You guys realise he already has the engine, so there's no point trying to push your opinions on different engines.

you wanna do this as a fun project, and somethig different go for it! But keep the carby i recon... :down:

Thats right wana see how it would go i havent heard of anyone with the old school 302 in a 32 yet so should be fun. Yeah im thinking of keeping the carb at the momment and as for the 25 in it mentioned later thats been done before and the custom work wont matter as me and the old man have done custom before. also i already have the 20 and the 26 so time for a different spin on the nissan

I was thinkin of doing that with one of the new "aluminators" aluminum block 4.6L ford and twin turboing it. Imiagine what it would be like when you punch it at 3000rpm and before it gets to 4000rpm your torque jumps to arround 800 and stays within 50ftlbs of that through the revswith over 1000hp. An R32 to me sorta looks like a 88-93 Mustang but was way nicer and wont twist the car with the stock engine. You just gotta keep in mind that the 5L engine is only good for up to 450hp in good condition but the 4.6 can be pushed to arround 800-1000 absolutely bone stock with the fuel and spark and air to produce that so if you want a high performance machine find a 4.6 out of a 96' + (has to be over 96' or dont bother) and then throw in some 3 or 4 valve a cylinder heads and you'll be ready to suprise a few people.

Though if your not going for high hp then a carburated high compression 302 with a rhoudy cam would be really bad ass to hear that carburated rough idleing v8 under the hood. Hell i was thinkgin of doing the opposit some day and matting a r34GTR tranny/transfercase into a 96-03 mustang make it all wheel drive and twin turbo or Kenne Belle (Kenne Bell or nothin) supercharge it so i'd have pretty much the best of both worlds on street tires.

Hey mate,

I was thinking of using a late model engine either AU xr8 or the BA xr8 engine but as ive already got the 302 floating around mite as well use it i found a supercharger kit for a carby 302 i was only aiming for the 500hp mark outa the old girl wouldnt need much more in a striped out gts as a drift pig.

Would be different hearing the roar of a v8 in the good old 32

Like most engines the modular 4.6 needs a large wad of cash,work and bits thrown at it to make 1000hp. Bone stock isn't a term I'd be using to describe anything but a hand grenade at 1,000hp. If the thing hung together for longer than a week then I expect the main web and bulkheads are going to be cracked quite nicely in due time. Those factory blocks aren't what I'd be starting with for lots of power.

There is no magic brand or type of block that makes 1,000hp cheaply in a small cubic capacity. Thats the rule. The blocks best suited to it are race blocks, usually billet if we are talking 1,000+ hp.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
