I originally was going with the build up of my existing 3v, but what I couldn't get my head around was all the custom made parts I would need to get larger power levels. For example, the supercharger I have now is made for this motor and I have maxed it out with available, off-the shelf parts. Whipple quit making the 2.75" pulley for it a few years ago, so I had to have one custom made. This wasn't such a big deal, but it would be just the start. A bigger throttle body would definately be needed, which would mean some kind of custom intake. Also, this S/C is just too small too generate any really big numbers-EFFICIENTLY. So, that means going to another, larger displacement S/C that was not designed for this engine, which makes for a lot of other issues. Then it hit me about the possibility of doing the swap. I have a modded GT500, so I know what they are capable of (mine currently puts down 654rwhp). With me not know anything about engine swaps/wiring, I have to ask if this is even possible, within reason, or economically feasible.
All I have to go on, at this point, is Rafa's build up. Didn't it take something like 7-8 months? Rafa was pissed and everybody was agreeing that it shouldn't take that long. Then JDM posted up their response and said that a lot of the delays were due to having to custom make parts in order for everything to work.
