Ya if thats with a refreshed motor I could do that.... I want a RB sooo bad.
I better start saving. I dont think I'd go with that shop though..
Just cuz they say they "can" do it. Anyone familiar with this shop?

so any numbers? i take it that this is more of a "i want to be different" sort of thing as opposed to building a VQ35 and boosting it. costs should be about the same.

One thing I do know is that he drives an LS1 350z on one of the drift circuits. Search youtube for it... Plus that shop has done two LS swaps here in the area. One into a Z and the other into a G. They are reputable tuners around here and provide good service from my research.

I just want a RB26.. It's a turbo engine, alot of potential, sounds amazing, revs to like 12k in some cases. The 2JZ is cool to but not Nissan.
I want to keep it nissan and be bad ***! Especially if it costs the same.

i give it credit because this is a badass swap, and looks like alot of quality time and work went into it, but imho i feel it is unnecessary. the vq is a proven motor with .9l more displacement stock, and holds plenty of power, all around. engine, drivetrain and all.

but im a sucker for rb's. now, can we get a dyno chart? interesting in seeing the midrange punch. and a rough estimate on cost would be pretty cool too

[QUOTE=05blakz33;7715558]I bought my Z new back in 2005 but could never figure out what route to take untill driving my friends rb powered 300zx.. I was hooked! After being shafted by a local vendor in the area i ended up with useless motor and was referred to Lethal Injection by a local Forum. Being more then willing to help they hooked me up with a fresh block to begin my swap in exchange for mine and the planning started. The cars been at the shop for roughly 4 months dealing with a lot of trial and error but is counting down its final weeks before completing the swap.
