We have an 88 Daytona Shelby Z turbo II intercooled with a 2.2. The turbo seals blew, lost all oil and then the motor blew. And I mean BLEW.only thing left that is good is the top half(head, manifolds, etc.) My question is: we have(had) a stock 2.2 TII. I have found an engine shop with a 2.2 TIV long block on sale, all turbo rated parts. What is the difference, if any, between the two blocks TII vs TIV.

Only thing I could think of is the TIV is a common block and the TII is not. That shouldn't matter when installing it, but someone else might know for sure.

TIV is a TII common block, The turbos, ECU, vacumm related parts differ from one another. Throw the TIV in, rebuild the Garrett TII turbo and your good to go!

thats what I needed to know, thanks guys

TIV have balance shafts while TII doesn't. That's pretty much the only major difference.

T3 have bal shafts, not T4's.

T3 have bal shafts, not T4's.

I read in many places that the TIV DID have balance shafts.

 

[fanatic310]

ok, now Im confused. I always thought the 2.2 block did not have balance shafts and the 2.5 did.

2.2 TIs & TIIs did not have balance shafts... 2.2 TIIIs & TIVs did along with the 2.5TI and 2.5 Tall Blocks(86-88).

My parts book must be wrong because it says turbo 2.2L 90 block (VNT block) has the balance shaft.

 

[Guest]

No,Tryingbe,you are right the VNT did have balance shafts.

 

[navyboy65]

Dido here! I have owned a VNT and took the engine apart and it had balance shafts!

 

[Guest]

I have had 4 VNTS and they all did as well. I even have the cut-away drawing from Chrysler somewhere of the VNT engine and it shows the BS. They only commonblock turbo engine that did not have BS is the 89 TII,all the rest did.

 

[tryingbe]

Have BS...ha ha

 

[ZoskalonMPI]

I was right for once!
