Will have pictures tomorrow.Just bought it today and its in my barn right now. Its a redtop 1991 20-45k miles. It was very unexpected since I wanted to get a ca18det and Im getting a 240z this thursday. Couldnt pass up a good deal =$850 for motorset, transmission, and turbo. Missing some parts but I think it was well worth it. Will have to be here more often than the CA forum. Wish me luck= This will go in my 240sx btw. And hopefully everyone has good advice/tips. Thanks.

JDM_master_x and his friend. His well known here in North California. The compression is good, Ill get the compression numbers soon. Ill be taking some parts off and clean it and such. Will also be replacing some things and all of the hoses with new ones or stainless steel lines. Im kind of broke right now since I pay for my things and dont ask any money from my parents and will be getting another car. And thanks for the good words. Any advice on what I should do first?

Get the motor in first and get it all running good (1st). It always cost more than you think. I don't see any cleaning needed, engine looks really good. Did you get the stock turbo with the engine (t25)?
