i wasnt sure where to post this, but i figure this was the hybrid forum and you guys might have knowledge of this

anyway can you put a skyline r34 gtr rb26dett into a 350z id figure youd have to use a gts trans cuz the gtr has that all wheel drive system

like is this swap a big custom, cutting stuff out, custom job or is it different mounts and a straght forward swap kinda

thanks anyhelp whould be awesome

Not really much help here, but there is a 350z with a sr20 motor. I hate to say it but i saw it on those ricer shows on TNN "spike tv"... Acording to the guy that built it, he needing to fab up all new mounts for the motor and trany. In the end the car with the built motor ran considerably well due to it being alot lighter. Thats all i contribute at the moment. If i dig up some more details i'll let you know.

yeah the cover car of super street a couple months ago , was signal autos 350 with a sr200, from what they said it was alot to just get the motor in there then you had to mod the hell out of it to make it faster than the stock motor and to make it worth it to to do the swap in the first place

McKinney can do anything!!!
But why would you do that? Vinny Ten has built a few VQ35 for boost and put dual snails on those and the damn things are making power beyond belief!!!! The VQ is turning out to be a bad *** motor

I think a guy from drift alliance has a 350 with a sr20det in it and another guy has a FD with a sr20det in it also.

yeah iv been reading up on the VQ it seems all they need is rods and pistons, to strenghten the bottom end and maybe a little head porting and there making 550 600 whp at only 15-18psi, sounds to me like a really nice motor, and those numbers were all with the off the shelf greddt TT kit, plus a aem ems, not bad if you ask me

Carl Stevens new drag car is a 350z with a RB26 in it...

Kamin

SR20+350z = that would be chris forsberg, and the car on the cover of the super street was Signal auto's car. FYI Chris used to work for Signal before he did the SR20 350z swap. nice guy, he brought out the signal S13.5 to a local drifting event in tucson.

and sure you can put a rb26 into a 350z if you have money. you are gonna need at the LEAST custom mounts and a shitload of wiring. in reality you are looking at crossmember, mounts, driveshaft, wiring, possibly worse. put it this way; if its a purpose built track only car and you have an unlimited budget, its a great idea. if you are thinking about doing this for a street car and you arent rich, dont bother.

yes after some research iv found that all the VQ motor needs, is rods and pistons for the bottom end, and the greddy TT kit, and a aem ems and you got between 550 and 600 RWHP and that aint bad for the money, its actually really good

Kamin

espically condsidering you will spend 6000$ on just getting a RB26 with harness, sensors ECU and RWD transmission.

the VQ has incredible potential that just hasnt been realized by most of the world YET.

i saw a sr20 z at d1 a while back. so it's more than likely possible to to the rb swap. however i don't think it'd be very worth it. the amount of money involved would be better spent modding the already sufficient motor already in the car.

jeez this post was dumb yet it didnt come from an 04

i can only forsee our problems from the class of 05

why is it dumb?

is it also stupid if you ask to put a skyline engine in say...a 240? cause you know thats just as impossible.

01-0720

neither one is impossible, the reason i ask is because a friend of mine has a skyline motor in his 240, its a 90 hatch with a rb26 using a gts trans and rear, for that car all it was different mounts and rewire, no serious modification, no welding, , i just wanted to know how hard it was, and please explain how this post is stupid, lets think about this, i posted a question about hybrids in the hybrid forum, o how dumb am i for thinking i could post a question about hybrids in the hybrid forum

uhh its a little more involved than that, trust me.

01-0720

i no, i just mean that theres no cutting welding, serious fabrication

McKinney Motorsports has a kit out for the rb26 that just consist of two engine mounts, a tranny mount, driveshaft, downpipe for twin turbo's. They say NO cutting is done or needed and you just need to dent in the bulkhead to not have vibration problems with the tranny and firewall such like the b series swap into the EF chassis to make room for the alt. pulley Nothing major that a mallet couldn't get done. I believe they said they have wiring harness also in the works but don't quote me.

http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.com/ there you thats the right country to ask this question

And no i am not being an *** I just think you're question will be better answered there.

RB26DETT is a race built engine which can withstand high boost and rpm power. Also the harmonics on the straight six is a whole lot better than that POS Maxima engine.

the 26 is not a race built engine, it is a high performance engine but not race built. and dont give me the "thats what RB stands for race breed/built" because its not true. the ONLY race engine nissan ever put into production was the nur-spec R34 GTR. even then it was still a streetable engine.

and the VQ35's are not POS engines. show me where they are bad.

POS!!! What!!! Andrew Rubio went the full season with this " maxima engine " In his 350z twin turboed on a first year program and has since gone 8.33 in the 1/4!!!
full bodied on street tires!!! piece of what?

RB26DETT's crank is forged and blueprinted to take up to 1000hp stock form. Try that on the POS VQ. I am merely stating from the facts from a Nissan Engineer.

So? RB has proven itself over and over the history. VQ is not in the books yet!!! VQ is Renualt to Nissan's way of cutting cost. To have one engine that powered every darn Nissans. IMO VQ sucks... Read your engineering books about harmonics, especially straight six vs V6.

Anyway, I dislike Nissans that is why I came to Honda. If you guys like VQ so much, buy one!

Oh no a brand loyalist! No one is putting down the RB as it is a bitchin motor. What we are saying is that the VQ is so far living up as a great motor. Anyway if you dislike nissan why did you come and put your 2 cents in here? Plus if you have no proof of the VQ not living up to the hype prove it!!!
