I doubt it, the 8's aren't lined up evenly.. and the unevenness varies from pic to pic.

was it a worthwhile swap? i've been thinking about this lately don't really like the idea of a turbo but i'd like more power

 

[dominoy2k1]

from what i remeber i think you need the ecu in order to get more horsepower out of it.

 

[SubXer0]

yeah i know...actually was wondering about that too, that actually is why i'm wondering if its a worthwhile swap because i would imagine for the guys that want to stay N/A why not just do this if there isn't some big problem with it i wonder why its not done more often?

either that or (this is a random thought i had) i wonder what would happen if you hooked the japanese ecu up to our fs? would it help anything like hooking an mp3 ecu up does? or would it even work at all?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Do it and find out..hahah! I never did. For the record, the only reason I swapped was because I blew my first motor with nitrous, and this engine was readily available. There were also no turbo kits out back then for our cars.
