idea where they are at, but I can have a look @ my folks house tomorrow afternoon. You should be OK with what you said about mix-matching parts, since as far as I remember the big difference is the hydraulic lifters and the oil passages and such for them. I've heard that the rocker assemblies are the same just the hydro lifter motors had the locking tabs on the ajusting nuts. I have no idea about this, but swapping parts around you might want to find out how to set zero lash on those rockers for optimum performance. Keep in mind though that the solid liftter EA81 heads have smaller valves! Isn't there an EA81 up @ Tech you can rob the heads off of? I MIGHT have a set of EA81 heads, I'm actually prettty sure I do, SEND ME MY DAMN PARTS and I'll send 'em to ya, make me an offer.

Check this one out Sounds like a Honda but it's an EA81 car with a 13B turbo rotary in it...

I've got my two Russian friends, Mosin and Nagant, under my bed, in case someone tries to steal my car....
