Just curious how much this will cost to convert my 1985 na to turbo. I would love to but feel it may be out of my price range. Let me know!What kind of a job do you give someone, but do all the work? -
if your patient not bad at all.. TYPICALLY 4-700 dollars.. it all depends.. did mine for around 600 but i was in a hurry.86 NA auto 2+2 with 300k miles, now turbo with 5 speed -

Can you list in detail what you had done, replaced? ThanksWhat kind of a job do you give someone, but do all the work? -
read up on this....http://www.xenonz31.com/turboswap.html
Do a search for the swap. Quite a few people on here have done that.
I am getting ready to put a n/a in my 87t of course it will have the turbo in it as well.
There is lots of reading to do. and this forum has a wealth of knowledge. I have been on this forum for a while I don't post often But read it almost everyday, and learn something new.

I would budget more like 1k. Theres a plethora of things that could break or need replacing while you're doing the swap.1988 NA2T 2+2 (currently using an 84T ECU) -
ya if you budget 1k you wont have any issues at all. some people even sell almost complete NA2T kits on here a lot. or post looking for a kit and see what ya get. i got a used nice t3 stock turbo online from the network of salvage yard dealers for 100 bucks. i thought that was a good deal.86 NA auto 2+2 with 300k miles, now turbo with 5 speed -
I just want to clarify, when you say a budget of $1000, this is strictly for parts i assume?jfatica wrote: I would budget more like 1k. Theres a plethora of things that could break or need replacing while you're doing the swap.What kind of a job do you give someone, but do all the work? -
This assumes you do a majority of the labor yourself. I paid to have injectors cleaned and to have the turbo rebuilt by pros.
If you are not doing the work yourself, then I have no idea how much it will cost.1988 NA2T 2+2 (currently using an 84T ECU) -
It could cost quite a bit, but the best thing to do is wait and try to find a good sale on here. I got some pretty good stuff (aftermarket turbo, injectors, etc) for around $1000; and all I needed were a few minor pieces (crossmember, etc) that I already had from my old turbo car.
If you are doing the work yourself its pretty cheap, and it also is NOT overly complex (heck, I was scared to pull my engine; but now its a piece of cake). If you are paying someone to do it; well, sell your NA and buy a turbo car; it would be so much cheaper than to pay someone to turbo an NA. -
yea im about to do a na2t swap on my 84 na. i have all the parts and everything im just scared to start it cuz i dont have much experience on this stuff and i dont wana fuck anything up.
