Ok people just want some opinions.
Truth is I know no matter how much you drop into a car/truck you hardly if ever get your money back from it. So for me its not really an issue. Planning on keeping the car for a long while.
I'll be the first one to tell you I know sweet F##k all about the 4.3L other than the typical stuff I can read on the net. I've always had a soft spot for the syclone and Typhoon.
Ok my car has a 3.0L straight 6 that actually came with a turbo version. The motor is actuallya nissan rb30 just means it actually comes from the skyline. Back in 86 the turbo was pushing 150KW/200hp. Not too much but for the times and esp here in Oz that was pretty good for a six.Its very common here to see some of the VL's here pumping out 400-500 hp on stock bottom end. They are pretty bullit proof bottom end and super sweet to get done to handle more. (Keep in mind pumping that much power with stock part nothing will stay together very long) They are very reliable as well.
What I have noticed about these motors that they have no bottom end... even with the turbo still a bit sluggish off the line.
I was wondering is it possible to get a 400-450hp 4.3L turbo motor that can be reliable for everyday use and trips and stuff.
What would be a good price for something like this. Now keep in mind fellas I'm in Oz so reliablity is a must because I'm going to have to get parts shipped over when it breaks down.
Any insight would be greatly appreaciated.
