3S-GTE JDM 3rd Gen Turbo Engine 2nd/3rd gen hybrid

Poayjay · 03-19-2010, 12:29 PM

I'll start by introducing myself. I'm ay. I am a nuclear mechanic in the navy. I have been comming to this site for about a year finally decided to register.

Anyways,

I currently have a 91 t-Bo with the second gen. My plan is to keep the second gen block, but build a third gen head for it. I'm planning on using a the third gen exauhst and intake manifolds. I want to do all the work myself, not have a machine shop build my project for me. have have a few questions about part compatibility.

Does anyone know if the third gen head will bolt on to the 2nd gen block? If no, how much work would have to be done?
Will my stock turbo bolt on to a third gen manifold? (I'm planning on doing this in stages)
Is the throttle body port on the manifold the same?

Any info/advice would be really helpful. Just don't tell me to read the 3rd gen differences page. I am looking for definite answers.

Sounds like an expensive way to build a subpar 3rd gen IMO.

think ud be better off just picking up the 3rd gen sourcing all those parts is going to put you at cost already
