:i have an n/a but i've gained some money i want to put into my car. i was thinking of the jdm tt swap was wondering a few things. BTW, i have an automatic transmission that was rebuilt along with the torque converter last month. Here are my questions:
:1. how much boost can the tt/jdm engine hold?
:2. how much hp can the engine hold?
:3. If i do the swap, will i need to get a new transmission, or is this one enough to handle the power. Assume the transmission is stock and i want to shoot for 450 hp.
:Thanks, any tips would be appreciated.
If you go JDM, then find an engine house that travels to Japan and selects the cars. You will have better odds of getting one that runs well. I know the guy at Rims-N-Things in SC does this, but I haven't personally dealt with him on a transaction. There are others as well.
If you go USDM (I did this), then find a clean Z that has met with tragedy. Perferrably, low mileage one. The one I found had less than 70K on it. Either way, go over the motor. Compression test, 120k kit, check turbos (the time to replace them is when it the motor is out) and maybe even take a peak at the lower end.
