i would also like to know how reliable an 91-92ish 300s are with arould 100,000 on them thanks

that is almost a daily question. from what i have seen and heard....just get a front clip from the TT with engine, wiring and ECU. or depending on the reason you need the extra power, if it is a weekend toy. the turbo would be fun. I have my Z as a daily driver and the less components the better. and with wet and sometimes ice on roads the less power the better. thinking about nitrous myself. selectable power at a bit of a smaller budget.

there is alot of stuff to swap out. it is not as simple as bolting on some lil toy to your honda 4 banger. damn nissan vg30 is expensive and complicated. either way... good luck !!

If it is a 2-seater don't bother with a swap because it isn't time or cost effective. If it is a convertible or a 2+2 then the suggested front clip would be the best way to go.

why wouldnt it be effective on the 2 seater?

KA24Tech

Because buying a TT would be cheaper than doing the full conversion of a 2 seater and would save you a bunch of time too.

So would you be able to just swap a TT engine into a 2 seater? Without any complications?

apudapus

yes. i asked this question a few years ago and did lots of research. lots of information is out there on this particular topic. there are tons of pictures and some video, too. good luck!

I am trying the same project - a NA 2 seater with full TT swap from a JDM front clip(swapping tranny as well) Can anyone provide any links to sites with info on performing the swap?? I have searched countless times to no avail - I just need to know what parts MUST be swapped and what parts I can get away with recycling.
