That black convertible is a 240SX early 90s late 80s. That originally came with a four-cylinder naturally aspirated truck engine around 140 hp. You can put almost any engine you want into those. A 4.1 stroker 240 Z would be pretty cool

[@jaypro2989]

Awesome build. Id definitely like to know more about it. As far as hp numbers, keep in mind i didnt soind like it was dynoed in the 1:1 gear ratio which is 4th which would yeild higher hp numbers. Also mustang dynos sometimes read low be as though they are load bearing dynos. Heat probably played a big factor also. Try doing a single 3 inch or maybe even a 3.5 along with a 92 mm camaro tb. Add some c85 and that should get you over 400whp

It needs more air. If you could swap the 75mm tb for a gm 90mm, you would've kept climbing past the 400whp mark. I think it would have made 370 on pump and like 410 on E.

[@Alfonso-mh1np]

I feel like with better springs and cams it would run higher rpm and make over 400 whp with the added rpm range because hp is just torque multiplied by rpm so if you can hold the rpm higher with the torque steady you will make the 400

The e85 numbers are way more impressive in one respect, the fact that the car was making much less torque than horse power on gas and almost matched the torque to HP numbers on e85, I have a 4 cylinder Fiat which actually makes more torque than HP this makes the motor pull super hard, torque in my opinion equals acceleration.
