just wondering as they look the same
im talking about the EFI engines are they the same??

physically you can, as they are practically the same engine. Legally you cant put an older motor in a newer car (well here in victoria anyway).

motor will fit, efi will bolt on too... only difference is internal to the motor... tr/ts efi has roller rockers and slightly different compression ratio. TR/TS efi have provisioning in the head for a knock sensor. TP head may not have this.

bottom line: it will fit, but try to source a tr/ts motor... or maybe just a tr/ts head on the tp block.

[QUOTE=magna buff]doesnt seem to be an economical way to gpo put an older motor into a newer car
that would just devalue it

lol DEVALUE IT.
i dont think magnas need any help in that department

i was just wondering because i was looking at a couple and found a TP
engine that was recoed not long ago and its sounds great and its looks identical to mine
mine has the usual timing chain rattle and it ****s me to tears
the TP motor im talking about i can have for $300 so if their the same thats a cheap
replacment also its a 91 TP and mines a 91 TR so rego wont be a problem.

tp motor didn't have a knock sensor in it's head that your tr's efi system requires to work properly and efficiently. however, if the tp motor has a head that's marked M5 (if someone wants to correct me on that one) M6 or M7, then that'll be fine as these heads are off a TR/TS motor anyways.
