      I don't remember differences between the GTX and GTR engines... the GTR is basically just stronger, right?

        sodium valves and a ball bearing turbo upping the hp to 210 at stock boost. I know there are probably a few other difference that maybe there, if so post them up plz.

        Oh and Marc from what I have read the GTX harness needs resistors added in for it to work with the GTR... I remember talking to one of our overseas friends about this, and he told me something like that. Dunno, someone correct me if I am wrong.

        Oh and I am right down the road once you get started on the swap marc... I got a digi cam that holds 800+pics
        The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

              I bought the turbo and manifold off of Dave and then I got a turboless/injectorless gtr motor from itzkcatz.

              That's only because of the difference in the injectors between the gtx and gtr. The gtx injectors are high impedance whereas the gtr injectors are low impedance and therefore needs resistor packs. Im using RX7 injectors, which are high impedance like the gtx injectors, so it won't be a problem.
