I hope so.....the only problem is: Everything has to be changed. If I want a powerfull engine, I need a completely new fuel delivery, including piping, tank, pump (everything!!) Then, I need a new radiator, an oil cooler with remote oil filter, custom intercooler size, ic piping, completely new exhaust line, add some steel braided lines on top of that!!. Then, I'll be able to at least raise the boost on the engine I will swap, but the swap will need custom fitting. But I'll change the turbo to run more boost on that 8800rpm screamer. But All those things can't be done if I dont have a good suspension/braking. The suspension will be very hard to find because it's only sold in japan, but it's a full race/drift suspension, so it's expensive. Then: the braking. The only upgrade for me is the Z31 300zx or skyline. So why not go with the skyline (just to be able to say I have skyline parts on my car. But in order to do those brake swaps, I have to do a conversion from 4 to 5 lugs. Then, I'll have a car that can move, brake and turn. I'll need good seats to be well supported..........
At least the flat black paint job will cost no more than a bag of candies!! ( I can't say that about the wantabe's I want to get!!)
You can be shure that the project will be spread on 2 or 3 years!!
But that's only stage one for the engine. In order for the CA18DET to achieve 400-500 hp figures I'm looking for, I'll have to install a very cool but costly to tune standalone system...
Anyway, I think you get the point!!
