He posted once about what all he got from Nissan & what they had to custom fab and it was 50/50.
Interesting. That engine made close to 600HP in the Baja trucks, seems wild to add more power!

I think it is because they wanted more TQ, but it also could have been because if they produce it they can easily fix/repair the engine if problems occur.

Wouldn't surprise me if they lowered the CR and put in less exotic internals, now that you mention it.

That engine probably ran on 116 or some other fuel that's ridiculously expensive. For drifting... No reason to run on anything but 93 or at most, 100 or 105 unleaded.
