Powered by a completely re-engineered RB30 3.0-litre turbo engine producing a tuned 740hp, built by Loui’s Performance Services in Hoppers Crossing. The engine features a fully strengthened rotating assembly using NITTO forged pistons and rods, a NITTO oil pump and NITTO head gasket, with Loui’s custom billet intake manifold, custom exhaust manifold and a full race-prepared cylinder head incorporating performance camshaft, double valve springs, ARP hardware and associated upgrades. Airflow and charge cooling are handled by an Aeroflow intercooler, while ignition is supported by a Bosch coil conversion. A Garrett T51r turbocharger with an upgraded billet 11-blade wheel delivers huge flow and the characteristic whistle and surge expected of a high-power VL build. Supporting systems include an LS1 alternator conversion, Tuff engine mounts, a Romac harmonic balancer, a custom 3.5-inch exhaust system, a high-performance sump and a filtered custom catch-can system.

Engine management is controlled by a Microtech LT16c ECU paired with a Microtech X6 igniter module and Microtech 7-inch digital dash, all working seamlessly with an Eboost2 controller to maintain precise boost and engine control in 3 steps: 350kw 14psi / 420kw 22psi / 550kw 34psi to the wheels.

Power is delivered through a Nissan Z32 (300ZX) 5-speed gearbox fitted with an Extreme clutch and custom short shifter, providing a strong and engaging manual-shift experience capable of handling the engine’s substantial output.

The rear end is equally well-matched and high level, featuring a shortened 9-inch with 31-spline axles, a Truetrac LSD centre and 3.91 gears, set up to comfortably support the power through a 255-wide rear tyre.
