its from a 91 turbo,
its say twin entry turbo on the top on the valve cover, it doesn't look like what i've seen the turbo motors look like, its really flat on the top, the vavle cover is like huge

the intake throttle body sits atop the manifold slightly to the bak. the throttle body is wut actually says twin turbo entry i think, not the valve cover.

MR-2 do you have a pic from the buyer to post on this forum? If so please post so we can see what comes with it and what doesn't. When do you get the engine or do you already have it sitting at home? I'm a little confused on the past threads. If you already have it I could come by and take a look at it and see wassup. I personally have swapped just about everything in an MR-2 except for the block itself. The only person I know who has done a complete swap (locally) is Mark and Sergio. What part of town do you live?

i'm pikcing up the engine monday noon from riverview
and i live in north tampa, but i might be using my dad's empty shop on armenia av. cause it has a 12 foor car lift. but i'm also not sure if the engine comes out the top or bottom, i think the bottom. also if n e one know how to install the harrness, i'd even pay them to help me out, because i do not have the money to pay a shop to do it.
old man yea i'll have it at my house by noonish tommorow so if you wanna run by or something. i live a bit north of lutz.

thats at i thought
the engine i'm gonna pick up, it has clutch, i dunno if its aftermarket or n e thing. i don't even know if its n e good. i don't have 200 for a ACT this second so i was wondering if that might be a much better way out.

ok guys the motor is in, i got all the parts for it. i got my n/a tranny on with a clutch off a turbo, but i ran into a HUGE problem.
the damn f-er who i bouht the motor from, fucking cut the high pressure line coming out of the fuel filter, and at this point my motor is already in and getting to take it off is something that is dr. suss's nightmare.
can i somehow clamp these things or somehow work around it?

ok
my dad is thinking that we might be able to tap it the way you tap break lines when they break.
is this gonna work, and if not how hard is it to take this thing off and put it on?

Give me a call tonight after 7:30pm, maybe I can come over and take a look at it later and bring my spare parts with me. You can try and tap it, but that probably isnt the best idea.
