Im interested in buying a s4 turbo engine for my GXL
I went to this websight;
www.mazdarx7engines.com
They have free shipping to and from, 2 year warrenty, and they provide perforance options.
On the site at the botom there is a link to a private chat to ask them any questions youd like So I asked em some stuff and found out a series 4 88 turbo engine costs $1995 plus refundable $550 core deposite.
Ok so IF i buy a TURBO engine im not actually buying a TURBO engine because im not even really buying the engine im getting MY engine rebuilt so i can not BUY a 88 turbo engine if I already have a N/A..OH NO i must buy a TURBO CHARGER to actaully have a TURBO ENGINE
Ok so what is my point to this confusing ****??
I WANT AN ENGINE WITH A TURBO!
Basically i thought i could go to a websight to buy a turbo engine and get a turbo but that doesent seem the case. Please guys enlighten me is there a place i can buy an engine with a turbo or is that not possible??
What do all you guys that pay 1500 for a TII engine get? Cuz it seems to me that youd have to spend another 2-3 grand to get the turbocharger not to mention all the other ****
So... How and where can i buy a Turbo engine with the Turbo and all accessories?
Sorry this came out so long and retarted im just trying to vent

Its cheaper to sell your NA and look for a TII for sale and buy that.
The only time the swap is very economical is if you can get a wrecked TII for cheap and use it as a donor.
You need everything. Motor/Tranny/Wirring/ECU/exhuast/Driveshaft/Rear end/gauges....

Try http://www.risingsunengines.com I purchased a jspec turbo motor from them about 3 years ago. The motor is said to be brand new except for being run a few times to make sure things are still on the up and up. Supposedly the motor came from a stock of 13bt's that Mazda had to hold onto for warranty reasons and when Mazda no longer needed to hold onto the motors, Rising sun engines picked up a bunch of them. As far as I can tell, the motor is Brand New. Even looking in the turbo on the exhaust side it is pretty much spotless! All the nuts and bolts have that florescent paint bright and unfaded that the dealer puts on them. It has oil cooler hoses that appear to be clean and new. Couldnt tell you if it was actually new or not but if not, it must have had less than 2000 miles on it. It did have a wiring harness that was cut so I don't know for sure. I peeked through the spark plug holes with a flashlight and there is zero carbon buildup on the rotors or seals, it is beautiful inside! Anyways, it was a complete motor including the turbo, flywheel and oil cooler lines. It was just missing the intercooler. I paid 2,000 bucks for it, and 50 bucks shipping through viking freight. This was about 3 years ago so don't know if they still have any of these motors lying around. They were very friendly and provided great customer service. Check em out.

Most used Turbo II engines would include the turbo plus all components. If one were to buy a Mazda remanufactured Turbo II engine you only will receive the short block, flywheel, front cover, water pump,main pulley, water pump, oil pump, oil pan. @ $2000 including gaskets and shipping. As you can see many ingredients missing.
If your looking to do a swap, a used TII engine, or TII donor car would be the best way to go.
