Default 350Z - Powered by RB26DETT (Skyline GTR motor)

This is crazy.

Batlground Engineering in Atlanta, GA transplanted a Skyline GTR (RB26DETT) motor into a new 350Z. Single-turbo swap and intake manifold in progress. Weight was reduced to around 2900lbs. These guys are expecting to push 625rwhp.

Its funny this post is here. I've been contemplating whether or not, for the past couple of days, I could squeeze that motor in my S if God-for-bid something should happen to my power plant.

That engine should be able to make more than 625hp.


This is more impressive, IMO:

Your right, that motor will make much more then 625rwhp. But I live in Atlanta, so I need something practical with Atlanta traffic. After all the car will be driven on the street nearly every day.

Nothing over 700hp is going to be as reliable as I would like it to be. But in time, I may build it to around 900rwhp to compete with the Batlground Supra which is making 950rwhp. And make it a true track car.

Yes that nissan in the pictures is awesome!


Thanks for the encouragement.
