I am a new Z owner. I recently traded my S14 for a 90 Z32 N/A. It has an auto and that needs to go. I have a friend who said hew would pay for the twin turbo swap. (IDK why, guess he's REALLY happy with the S13 I built for him.) What I need to know is since there is so little compression difference between the N/A and TT motor, and no difference on the cams, should I even bother swapping motors or simply bolt on turbos? I know that this will require a Wiring harness and ecu as well. I'm not lookign for serious HP, If i was I woudl be rebuilding the motor from scratch. I plan to do that, but not for some time. I'm looking for 350 ish HP. Even this is prolly not going to happen untill next summer. I just like to plan ahead and research thoroughly.

Thanks,John Leoanrd

Can't just bolt on the turbos. Do the swap. Also post up some pics of your Z32.

BIG compression difference..... Buy a clip and then you can squeeze 400 out of it with bolt ons.

Thanks guys. I was leaning twards a clip since I need to do the 5spd swap anyways, so looks like thats where I'll be going. I'd kind of rather rebuild than get a clip but with all I'd have to buy it will prolly be cheaper to get the clip.

I'll get pics as soon as I can. No digi cept on the phone and that sucks.
