True, but there is a small sense of accomplishment in putting together your first turbo car. If it breaks at least you didn't spend a bunch of money for a short term engine. (FYI Kevin keeps talking about my old ka-t which was fun and for 1100 I got my 11 months of fun out of it as a daily)

As far as the put ls1 in it. I like nissan with nissan. In my dumber youth days I thought it was cool to see a 2j or V8 in a s-chassis, but now I know that everything has been done before and there is no reason to try to be different it just causes more headaches than happiness. For example chin180sx if he is even still on TR hasn't had his car running since he took the SR out.
