Have you budgeted for other driveline components and upgrades that may be required if you want to keep it legal?

A charger isn't legal unless its engineered. A lot of companies seem to go strangely quiet when asked about adr or epa compliance for their kits.

They are available but cost a shitload due to the testing that goes into it.

Personally, I wouldn't waste that cash on a V6. I'd go for the LSX conversion or jap import.

That guy would be me and engine is back and blown looking over 250wkw on dyno in next week or to.JUST BUY A GOOD DAM V8 AND HAVE DONE with.

haha yeah forgot your username :p. good to hear it's going again, but i like your advice even though you still have the v6. this man knows the pain of trying to make a fast v6, i would hate to know how much you've spent (both time and money)

Together they should manage between 275 and 300kw..

where are you getting those numbers from? rwkw or fwkw? something is not right there.

if i were you id drop a 2jzgte with aftermarket turbos, intercooler, and auto trans.

my 1.5jzgte is sitting at 220rwkw - with 9psi. ; with a tune and new fuel pump + injectors itll hit 320rwkw on 12psi.

depending on what state your in will decided how hard/easy it will be to register. here in sa its near impossible so thats why i just bought a manual soarer...

Ok then,if you go with SRE engine and supercharge it, you will need a fresh gear box with a good shift kit (Transgo) a lsd with a good set of gear and good free flowing system.All this is not cheap.My gear box lasted about 3 months lol

A VN is an old bad car. VN + 15K does not make it a good car all you get is a fast bad car. With 15K you could buy something alot better, newer and safer and at the end of the day just as fast.
