That's a question for you to answer. If you don't have the money stay non turbo. If you are gonna go gte make sure you have it fully rebuilt. It will save you a lot of headaches in the future. If you have the money and want to do a engine swap I would consider a jz swap.

5-6k should get it done.

A little more but a way better engine. The engines are about the same price. The difference would be in the wiring harness, motor mounts, intercooler, and bell housing. Probably a couple thousand more then 7mgte swap. If you do your own wiring you save $800 dollars but will be a big headache.

No, where I work only the old guys get spring break off.

If your gonna swap to a 7mgte, you might want to look into a jz engine.

My advice is have a car fund because something will always come up. The head gaskets are notorious for blowing. But as long as the head is torqued down to spec's you should be good.

Not to many jz guys in San Antonio. I kinda figured you where in Dallas, or Houston.

What engine? Was it rebuilt? If it was then you are probably gonna be alright. Metal head gasket, or felpro type? What kind of head bolts? Do you plan on any mods?

It's almost 30 years old. You are gonna have one problem after another, and it's gonna spend more time in the garage then on the road more then likely. Do you have plenty of money to throw at it?

Shazzy, where in texas are you from?

Vvti or non vvti? Is there a difference in the two?

Oh, I see. I think you might have the wrong oil sending unit.

Drift motion sells the adapter. It's a braided line that accepts a 7m sensor so that your stock oil pressure gauge will work.

That's pretty much my experience. Spools as soon as you hit the gas. Also, I wonder why more guys don't run these turbos. They are cheap, they perform, and are supposed to be durable. I'm a truck driver and my freightliner Runs a borg warner. I have never had a turbo go out one me. And we...

Post some pics.

Stock cams, and 4000 or so. I haven't really done any adjusting, since I still have yet to install my safc. I should have it in tomorrow.

Just a update for those who read this in the future. I installed the s362 fmw with the 550's and it spools up very quick. When cruising, as soon as I getting on the gas it starts building boost. Very happy with my choice of turbo.

Just saw what you posted. Maybe a main relay?

I'm gonna go with bad connection or ground out.
