Message so much to reply to. so i'll sit on a few of my more
'colorful' fingers and reply to the basic questions at hand

:Most everybody knows that i have been trying to design a Big single turbo Kit for my Z32 to support around 900-1000whp.
that's a lot of custom fabrication.
certainly not impossible by any means.

:Now the motor will handle the power and make the power i need, it is a matter of everything fitting, and if stuff does break, it won't be cheap to fix or replace.
If it's done with some fore thought, it can be easy and
relatively inexpensive to fix. If you are serious about
putting together a KIT and a DRAG car, then you will go
through three or four iterations of the build until it's
right. Only then, will you be able to offer a KIT and have
a reliable DRAG car.
So, whatever your budget is, quadrupel it. And I mean that
sincerely and seriously. Ask me how I know.

:Here is my dilema. As of yet i don't know if the kit and everything will fit.
After your third or fourth iteration of your build, you
will know. Do it right. Then market it.

:Second if and when it does fit it is going to be cramped and not look that good.
Shouldn't looks be 7th or 8th on the list?

:Third, not only will i have to build custom exhaust manifold for the turbo, and Charge piping for everything else. I will also have to build a custom single intake manifold to allow Top Feed injectors cause i will need no smaller then 1000cc injectors and the biggest side feeds are 850cc.
I thought you said you had everything? And there are
options for 1000cc injectors... just need to be patient.

:Now my other dilema is I have a chance to try to swap in an SR20DET into my Z?
Thats a 4 banger. A 2 litre 4 banger. An aluminum
blocked / sleeved cylinder 4 banger. Displacing 2 litres.
Even modded, they arent getting 350rwhp. Most guys who
swap in a SR20DET with stock T25/T28 are barely hitting
12.9s in the quarter with a MUCH lighter 240SX. I think
you've been smoking too much turkey leg.

:Now here are the pro's and cons of that.
:Pro's
:if i can get it to fit, There will be plenty of room for anything i want to do
:Second, Parts are cheap and redily availble
:third a lot easier to work on.
:Con's
:The oil pan sump is right where the Cross Member of the Z32 is. So either i will have to build a custom tubular Cross member to adapt it, or rework the oil pan, which is even harder.
Oil pans are reworked *easily*. If you are doing all
this custom fab work, a modified oil pan should be the
absolutel least of your worries.

:With the SR, i can still make 700-800whp and in my Race class.
With a 300 shot, I agree. You can coast the last 1200+
feet to 12.9 quarter mile... even though the car will be
engulfed in flames.

:The 6 Cylinders have a minimum weight of 3500lbs, and the 4 Cylinders have a minimum weight of 2600lbs.
you have been smoking crazy mad hot sauce, turkey leg, or stuffing. You are looking at a LOT of weight, SANS the motor. Ignore the motor... look at the unibody... It's HEAVY D! You're far better off Back Halving the car.

the rest of this post is just foolish.
As is your other rediculous post... I think you are
seriously out of your element.

Hugs and Kisses,
the niXit.
