Writeup:
My Z started out as my daily driver. I spent most of my money on it making look nice. I put nice rims on it, new paint, a complete 2000watt stereo system, a ps2 with 7” dash mounted monitor and sparco seats. But when I final finessed school and got a real job I bought another vehicle and officially mad my Z my toy. I knew I wanted at least 350HP and I knew that meant a turbo. I looked for about 2 months before I found a 86T parts car. I bought it for $500. Now that I had the motor I need to know what supporting mods I would need. Weel after about 3 months on the computer and reading everything I could on turbo’s and Z31’s I had a pretty good list of what I needed. So I spent the next few months buying all my parts. So now that I had all the parts I looked for a good shop to install it all and found one in Tampa. The owner Kyle and I got together and talked about what I wanted and what I had to get there. So he said he could do it and I made the trip to Tampa. Kyle took truck load of parts and a trailer with my parts car on it and 2 months later I had a 353WHP 86 Z31T. I am very happy with it and I am enjoying my toy. We are going to be upgrading it again at the beginning of the year and we will be shooting for 600-700WHP.
