I am sad to say that I am letting go of my 1996 Nissan 240sx. This car has been lots of fun. After finding the stock-internal limit of my VH45DE to be 819wHP, and watching the rotating assembly put 2 holes through the engine block, I have not had the time to swap another engine back in. The car basically went straight from the dyno room back into my garage, where it has sat for 8 years now. :frown:
The engine's internals were ALL stock, so swapping in another used stock engine should be all it takes.
Anyway, here's the high-level specs:
Engine: Infiniti Q45 V8 (4.5L, DOHC, ALL STOCK)
Transmission: 300zx twin turbo 5-speed
Clutch: SPEC stage 5 sintered iron disc
Transmission Adapter: Water-jet cut adapter plate, milled bell housing
Engine & Trans Mounts: Custom, solid steel mounts
Turbo: Garrett 72mm from a Detroit Diesel engine,
60mm wastegate with external dump
Intercooler: 24” x 12” x 3” fed by 3” mandrel-bent tubing
Fuel: E85 or 93 octane
Engine Management: AEM EMS, Low-Impedance Injector Driver Board
Fuel Injectors: 150 lb/hr low-impedance
Fuel Pumps: 3 parallel in-tank Walbro 255HP's staged at boost levels
Fuel System: -10AN Feed to Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
Cooling system: Radiator relocated to trunk to make space for turbo
Driveshaft: Custom
Intake Manifold: Custom, CAD CFD-Designed, short-runner, balanced plenums
Exhaust Manifolds: Stock tubular manifolds re-designed to point forward
Exhaust: 4” Diameter w/ resonator & muffler
Rear End: Stock, welded spider gears
Interior: 10 point 1-3/4” roll cage
Included Extras: Many extra Nissan parts in my garage! I have a lot!
Power: 819 wHP / 727 wTQ @ 20psi boost (stock rods broke)
759 wHP / 685 wTQ @ 18psi boost

Keep in mind the car has been sitting for 8 years in my garage. It is dusty and dirty. This car is the opposite of a "show car", but I have never been one for body work.
