Now just to rebuild it. currently it has 352k km on it. and it has been sitting for 3 years, put a booster pack on it, and it started right up. There is a exhaust manifold leak, and i have not yet seen the boost gauge move, but i cant actually drive the car as it has no brakes.

pulled off all the intakes tubes today, the turbo has NO endplay and spins freely, also there is no oil in any of the intake pipes! not bad for 352k km.

yea i know, I think the motor might just need a hone and rewring, no boring or bearings and such.

I would just do the bearings any.

Do it right the first time or don't do it at all my dad used to say ;)

Great swap idea though.

Dude I've considered this swap, I've attempted this swap. It won't work. Just wait till you try to put the motor and tranny in and you find out you need to cut the frame rails cause the crank pulley rubs the frame. It needs so much custom work it isn't worth it. I just bought a 94 gs with a blown tranny for $600 and it's in great shape I've got a klze for it. It will be faster and better and alot easier to install. Trust me I know!! The 2.2 won't fit unless you do custom chassey work "then lets see your car drive in a straight line". Sorry man It's just I've already thought of it and I now have a low milage f2t sitting in my shop collecting dust. If you want more info on the problems I ran into email me. cause there was alot of them.
