I'm bringing this thread back from the grave. Definitely interested in pics of everything as well as info on the custom work done.

Shoot me a PM if you've got time. Kinda considering this swap.

Nice bump this started to slip my mind.

We can't let the thread disappear forever. Once we get the swaps started it will catch on

It came down to cut up the firewall, or make a shorter upper manifold, neither of which i have time or money for right now. The project isn't dead but it is close. Right now I dropped the car off and I'm having the v6 fixed up and put back in, and working on some of the support stuff. Getting the head gaskets changed and doing some exhaust work, last i checked it is right around 320hp@6700 and 280tq@4500-5900 and still needs to have cams, heads, exhaust, e85, and tune done. Suspension, clutch, brakes, body, aero, maybe seats, possibly cutting weight, drysump, surgetank, crazy ****, all of it is on the list to get done, or is already done, so once I finally put everything together it is gonna be nukin futs v8 or not.

That sounds like a crazy setup. When I was reading through everything it sounded like you were going to hold off on the v8 idea but go with some sort of FI (I could be incorrect about that). If I'm not wrong is that still in the works until you get everything squared away with the vk engine??

I was jumping in the office when I saw the thread bump. DOH! sub'd for the long haul

Fi is not out of the question, i have been thinking about a little something, maybe a small insta boost turbo for 450-500hp

The idea of the small single turbo is a great idea. One idea that seemed like something I'd consider would be a twin turbo setup with 2 different sized turbos. One small for that instant boost and another larger one for big power up top

Yeah exactly. I wonder how a twin charger setup would work in the Z
