1977 Datsun 260Z with a Turbo Ford Barra Inline-Six

This 1977 Datsun 260Z was built by Daniel from Boosted Brothers Customs in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Daniel considered using a Nissan RB-series inline-six when the project started, however he went with a Ford Barra inline-six because of its power potential and because he’s never seen a 260Z with one. The turbocharged 4.0 L Barra inline-six was sourced from a 2016 Ford Falcon FG X. It made 219 kW (293 hp) at 5,757 rpm on the dyno with 7 psi of boost and 98 octane fuel. The engine is mated to a ZF six-speed automatic transmission, custom driveshaft, and R200 limited-slip differential with billet axles. After Daniel enjoys the car for a while he plans on preparing the engine for more boost.
