so today has by far been the best day of my life. I finally found an engine and transmission for my awd talon and after a lot of patience and clicking the refresh button, I finally own both an engine and tranny.
check it out.

i originally planned on building a real 2.3 stroker and doing everything myself, but i figured i just saved myself about $4000 by buying this.

way to go man, hope it works out. looks like a great unit!! Good job on the auction picking as well.

shit,thats where im from!i wounder who's 4g this is and i might know them.

his name is Mike if that helps any. it came from a 90 tsi awd.

why is the turbo on backwards? nice buy tho...!

I think he put the turbo on for pictures. It doesn't come with the turbo or header though.

hell of a nice buy nice bidding good luck on the install

nice buy man looks good

what size turbo u putin on it?

Looks great, hope you can keep it that clean!!

lol, thats gonna get dirty quick

nice setup, but what I don't understand is "The head is extremely ported" why is it extremely ported? bigger is not better in porting a head. maybe I'm wrong.

the head isn't "extremely ported", it's just ported a little bit more than a regular port job would be. i want to either put on a sbr gt-13 or gt-14. i want the gt-14 but i think it might have a little more lag than I want (that's where my stroker was gonna help out, oh well) but if it's gonna be a bad lag problem i'll probably just go with the gt-13. i'd like to hear what kevin says about this.

me to surprised he hasnt put in his :2cents: yet lol

Okay, what mustang throttle body is used? what mods needs to acomplished the task? I want to use a larger throttle body. Still a dope motor.
