Message Well took apart the CIMA motor to have it checked out and discovered that one of the cylinders had a big piece of metal missing out of and had really trashed the cylinder wall.

So now I have few more options some of them which are fairly wild.

1) Put an RB26DET with a single turbo on it
2) Put an 2JZ with a single turbo in it
3) Rebuild my engine and go with twin HKS2835s on it.

I am torn as what we should do as doing a conversion would truely make this car unique. The only concern for the RB26DET is that the turbo and manifold is on the driver side and may cause problems with steering column. That and performance parts will be harder to get as it all has to be imported and will take longer complete.

Using the Supra motor would also be unique however it would no longer be Nissan Motor but it would be single turbo.

And ofcourse there is the idea of just building the stock motor for big power. However that is already being done by a few here :-)

Considered rebuilding the CIMA motor but it would take like a 60 over to open it fix.
