Awd 300z?

[liquidfire]

well here is my first post kinda crazy buy still, i just blew up my motor in my 87 300z so im wanting to rebuild the motor go all out forged internals port and polish the head, oversized valves, bore the block a little bit and find new cams, and twin turbo t-60 on the right and t-40 on the left, but the main thing i want to do it convert it to a AWD, has it ever been done? ...... do you think its possible. any comment suggestions let me ..... and no money is really not that big of an issue........ ill be making plenta of it in about a year .... between owning my own company and working for porsha

there was an 87(I think) in sport Z magazine awile back that had a RB26 (skyline engine and 6 speed transmission) the owner had debated using the whole drive line out of the skyline and making it awd but left it rwd for drifting purposes.... so if he thought about it I guess it CAN be done... however I don't know if it has been.

anything is possible with enought time, skill or money, actually only 2 of the 3 are needed (your pick) I seem to recalll one of the rising sun z owners did it and brought it for zcon a few years back, I doubt you'll find much info on it, just get the torch and start cutting

[liquidfire]

yeah but do you think it is worth the time and moeny?... i like the idea of having a one of a kind car.... hum how much could i sell it for ? lol

[evildky]

you could sell it for maybe half what it would cost! and thats if your lucky, if you really want to do it by all means, if however your looking to get your money back, just drop in a used VG30ET

I have yet to see or hear of an AWD Z31. I know there are a few Z31s running around with RB26 motors in them. And I've seen an article on an S30 with an RB26 and AWD. I've heard there may be another in the works, but not seen anything on it.

Is it worth it? Don't make me laugh. You'll spend 3 to 4 times the value of the car in trying to get it to work. Unless you know what you're doing (in which case, you wouldn't have asked this question). And if you knew what you were doing, you'd only spend twice the value of the car (not including the cost of the car) getting it running. But it would be very cool.

I went back and read this a little closer...

I think you are in way over your head.

First: You obviously have no clue what you're doing. You don't put two different sized turbos on opposite sides of a motor.

Second: If you actually worked for "porsha", you'd never mispell the name.

My advice? Stay in school. Get a diploma. Or at least get educated.

Ha....porsha....... Anyway It would be cool, But it would cost to much and it would take to much time. And i have no clue why you would use 2 differant turbos on that car?? But yea its up to you.....

[liquidfire]

1. there is a company i will be working in my area called porcha... they deal with upgradgin 911s and boxters

2. reason for two differnt sized turbos...t-60 takes a long time to spool up so run a t60 for high rmps for higher boost and run a t40 so i can take advange of the low rpms ....... there is reason in anything i say trust me .... and trust me i konw my way around a car ... so anymore comments to try and disprove me on anything ?......... oh yeah ......... another thing.... the block has already been bored 40 over and im trying to find thicker gasket to lower the compression ......... i dont want to stack gasket ... anyone konw where i can find some ?.......

[DanCouga]

So you are doing a sequential turbo setup? How do you plan to set that up? Isn't it overly complicated for the minimal gains you would get.

What do you want the compression to be? Isn't the VG30ET already fairly low compression wise?

[AZ-ZBum]

You can't run different sized turbos on the different sides of the motor without screwing stuff up. The engine won't be balanced and it won't run properly. There is a reason you parallel twin turbo setups run the same size turbos.

A T40 on 1.5L will probably never spool itself, let alone a T60.

No self respecting Porsche owner would ever butcher the Porsche name.

And since you have the block bored 40 over, why not just get custom pistons at the compression ratio you want?

HHhmmmm...... AZ-ZBUM at his best!
