Ls1 In A R33 Gts4

[phunky_monkey]

I agree with you on that one mate, I too like to keep things 'in the family'. Having said that though I do thing a 33 is a ripe candidate for an LS1... and a 180sx a candidate for a 20B

[NA_R33]

Hahahaha, yeah, were considering putting a 20B in a 1967 Holden HR Special....

My mate just has to do it...

[342Four]

why would u want to put a 2jz gte in a skyline

thats even more crazy than a ls1!!!

[NA_R33]

wasnt a skyline was a S13 silvia...

[342Four]

oh - yeah, u didnt say skyline u said nissan so i just assumed...

[NA_R33]

its all good, doesnt make it any less worse

[gts4diehard]

how about a Nissan VH?56 out of the titan ute, 5.6L 32 valve V8 - should be better set up for awd ...

[342Four]

^^^^^winnah!!!!!

yeah - vh56de

then make it vh56de+sc

[funkymonkey]

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.

heres a pic of one.

[sh@un]

That supercharged Titan engine has the longest serpentine belt I think I've ever seen

[Let Me Drive]

its cool MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[NA_R33]

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...

there is a r34 with a turbocharged ls1 in adelaide. so its very doable

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.

[R33NT]

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.

[NA_R33]

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..

[gts4diehard]

Going thru one of my old dvds I found some footage of a Nissan Patrol with a mid mounted 4.1 V8, sounds awesome from the '02 or '03 NZ 4wd finals - and definitely 4wd!

[Warpspeed]

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.

V12 ... I like it ...

now all I need is a spare 10k (or more?)

and make is 2 x RB25DET...
