#4847, "RE: Buyying turbo engine and intercooler" In response to In response to 0
You can't swap the turbo engine into a 95ESi. 95-99 are 2GNTs. Now, if you found a 94ESi...
Of course, if the 95 looks really nice, you might consider picking it up, rebuilding the motor, and bolting a turbo system to it. If the car is $500 right now, you could likely rebuild the engine in the $2500-$4000 range.
A rebuilt head would probably run you under $500 complete (stock parts) and you'd be driving the car. A built bottom end with forged internals might set you back about $2000. In this situation, you'd be ready for a turbo kit for somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000. Then you could save up and buy a turbo kit from HRC for that thing. Bolt it up and go.
