gt-r question
i finally saved up 6000 dollars for my gt-r / dx sohc engine swap but i dont know if i will need a gt-r engine harness or can i use my dx or an lx harness. And can yall recommend a good but inexpensive ecu or ems.

Please don't waste the money.

I don't think the DX or LX harness will work. I am not 100% certain due ot the fact that I received the GTR harness and ecu with my engine and had a friend modify my GTR harness with some wiring from the LX harness to make everything work. As far as an ecu, the only one you could run is a GTR ecu, if you can't find one (you will have a hard time finding one) you should go for the Haltech stand alone system.

hes right, with $6k you can get a gtx engine for a $1000, get a n/a head and port/polish it, get a t3/t4 turbo, turbo back 3" exhaust, gtr intake manny, rx-7 vaf, intercooler and more and have more power than a gtr.

after doing some more research i am now thnking of doing a head swap on my dx engine with the lx head, only the head because the dx pistons are lower compression than the lx (turbo cars want lower compression). I am also thinking about reenforcing my stock pistons (high boost). Is the gt-r/ gtx turdo manifold the only one that can fit our cars? will an eclipse manifold fit?
Anymore advice is welcome.

pseudo, you are the biggest jerk on this board!! I get so sick of seeing your smart *** remarks to completely innocent questions.....i think if you you took out all the smart *** comments you make, your post count would probably be reduced 75%

pseudo, in case you didnt know high boost in a cylinder chamber that has high compression is very dangerous. Under these conditions rods are thrown. This is the reason that stock turbo cars have compression rations like 7.9:1. But, thanks for the advice, I think.
i still want to know about any other turbo manifolds fitting our cars, and I also heard that the Escort Gt has a limited slip tranny that will fit, has anyone ever tried this? will it work?
sorry about all the questions... im smarter than the average bear, but not the average human.
