Hey,
Has anyone heard of this engine? Does anyone have it on their maxima?
This is what I found:
The engine was made for Nissan Gloria/Cedric (Japan). Has a built in turbo.
It is stock 280hp/285 torgue with Microfinished crankshafts and camshafts and moly coated pistons.

Someone in my area is selling that engine with work to fit it into my car for 3000. What do you guys think?

You could probably get a turbo or super kit for your car for the same money, and probably have better reliability.

I read all the old threads. I guess you are right. Might as well rebuild my engine from scratch, make a custom intake manifold and pop in a supercharger.

If I remember correct it doesn't fit in our engine bay as our firewalls are closer to the front of the car.
