enough said, hks hiper exhaust, maghan racing downpipe hsk ssqv bov manual boost controller set for 13 psi hopefully she'll spike at 1bar custom FMIC as well as a racing clutch what do you think about fidanza? i was thinking ATC but the torque capacity is low for what i'm going to have..Spec is a little bit better.

oh yeah and who says it's too expensive too convert to twin turbo? lmao!!!93 300zx purchased for 2 grand i'm puting potentially 3 grand into it. now you tell me i didnt beat the system? btw the motor is an entire kit so dont say it dont come with no ECU read it jerks! but yeah i beat the system. thank you all.

[/quote]Now, honestly, can you do it for $3000? Engine/Transmission (and ECU) is $1999 plus shipping. (You do have a loading dock or fork truck, right. Delivery on the ground is usually more.) I understand that you have the ECU, but inter-coolers, piping, and installation for less than $1K? I suppose it would be possible if you had a professional style garage with all the tools and engine hoist and all...

I assume that you already have the: Quote »hks hiper exhaust, maghan racing downpipe hsk ssqv bov manual boost controller[/quote](because they aren't included...) And..

Quote »btw the motor is an entire kit so dont say it dont come with no ECU read it jerks![/quote]Yes, I guess you got us. We're all "jerks". You obviously know more than I do, and maybe more than anyone else. Please keep us posted!

owned. haha.

EDIT: looked at the link, that does look like a pretty good deal actually, but he's right ^^ about needing the piping and intercoolers. Also when you do the swap you might want to get new turbos, water pulley, timing belt, engine harness, ect... Do it right the first time and you won't regret it.

fidanza makes flywheels and not clutches to the best of my knowledge, and their flywheels are great, I have one in my 240Z, spec clutches I have heard both good and bad, ACT I have heard nothing but good, click the link in my sig, great prices on flywheels and clutches, I got my flywheel from them, awesome customer service!

noobs.

what about the rad? what about the rad supports? and the oil cooler? the intercoolers and the piping?

GREAT DEAL MAN (*sarcasm*). seeing as you can buy a jdm twinturbo for 7000$ and not have to do any work on it.

And you may have to deal with a raged out motor.

And I have never found a Jdm TT Z for 7 G's (and not all of us are lucky enough to live in Canada)

Let the dude have his moment of glory hell he got a 93 Z for 2 grand

Well, hats off to him if he can put it together for 7000$, but I doubt it.

Way to be a tool man. Next time you want to spout about parts and deals, make sure you know what you're talking about, spell things correctly, and avoid calling people jerks. Being an e-thug doesn't make you a badass in real life. Kids these days.....what's wrong with you?

its a joke. you can buy the cars already imported and registered/liscenced.

Only restriction we have is that the car has to be 15 years old before its legal for registration and to be exempt from safety inspections/emissions and they're talking about putting it up to 25, but that's been in talks for the last 3 years and nothing has ever been done about it.
