Default Motor Swap Idea?

My friend told me there is a 4.8 liter strait 6 turbo motor that nissan makes. a TB48 or something like that.... has anyone ever tried to install one of these? Just curious.... watched some videos of a Nissan Patrol .... looked sick... look it up.

I think your friend has some very good smoke.

something tells me having that much power, in a car that sits that high, is not the smartest thing in the world.

ohh I agree completely, but that would be a beast in a Z/G. I know there is nothing about that motor here. 4.8 liter strait 6 turbo.... thats a monster.... and its still a nissan motor....

I think strait 6's are a better design than V6's.... more torque potential
