johnZboy / '86 N/A to Turbo Build
Here are the reposted links to my '86 N/A build... This started as a modest conversion with 300 whp expectations. Once started, it got a little out of control and bit over budget. When it's done, the dyno will tell the tale of "was it worth it?" Oh well, she'll look nice.

Look for frequent updates as this projects continues. It should conclude in about four weeks.

GodZilla: Aren't we glad those other z sites didn't delete their data?
As it turns out, z31.com did delete many of the threads involving the build of this car. My apologies to Godzilla, He ain't the only one who looses data.

[OK... I am sitting here watching the Yankee's get spanked so I figured nows a good time to look at ALL the info on this rebuild. MAN you are doing an awesome job. Want to do mine? What's the cost on all this and how much time you have into it? I am even more impressed that you are doing this in your driveway!... Both thumbs up to you and all your efforts. Makes me stupid about second guessing my swap from and automatic to a standard. Keep it up man and I hope to get a chance to see this baby somewhere...hopefully it's not in a race. You don't rebuild automatic tranny's do you?
