300zx z32 engine swap? any tipes + advice

i've heard many agruements about keeping the motor and just upgradeing or upgrading to the sr20dett, or the db26? i've seem many arguements and as the db26 may not be cheap $$$ can't prevent me from having a good time

first off let me start im a beginner auto technician still learning my ways around a car, im in love with drift and i am pretty good at doing it for have only doing it 3 times, i didn't go to school im learning 100% hands on by 3 mechanics of 30-40 years of experience.

PLEASE IF GIVING ADVICE ON AN ENGINE MAKE PROVIDE WHY YOU THINK THAT ENGINE IS RIGHT FOR MY CAUSE, and or if u think i should keep the vg30 please give possible fitting mods i can do with an example of HP?


[btw i can do the swap work and all car work my self so no labor charges so that gives me a little more money to play with so a reasonable price range would be good but im willing to drop as much as i need to into my car to get the horses and weight i need, ik the 300 isnt exactly your ideal light car but i like the weight to power ratio at 450hp-600 (600 if possible?)]



i was told to go with an sr20 swap for the 300zx im looking to buy a decent 300 and swap a good engine that i can up to atleast 450hp? is this possible? is turbo upgrade available for this too?



also, i want the 300zx cause its one of my favorite models, you can try to tell me to go buy a er34 or an rx7 but im doing it for my love of the 300zx and i like 200s 270s and 350s but my favorite is the 300 for reasons i can't really explain, its not just the bodystyle but its more of a they aren't popular, and if u say im an idiot becuase of the handling + weight of the 300 don't bother commenting on this ****...people drift dodge challengers, its not the weight its the controll you can bring with the weight of your car



PLEASE DON'T HATE/FLAME I'M JUST TRYING TO RECIEVE GOOD INFORMATION FROM EXPERIENCE DRIVERS/DRIFTERS/MECHANICS/ENGINEERS'

Welcome to ZDriver!

#1: What is your current car? A Z32? TT or N/A? Year? Do you even have a Z32 at the moment?
#2: As I stated in the other thread you replied to, What is your budget?

#3: There is no such thing as an SR20DETT or DB26... there is an SR20DET, and RB26DETT.
