Two questions:
1- Why would it be so much faster than the current set up? Naturally aspired you're looking about about 160-170 HP if everything is done just right. Is there enough room to have both a turbo AND the larger engine?
2 - Would it be street legal? My understanding is that the engine must be at least as new as the car is, and the SR20 is no longer in production.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a V with about 170HP. If Infiniti took the V, added nav, leather, A/C seats, and got about 180HP, I would be more than happy to pay $25k for it.
It can fit I know it can. I have seen both motors in real life and have installed sr20s in countless 240sx's. I know the sizes. The only custom work that needs to be done is the mounts and piping. same as if you were doing a rb25 into a 240sx which i have also done. Actually I assisted but same difference. You might need to get custom hood if you have a top mount intercooler but I would go with front mount.
1. You will be looking at 230+hp (thats just the motor and not hpw) and turbo charged.
2. Street legal isn't an issue for me. I don't feel it should be. Usually cops don't care unless they are strictly by the book or just having a bad day, which is not most of them, I see cops all day setting bad examples. And as long as your not doing anything stupid and shift low they don't really care. Its my car why can't I know do what I want to do with it and enjoy my own car. Be able to drive to places...and you know...show it off what else.
I could get you a V with all that you listed for an Infinite and more hp for less then 25k.

Work on your suspension and 100+ could feel like your flying one with the road. Feels secure...alot more secure then stock.
