So say I bought an N/A...could I get one for ~2 grand with ~100k miles on it, but a turbo kit, and have the same thing as the turbo?

What's the average cost of a turbo kit? I've searched the forum, and I've found some peope hinting that you need to change some major parts (the head, etc...) Is that the case, or is it pretty much a bolt-on job?

Mine is for sale for 1500, 85k on the motor and 186k on the body. lol. Look in my sig. Its a good get around car right now, Nothing has broken on it yet, Cept it needed a new thermostat. It needs some work to be a nice nice supra tho. But its never been crashed and has very very little rust. It was garage kept for the first 15 years of its life. Awesome car if your gona do the na-t swap.

As for the turbo swap question, Its good to get a turbo block, Or at least the pistosn and con rods, You want lower compression than the na, and the turbo block has oil squirter things, but i dunno if they are really neccesary. Other than that, you need the ecu and wiring harness, Turbo manifolds, turbo, IC, pipes, Associated hardware and wires, and a bit of time and work. lol. Like any project, It really helps to have a complete turbo car, Or one available at a junkyard. Or you can just gather the parts as you go along.

You'd be better off to buy a turbo supra, the parts are not going to be cheap to make an n/a a turbo and then you need to redo (as stated before) the bottom half of the motor. I used to work at a wrecking yard and if the yard owners know what they are doing and know what they have it's going to cost you. Look around you'll find one, I'm a long was from you but I just got an 89 turbo with 100,000 miles near perfect condition for $3,500, an 88 turbo was just in the paper last week for $2,500. They are around just got to look high and low. I also know where there is a 88 turbo with 87,000 miles on it, the lady wants $5,000 for it but it has been sitting in her yard long enough that I'm sure she'll come down on it. On the 7th of august I am going up there and I'll talk to her if she's around and get the min she'll take for it, red, low miles, targa etc, etc.
