unfortunately my n/a z31's engine **** the bed with 155k miles on it. because the body is in good shape and i love it soo much, i decided to get a new engine for in.

just a question, if i were to get a TURBO engine for it, what other changes would I have to make??????? trying to turn this into a good thing

skib

the best thing to do is find a turbo Z31 parts car with the complete motor in it and rebuild it/make sure its good

Welcome to ZDriver!

Have you ever done a motor swap or pulled a motor? For a first timer, it may be quite a job. The main things you need:
-COMPLETE VG30ET motor
-COMPLETE efi harness & computer
-Wiring diagrams for both the n/a and turbo
-Various fuel, coolant, and oil lines.

There's lots of info about motor swaps here, on hybridz, and also check out redz31.com.

And like Skib said, make sure the motor is good before doing the swap. Unless you want to rebuild it anyway.

and take it from me, make sure all your lines are clear.... esp your turbo oil feed line


a stock turbo lasts 15min with no oil ask me how I know

the sheer point was perfectly smooth too, it looked like the end was machined
