323 sp turbo conversion
Hey guys,
i've been wanting to get my 323bg upgraded to a turbo for some time now, i've read most of you recommend a front half cut so i was wondering what you all thought of this. is it too expensive? would this be all i need for a full conversion? any advice would be great Ebay Front Cut |

looks to me it's missing the crappy stock intercooler... no big deal as many would opt for a better custom fitted intercooler.. that aside, it looks like it'll have everything you need, save for an uprated fuel pump
$3300 is on the pricy side though for something this old... that's my opinion based on what's acceptable value in the US... I don't know about oz, so others will have to chime in

It's on the expensive side, but you can sell the gearbox for decent money to get some $$ back.

what about this for a deal! .A whole TX3 4WD .
It has wheels (good for loading onto transport truck to you)....and you could sell the 4WD gearbox for good money...actually i may be able to even line you up with a Sydney buyer for it!. http://fordlaser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=85569 |
