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 **** 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

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 *** 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 *** 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.
