Ive talked to a couple guys that run a nissan race shop here and thats what they said. And rebuilding a cd009 is cheaper than a t56. I personally wont be drag racing it. I want to do more hill climbs with it. My dream is to enter it into Pikes Peak.

At approx 20psi a completely stock 408 hp m120 is over 1000 hp. Just saying. Your already adapted to now so no. Point in turning back now. I wish I could find a good one for 500 around here.

The engine is also placed behind the front axle line for weight distribution and to make room for twins in the future. The manual transmission is a cd009 out of a 350Z. I'm using the stock flex plate for the starter. Then I have an adapter to a redrilled Skyline R32 flywheel with a 350z clutch. Later on I will have a custom flywheel made to reduce the number of parts and to make it lighter. I designed the adapter plate and the flywheel adapter and then had them machined at a local shop. If this combo works out I want to put it in one of my W111/W112 or my W108 cars.

I'm excited to hear how the megasquirt thing goes as that's exactly what I am planning to do with mine. Awesome project and I will be watching.
