Want to trade stock parts for turbo parts?

[nderwater]

I'm planning to swap my NB from turbo to NA. Want to trade?

What I have is an AVO Stage 2 turbo system for 99-00 NB's - most of the components will work with any 1.8L. Included:

Garrett T28 turbo (8 years old, 40K miles)
Link piggyback ECU
Intake horn with 5th injector, intercooler, aluminium/silicone IC hoses & connectors
AVO Blow off valve
Braided stainless oil lines
Down pipe
Cusom made Enthuza 2 1/2" stainless exhaust w/ high-flow cat
Not Included (more accurately, broken): AVO exhaust manifold

What I need:
Stock NB intake system
Stock NB exhaust system
NB transmission
Assistance swapping & installing the parts

I'm assuming there is cash involved? Not for me but I thought I would ask for those that are interested.

Turbo kit details available on the AVO web site:
http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/product_info.php?cPath=215_5_154_157_161&products_id=215

Cash is negotiable and depends on the condition of the trans and amount of assistance lended to the install.

If my g/f's dad would let me turbo her '00, I'd be all over this. Unfortunately, he doesn't want her to have more than a JRSC.

[MeFryRice]

I'm surprised he even knows what a JRSC is.

I'm surprised that Brittany would know!

Let's just say that he knows cars better than most (maybe not all) of everyone on here combined.

Appearances are deceiving. :) Her dad and I have taught her well in the ways of things automotive.

[MeFryRice]

Oh I'm not complaining or saying it's a bad thing...;)

[MoD_Scotty]

I would do this in a heartbeat if I had a tranny laying around. (wow, that sounded dirty)

I would also gladly help with the swap. PM me with your $, if I found a tranny.

[MeFryRice]

With the turbo having ~40k miles on it, how much shaft play is there?

[RotorNutFD3S]

If it's ball bearing, it should have the minimal movement they do, other than that, those suckers should outlast the life of the car.

[MeFryRice]

I've seen them fail before.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Oh, so have I. That's why I said should, if they're taken care of properly, the chances of them failing go way down. YMMV of course.

[MeFryRice]

YMMV?

Your Mileage (or Method or Market) May Vary.

****t....

I got a transmission that I was going to keep holding onto but I really need turbo parts.

It came out of my 1991 NA with 90ishK when I pulled it. I swapped it for the hybrid rx7 tranny.

Depending on where you are, I can help with the swap after work..

[metalman]

NA trannies are somewhat different then NBs.
I presume the OP probably wants the correct part.

[wildfire0310]

Kurt what is the difference??? Never realized there was any difference as people just swap them with no big issues or anything

Ben might better be able to answer this.
Although they can be made to work, early NA trannys have different syncros, later are better, shifter turret and shift lever on NB are somewhat different, and IIRC the starter bolt up area varies, NB starters are different. NB trans use a electronic speed sensor for the speedo..I presume that can be swapped. Perhaps Ben will chime in.

My thoughts were based upon the presumption that the OPs car is a nice low mile example and as such I presumed he would want to keep the same year model (or comparable) parts on it...but thats just my presumption. :)

Yea that would make sense for small things like that. Ben would know, I ripped a few transmissions apart building mine, but I think they where all Na's.

I am just wonder why the OP needs a transmission anyway?

I think he has 5th gear issues.

You got it Jack. I am used to you guys being on top of things so much that I didn't think it would go this long.

Normally would have got him but 10am is about the time I start to wake up in bed on a good day at the moment :lol:

That and I haven't been online these last couple of days.
