the 2.5 turbo blew in my 1991 daytona, would i be able to replace the engine with a 2.2 intercooled turbo, will everything be compatible

 

413 or 5spd? and what year 2.2?

 

5spd, 88 2.2

 

i have an 88 pacifica that had a 2.5turbo i pulled it out and put an 86 laser 2.2 turbo in. no problems so far......hope this helps.

 

i don't know how machanical inclined you are but if you can swap motors i would think and engine rebuild wouldn't be out of the question.

personally i would just rebuild the 2.5, so you don't lose that extra torque of the 2.5 , i have and 87 sheloby z with the 2.2 tII i am working on swaping the 2.2 for a 2.5 and the other 87 shelby z that is on its way might be getting the A HEALTHY V8 in it if i have enough funding

 

I have an 88 2.2.

I put in a Turbo from a 2004 3500 Cummings Turbo Deisel. Bolts right on. No mods. Look on ebay. I got mine for $700 (CDN)

 

^^^+1^^^^

I think the engine control package is the same also, shoud be a virtual "bolt in"
however as posted your low end torque will be lower, I think about 30 lb, but dont
quote me...but on a budget, wrench on!!!
