Hey Everyone!!! I've got an idea that probably hasn't been done yet...probably for good reason. I'm really wondering about fitment. My stock v6 is pretty huge but I'm worried about the shift lever lining up(I'm hoping to go automatic since fuel efficiency is my goal here). I don't think engine width should be an issue. I know the 2.0 is underpowered so I'm planning on turbocharging it with boost kicking in after 3500rpm. Or I'd go with the 2.5 and keep it NA for a while(that'll only be a bit weaker than what I have now but I'll be cutting 300lbs off the car). My GFs father is going to be helping me. He's an industrial mechanic(good welder, decent with wiring things) and restores vintage tractors for fun. I have a degree in metalworking which won't really be of much use and I'm not super mechanical. We're expecting tons of issues making the gauges work but I'm hoping someone here has some good tips!!! The goal is RWD, roughly 210hp when I'm boosted(no more than 240 or so) but the main goal is over 35mpg on the highway. I know few here mod for efficiency but you'll all be of more use then me if you've done Subaru swaps and RWD conversions. *I've always wanted a 300zx(since I was little). Now that I could afford one, I'm super interested in clean emissions along with gas mileage. I'd love to meet modern emissions standards with my Z(I just bought it and have a good 4-6 weeks of bodywork before I paint it).
