Brandon Jones has attended over 30 drift events in his 1994 Infiniti Q45. However he recently decided the stock 4.5 L VH45DE V8 wasn’t making enough power so he replaced it with a turbocharged 4.8 L LSx V8 expected to make 500 horsepower. The V8 was pulled from a Chevrolet Express\/GMC Savana van and features Pontiac GTO headers, aftermarket 240SX\/LSx oilpan, and eBay HX40W turbocharger. The engine sits on RX7\/LSx mount brackets welded to the subframe. Behind the engine sits a Nissan 300ZX five-speed with a GForce adapter, modified Chevy 1500 driveshaft, and factory rear end with Nissan Z32 4.08 gears. <\/p>\n
