Plenty of carb for that engine. Go find some cams and headers (and exhaust, and...).

No. Why would they? They're a completely different engine. :shock:

Now that you know what you have, you still need to do a ton of research yourself. Learn about your new hobby, learn about your car, get your mechanical skills in order, etc. You jump in with both feet and no knowledge, you're going to end up with a busted 510.

Ultimately, what and how do you desire the car to be? That end-goal should be the guiding force that drives intermediate decision processes.

You say EFI & turbo? If so, then how much torque do you hope to have? How much HP do you hope to have? That will force many part selections for components that must be used as a result of your plan; once you have an idea of the desired p amount of torque and desired q amount of power, you can start to think about the rest of the things you'll need to stay alive, in one piece, and out of harm's way: Brakes, Suspension, Tires, Etc., Other important safety concerns...

Fun!

the intake will not fit but the exhaust manifolds will if you pull out the studs and rearange them accordingly. cams no because the z32 is a vg30dett and not a vg30et
