LS Powered 300zx aka mmmpshh
Whats up folks. Most of you guys know me (be it bad or good lol). Im back with another crazy idea. Got a project a I figured I'd start a build thread on. A little history on me, Im coming from a Scion tc that we (Abel Racing) put a custom turbo kit w/ e85 on stock motor and made 472 whp. Car was pretty quick but I hit a brick wall with FWD, weak trans and too much power. Here is piks as it sat last...
Decided to make the switch to RWD and picked up a 1991 300zx (n/a body) auto. Then got the idea to put a LQ9 (LS truck motor 6.0) coupled with a Precision 94mm turbo necked down to a 88mm and auto tranny. Then somehow convinced the good folks at Abel Racing (in Midwest City OK) that this was a good idea. Got started and pulled the motor and trans with the help of "efeezie". Well he did mostly all the work. lol. Car sat for a while so I could gather parts and get a good plan going.
Finally got started on some fab work the other day. Again, all work done by "efeezie". Got custom solid motor mounts and manifolds made. Fitted a 4L60E auto tranny. Custom hat for Edlebrock Victor Jr. Intake is almost finished. Here are some progress piks... Sorry for cell piks. Will take better piks further down the road.
Things to get worked on next are: Air-to-water setup, getting motor to running shape with vette accessories (planning on stroking to 6.7L later down the road). Get fuel system together. Custom drive shaft, and all the little things to get it running.
I have big plans for the car. I wont bother making an entire list of what I plan on doing, I'll just post as it comes together.
Open to suggestions and critics, thanks for looking!

Here's a little update... got some parts in a few days ago:
Here are the specs on the cam:
Also got a built Turbo 400 tranny (forgot to take piks)
Heads are being worked on:
Bottom end needed a lil work so we sent it off to the machine shop. Thats whats kinda holding everything back right now, waiting for them to get finished. Once it comes back we'll start putting everything together full force!!!
