junkyard? any sort of engine supplier in your area, or you can check other forum classifieds like 300zxclub.com etc. there no real right answer to that question. you just kinda have to search around and find what would work best for you yah know?

Thanks guys
I'm looking for one with the manual tranny
auto kinda gets pretty boring to drive.
gotta let you all know that I really like drifting the z
my last car was 240sx and its pretty clumsy
but the z is so tight and light, pretty amazing car
can't wait to buy the 280 soon

ok so i found the right engine and i found the right guy to do the work.
its a SR20DET from an s13
pushing 200+hp with the potential to hit higher, way higher.
total cost including engine price+labor+parts estimated $2000
now adding a some other performance parts including new turbo and intake system
my estimated cost goes up to $3200
looks like i'm only $1.2k away from what i want it to be
and thats just mechanical. still got some body work and interior work as well
i was kinda hoping to have it ready by next month for a car show at my school
but not gonna happen... atleast it'll be ready within two months( mechanical wise) for me to take it on the strip

really, a vg30et will give you more power cheaper, and be a hell of a lot easier to swap in. and the z31 is a heavy bitch, you really want a bit more torque than an SR will put out. but hey, good luck with the sr anyways.

spend 3200 on a v8 and have 500hp , But I do like the SR20, it has potential. I just would put it in a light car... but its your money.
heck I have seen turbo 300zxs around here for way less than 3200, heck mine was 1k. sometimes I think its cheaper for people to wait and buy a turbo car.
