Building a turbo car out an N/A body..

Ageman 7 · 01-26-2009, 01:51 AM

I have the turbo wiring harness, a 7m-gte, and a turbo 5 speed transmission. What else do I need to get my Supra running?

1988 Supra and I do have the turbo ecu. I've been trying to find things on the swap, all I can think is take out the old ecu/wiring harness and in goes the turbo one right?

Also if you wanna keep using a stock boost gauge you'll wanna get a new gauge cluster. N/A's have a voltmeter where the turbos have the boost gauge.

Not to mention you need the intercooler, all pipes, oil cooler, all lines, turbo elbow, downpipe, AFM, HAC sensor if its pre 89, linkages if the motor doesnt have it, motor mounts if its a different year, hardware to mount the intercooler etc, clutch, driveshaft(im pretty sure its a different length for the turbo trans., Slave cylinder for the trans if it doesnt have one, power steering resovore if it doesnt have it ont he engine already. Thats all i can think of for now im sure theres some other little things.
