You would have to change the accelerator pedal and fab the mounts but yes.
It's pointless though, once you tackle the build it is worth to get rid of the rat's nest and reliability issues created by a craptastic twin turbo system, more than 70 vacuum hoses and a shitty\stupid ecu (both the 8 and 16bit ones stink)

You will be spending the same amount of money, if not more swapping than to boosting the renny.

There's no real "rebuild kit". You have to open the engine and find what needs to be replaced.
Generally speaking it's anything between 2000 and 4000$ in parts.
Turbo kit = search.

Nope. If you're spending 500$ for a rebuild you're doing it wrong. Join him in the forum search please.

Where are you from? Rebuilding something you don't know on your own isn't smart. Send me a PM so that we don't clog this thread

No matter how many people ask the same question, the answer will still be the same. No, the stock twin turbos from the rew will NOT fit.

Have you read any threads by Turblown? They have already stated that they have already installed/tuned turbo's for the S2
/thread jack

OP, what numbers are you shooting for with that turbo?

^^ IIRC the tuned solution for S2 was a standalone ECU. By the time I tally up the cost of a custom turbo kit, it will easily cross the $10K mark. Just hoping for a tune/flash be available sometime this year so I can start planning in the fall/winter season when the RX will be parked.

If you think a swap will cost less than $10k, you have more more reading ahead of you.

Oh yeah.. I know it's gonna cost more than $10K. For my situation, a Petit S/C makes the most sense when they are available again hopefully w a tune. Either way, I am interested in seeing how this build turns out
