Hi, I'm new here and I've heard about some intresting engine swaps and engine combinations come out of Austrailia, like the RB30 with the 26 head, etc. I told my friends and they dared me to ask you guys to show us the craziest engine swaps Yanks have never seen! Show me V8s in S13s or any other work-inteisive but ultimately bizzare engine swaps!

There is one in this thread

S13 Conversion

Where the guy has put an RB25DET into his S13, added a second turbo (making it a DETT) and then replacing the turbos with HKS 2530s. Said to make about 400rwkw. I think that classifies as a crazy S13 swap.

13b turbo, 2jz, 1jz, vg30det, rb26dett, rb25dett have all been done in australia. putting a v8 in would be sacrilege.

Even a twin turbo Nissan 4.5L quad cam V8? :)

Links/Pics please!:)

the last 3 of those conversion have all been performed by TTracing in brisbane. the rb25dett is (as far as is known) australia's fastest silvia, the vg30 is owned by the owner of TTracing but was only completed the night before jamboree so i'm still waiting to hear about it's power and times. his son owns an rb26dett silvia but i haven't heard much about that.

the 13b turbo silvia is also in queensland and is almost finished i think. i have heard of the 1jz and 2jz being done but i haven't seen them and can't exactly remember where.

Already been done... it's in Newcastle/Hunter in a shed (Maitland) except it's a nutso NA one with 8-throttle induction and mega-spec cams. Hooked up to Skyline 5spd 'box and GT-R diff that's been cut-n-shut to fit.

Yet to run more than a few hundred meters as it has problems with gearbox vibration they can't sort out once the car gets over 40km/h

There's also a Supra in Tas with a JGTC-spec 3UZ-FE in NA-trim.

Very cool...:D

Theres a what down here? Can't say I've heard of that beast.

And whats a 3UZFE? I thought there was only the 1UZFE 4.0l and the 4.7l 2UZFE in the Cruisers?

I'll believe it when I see it!

cheers,

floody

The 3UZFE is out of the Japanese Celsior... and I think its the Lexus SC430 in Oz?

Bugger the 3UZFE, someone should put the 1GZFE V12 out of the Toyota Century into a Trueno or an Altezza, cut n` shut, I know but... can you imagine?

    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
