2.5 swap
was wondering what i will need for the swap ie distributor, computer, wiring, and will the 1.8 distributor fit on the 2.5 engine and will the 1.8 tranny work with the original axles. i have found a 94 probe gt smashed for 1500 and i was wondering if it was worth the money.

don't get offended. It is just that it is fully detailed under the FAQ. If you have any questions about what you read feel free to ask.

ECU = "computer"
VAF = airflow meter
You'll need those from the 2.5L engine. The harness from the 1.8 will work without any problem. Also use the exhaust manifolds from the 1.8.
The tranny will fit on the 2.5 without any problem.
1.8 distributor will also fit. I use the one from the 1.8.
Since the 1.8 and 2.5 is from the same family, almost everything will fit.

Turbo: You can, but then you need a fuel controller, custom exhaust manifolds and piping, intercooler, fuel pump and depending on the amount of boost maybe injectors.
