May I suggest dual e-fans with a shroud but with only one and without a shroud, any hard driving on a hot day will over heat that motor. I may have missed it if you corrected this but I skipped a bunch of posts to avoid all the arguing. Gl with build.

Waiting for photos to upload so I can update.

Just want to ask why you fabricated a shroud for that E- Fan and didn't go with Dual Altima E-fans.

I'm jelly of the fast build progress.

I've quite enjoyed reading this build thread. I see the logic in installing the SR20DET as well. It is easy to work on, parts are relatively inexpensive and your car will not be as front heavy. I'm assuming your going to be making around 300HP? That sounds like a fun drift setup.

Reminds me of the TRD JGTC Supra that ran the 3SGTE. I actually know of a gentleman who installed an HKS 2.8L SR20 in a Mitsubishi GTO and set it up for drifting.

Awesome build. This is probably one of the only Z32's ive really liked (as far as looks go). Cant wait to see more.

Future_gohan · 05-15-2013, 05:37 PM

This just bought back memories to all the shit talking i got from zilvia for my build! haha

franklin93zx · 05-17-2013, 03:19 PM

The car is done and back on the road. Words do not describe my excitement and joy of having the car back and how it feels. I simply in "aw" over it.

Congratulations. The swap looks great! Definitely looks like a car you would see in Drift Tengoku.

SlowZ32 · 05-17-2013, 03:43 PM

Congrats! How does it run, how much different from the vg? Got any video of it?

franklin93zx · 05-17-2013, 03:50 PM

It's a substantial difference. It's like an entirely different car. Super response and the boost feels incredible.

Sounds so fun, is the weight difference noticeable?

franklin93zx · 05-17-2013, 04:06 PM

To be honest I'm not sure. I forgot how it felt with the VG in it. But the SR feels so much smoother at higher speeds/rev's compared to the VG

s0fa king · 05-17-2013, 04:59 PM

i need more of this car in my life. please whore pics.

franklin93zx · 05-17-2013, 06:35 PM

Hahaha just check out the post on the Mulsanne blog.

My hero. Bardabe Needs to fab some mounts, trace a subframe sketch and sell to a company and turn this from a fab nightmare to a purchased dream.

If I didn't just reinstall my refreshed/gasketed TT motor back in, I would jump on this all day.
I bet a/c is even a snap since its on the same side.
I love the vg and yes it's a pain to work on but the SR is a great idea. Subscribed.

For the price of new twins, you could almost have a 400+hp sr just about.

chank · 05-31-2013, 06:51 PM

Nice work Franklin. I love how your car turned out! I bet the handling feels amazing with that huge mass removed from the front. You have given me some motivation to get working on my 2jz swap again.
