Nice pic

What engine is that? L 20?

 

[JohnD]

L28 Turbo, the original was an L24 with two stage carburator.

Cool...let us know how it runs once its fitted. What power are you ulooking at?

 

[JohnD]

to start with, ~220 Crank HP with ~1000 kgs body

Nice !

hmm now that would make it a nice racecar :smokin:

 

[DCD]

Damn that is a good power to weight ratio! You'll be sliding it on demand!! Sweet

 

[JohnD]

Well, the goal it so get it close to 300 HP but first I have to see if every goes well with the chassis/body and the temperatures because there isn't much space and the chassis is 30 years old and not the strongest out there.
I do not want to experience 240Z/L28Turbo fun where the complete body bends a few degree at full throttle
When looking in the rear view mirror you get sea sick.

Not a bad goal. As you know they put RB26s in PGC/KPGC10 in japan ...I wonder how the chassis can compe!?

Found this while checking out an interesting japanese site. An S130 Z with a NA RB31 with single throtte bodies. Kicks out a hefty 365ps.....imagine the sound on that!! Did a great job on it...

Rest of the pix here...check out the interior...

The RB engines were never sold in Europe were they?

 

[DCD]

Not that I know of. (without counting the official UK GTRs obviously)

My site is down for the moment because of to much bandwidth usage so the pics on top won't show.

For the time being I can post what the project has to look like in the future.
I own a 4 door, wish they sold the 2 door in Europe at the time.
I hope I can get my hand on those fender extenders in the future...
