GV260 Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Like I said, money no object.......... Just gotta win Tatts and it's done.............No harm in dreaming. Maybe BenZed will turn it into reality? Quote
BenZed Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 If money wasn't an issue, wouldn't the dream motor be an S20 head on an L28 block with a diesel crank for 3.1 ltr running aftermarket EFI 50mm throttle bodies? You'd have the best of both the R and L series then ....... There are much better cranks than the diesel cranks available from OS Giken and Kameari Quote
NZeder Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 There are much better cranks than the diesel cranks available from OS Giken and Kameari yes I agree and if you were going to build the ultimate L6 then you should put the $$ a side for such a unit having said that I have seen pics of one of those broken too Quote
ricardo Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Sorry to highjack this thread but how about a TVR Speed 6 4.0L (3996 cc/243.851 cu in) 360-405 bhp N/A straight 6 oooooohhhhh yyeeaahh sorry I need to go change my undies Speaking of non-Nissan conversions, a TVR engine would be nice, but could you imagine finding parts for it should anything go wrong (which eventually it would, being a TVR).. Shame too because TVRs are beautiful designs and hell fast. I wonder if anyone has put a BMW M3 or early M5 (E34) engine in a Z. They are NA and make a shedload of power stock and parts would be more plentiful than a TVR. I don't really like mixing and matching brands, but if I were to go for anything outside of a Nissan in my Z, it would be one of those. Quote
NZeder Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 getting a bit of the RB v L topic - but there is a guy in the US that installed a BMW V12 into a S30 that he build up as a 250GTO kit so if a BMW V12 can fit then the M3 (I would go S54B32 engine with twin VANOS and 3.2l of in-line 6 grunt) engine should be do-able once you over come the front sump issue Quote
singhy Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 this is gonna be random. but i bought a 280zx and put it in the yard next to my 63 420g jaguar...and thought why not put that motor in it its a 4.2 litre straight six with triple su's!!and puts out almost 300bhp imagine the torque in such a light car lol Quote
620Z Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Don't muck around. Just put a Chev in it for some instant real HP. Quote
peter mc Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 ha is that a l28 going by ... i think your bros car mite be faster than your chev....... Quote
620Z Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Ah your a stirrer Peter. A lot I could say to that but......... Quote
peter mc Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 yes i will admit your chev is one horn sounding thing but i love the L series ...... Quote
