Title: turbo II swap into '82 on E85
Post by: siberianchilli on January 07, 2016, 06:35:47 PM
Planning on doing a turbo II 13b swap into my FB eventually and was wondering what electronics to run, size turbo to swap to for a reliable 300 to 350 horses and what fuel system to run (I really want to corn feed her on E85).  Most likely putting in a fuel cell since my current tank is a disgusting rust bucket.  It will be driven on the street but im totally fine with loosing drive ability and gas mileage: it isnt my daily.  Any suggestions especially for wiring and ECU is greatly appreciated! also if theres another swap thread that could be helpful that will be appreciated also.  Thanks!

12A has engine mounts in different position compared to 13B. Same thing with gearbox. So that is your biggest job...

As for ecu, I would go with Haltech. Microtech and Adaptronic are good too, but there is alot used Haltechs on sale. As for wiring, I dont know crap about electronics ;)

Little common turbo like T4 hybrid would be best option I think.
