Search but for what?

Turbo, manifold, downpipe and elbow, accordian hose, oil feed and return line, intake.

THats the BARE minimum. I would highly suggest a change of head gasket, and addition of head studs, and a full GTE electronic swap including wiring harness and ECU, ignitor, CPS, coil pack ect. and an intercooler.

And guys dont post the stupid "SEARCH THE INTERWEBZ" crap. If you dont wanna help him, thats fine, but dont clutter his thread.

Thanks
I appreciate it. My motor has a distributor instead of a coil pack. Would that
make any differance?

If your switching to turbo electronics you would have to change the distributer to a CPS.

I'm glad you posted the link to the sticky. Anyways, he shouldn't be surprised if people tell him to search, it's really easy to find info on that, especially due to the topic all the way at the top. :9

The motor is in excellent condition. My only Problems are a moderate valve cover
leak, and a very minor rear main leak. The power steering leaks very little also. But other then that, its perfect. and to my knowledge the only work thats ever been done was the timing belt and that was at 191,000. I will Have Pics up in a week or so.

Though the motor may be in great condition now, even with those miles, a few miles down the road and 8 PSI later it may not be.

A NA-T done right costs in total about the same, if not MUCH more than a engine swap. And a drop in GTE from japan is a STRAIGHT foward swap, with nothing too hard. Actually, a full NA-T is harder than a GTE swap.

My vote, GTE swap.

200,000 mile motors dont like abuse.
