Can my 1g N/T use some parts from a turbo

[Keenman]

im not real engine smart (at least not yet) and i know there is a 94 talon tsi awd at our local junkyard...i was just wondering what parts if any could i use on my 94 N/T from the engine to gain some HP, and im not wanting to do a whole swap from N/T to turbo just wondering if a few of the parts would be useful and how useful would they be and would they fit right....thanks

It depends...

If its a 5spd, then you can steal the intake cam, its a direct fit and its good for a couple points. Also, a not so much power upgrade, is the front brakes. The rotors are almost an inch bigger and the calipers have a dual piston. This will give you some extra stopping power.

Don't quote me on this, but I heard that some GSX's came with a factory upper strut bar and a beefier front sway bar which could be usefull

Aside from, the intake cam and brakes as stated above not much else can be swapped over aside from the turbo set-up itself.

Also, if you plan on swapping over the brakes, check your set-up first, my car came from the factory as a N/T with the "big brakes" so swapping over would be pointless for me.

k thanks also how much hp do think i could gain from swapping the intake cam, also how much do you think is reasonable to buy a used one for, also how much would it cost to have it installed...is it worth it....

is the intake cam the thing that says (ECI MULTI) on it

thats the intake manifold, where the air goes into the motor. the cam is inside the head, under grey cover on the top of the motor. by the sounds of it you'd need sombody to install it for you...

the thing that says eci multi is the intake manifold, not the intake cam. tha cam in under the valve cover . please get a pro to install it, or you could really mess the timing and damage you head.
good luck
