I'm new to this forum but not to tuning cars. I've worked with quite a few Hondas and I drive a B16 EK. My Beater ride is a 1990 nissan pickup. I have a serious question about a nissan. I've wanted to do rear wheel drive car for awhile but I didn't want to buy another car. My question is, has anybody put one of the DOHC Turbo motors in my truck or anything similar to it. I have around 6000 to do the swap and any modifications. It woldn't need P/S,A/C, cruise, or any of that sissy stuff:) Just the basics.

Bottom of the page... This guy did a nice job on his, four link rear suspension and all. It's the only one I can find with pics posted. It was actually for sale sometime last year for like 6K.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read whose truck that was! Kyle Allegood is the older brother of a good friend of mine from school who's always talking about his brothers "phat" truck....never believed him though, wow.

Does anybody know how I can get into touch with this guy? I tried the E-mail address given on the site but it didn't work. Wouldn't it be better to put the torquier KA in such a heavy vehicle. How does my truck weigh anyway?

I am turbocharging my 95 H-Body right now......and for the past couple years..LOL....but I'm REALLY close now. But anyway, it can be done fairly easy. There is a guy on http://www.realnissan.com who turbocharged his SOHC KA H-Body and supposedly runs in the 11's. Check it out.

Here is the direct link...http://www.realnissan.com/gallery.asp

I've already tried contacting the guys at RealNissan about getting this guy's info, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Hope this helped
