2seater Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 The stuff from a GN or Turbo Regal isn't a direct bolt on (I wish it was). Almost every thing is different, including which way the engine faces and where the air enters the engine. You CAN use some of the parts from a GN, but most of the stuff, such as manifolds, all point in the wrong directions. The "83-'85 hot air (non-intercooled) GN's come closest to our application. Our friend with the Trofeo has had success with the turbo from a Merkur and my project is a hybrid using parts from a '79 turbo Riviera, '84 hot air turbo from a Regal, and an '83 T'Bird. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. My little photo to the right is mocked up on my spare engine. Actually I am getting the car home today (it was 28 degrees yesterday with snowfall), so I have delayed getting it out of storage to start the assembly on the car. My plan is too have it on the road in the next month.E-mail direct to my address and I will send pics and a breakdown if you are interested.
