Hi im new and im sure there is already a post like this I just haven't found it but im hopeful that i will get a few responses. sorry and thanks in advance.

I have a 1990 nissan d21 4x4 3.0l se v6 I just bought and am now finding out it needs head gaskets which I will end up doing myself along with replacing a leaking exhaust manifold so I thought since I am doing all of that maybe I should just swap in the 300 sx turbo from an 85 to 89 like I have read about however I cant seem to find any details on the swap, will my computer work with out tunning it, will my bottom end hold up, is it as simple as just bolting on the turbo parts or is it a hassle and should I just change the gaskets out. Thanks again.

The bottom end will not hold up. The compression is to high in the non turbo engines. Better off installing gaskets and calling it good.
