engine swap or rebuild?
alright so i bought an 86 non-turbo, and it has 252xxx miles on it. aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats alot. and N/A is boring. now my question is, what is the cheapest option out of these two: swap in a turbo engine, or have the engine rebuilt and buy a turbo kit. ive never done anything of this magnitude so im probably going to let somebody qualified do it, but i would be acquiring the parts myself. suggestions?

if u want a turbo kit i have the turbo manifold with t3 oil and water cooled, turbo oil pan, turbo injectors and fuel rail, the turbo pipes, turbo maf and ecu. all these came off a 87 w series z31. to pretty much get you up and going after a rebuild on the engine. trying to sell these all in one so if you want tell me.

this has been discussed to death. try a search please.
in a nutshell though, the best and cheapest way to turbo your z31 is to sell it and buy a turbo car. period. anyone who tells you different has their head up their ***. next would be to swap in a turbo motor. there isn't a "turbo kit" for this car. you can try and convert the NA motor to turbo, but it's a pain in the *** and not worth the effort, as you'll only be able to run about 6psi without blowing it up.
