I need the oil pump. I found out it is a higher volume pump due to the turbo!

I heard that other than the 9.0:1 pistons, the internals are the same. I dunno about the rest of the engine, though.

I was thinking of getting a 5spd tranny from a Japanese MAXIMA(if possible without spending mad dough). Since they are turbo cars the tranny might be a bit beefier than the U.S. and Candian ones...
