its much easier to plum all the exhaust into one hole than it is to run dual exhausts, daul intakes, dual intercoolers, 2 oil drains, 2 oil lines, 2 coolant lines.....

also, have you ever worked on a 300zxTT? I have, its a goddamn nightmare. half of the porblem is the suspension tho. it hogs up too much engine bay room. I actually have MOST of the parts to put a VG30DE into an S13 if I can find a shell at a decent price. stole them all off of an Infiniti J30, including the front crossmember/engine mounts. got a 5 speed transmission from a Z31 300zx and also took all of the 5 lug suspension stuff off of a J30. would be pretty trick, even NA if I could find a decent shell or blown motor for not an arm and a leg.

i think he meant the part about using a v engine design and a single turbo.
i think that's a grand job he's done, and the only complaints from the other board members are about the wheels

yep, its 90-96 300zx or z32 Engine which is the VG30DE to be exact. I am a huge Z lover. It looks alot easier to work on in the 240 than in a Z. It looks like the non turbo motor tho with a huge single turbo. I dont know why anyone would do that on a V6.

your wrong its the TT motor...trust me

LOL, I am not sure if I know either. Correct me if I am wrong, that is a 300ZX engine correct? Don't know too much about the Nissans.

it is a 300ZX VG30 TT motor in a 240sx...519hp 485tq - 22psi
11.69 @ 125mph - 17psi..My plans are to get it into the 10's on drag radials without opening up the motor (bone stock internally) and on the stock ecu. Right now it just has a pt61 and 555cc injectors on the stock ecu with a SAFC. My plan was to keep it simple, I just had no idea simple could potentially run 10's lol. I made everything for the car; mounts, manifolds, piping, ect. The firewall is completely smoothed/shaved and the brakes now reside under the dash
