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 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? :D

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,

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.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
