Anyone seen it? The Coupe on the cover was "re-built" at JE Import Performance in Baltimore...I spoke to James Evans (JE Owner) today.

I think it's puttin down 800hp to the wheels?!?!?!? ..or some madness like that. I plan to pick up a copy tomorrow.

Whewwwwwwww; can't wait to see!!!

 

I wonder how much they'd charge to install a basic kit... Near by shop

 

saw it today, it has an RB26DETT!

 

havnt seen the article, but if its a rb26dett swap, there might be some serious weight balance issues considering how much significantly heavier and bigger the I6 is compared to the VQ. itd take some serious work to make it fit the engine bay, let alone keeping the Front-Mid engine placement. there should be a severe front weight bias. Wonder what they did to solve that, or if its an unbalanced drag racer now.

 

^^act. it was done on a 350z a while ago. i dont think they had any fitment issues, just alot of custom work. i cant speak on the weight bias...but i imagine they thought of that b/c the work was done professionally by a major vendor i recall

 

Call James Evans (JE) and ask him (410.686.5111) - - I talked to him a couple days ago and asked same question: He said (approximately) 8 hours of labor ($600-$750), give or take...he will also match best price on any turbo kit.

Good luck!

 

I saw them at summit point drift practice last september... they are cool guys. They brought their RB S13.. that thing was sick!

 

yea they are cool peoples. we order our motul supplies from them. he wanted to do my turbo upgrade on my rx7 but we never followed up with each other. i'm doing a drift practice day this sunday, i may see him up there.

 

Hey, I am going to that same drift event. I'll see ya there I guess. Oh, I'm always in the Reston area too mang.
