How About A Nissan Alloy 5.6l V8 Conversion?

[rev210]

Came across this VK56 a guys doing to his S14. Figure you should be able to get one into a skyline with a pair of turbos?

[R34GTFOUR]

that looks good, should be nice and torquey. It good to see the more extreme conversions still happening.

I doubt there are going to be any turbos on the side of that, by looking and the room just some simple headers look to be a stretch, although if they could make the manifold come to the front of the car, you probably could stick one nice big single in front of the engine.

What car is this out of??

the day my engine is knackered im gonna steal dads 400hp+ 5.7 v8 out his ss and put it in my line, the guy who tunes dads ss has a r33 with 5.7 v8 and he is so quick round barbagello,

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

kinda like this huh?

[Gts-t]

Yeah except the VK56 is nissan and has quad cams, not one lol

[VB-]

yeah and your gonna spend 30 grand to get a reliable 350rwkw.... haha yeah that LS1's a real pice of shit......

The VK56 has a pretty bullet proof bottom end.

These things are out of nissan Titans that weigh between 2200kgs to 2400kg's or so and 15.4 sec 1/4 miles out of the lightweight? 2,200kg ones have been done stock. not bad for a full size truck with a 5spd auto-gearbox. People get them into 12's with a small shot of gas . lose 800kgs or so and how fast would you go?

That would be the Street Force R33 Skyline, that conversion was done years ago, sounds nice as though.

And yeah that car above with the R34 GTR front end on it would be the twin turbo R34 coupe that is bashing around the Drift Australia circuits.

Also in regards to the VK56 conversion, I've seen a couple of people bash around with the VH45DE motor, which would be the motor series before the VK (which are also quad cam alloy V8's that are also a shit load cheaper to buy) in a couple of nissan platforms.

The main issue with the VH45DE was the height issue, with most people resorting to cutting the bonnet open to fit it in. And also finding that a manual gearbox bell housing would have to be fabricated to fit up a manual box. I believe there is a R33 with this conversion floating around in the Naturally Aspirated section with an auto box. Think it has a blower as well.

There are only two V8's that I would bother putting into a skyline and thats the 1UZFE (4.0l alloy quad cam V8) which I wouldnt bother unless there was some sort of forced induction hanging off the side of it....... or the LS1 which are a tough motor as it is, TON'S of aftermarket support like off the shelf turbo kits and have a variety of strong manual gearbox's to bolt up to it. Not to say also that replacement motors are dead cheap.

that r34 is the dls car audio drift car. i dont know who did the conversion though.

In all honesty coming from a commodore background, an ls series engine would probably be alot simpler and cheaper, not to mention the aftermarket performance range I's insane.

[iplen]

Excavator or front end loader?

[HYBRID VL]

i have heard alot of good things about the L67 V6 SC like its the strongest engine holden has ever built and stuff like that Guys running 10's with a twin turbo setup on standard internals also heard they are very hard to source and alot are fake standard V6 with a SC on top.
