I have an '88 convertible that sports a 2.3L and I need to replace the engine. I want to know how hard it is to put the turbo motor out of an SVO or a turbo coupe in my car. Where do I find detailed instructions? Should I plan on buying the whole motor complete or adding the turbo to my motor? Where do I get the wiring harness or do I even need one? Where do I find aftermarket parts for these motors? Will I be happy enough with this combination to justify doing the mod over choosing the V8? What is the recipe to HP with these motors? As you can see I need some good advice!!!
