@@HunterZ32 Mine can boost up to 700hp. I am content with the wheel spinning 530 hp. 400 hp is a safe number and is on average what some sports cars make in 2022.
Nice ride bro!! I use to have a 300zx Twin Turbo, awesome cars. If your into Datsun Zs consider checking out my latest 240z build series on my channel!!! Good Luck with your channel bro! I subbed!!!
So sorry for the late response as this is an old video, but yes the original engine harness can be used exactly as it was! The only thing you can’t use is the original boost solenoids which I recommend getting rid of in exchange for a boost controller such as the Greddy Profec II
I personally think 300ZXs are amazing cars! Obviously I’m biased as I’ve owned my for almost 5 years now. Wonderful project cars but they take a little more time to work on than other similar cars. Mine was my first project and the original NA engine treated me very well all the way up to the time I swapped it for the twin turbo engine. That engine still runs great in another Z to this day. If you take care of them, they take care of you! If you have any questions feel free to ask!
glad to get an update, was wondering all was going. ive wanted to do this swap with my na 2+0, a question i was wondering about was did it hook right up to stock transmission?
Hey man! If you use the stock NA transmission, you’re fine but you need to use an NA clutch and Flywheel or they will not clear the bell housing. There is a clutch on CZP that’s rated for I believe 600lb/ft of torque for the NA trans that costs around $600. RB guys use it all the time. Other than that it all mounts up perfect! Also, if you use the NA clutch and flywheel you don’t have to shim the starter like you would with a TT flywheel
@@HunterZ32 I have heard about the clearance for the started... Never heard of just using an na clutch and flywheel, thanks for the tips. Love seeing updates and hope you keep uploading.
Bro tell your friend YOU DON'T SWAP STOCK 300ZX TT MOTORS unless they are completely tapped out, which this one obviously wasn't. If your going to swap it for any other type of engine you do it to a NA z32. Stock TT are increasing in value like crazy and makes zero sense to mess that up. But to each his own. As for this NA swap to TT is a great thing to do. Love it
His car is a monster bro. He’s had plenty of them to know he didn’t want to keep the VG. It’s a one of a kind car so nothing lost in getting rid of the stock engine
That’s a great question! For my future plans with the car I wanted the proper lower compression pistons and oil squirters that the TT engine provide. Also, it was very helpful to get the engine as a whole rather than having to individually piece every component. NATT is becoming a popular option now with better standalone ECU setups but simplicity won me over on this project 😁
It all came down to what I wanted for power. I don’t need anything bigger and I didn’t want to socket my ECU for an eprom tune. I personally think that the 350 or so horsepower it makes now with the boost controller set to 13.5psi is the perfect amount of power. But you are 100% correct, for anyone looking for power they’re better off spending the little extra on the 555s or 740s and a SpecialtyZ or CZP tune
@@HunterZ32 As long as your happy with it. I have made mistakes in the past like buying a clutch. Then making more power then the clutch is rated for down the line. It's frustrating. Lol
@@nissanfairladyzx yea bro I see it all the time too. I just wanted to have it super simple for now. There will be a time when I don’t want to drive it all the time that I’ll go for some beef but I don’t wanna blow it up yet 😂😂
Still needs a lot of work 😅 Going to be pulling the engine out soon to do a quick bit of cleanup work on the bay, some new Energy suspension bushings and other quality of life stuff. Thank you for watching :)
Love the body. Never liked any body kit on a Z . Found that spoiled the looks. Yours seems to compliment the beauty. White piping too much contrast for me. Lovely package. My jdm rhd still in original paint kh1 grey about to have engine out service. Love your tailgate spoiler.
Thanks for the kind words! Totally understand on the piping but I personally like the 90s look it gives. With regard to the front lip, I have a twin turbo bumper on the way but for now I have removed the fog lights and I have powertrix ducts I’m putting in to feed it air. The boost controller I have has an integrated boost gauge and other such monitors but for now I’m on Normal gate pressure with stock solenoids removed. Thank you again for taking your time to watch and for the kind words!
Congratulations on the swap! Proud owner of a 530 hp 1990 tt 😎
that’s probably a heck of a fun drive! I don’t think I’ll shoot that high with this car, my goal is only about 400whp

Wow 9k views. Thats cute 😂
Nice z bro love my z
Great combo with the leather seat. I'm glad to know that is running well.
I’d love to TT my NA but as of right now I think I’d prefer swapping out the auto for a manual
Going manual makes a world of a difference on these cars! That would be a fun project! Only tough thing to find is a clutch pedal and manual ECU
Wastewater is 6 and 10. 6 in safety boost like if ecu senses knock. 10 normal. Does your cluster have a boost gauge ?
That's a nice build man. I'd love to TT mine. I'm keeping the N/A on my 2+2 but only cuz its a 96...dam OBD2 ( shaking ✊)

Sick build mate 👍 highly considering doing the tt swap on mine, hard to come by the motors atm in NZ tho. Was it relatively drop in swap wiring wise?
So sorry for the late response as this is an old video, but yes the original engine harness can be used exactly as it was! The only thing you can’t use is the original boost solenoids which I recommend getting rid of in exchange for a boost controller such as the Greddy Profec II
nice seats also agree the factory TT front bar is the best looking front bar, good choice
Did u have to swap the subframe or anything major like that?
Nope! NA subframe fully supports twin turbo engines! Even the same motor mounts!
Nice Z looks great, I have a 94 sliptop maybe I do the swap in the future but probably I will go with 2JZ
That would be awesome!! Slicky with a JZ or RB would be such a fun build!
Front spoiler may need opening for intercoolers
Hello, great build. Where did you get the seats reupholstered? Thank you
Thank you I appreciate the kind words! My friend did the seats for me. He doesn’t have a business or anything unfortunately, just his hobby
Nice build keep up the good work.
Very nice looking Z!! I just did an NA-TT swap on my Z32 and I’m loving it
That’s awesome bro!! I still have a couple things to sort out but I’m loving driving it
@@HunterZ32 same here. I did everything to get it running but nothing to make it save to drive lol Little by little I’m getting everything sorted out
So where's the cost breakdown?
7:40 In the video
What ECU/engine management?
would this car be a great first car? and possibly a project car?

@@HunterZ32 will do whenever i get my hands on a 300zx tt :-)
Bro I’m trying to do the same I just need to know what I need to change and everything
2005 I did the tt swap lol 2500 for a front clip 1000 for my buddy to swap it lol

Awesome car
Thank you! Got a lot going on right now that I can’t wait to show
Any issues with emissions?
For what you spent on the OEM 370cc injectors you could have had like 740cc - 1000cc injectors. & Been one step closer to making more power.
