Well, if your gonna run low boost < 8psi esp., or even high boost, you dont neccesarily have to use Nissan parts, you can buy aftermarket products for some things. Just because theres not an exact bolt on kit, dosen't mean theres nothing.It usaully a good idea not to use anything older, or more used than the engine that is already in your car. Thats just an idea though.

Know your limits and know what you're talking aboot! Some jobs are easy, some are obviously hard, and some sound easy in principle but ARE hard! (ie, the phrase, "Just drop in a turbo engine!")

ok, i get it. it won't really matter for me though because i just want to swap the z31 engine. that will be easier than trying to find a kit from the looks of it.

you'd be best off just buying Z31T manifolds and turbo, bolting it on, then having a shop build the intake and exhaust tubing for you, then let JWT worry about the ECU. get some bigger injectors and tell them what kind you've got. they'll make the ECU work with the injectors you've got.
that's pretty much it. the rest is tuning.
