Thanks everyone

ebay turbo is like a honda ruckus, meh it's a bike I guess. But it's no motorcycle.

Your best best is to slowly piece together a custom system. I started with prepping the motor first ( ARP's & MLS) plan on getting the manifold next then tuuubo and a Tial. Gonna have Technica do the tune-OBD2 turbonium.

Everything is wrong with a S52 + obd1. Throwing away something newer and smarter to run something older and dumber at a higher cost.


totally illegal for emissions, downgrading brainpower and entire diagnostic system is not an upgrade.
.
costs more as S52's do not come with any OBD1 sensors. OBD1 sensors are not free, nor is a real s52 map for Obd1 brain.


Individuals trend towards being afraid of wiring and handling the less complex obd1 system themselves, obd2 installations are for shops and diy-ers with good logic and spreadsheet and wiring diagram reading skills.

There is no shame in admitting:

"I can't wire things worth crap" or "I'll burn my own car down to the ground melting wires"

People selling copy chips defend obd1 like champs/chimps. similar to the boot leg movie/rap music "market" in random ghettos.

in a pinch I could probably get a s52 to run with m20 1.3 moronic.... Perhaps I should to avoid wiring entirely and run even more primeval brains??

Wangan and I have been working very hard at the shop on our new engine management.

We just finished the adapters to run a 4 barrel carb in place of the throttle. It works great, we are running the S54 on it. Works great!

direct swap, just reuse your OBD1 stuff like intake, 525 oil pan, etc on the S52.

Minus the difference between the coolant pipe/rubber line. Have to decide what you plan to use.
