It would be way more difficult and time consuming and cost alot more than you'd want to put into it. Try checking www.car-part.com for a used motor or something if yours is shot.

Uhhh. I don't think that swapping a 1g motor into a 1g NT would be hard at all.

The motor from the 93 is basicly the same as the one you would swap into it minus the turbo and some other things.

If I'm not mistaken you may need a new ecu but that would be all. Everything else is pretty much the same. But I agree, for 1.5k you could buy a good 1g AWD

It's not quite as easy as everyone thinks. $1500 for a motor plus parts/labor to do the swap? Not worth it IMO.

Well if you do labor yourself.

For me removing and installing a motor isn't rocket science. But I know other people are different.
