congrats on the swap, my project is dead in the water until i can get my 280z running. i have a usdm ej257 block with forged internals. jdm V7 bigport heads. with hoping a ppg 5spd. also plan on doing a custom wide body kit. i tried findng a 93 but i had to settle for a 97... 97 = harder to get passed emissions. 93= emissions passing is easier than a cheap whore
the car was imported in 1993, is USDM. In this moment i am putting the sti 2004 tranny(dccd) 6v, i am improving too: pistons, rods, valves, springs, camshaft. The idea is to obtain 600-650 hp. The car have 500 hp before the improves. The turbo is a GARRETT GT3082(GT3040) BALL BEARING, 0,82 AR, Tial housing.
YES, THE ENGINE IS EJ257, BRAND NEW, I WAS BUYING TO GRUPPE-S. I AM WORKING TO START THE ENGINE, BECAUSE THE ECU IS BLOCKING BY THE IMMOBILIZER. THIS CAR IS GC8, 93 MODEL, 1800 cc, USDM. I AM IN MEDELLIN-COLOMBIA. PLEASE CHECK IN ONE MONTH, I WILL START THE ENGINE AND I WILL PUT THE VIDEO IN YOUTUBE. THANKS.

more or less usd $15000. I was doing this because this chassis is light weight and bolt on with the gd chassis(02-07)
