Wes I can get the engine, transmission wiring harness and computer for $1,000.

To be correct George 340HP N/A and with a good exhaust and intake 400+HP, but if you TT it to 15# boost, 'bout 800HP give or take a few.

Re: VH45DETT in a Z!

Is that a sponsership thing where you get engines for dirt cheap? And can you get me a VQ30DE with motor mounts and wiring with ECU? I am in no rush on that.

are you a crack baby??? your gonna end up shelling out some big bucks so you can here turbos spooling and BOV's....and then spend money on new upholestry because your gonna start having sudden bowel movements in your cockpit...

Re: VH45DETT in a Z!

haha, well theres really no reason to TT a motor that big, its already supreme, i just want to have the 300zx a respected car and sound cool plus i could get the TT emblem without feeling like a poser and the TT spoiler cause i like those

how is the powerband on a VH compared to a VG, I would guess that the VH has more power at lower rpms because its for torque ...

I think it would be in your best interest if you went back and viewed this video again before you say you want to install a TT kit for the sound. I think unless you install a very quite exhaust you'll never hear the turbo sound. And I think K3 is correct about your upholestry issue. Not only that, you'd better buy some stock in a tire company, as you'll be going through tires like shit through a tin horn.
