I need just a little help, [putting N/A motor in AWD]

[whitefire89]

I bought a 91 Talon TSI AWD A/T and I am putting in a motor from a 92 Talon. The talon I bought has no motor or harness in the engine bay, but the trans is there. The motor is from a N/A car but it was built w/ forged pistons 9.0/1 compr., ported and polished head and cams for a turbo motor, not sure how big on the cams. The motor was in the N/A car and driven around daily. So what I need to know is what do I need to correctly plant that motor in my new talon. Oh yeah, I just wanna say Thanks ahead of time for any help I get.

Anybody? Are there any sensors that need to be changed from N/T to Turbo ones

So the new motor is a built NA? You'll want the ecu that goes with that motor, I believe, or some way to control fuel.

So you're going to have a NA AWD? Not very common.

You will need a knock sensor from a turbo model. Are you going to make your own harness or are you using a turbo model harness? I am a little confused on what exactly you have available. I am assuming you are just taking the n/a motor so you can have a built motor and turbo it, correct?

LIke said before, you'll need a knock sensor. Keep the ecu out of the turbo car. I have a 1st gen N/A built engine in my GSX.

Sorry about that, yeah, I am going to put a high flow cast iron manifold and run a 16G turbo right now. I have to get a wiring harness for the engine bay cause there is not one with the car so I was going to get the harness from a TSI AWD talon and also get the ECU to match. So far, I have to change over the knock sensor to a turbo knock sensor, anything else that you guys can think of.
