possible…yes

smart…no

there is a company that makes a kit to do this but is a huge pain and very expensive to do. i think i read of ONE swap working and its only making like 450-500rwhp might as well just mod a TT

u loose ur torque with SR…in my opinion anything but a vg30dett into a Z is pointless…that motor is very capable and reliable if done right

the ka24de makes more TQ, and it takes to boost quite well too

despite its reputation as a “boat anchor”

that would be “different” … wouldnt it ? lol

Z forums say it costs about 8k to do it…might as well buy a TT 300zx…with a rb20 i could single turbo the biatch

edit: 8k and never works right, lacks the 4 wheel steering, lacks the little button to change the suspension, lacks the staggered wheels, lacks…a lot of the crap that make the TTZ sweet

All that BS is the stuff that makes the TT Z heavy, and the first things that would go if I were planning on making the car faster.

VG30DETT or nothing, IMO. (well, maybe an LS1… 😉 )
