the problem i have found with 13b TII swap with sa's are the trans needs to be modded to fit. men in black, from the other site mods the trans to fit for a small cost. which i wish i could learn to save some cash.

ive been doing the math in my head and rebuilding my 12a and turbo its would cost as much as a s4 swap with a rebuild. s4 would be little bit more, but the trans for that i would not worry about blowing up like i would with the 12a trans. to me not worry about parts breaking is better then being like look i have a turbo 12a for me.

the thing the scares me about efi is the cost for 1.and tuning it my self. i work with a bunch of honda guys and wrx guys. they told me how much it cost to rent the dyno so they could tune it them selfs and the cost of some one tuning for you. i guess i read to many threads that went like tuned my car today and it blew ect ect. but i all so heard you dont have to have a dyno to tune. which thru a monkey wrench in to my head lol.

but the funny thing is i dont really know why iam so worried about efi. me and a friend are building a turbo capri 2.3(fox body) and that going to have to be custom tune.

so i guess you guys have made up my mind 13bTII s4 swap keep it stock and learn.

let me get this right, 13bTII i would need a fb 13b oil pan and a front cover from a fb. any thing else.
