just for you people who have thinkin about running nitrous, with the nitrous express 70 shot wet system and the full exaust from headers back with a air flow controller i can make an estimated 340rwhp. i only say that because my dad has a 300zx twin turbo with intake and full exuast headers to race pipes, and ive raced him and as soon as i launched i started pulling on him pretty hard... but i dont know what do you smarter guys think?

Very true, when installed and used properly, nitrous is helpful.

Some key points is get a wet shot, don't forget after 75shot start retard timing, and I would also suggest getting a rpm window switch. Keep eye on nitrous pressure, and a/f ratio to make sure your aren't running lean.


I doubt your making that much to the wheels with a 70 shot, but it does help alot.

PS: Nothing like boost though...

yeah i didnt really think i was but i sure as hell can leave on my dad... it makes him mad, and i think its funny...

as far as boost goes i want to do the gte swap but, i think i'm just gonna buy a supra chasis and start from scratch. reason being they are my favorite car, i used to have a '93 5speed n/a but i got alittle too confident in my drifting and found a ditch to wreck in... made me sick...

Why not get a sc300 and do either a NA-T, Full 2JZ-GTE swap, or 1JZ-GTE swap?? It will cost less than getting a Supra.

Or get a 240 and do a 2JZ-GTE swap...

my favorite car is a supra, and i figured getting a supra body without a motor for like 5k and i can get a motor and new trany for about 4k, so right there im at 9k and i figured 2-3k install and i have a tt supra for like 11-12k. and i would have the is for every day driving. instead of dropping the same amount for a reliable turbo kit. but as far as the full gte swap i dont have a clue how much that costs if thats alot cheaper then i would probably do that... damn, i just typed that out and then i figured out you were talking about an sc or 240 apposed to a supra... im a retard... i thought you were just talking about boost in general... feel free to laugh at my expence...

You can get a USDM 2JZ-GTE with V160 for $4k!?!?!?!

Hmmm, I though V160 alone goes for $3-4k... Maybe I'm just out of the loop since I really don't research prices on stuff I don't need as of now, but I have been keeping up with all the 2JZ swapped 240s.

Either way, good luck with your next project, and post up some pics as you progress.

its been about a year since i looked but i was looking for one to put in my old supra, and thats what i remember. but i dont remember alot of the specifics... but i swear it was a new 2jz-gte with a 6 speed transmition for like 4-5k...

Eh~

Bottom line is that it is too expensive...
