performance mods? for 85 n/a

so i want a turbo...
i just wanna know which one i should get. thats less than $750..
and what all i would need to do to make sure this is accomplished right.


i want to rebuild my engine before cause i got 215000 miles on it..
I was wondering if there was any place that has a stroker kit, or if that even existed for that car ha..
and last not but not least i plan to get the lsd for my car.. my friend wants to sell me it with rotors, callipers the drive shaft, struts... n he'll instal it for me for 1000.. i believe this a good deal. but my only worry is that this is off a 88 2+2. n mine isnt. other than drive shaft being longer what other things woul i need to look out for. or need to modify to make this work.. thanks

Get the stock turbo and upgrade it to a t4/t3 at az turbo or talk to a turbo dealer. if u want a stroker to increase the displacement. just get a vg33 block. and for all things ur friend is going to sell u. install it ur self and save 1k. Idk why u would want to change the driveshaft tho.

It'll run you more than that in the end to do it right.

Check the compression and do a leakdown test. No sense pulling the motor if you don't need to.

There was one. Last I heard it was in the neighborhood of $2,000.

Not necessary, but not a bad thing to have.

It's funny since you only need the differential. You can get an LSD for the Z31 for less than that new. And unless he put the LSD into his car, his 88 didn't come with one either. Oh. And the driveshaft won't fit yours.

Why in the hell can't you spell out the word "YOU"? Did you fail second grade or something? Are you stupid? Are your fingers broken? Seriously. How do you even type like that? Do you send your boss e-mails like that?

The real questions are:
- Are you going to use "U" or "YOU" in your other posts?
- Are you happier not looking like a 12 year old text message sender?

these guys say basic bolt ons dont do much with these cars but i would think a fuel exaust 2.5-3 inches headers or dual exaust, a cai functional not underneath the hood. Would give you just a little bit more power maybe 20hp

Give it a shot... dyno your car right now, add those items, dyno the car again @ the same shop, and report the results.
