Is there a kit to make your regular engine a turbo engine?

Yes, such kits do exist but there is alot to consider. There are several things you have to know about your engine before you buy a turbo. Check and see what engine size and model your car has, and then look up to see if turbo kits exist in that engine size. If you install yourself, make sure you don't overboost your engine and blow it.

Where is the blow out valve located on a z31?

There is no BOV in the z31 because of the 6-8psi stock. There is an emergency pop off valve located on the intake manifold. The round thing that sticks out. That is to keep the engine from overboosting. Take this off if you are going to add boost. On a stock z31 don't go over 12psi without an intercooler. john. The z31 has an internal wastegate that starts to open around 3psi so there is little chance you will overboost.
