Now we're talkin! Have to be cheaper than any Nissan option short of the RB20 and make more power than an RB26 with less explody. It's a real shame the Barra hasn't been used in more crazy conversions. Seems like such a good motor especially considering the low cost of them.

Should be kept in mind when making suggestions that the S30 is a rear sump layout. For Xmember and rack clearance purposes the front of the sump needs to be quite shallow. Is eg the Barra a rear sumper? Also keep in mind that the original L6 is no lightweight, I believe that the SOHC Ford six for one is about the same weight.Richard's DatsunZ lappin LakesidZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47OSh...&feature=g-upl

But the n/a motors blow up pretty easy after 220rwkw's and then you have to buy valve springs etc to fix their short comings. I know as a mate has a shop that just deals with converting them. they are not a bad motor though. If you can find an lpg only one cheap they are much strongerOriginally posted by Jim View Post
an rb20 would be a cheaper and better option just wont have the torque. Or even a very mild 25 with a 20 box as the actual 25's arnt worth stuff allOriginally posted by BabalouieGeez we're a bunch of softcocks...we have a 911 and we're obsessing over non-functional ducts and indicator colours

It's a major headfuck to get the XR6t motor to fit into the Zed engine bay.
It requires a whole new engine crossmember to be made, & the sump modified as well
as the oil pump is located where the crossmember goes through.Classic Auto Fabrications:
