Just got mine, a 1995 with a little under 200K and a new or rebuilt engine (the seller wasn't sure which). I'll be modding it.

Welp, let me give y'all an update...





This is my engine now.

It has *clears throat, shuffles note cards*

Heads: Rev up cams, shims, and springs, upgraded retainers.
Engine: Rev up oil pump, unorthodox underdrive pulley, JWT oil pan spacer, ebay sandwich plate, ARP headstuds.
Fuel: Nismo FPR, R35 injectors, walbro 255 pump
Intake: 00vi with port/polished lower and upper intake manifolds, elbow ported and matched to PFTB with CGR spacers.



Thats my transmission. Its cute.

Its a 6spd with ser spec V gears, its been micropolished and die cut at a machine shop. Clutch is a JWT with 3.0 timing ring and JWT flywheel. Its pretty.




This is what we stuffed in it. Its a PTE6266.

The turbo Stuff: ^That turbo, Tial 52mm wastegate, HKS SSQ BOV, custom reverse y pipe with some ebay shorty headers, Scavenge pump, all your typical gauges (AEM Wideband & EBC)



That is all the y pipe I have, almost none, which is cool for spooling purposes. Yes that is a motor mount wielded to the frame of the car that is holding my turbo in place.


and this is what it looks like assembled.




And...since then I got that big long pipe tig welded because I didnt like the way it looked...

here we are...

The interior is getting love too. Don't think for a moment I'm gonna stay stock with the seats. These are cipher, some model for bigger dudes.
I have also carbon fiber overlaid my dash, gauges, and pedals. I have some carbon fiber pillar overlays that are getting slapped in there once the wiring for the gauges is done. I also have an ortiz gauge pod on top of the steering column for my wideband and ebc.

I know there are... because I know people, but... why NO one wants to post up on the .ORG?

If you are still modifying this 20 year old grocery get-er, Post up below, throw a holla out at ya boy, whatever...

B12 swap vq30-k motor central, tracción trasera

Hello, I have a b12 swap vq30-k, I want to make it turbo, my question is how many pounds does the stock engine hold?

Too generic to answer and boost pressure isn't the limiting factor. If there are zero mods to the car and you install a turbo or supercharger you might get away with 2 or 3 pounds. If you add the correct supporting fuel system, proper dyno tuning, with zero internal engine mods? There are supercharged and turbo 2013+ 3.5 engines making 500+ whp. I'm guessing 10 psi or so.

I put it on fall of 2019. Summer of 2022 I took the belt off because the rubber in the stock crank pulley was looking iffy. Yup 3.6", nothing fancy.

Thanks. It was a huge amount of effort over years. Here's what it looked like when I bought it, aside from the Stillen bits that is. Get out the degreaser and hose.
