Hi all, first time on here and I'm after some help.

I want to buy a Turbo motor (to put in a project of mine) but I could do with some help.

First off, how do you tell the difference between Jap and UK spec motors (engine numbers and where to look for them?)

Secondly, I've been on the phone to a bloke who's got an engine for sale almost complete but it has no coil packs! I would like to think these are easy to come by but who sells them and how much (rough costs?)

Any other info you lot have as well as hints and tips (what to look out for when buying?) would be a great help,
Thanks

Steve
