I have a question about horsepower.

[cebu]

(not sure if this is the right forum)

With my 260z what is the best way to get 300 HP out of it?

[jmortensen]

Best by who's definition? Mine would be to put a V8 in it. If you do an LS1/T56 combo you'll get better mileage than the L24 with SU's too.

[cebu]

well i want to keep my 260 engine (low buget) and just make it as fast as possible.

[justin260z]

Low budget, 260 engine, and fast dont really go together.

One of those variables has to go.

[jmortensen]

Your goals are not compatible.

[JonnyRock]

You're pretty much doubling output. It ain't gonna be cheap.

[cebu]

ok well i dont have the $$$ for another engine but i could put in a cam get it bord out(dont know how to spell that) get su carbs and...... what els could i do? *forget the low buget thing*

[justin260z]

Well, lets say I know some people who have over $9000 in their N/A engines alone. And they are making 300-350hp.

Cheap(er) power will come from a turbo engine. With the L series engines that is.

[cebu]

OH i see about how much would a used one be?

[cebu]

Like could i get one out of a 280?

Heres another question you should be asking,

How much Horsepower did the Works Rally Cars put out?

Back to your question about boreing out, theres a kit you can

buy on MSA that gives you 3100cc's like a 300ZX.

It turns a 280Z (it says in the cataloge) into 3100 CC !

Their Kit includes

~NEW stroker crankshaft

~89mm pistions

~Pins, Rings

~Connecting Rod

Pistions are disigned to accept machining for a variety of blocks and

head combinations and steal head gaskets can be used to

alter compression ratios.

Last I heard it was $1500.00

Says there out of stock but heres the link anyway

[justin260z]

you can spend anywhere between $0 and $5000 for a turbo engine. It all depends.
