newbe needs parts help

rustfarmer · 07-19-2009, 06:12 PM

Hello to all, just registered and hope someone can help me find used parts at reasonable price for my project. I am converting a 87 non-turbo auto trans car to a turbo 5 speed. My donor engine is missing the mass air flow unit and though I see a really cheap one on ebay, I want one that works.
Also need the driver's side engine to transmission brace for the R 154 trans (the big one used on turbo cars). It is available from toyo, but kind of pricey new. Might also need the power steering reservoir if I can't fix the bent outlet pipe on mine.

PS: Got my engine and trans from ebay JDM source in Canada and got ripped off big time. Paypal was no help in that they require I pay shipping back before I get any refund and shipping was $500. Felt this was taking risk of loosing even more $ so I kept the parts and am repairing and replacing as needed.
