ea82tdo4 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I think I am gonna go the cheap route with my turbo wagon and look out for a donor ea82 engine/car. I belive that I should be able to swap over the ecu, harness, engine etc. etc. with no problem right? I will be keeping my pushbutton 4wd for now and eventually want a d/r for a crawler build-up down the road. So my question is what year ea82 cars should I look at and what will I run into if I try to put the donor engine in my 89 turbo wagzorz?

MilesFox Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 if you want to go cheap you can swap in a carb motor and swap the fuel pump for it to work and figure out the carb electrics but its a motor. if you replaced the block with the same heads you could go na mpfi if you just leave the turbo off and get the correct boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_postie Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 If you got the 3 plug turbo ecu you can plug a na mpfi motor str8 in no harness swap.4 plug i went the other way n/a mpfi to turbo using n/a ecu loom etc ,can't see why it wouldn't work in reverse .
