Dreamer thread.
OP makes post, calls ppl with logical comments and questions haters. There are soo many seasoned mechanics, professional racers and veterans on the VQ platform here and he chooses to be a sourpuss child with an attitude disrespectin moderators. Don't %$@& where you eat.
I wouldnt give ppl like him the time of day.

45second cost estimate...
built engine(including some head work) ($12k)
chassis/vehicle ($8k)
tools/garage initial setup ($3k)
tuning platform/accessories ($3k)
FI & IC ($12k)
tuning/dyno time ($1.5k)
cooling ($1.5k)
exhaust ($2k)
wheel/tires/brake upgrades($5k)
suspension upgrades ($5k)
clutch/flywheel/trans upgrades($4k)
+/-$57k to make 650hp - 800hp somewhat reliable?? Sounds reasonable right?
Jasen - if you think you want to go down this road I would highly encourage you to do so ... it may be (eeehhhhh ... outside of college and professional exam/certifications related to your RN) quite possibly the most fulfilling you'll do in your life.
I wouldnt let anyone who's 'hating' discourage you (as this is the main function of this forum) but I would listen to what the respected members of this forum are warning you about.
next, go to the bank and get out $57,000 in cash and sit in on your coffee table and ask yourself if you want a built rocketship Z sled or you want that $57k in your bank account.
I have more than $57k invested in my setup (including the car) all things considered since buying the car back in 2005. Would I do it all over again?? I can't answer that question but damn, it's been a fun ride and I'm a much smarter and well rounded person as it relates to cars - which sometimes money cannot buy.
If you decide to go down this route create a build page to document your build, trials, tribulations

we all have our own taste driving styles and what works for us. We all want something diff from a Z whether its drift or drag the setups arnt the same. So any good options I'm open to. Let me know you're suggestions. Thanks
It's whatever you want - its your money, your car, and ultimately your decision. If youre serious about moving forward research research research, make a budget, make a schedule, make a plan, mimic what others have done on their builds, and dont reinvent any wheels.
Start a build page with pictures and keep it updated.
Thats all I got ... give 'em hell

Thank you. You're right and I will. As you said earlier it's not worth the swap but I cant get the hp I need out of a zee for 1/ 4 mile that I can get out of a 2jz. But i love this car and dont want it to be track only..
