These are the last of the Turbo Swap Pictures. I would later pull them item out (early 2008) and have it rebuilt as a flat-top L28NA. At this pointed I elected to start fixing some issues with the car that were becoming apparent. The turbo was fun, but at the time of this swap smog etc were large issues, I elected to return to a more stock solution so that I could retain the original EFI.

ZXR engine swap – I
As mentioned in the previous post there was a string of events that occurred that forced me swap out the original engine. The original engine had suffered from sitting for 20+ years in a garage. Around this time a turbo engine became available, and I had been toying with the idea of swapping in a turbo engine. The turbo was swapped in, and I ran with for some time, and it was a blast. However, there were some questions on this engine. Ultimately we pulled the engine and rebuilt the engine with flat tops and a modified cam. While the turbo was a blast, California regulations and keeping the car in as close to original trim won out. I mention these details as I did not take pictures of the car when swapping the rebuilt engine back in.
