Hey what up.. i am somewhat new to the whole technical THING with engines, suspensions,so-on and so-forth..

Alright here it goes.. I currently have a 91 300zx N/A i have placed a body kit,painted the calipers, shifter just the little things..anyway i have come to the conclusion that the odds of bringing the VG30de up to par to run somewhere from the low 13's to the low 12's will be fukn' impossible......really. however I have also come to the understanding that there is a shop in tampa that is called zfever i always thought that this shop was nothing but a sales shop until a few days ago..... SO i emailed them with the quandry that i have about my engine and the possible swap to the VG30dettt.

This dude name doug emailed me back (he seems pretty cool). He tells me that the RELIABILLITY of the SWAPED VG-twinturbo is pretty shitty.. how ever he also informed me that i can perform a SR20DET swap for around the same price and have around the ssame amount of HP and redice the weight about 300-400lbs...
wned:
I have seen this on certain sites(z32.com), but i thought no one does swaps into the z32.. i called other shops in the tampa area(some that shall be named nameless) but when i called them asking this type of question they said that the srswap was not worth it due to the SMALL engine-bay and the platform. I am currently receiving a settlement and I was considering buyuing a 240 and doing a sr swap but NOW with this info is just might be worth my wild.

Just think of the possibilites. 450rwhp +, (currently the z32 has a 55:45 weight ratio(but with the swap this could just dorp it enough to have a straight 50:50. road racing here i come..ALSO think of the supras(in the JGTC) switching out the 2JZ for the turbo 4cyl out of the MR-S so they can achieve a50:50 weight ratio. however the info on the supras was a few years back i know that the JGTC has changed some of the rules so they may have switched the engines in the supras again maybe a 8cyl out of a tundra.. turbo maybe..

i know that the z32 is a fairly heavy car (weighing in at i believe around 3300.... but also i have been reading on the whole drifting THING and i seems pretty kewl i wondered if i did this to my 300 redicing the weight would this be enough for drifting(with enough HP and suspension..)plus from what I can see happening(sorry to say) is that the 240 is becoming the next civic....BUT the 240 is everything that the civic wasn't.. rear wheel drive.. turbo. only in a 2door not a family car.. ya know....

sorry AD-HD kicking in again... so the basic question is has anyone in the area done this(or had this done) and has had any problems with it. and how do you like it compaired to the vg30de that you had in there before.. thanks for the input

p.s. this is post from the nissan tech forum and i would like some of the drifters opinions. because drifting is one of the reasons that i got the Z in the 1st place, BUT .....I have some info on the wieghts of the s13 and s14 and the 300zx. all of these with swaps i think that you might like or dislike this transformation. If you do or don't like it let me get your opinion about this issue i could really use your input... thanx

these are the places that i know of that performe that this kind of swaps.. secret services(dk) xat(no) zfever(yes) turbo toys (dk)
