So that was about a 3month prodject and noe she can blow away my SVX and just about any other car on the road! ;) And we havn't even started to get more power out of it!

Hope u enjoy the pics. It's all i got right now. :cool:

cool cool ~

Coooooooooooool. Nice engine paint. Any idea on the power #'s?

What's a ballpark figure on that kind of project out of curiosity? I Dont really follow the import scene too much, but I would imagine somewhere in the range of $5000 in mods?

Jesse,
Nice! So where did you find the engine (RB25?) ?
-Bill

Figure power to be around 300 with the little bit of extra boost we could get out of the stock maf. With engine managment and a Z32 maf can be up around 350/400. Bigger turbo up to 500 on stock internals.

The cost was $800 for the running car and $2,700 for the motor, tranny and wireing harness. The work to swap would cost about $3 to $4grand but we did it all ourselves, obviously. :D

girls working on cars makes me all tingly inside

Got it from J-spec autosports online. Very good service, had the motor like 4 days after we orderd it with almost everything we needed to make it run.

Yeah, me too. :D
