Iv yet to find one, thats why most P90A's are just converted to solid lifters.
No one makes replacements for the P90A hydraulic stuff

a good port/polish, hardened valve seats, larger valves, and a cam are about all the work you can do on an average L head

theres other mods but thos are the average stuff

shoot these guys an e-mail about your lifters and see what they say:
http://mizpahprecision.com/

they redo the lifters that i have in my subaru (same kind i havent had them redone) and i hear they do good work and are priced well considering they are getting harder to find for these old subarus.

acually the P90a lifter and the EA82 lifter are very similar only thing is the EA82 doesent have that threaded end

What can I say... I asked for parts off your running turbo engine and you denied me. I need to keep my oil cool! I'm burning up here!
I actually had to drive my 350Z today because my 280ZX turbo just can't take the heat.

So that oil cooler really does make a difference eh? I may end up cutting the inner fender wall to get it out. I got one of the lines disconnected, but I cannot seem to get the other disconnected.

^^^ PB Blaster & a crescent wrench. I pulled the oil cooler from my parts car a couple months ago. Be careful!!! Those threads on the oil cooler are aluminum.

I'm piping it up like WannaBrez did... route the lines through the left side radiator support hole.

I'll try my best to be careful. I just can't get the one side loose, that's a good idea though to route it through the left side rad support. I love how much more room you get without the power steering pump, the ac condenser, and compressor. Can get at the alternator so much easier.

As far as that wiring goes I think I do need to just cut the wire and run it to the FPR. Probably all the branching it does is just so it has power from the ignition and what not.
