What if one had the option of a engine swap - from 1g-gteu to what ? mine is a 1991 supra 1g-gteu twin turbo i m not satisfied either with the performance need a change - which engine would fit into this body ?

mate get some sort of fuel cut defender & compensation device, something cheap and oldschool (ie rebic lc

) and up the boost to like a bar and just go nuts.. worked for me in my 1g, an ull have a heap of response with that full 3 inch, ive only got a catback!! 1gs are particularly pokey at that sort of boost, trust me ull beat 180sx's & it shouldnt cost u too much. And i wouldnt suggest doin an engine swap, i looked into it and its always more expensive and painful than u think... just have a good look around till you can find urself a good quality second hand turbo kit, (trust me there out there and u can get em fairly cheap), and wack that on, those little twins dont really hold boost very well. Get some tunable management, give it a bit of boost and ur away!! (obviously slightly simplified but u get the jist).

Don't hate Nissan bro.

SR20DET's on light cars such as 180sx/240sx (silvia) are VERY fast, when well tuned up, and I've read about people reaching 500hp on stock internals of that little 2 little 4 cyl engine.

The old-school VG30DETT is better than the 7M-GTE, and I don't care if people in here wont admit it. Better stock numbers, they don't have a tendency to blow HG's or anything so easily, and they've been built to 1000hp I think. Has anyone put one of these in a MA70? :-P

And the RB26DETT.... needs no description. Sure, Toyota has the 2JZ-GTE to compete with it... but it's unfair, 0.4 litters bigger, and still, studies proove they're both hella good. :P

Once they make a turbo version of the VQ35DE, you'll see what Nissan is all about now! :P

So, respect for teh Nissan y0! (I owned a '90 Z32... a beautiful one, heh).
