To do it you need a 3sgte flywheel and clutch along with the gearbox and shafts and the gearchange cables. Took us a few hours in the evening after work first time, but we did change the rear subframe, discs f&r, calipers, hoses, and anti roll bars to the rev3 turbo bits at the same time as it was a rev1 na.
The second car was a rev3 na with a low mileage rev3 turbo box in which has now been fitted into a rev5 turbo conversion :rolleyes:

This makes more sense because na clutches are weak and you'll more likely get clutch slip than wheel spin. Turbo clutches are much better covered aftermarket and the standard item is far superior over the na item.
Na drive shafts are also weaker and not equal length.

Lsd is a great improvement, its the only thing that lets the mk2 na down. Drivers rear wheel spins wild on right turns!
