I recently got a great deal on a 92 300zx tt 5-speed. Only 106,000 km but the motor is hydrolocked by the previous owner. I've been going around to difference places looking for a good used motor as a rebuild is out of my budget right now. All the motors in good shape with good compression i've been finding are automatic. Now I know the automatics came with different cams and smaller turbos, am I going to notice a difference in the 20 hp if i go stage 3 (jwt chip, greddy exhaust, specialty z downpipes and e-boost 2 controller) vs a stage 3 5 speed motor? What can I expect, ex: faster spool, better or worse 0-60, less top end power etc. thanks.
