ok

so my friend did a lil research for me..and found me a complete turbo engine in the neighbooring town....its been taken out and stored...they got all the paper work for it...it runs 130 compression across all cyl's...this is what he told me i gotta phone them too....they want 650 and if i give them my block they knock off 100 dollars....
so for 550 i can get a complete one..and appearantly they guarantee it against oil leaks....ill have to call for more info tho...wish me luck

Woo! Let's hope you snag that one. That's a hell of a lot cheaper than the RB25DETs I've been looking at. I want a turbo engine for my birthday ...

I don't think that's a good deal, considering he does'nt know if half the stuff works, and the pic is to dark to tell what it looks like. Also, the owner doesn't know anything about the car, Z or otherwise!

I'd pass on that!!

If someone were to find a turbo engine for less than a grand, could you sneak it accross the border from washington?

So what you're saying is I should buy up all the turbo engines I can and sell them to poor Canadians for a huge markup because I would have a monopoly? Muahahha!
