Transplanting Engine?

[tehobbit]

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?

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

Or buy one that is already done as follows.

Yea that looks like a win.

Anyone got costings on dropping a single turbo kit on a V35 engine?

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.

So prehaps better to stick with an R34 or something like that...Grr at nissan for not releasing a new model DET skyline!
