Nissan 300ZX with Twin-Turbo LS3

Published in engineswapdepot.com

For the past two years this 1991 300ZX TT was transformed into a monster with four-digit power. After the 3.0 L VG30DETT V6 went bad, the owner decided to go in a different direction. They built and installed a 6.2 L LS3 V8 using a LOJ Innovations swap kit.

The engine features a bored and honed head, JE FSR pistons, Manley Pro Series I-beam rods, 1250 HP Turbo camshaft, Manley Extreme Duty Series valves, Fast 120mm intake, and Nick Williams 102 mm electric throttle body.

The engine is fed by two Walbro 450 LPH E85 fuel pumps through Fast LSXR fuel rail and ID 1300 cc injectors. Two Precision 6266 turbochargers are mounted in rear of the car. The combination made the wheels spin on the dyno at 1,107 horsepower so they estimate it’s making 1,110 whp and about 1,287 horsepower at the crank.
