Hum...that might be too small for my application. I guess I'm going to have to get a custom one made. It's only $400 and that's with -16AN fittings on them. Not too bad Mines going to fit under that sheet metal that holds up the hood release thingy

This saga is gettin' better and better. I hope you'll continue to post engine and chassis performance data and maybe even get driver feedback from some of the actual detractors who waste time posting their adolescent jibberish regarding this project (the sun rises and sets on their stock twins).

TNT: nice work so far! I've got a quick question......am i blind or just not seeing the 4th header tube? Looks like the motor is sitting pretty far back. Did you have to cut into the firewall? Sorry if this has been asked before....just didn't feel like reading all the pages to find out.

I actually don't mind this idea as opposed to the LS1 bullshit. One question, which may have been covered, but I didn't feel like reading through 5 pages. What motor does this come from. I was actually thinking the skyline motor would be a good idea with a T76 on it..

It comes out of a Silvia (jspec 240sx), and yes an rb26 out of a skyline would be the ****, IMO it is more stout than a 2jz, it is definately a possibilty in the evolution of this car....

In terms of overall driveability, i will however agree that the RB26 is the superior engine. In most power ranges from 500-700hp, it is my opinion that the RB26s power characteristics are much more linear and driveable versus the 2JZ.
As for the SR20 into FD swap, i for one am anxious to see the final results. Judging from the pics, it does look as if there is a good portion of the motor that sits forward of the front axle and this concerns me as to what inherent effect it might have on the handling of the car. Time will tell i suppose.

Hey!
You guys have too excuse Sean(tnt)! He's suffering from an 'Evil Spell' inflicted on to him by what I must say was an evil 'Rotary Witch Doctor!'
Sean was in my shop yesterday and he brought the header to show me. It's a work of art!
Too bad he did not come to me earlier becuase I might of been able to rid him of the 'Evil Spell' inflicted on him.

Is that a Burns collector? If not then it's pretty damn nice for a home brew It looks like some pretty nice welding from the pics.

Looking good. Do we have a projected ETA on the completion of the SR-FD project? I'm quite excited to know the final weight, corner balance, handling and straight line performance of this project.
