I was there at some point, but to be realistic, it's not going to happen for me. I gather 60% of the parts to build a 3.1 stroker turbo and just basically stop. I realized that its not going to happen. Yes he's got a killer Z, but theres better options out there now. I felt that by the time I spent that money on a engine that can only be exclusive to my car, I can go out and get a more dated engine people are more fimiliar with and whenever I get sick of it, I can swap it to a 240sx or even a Rx-7. Just to leave my options open. The 3.1 stroker turbo is great, but its out of it's time now. The RB and 2jz's can produce 500hp easily and thats just the beggining for it while the L-series is almost maxing out. Hey I would still love to build a 3.1 stroker turbo If I had the extra money.
Basically there was a manga back in the 90's called Wangan Midnight about racing through the wangan . The main character drivers a S30 that he found sitting in the local junkyard. The setup was a 3.1 stroker Twin Turbo pushing out around 700HP or more to be exact 650PSI on a OHC head not the Giken on Triple Mikuni 50's. His greatest rival was a 993 Turbo, but the only way he can catch up to him is if the Z's is being possessed. Thats why they call it the Devil Z. Later on in the manga, he uses ITBS. If you want to see a trailer of the video game, go to the non-tech board and look for Wangan midnight Ps3 Trailer.
