Ok, I am starting a new project. My Christmas present to myself this year is the ultimate DSM. I have been debating over whether to go the fully built 4G63 route or if I should try an alternative...
I know not everyone on this site will embrace this idea as I have, some will call it genious, others will call it blasphemy. But which ever side you choose to take please read first.
Im sure every member here has heard of the toyota supra and the nissan skyline, both incredible cars in the eyes of any automotive enthusiast. The RB26DETT and 2JZGTE are capable of smashing into 4-digit HP numbers on stock bottom ends, the power output of either of these engines when moderately modified will surpass most of the highest HP 4G63T's on the street today, and yes, I am talking about a "street car" (full interior, stereo, a/c, etc.) This is where it gets interesting.
I have spoken to several custom shops in my area and they have all told me that swapping either of these motors into a 1G DSM is quite possible with alittle firewall modification as long as they are single turbo converted(which is the only way to go)
The only reason I am considering these swaps is because this car will be my daily driver also and I dont want that to hold me back, I want 700+whp and I feel that the 4G63 is pretty much running on the edge at that point and it is not uncommon to hear of 800+whp supras and skylines driving around that are still perfectly streetable. So let me know what you all think.
