For this year’s SEMA show, Nissan revealed the Project Overland Frontier, an adventure-oriented version of their redesigned mid-size truck. While it’s an interesting concept, it’s nowhere near the amazing D40-based Desert Runner that the company revealed at the same event two years ago.
Nissan 350Z with a Supercharged VK56 V8
Fever Racing is building a Nissan 350Z with a supercharged VK56DE V8 at their company in Tampa, Florida. The motor was previously powering a 2004 Nissan Titan truck but now finds its home in a lighter sports car. Fever Racing built the V8 with Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) C8 272 camshafts and valve springs, and custom fuel rails with FIC 775 cc injectors. On top of the motor sits a Stillen supercharger with a 92 mm LS2 throttle body and custom throttle body adapter. They expect the combo to make around 500 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque to the wheels.
1993 Mustang with a Turbo RB25 Inline-Six
This 1993 Mustang built by JGY Customs in Atkins, Virginia in 2005. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.5 L Nissan RB25 inline-six making an estimated 550 horsepower on 21 psi of boost. It featured a modified GReddy intake, custom exhaust manifold, Precision GT5382R turbocharger, custom 3-inch exhaust, 733 cc injectors, and Jim Wolf Technology ECU. The drivetrain features a manual transmission, custom driveshaft, and 5.0 L Mustang LSD with 3.73 gears. The car rides on a lowered suspension and set of Enkei PKR 18-inch wheels covering 5.0 L Mustang brake calipers. You can read more about the project at Performance Auto & Sound.
