Message	I have completed the fitment of the Skyline turbos on the Z motor. Here I have it all mocked together. I still need to pull it apart and get my manifolds coated, then put it all together with gaskets. It's getting there! If you look close you can see that I had to weld a 1/4" spacer to the manifold so the compressor housing would clear. I've also got my EGT probe mounted and I eliminated the EGR. I had to make the compressor housing outlet adaptors and I had to modify the wastegate actuator mounting. These turbos will give much better power than sport 500's. I can do this complete conversion for anyone for less than $1500 including turbos.
