Hi yall, i know this may go against all natural instinct,BUT, im removing the ea82-T engine from my 89 wagon and installing a stock n/a ea82 engine. And what ide like to know is, 1/ how much of the wirng harness should i remove? 2/ is there anything i should know like,is the turbo box different or not...and are the ratio,s the same etc..i have a second ea82 wogan 89 model thats been jacked 2inches or so:D ...everything should be there for the job, dash,wiring etc....any tips would be great ...cheers.

no need to do all that work!!, just install the NA block with the turbo heads(plugged turbo lines) and manifold. now you got MPFI non turbo . also the non turbo headers ( y pipe) will bolt to you exhasut where your downpipe used to be..

you'll need the Exhaust header/y-pipe and intake hose from the air box for the non-turbo engine. i just did this swap a few weeks ago. just swap the long block and leave the intake manifold that is in the car which would include all the sensors and such.

 

you might have to swap the knock sensor from your turbo block to the NA block if it doesn't have it.

gary its not an xt so he wil need the turbo heads too, since they are dual port.. his na engine will either be spfi/carb, which have single port heads.

nice call! so if he didn't want to deal with swapping heads he could swap the entire EA82 non-turbo engine assembly (entire thing) into the turbo car. throwing that option out there in case he doesn't want to do any engine work. either way, you can get what you want without any wiring issues.

well if he uses an entire na motor (non xt) he will not be able to use his MPFI manifold. so then there will be wirring issues if he wants to keep it fuel injected

I did plan on taking the turbo engine for another project and installing a carbed ea82......so i guess ide need part of the loom....upon installation of the turbo into its new body,also, ii was keen to fit an aftermarket ecu...so i could eliminate the maf...and run a map instead, then fit a pod straight onto the turbo inlet....this would be in a sadnrail so an intercooler probly wont be needed as i only plan to run stock boost...

but with the wiring (i guess ill find out along the way)

does anyone have an idea on how much or little i can leave in .. can i plug my n/a wiring in along the way somewhere..or do i reef the lot out???
