Hey guys.

 

I am looking for ideas on an engine swap. I want this thing to be able to make around 450rwhp, and somewhat realiable, that will be able to be streetable.

 

I have thought about doing a SBC but I am not sure how the weight will play in with the streetable part. Any weight guesses?

 

I am also looking at the 3S-GTE, 13B, and SR20DET, but have not found much information on the 3S or 13B engine swaps. I don't even know if it's been done.

 

I know more HP means less reliable, and the smaller engines will be pushed alot harder to make that much power.

 

Thanks

That is not necessarily an accurate statement and is more applicable to NA engines. If you want 450+hp and perfect street manners with gas mileage to boot, then turbo is the way to go. Remember, when you are not in boost, you are driving a mildly cammed, low-compression engine.

wow you know a S30Z weighs in at about 2200 lbs in full trim? do you know what 450+ hp will do to a car with that weight? MAKE IT SCREAM.

 

just put in a L31ET you'll make 380 hp easily and fuel allowing you can just turn the boost controller up and make 440 hp...if you want to get to that high a number quickly build a 383 stroker up they make huge tq and relativly high hp numbers too.. and with aluminum heads dont weigh much more than a L series engine.

 

I've never seen a 3S/13B swap (if you want reliable 13B is NOT the engine to go with)

 

You know to make a 450 hp street driven Z...it'll cost about twice what you thought because you need a fully worked suspension redone axles with Z31 CVs bigger brakes some sort of upgraded power steering etc.,

 

be prepared to shell out[/b]
