Some T2 swap questions again
I have an GSl-SE with almost 400 000 kms on the stock motor. Its running fine now but i think its gonna die soon (Thats a hella of alot of mileage). So when it dies im gonna put a t2 engine in.
would it be better too
1) BUY a cheap T2 complete car (prolly around 2000CDN$) and swap the whole drive train into my SE. BUT for 2000$ the car would prolly be in the upper mileage range)
or
2)Buy a Jspec T2 (lower mileage)engine keep my current drivetrain.
BUT i would need an ECU, IC Turbo
how much would #2 come up to $$?
and witch witch is a better plan/cheaper plan

you have a se so it is slightly simpler for putting it into your car. using the se oil pan and front cover. if you want the turbo tranny and those asociated things get the parts car, but the motor might be worse. i would buy a jspec and get a nice aftermarket ecu, btw most j-specs i know come with IC and turbo so you dont have to worry to much...
