engine swap
 

i have a 300zx four seater and i was wondering if i could just take out the engine and swap it with a twin turbo Z engine???

hmmm..that would depend on mounting issues...is the engine code the same for the turbo and non turbo engines?

most definetly in fact your car is equiped with the mounts for the intercoolers already so ther is no fabrication invovle it fits right in but you will have to change your trans to take the extra load... just a suggestion. Z1motorports.com has this stage 4 long block tt for 10.400 dollars with a 1000 dollar core charge totally worth it will crank any where between 700bhp and 1100bhp the also have stage 3 and 2 for sale built and ready to ship

by the way you CANNOT put turbos on your N/A you will wreck your car, Beside did you know that in japan they sold the 2+2 with twin turbos! the one with the hard top 1995 in the hardest one to find!

Doing a Twin Turbo Transplant is a bit more involved than you may realise. It would actually be more economical to sell your N/A and buy a TT. There are various Zed forums on the net that have articles on how to do this, there is even a 130MB MPEG you can download and watch someone else do it. Although the engine and intercoolers will drop straight in, you have other issues like your wiring loom will need to be modified or changed, the driveline is a lot stronger in a TT, especailly the diff. Unless you are quite mechanically and electrically competant when it comes to car modifications, you will spend an absolute fortune getting someone else to do it. It may cost around the same to do a conversion yourself than to buy a TT Zed, but you will miss out on the features a TT Zed has. A N/A does not have HICAS (4 wheel steer), the brakes and radiator are larger on a TT Zed. If you do a transplant, buy a front cut and transfer everything over.
