I remember seeing a guy who dropped a 2jz in one up at OSW one night. Believe it was running high 9s. But judging from your car list, you seem to have had your fill of the Toyotas .

 

Seriously, if your thinkng about droping an RB26DETT you might as well drop an LS7 in it since you will be spending about the same amount for both but the LS7 has alot more support than the RoastBeef engine.

Personaly since you want a Turbo:

LS1-T/LS2-T > all

 

I hear you guys. There are alot of good setups which all their supporting arguments. I may just go with a LT1 or some SBC just because it would be a direct fit with no extra work.

 

not true.
a LS1 Alum block is WAY lighter then a RB or the L series motors that come in these S30 Z cars.
a reg SBC or LT1 is just as light or a tad heavier then the stock engines but there pushed back more so it handles alot better!
a BIG Block is a different story but im pretty sure the mounts in that Z arent for a big block.


schoellnasty: thats Mikes 2JZ powered 240Z... low 9 sec car on 255 drag radials.


Go SBC! i have turbo Z's, and other import motors in the works to go in my cars but cant beat a V8 power and sound in a old Z!
LS2 is my next goal.

that body kit looks just like the Jim Cook Racing widebody kit.

Listen to ^ that guy, he knows wtf he is talking about.

 

kind of like speedracer's mach-5... i like it though retro is cool

 

FYI: a 383 is not a big block

 

Thanks for all the feedback!

 

thanks.
