Re: Z32 Engine Swap

There are a few differences:

- TT flywheels are stepped
- TT gauge clusters are different
- ECU and harness
- Engine internals
- Gear ratios for the rear end
- HICAS system for TT's
- Intercoolers, piping
- Downpipes, exhaust problems?
- Heat shielding differences?

You can leave the rear end for the NA in for the TT engine swap, some have done the NA swap to the TT for an extra .5 right off the bat from the 1/4. The problem is that you lose fuel efficiency from the lower gear ratios in most cases.

If you can get the engine for nothing, then swap it.. If you like doing projects, swap it. If you don't mind not having your Z for a few weeks, swap it. If you have money to burn.. swap it.

Otherwise don't..
