Dude get your block honed buy some new pistons and rings learn how to use plasigauge and measure for new rod bearings. get some new rod bolts and head studs then put it back together. get a chipped ecu and use crome to tune it.

You have enough money to do all that and peice togethera decent turbo kit. And have mass money left over. It all comes with experiance. You need to put some research into what your about to.

If you can't do any of this then sell the honda and buy something thats stock and will make you happy.

Wouldn't trust him enough to reassemble a Honda bottom end when he starts threads like this.

worst idea ever, if you're having trouble with a b series in a hatch you do not want to ---- with a VG in a 300zx, especially a tt. That is the absolute worst car I've ever worked on in my life.

I don't think it's possible to work on a Z32 without making a couple new swear words and not shedding some blood and losing some skin. Stick with the hatch.

I have a better idea.

Rather than you piss away $4000 on FMU's and E-bay turbo kits, give me the money.





For real though, a fairly decent homemade kit should cost around $1000. Stay away from E-bay kits, and get some real fuel management.

if you dont have the scratch for a built b16 you really cant swing a 300. You might be able to get one in your driveway but I can see "for sale 300zx needs some work" in the classifieds already

Go with the Nissan. Oh wait do you have normal sized hands? Forget it.

Ebay turbo kit-1100.00
and that will leave me some for FMU, DSM injetors, and a 255 fuel pump.

If I keep he honda this will be te route I go. Or like I said I could get a Z32.

with this information, my advice would be to not build a turbo honda....

you need thin asian hands to work on a z, its very ------- difficult to work on, its a really nice car, and fun with basic mods. doing a engine swap in that was a pain in the ass though, id rather swap 10 honda engines than 1 z engine. But if you can work on a Z you'll have no problem with other cars.

haha i was thinking all those things when i saw his first post. no ----, it took me and a friend almost 45 minutes to ------- change the spark plugs. gay ass individual coils - and the rear two are hidden under so much bullshit. But it was a badass car even in n/a trim. Fun as hell.
