Hi all, im new to the import/car scene and not exactly to mechanically minded but have read some awsome DIY and ect across this forum. I was wondering if it is possible to transplant a RB26DET or ect in a V35 and if so how much ball park to do it?

I have heard i would have to change all the running gear plus transmission? thoughts?

Yeap.

=D Not prehaps as insane as a GTR swap over but gotta keep the DET Love alive. None of this n/a crap..

Cheaper and less trouble to just add a Turbo kit to the VQ engine.

Or buy one that is already done as follows.

SAU For Sale: V35 Twin Turbo

OR

CAR SALES FOR SALE: V35 Twin Turbo 6psi making 229kw at the wheels

:ermm:

Just swap in a VQ25det (if you can find one) or you will have to build the 3.5 internals. There are a few single turbo kits like turbonetics but none I would recommend. I would get custom manifolds made for a GT35 and sit it where the airbox is.

E85 may help the high compression motor last longer with boost, as long as you have a servo selling it near you. ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
