I was just given an 88 na. A friend of mine and i are wanting to build it into a 20b. What would be some good suggestions on where to get parts and text info. I have biult enough 12's and 13's that I don't think I'll have any problem biulding a 20. Is there somethings I may need to watch out for or consider in our endeavor. Any help or knowledge sharing would be greatly appreciated

 

Let's see... there's the standard $10k which has been shown to be a good ballpark minimum estimate, k2rd mounts at $420, Haltech E6K for $1200, FD downpipe for $?, new radiator $?, FMIC at least $1000 etc.

How'd I do guys?

 

start with a TII body, that way you dont have to change the drive line.

i like my 10k parts and 350 hours of labor answer.

Yes, I found this out the hard way. The non-turbo car will still work, but it's cheaper and easier to simply start with a TII. I also recommend using an S5 front end, or a custom front end, to maximize the cooling which is vital to the 20B.

Here are some web sites which may help:

BTW, this car is for sale, and will cost you much less than it would to have it built:
