And why a RB26DETT and not a 2JZGTE? 2JZGTE swaps are most likely much easier, and has more parts readily available. Just curious.
cause no one else has done it

I thought about buying a GS300/400 shell and swapping a LSx with t-56 6 spd tranny and twin turbos.........I currently have a S14 LSx project that is on going.

Full-Race has a S14 w/ a RB26 set-up called the R14 and it took forever to get it to run. Very few have the resources they have so it gonna be tough to drop it in a 2gen. The LSx maybe more exotic than a RB26 or a 2JZGTE.

LSx > rb26dett fa shooooooooo; in terms of simplicity, reliability, cost, ease/difficulty of getting parts, power, etc.
