          Ya but if you can get a B6T, you'd have all the parts to run it EFI, which brings back to the question of why?

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            And anything you'd need to replace can be easily found on Rockauto, Ebay, and or the use of Miata equivalent parts speaking from personal experience.

                    Where are you from? Cause if you're in the US, wouldn't there be a junkyard nearby you could look for one?

                      XR2's are exclusively turbocharged.

                        I know all xr2s are turbo. I am askking wether the sensors are different beetween turbo and na. Being that the ebayer didn't specify turbo or na

                            To answer your original question, it would not be feasable to try and carb an EFI B6T. You would lose all the engine management control, plus, carbs and turbos don't mix very well. Yes, it's possible in theory, but there's a reason the car makers went to EFI on turbo motors as fast as they could (reference any of the carb'd turbo cars of the 1980s). If you had a carbureted car to start and decided to add a blow-thru turbo it would be different.

                              They're the same between NA and turbo. If you have Capri parts needs - contact me first!! I have a massive pile of parts, and if I don't have it, I can point you where to get it. My buddy Russ has been running www.roo-sport.com for a year now & he can order new OE parts for you if NEW is what you need. And I know many other folks with parts cars, I've become quite the used parts peddler recently :p

                              Like I said: parts availability, especially electronics - NOT a problem with the Capri.
                              That being said, I have a couple GOOD USED tps' on hand - pm me if you're interested
