I know, it was more of a joke about the pics :)
It had a 88mm on it and i dropped to the BW S366 witch is a 66mm that will flow enough for 850hp :)

I bow to the 2jz nature in you ^__^

I really thought it would be closer. I wanted to hear my car from the front but it did not work out to well...lol

x3!

We love pics!

Welcome to the mania!

You are the best thing that ever happened to a Z32! Just out of curiousity what made you decide to go with the 2JZ over an RB25 or 26?

Lots of things, 1 the price, 2 availability of parts, 3 3.0L>2.6L, 4 and most of all... because i wanted to :)

How difficult was the swap? Im actually really curious now? How much did you spend on getting it in and running?

It took me about a month from start to finish. it wasnt that bad at all and i do ALL my own work. Cost wise..... with the EMS and everything i did it was between 6-7k.

A CAI would be nice :)

Good job on getting it all in there I'm a little surprised there's enough length in the bay for the I-6.

CAI?? and it sits as far back as it possibly can.... bout a 1/4" from the firewall :)

Very very nice 300ZX. What's that weigh in at? The swap looks very clean. I take it you're using the R154 trans right? Tire sizes? Welcome bro, we hope you enjoy your stay.

I have not had it weighed yet. Well i started out with the W-58 because i did not really know much going into this swap but now have the r-154 after going through 2 w-58's :)
It has 245-40-18"s up front and 295-35-18"s in the rear.
