Hi,

currently i'm running on a RB26 engine in my R32 which grunt out 610 on the wheel but i fell that it is running short of TQ.

hence was thinking to go bigger CC for the TQ.

should i go with RB30 which is much easier swap or something more radical like VH45, VQ35 or 1UZFE?????

i was thinking VQ35 but i am not sure that it would serve me right or not...

what i am looking for is somewhere 650 to 700 on the wheel with good TQ from low rpm till red line..

it would be sunday drive car or occasionally track day car hence i was thinking TQ would be nice to drive.

my car is not GTR hence i dont think that putting in another type of engine would be a waste.

i know alot of ppl will flame me for thinking of putting all those engine into a skyline......

Quite the opposite, I think I've read builds of the VH45 and VQ35 on sau. It's fun to experiment, as long as you realise the massive money sink that comes with uncharted waters.

I think MBS206 is currently putting an ls1 into an r33 (might be a different skyline?). Of those 3 engines, from what I've read the VH45 is the way to go. But I'm not sure on aftermarket support.

A twin turbo VQ35 has been done a bit before too, popular in the US I think.

Anyways, someone way more knowledgeable than me is about to come in and give you some much more useful info

the 1uz only make power with boost and won't get as far with fewer mods like a vq35. this some what the same with vh's they make considerable power with little to no mods but there's very little aftermarket support. it's up to application. I'd stay with your vq35 idea.

VQ35 with boost = new internals. VH45 with boost OK! RB30DET is proven combo and theres plenty of info on here about it.

The only thing about the VH45 is there timing chains are apparently weak, so if you get one regardless of age replace it anyway.

Some day I'll have a boosted VH45 in something...

yes vh45 are strong and timing chains a problem, but for boosted v8 you can't go past a vh41, they have double row timing chains and rev out more but still tough as nail internals. they race them in new Zealand, all they do is replace valve springs and retainers, big cams and rev them to 9000 rpm to make 500 hp naturally aspirated.

I have a 1uz and it's a very smoothe engine, but aftermarket support is pretty low. ITs a very popular conversion though, hilux an hiace in nz! Bullet Supercars make a supercharger kit, bloody expensive. I'd look at vq30det, garage in Adelaide has done it just can't remember the name

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
