300E Performance Upgrades

I've just purchased a 300E for the wife and I was wondering what the options are for upping the performance - She's come from a 450hp Skyline wagon and the 180 or so horse in the 300 isnt cutting it. If I remember Mosselman did a turbo kit for the 300?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Jeff Ash

260E , 1989 (for now)
First of all, a significant performance improvement on those engine is difficult and expensive. These engines are already putting out a lot of power considering their size.
Turbocharger and/or supercharger kits are available . All are pretty expensive and most will shorten the life of the engine unless extensive internal modification to the engine are done. Stoker kits (to increase displacement to 3.6 or 3.8) are also available but also very expensive.
You can try Renntech,

Good luck
