Well, you certainly won't want to swap it unless you are skilled in the fabrication fields, as well as know the motor is in great condition to handle boost...

So that leaves you with 2 other options..
1) Sell the motor for a little more then you paid, and make some $$ from his generousity.

2) Piece out the turbo and lines, maybe use some scrap pieces for kit parts.

Honestly though, the turbo in those are tiny t-25s. But, if you aren't lokoing for high HP and want a little go, T-25s are suffice. They're still turbos!

If I were you, I'd make sure everything isnt damged to junk or scrap, otherwise it would take up space and become useless based on the money you paid for it. Ex: Motor may look good, but compression shows 120 across all 4. Turbo may look good with no shaft play, but burns/blows oil when started up and running (bad seals, etc)..

So I guess in this case you never know. It's kind of at your discretion..

1G Turbo cars had 14Bs (if they were M/T), not T25s.

And why exactly did you decide to post this in the 420A Tech forum?

 

[Jonathanlc05]
