i did a search but it didn't answer all of my questions. Like can u put a turbo FWD tranny in a NT and some electronic i not sure about thats why i still need more info but ill keep searching
Thanks for your time!

Oh! an Amin i really would be greatful if u helped me do this. I plan to do it in Jan or Feb in my garage. Thanks

I did some more searching and came up with this list of parts i need beside the turbo engine to do the swap.

oil lines
oil pan
intercooler
IC piping
BOV
airbox, and intake piping
downpipe
ECU
fuel pressure regulator
fuel pump
injector resistor
MAS

Is there any thing that im missing
Thanks

YES you an oput the turbo tranny but the fact is you can survive with your own tranny.

fuel pump and lines but NOT necessary for low PSIs, I think there was a thread about it in which Tony said you can go up to 12 I think or so.

AMin

I never said you can go up to 12psi. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK
With that said I'm running 9 psi and won't go any higher.
Remeber that i used the NT motor. I didn't swap the NT with a Turbo motor.
I'm using my stock NT tranny BUT take it easy when launching, the NT cluch can't take that much abuse. Trust me
The benefit with a turbo tranny is that you can use the turbo clutch but you will need to use the turbo flywheel.

The trickest part of the whole thing is wiring up the resistor pack.
The rest of it is pretty much bolt on.

If you need any help you can e-mail me at mntepnr@sympatico.ca. I just finished my complete conversion, turbo engine, tranny, flywheel, clutch etc.
It was quite a ride but worth it if you enjoy spending countless hours on your car.

Thanks alot guys, but i have desides to just put a turbo on the NT engine and Put a metal head gasket and change the pistons to JE forged Pistons 9.0:1. With some other mods and we well see how fast it is. An any help i can get would be great. hanks!!

Skip the metal head gasket. If your not running 30psi or running Nitrous, then you dont need it.

Second, Use Ross pistons. They are available over the counter with 21mm wrist pin. Je's are a bit harder to find...besides Ross are better pistons.

Third, toss the NT block but keep the crank(spare). Turbo blocks are readily available and they have oil squirters and knock sensor mount already in place.

hey curwen i e-mailed you so can u get back to me with the info. thanks alot, and would you be able to send me pics of your car. thanks alot

josh

Just a note, the NT blocks also have the knock sensor mount. Its cast right in in the block. Well at least thats where i put mine.

Tony, where did you vent your BOV to? Atmosphere or did you get a turbo tb?

I used the stock turbo inlet tube and vented into (just like stock)and blow off valve bolts to the intercooler 90 bend on one side and the other side of the blow off valve i made up a custom 2" intake to the NT throttle body.

I just wanna know if these parts are from an AWD can they work in a FWD.

Turbo AWD ECU Turbo
TURBO oil pan
Turbo downpipe

ECU - yes
oil pan - as long as both engines same (6 bolt or 7 bolt)
downpipe- No. Well you will have to cut the flange off(the one the bolts up to the cat) and turn 30' and reweld it back on.

Those three are causing me problems in my quest to convert my n/t. The ecu just turns out to be an expensive part of the conversion. The downpipe from an AWD I knew wouldn't bolt on to my n/t, so I'm still looking for a fwd dp. I have a deal that can get me a used turbo fwd dp/cat/muffler setup for $100. Is this a good deal?

I never knew that the oil pan was different from the 6bolt and 7bolt engines, I guess I'll have to pass on the 91 oil pan that I was about to buy.

Jeff, if you can save few bucks just get the downpipe. But if its a package deal then I'll have to say BUY it.
Also a oil pan from a 7 bolt WILL NOT fit a a 6 bolt engine.

how do you tell if your engine is a 6 bolt or a 7 bolt

Check the VFAQs.

Sorry to dig up an old thread guys. Tony you mentioned that the benefit of using a turbo tranny is that you can swap in a turbo clutch too, only you have to use the turbo flywheel. I'm gathering parts for a turbo conversion, but am planning to keep my nt tranny and swapping out my nt 7-bolt block for a turbo 6-bolt block. So, just so I can verify, with this setup if I want to keep the nt clutch, should I swap in a 6-bolt nt flywheel, or can i leave my 7-bolt nt flywheel?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt if you use ANY 6 bolt engine you must use a 6 bolt flywheel. Because the of the bolt patterm on the flywheel.
6 bolt engines have 6 bolts on the flywheel, and 7 bolt engines have 7 bolts.
I see you are a newbie thats why i put that last sentence in.

Damn that did sound dumb, huh? Before I got confused and asked the wrong question, I was wondering if I should swap in a 6-bolt NT flywheel or a 6-bolt T flywheel? Is there a difference, I always thought that as long as the bolt patterns match up you're fine.
Thanks for humouring me.

Matt

they are different and are transmission dependent.
Turbo FWD Turbo AWD and NT FWD are different.

I am sure that the NT and Turbo are entirely different. I am not sure about the NT AWD(galant)

But anyways your answer is YEs they are different. depends on the tranny you are planning to use.

Curwen theres a guy named Rob selling a 2g turbo motor with 40 000km maybe picking that motor up wouldnt be a bad idea for you.Good luck buddy.

oh and i have a question are the nt blocks the same as the turbo block both cast iron?

hey guys do i need the turbo oil cooler!

I don't have one installed, But its strongly recommoned that you do install one. I'll be putting one in when spring rolls around.

all 4g63's that I know are CAST IRON, unless of course mitsu changed the design in recent years
