Dunno why you'd use something like the prehistoric castiron VH block when you can use a lighter all-alloy VK56DE

the titan engine with a nismo supercharger would be the way to go if you wanted to keep it in the family... expensive compared to an LS1, but definitely sweet.

god I want one to jam into a Nissan Gloria or some sweet little sedan/cruiser.

The VH engine is also all alloy... the VK56 lost VCT got lower compression and a longer stroke... not good if ur after a high revving sports car type oriented engine... if u were after something for a burnout car then perhaps it would be a goer..

The biggest thing is cost and availability...

Very doable - all the examples of where it has been 'done', however, and all RWD vehicles. The topic is specifically about a gts4.

What with all that 4wd gear, and a different bell housing (is my terminology correct?), its more than a little different.

Cant you get the VH41DE in a 4wd version ie it must have the correct sump etc a 4wd application?

It might be the way to go if you want 4wd V8 instead of this idea over head valve (push rods) 2 valves per cylinder is performance.

OHV 2 Valves per cylinder should have died many years ago but GMH are a bit dim.

I n asnwer to your question with someone that would be willing to fabricate the parts needed yes you could do it, finding that person that will do it for a reasonable price would be near on impossible.. i have the gear to do but do not have the time nor the money..

If I was going to do something like this, how about a Toyota 1GZ-FE ?

V12, 5.0 litres, quad cams, all alloy. It would be like having two RB25DE engines side by side. The engine length would be very similar, so the 4WD sump might come pretty close to fitting with just an adaptor plate.

The Toyota V12 is very similar in design and construction to the well known Toyota alloy V8, but with four extra cylinders. It is supposed be a very well built engine, ideal for high Rpm. With a few modifications it would howl like a Ferrari, and make a pretty unique car.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
