Engine Swaps

[sy300]

Just a random thought that I had.

Has anyone ever heard of anyone swapping the old RB for a different engine?

How about one of those Nissan V8's (QF45, I think?). Or maybe twin-turboing a VQ25?

It's probably been done in Japan (they seem to do all sorts of crazy stuff to their cars). There is plenty of room under the bonnet, I'm sure a V8 could fit.

It's not that the RB is a bad engine and I think it should be changed, the idea just popped into my head and I thought 'I wonder...'.

I know someone on the forums put a QF45 into their NA R33, and the M35 stagea comes with a VQ25DET i'm pretty sure

i have been saying to a few people lately, the stagea needs the v8 torque to get it going, and as a nice cruiser, and i mean the nissan vh45de would be ideal. just gotta run it in 2wd only i suppose.

if my 26 goes is something little (180sx, etc) then i reckon thats the next engine i'd put in the stagea for sure. not excessive power just an exhuast and filter should make around 250hp at wheels or so, and sound sweet too

one project at a time

Good old Blacky, John (NA_R33) is a top bloke and this car freakin kicks ass, such a lovely tone and geeze does it go! Full write up of the conversion is in the NA section.
