VH41DET r32

Hi,

 

I've spent the afternoon searching the forums for info on a vh 41 conversion into an r32.

 

I've found lots of topics on people doing it in racecars, or people talking about doing it but never posting the finished product.

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has done it in a street car and if there are  any businesses experienced in doing it? It's something i'm very interested in but the quotes i've gotten locally are insane because no one has done it before.

 

Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

There's a few around and its pretty straightforward - the bell housings are available over here and no doubt in Aus as well. If you're going to pay someone to do it it will cost an arm and a leg. But why bother? An RB30 makes much more sense..

This is an R33 but its much the same:

and this is an R32 but  VK56

Search through the N/A section.  There's a VH45 conversion owned/run by Captain Natro, who (I think) is maybe from the Toowoomba area also.

If it had to be a Nissan V8, go VK56.  Cubes count.

On that front, go LS.  7 litres of goodness.

If you want to keep sanity, as per Bob's suggestion go RB30DET.

Search up mcmtv2 on YouTube and they do a vh41 swap in a stagea. Very very detailed so hopefully that should help

Complete with turbo - a great job but they are not willing to put a dollar amount on it - would probably be north of $100,000! - although AWD added to the complexity.

Here's the video - there's  about 12 episodes I think:

Only issue is I want it turbo and engineered all I have to keep low capacity.

Yeah I've watched all of them but I figured that rwd would have to be much more straightforward.

I just had a look at captain natro, he is in Toowoomba, I know how car. Pretty sure it's got an ls though.

OK, let me put it another way.  You want more cubes.  VH41 is old old old tech, common era with RBs pretty much.  VQ is the new hotness.  Provides most of the "more cubes" you could get from the VH but with a whole lot more modernity, more compact dimensions, ease of making exhaust manifolds and turbo locations and blah blah blah.  Lovely 6 speed gearbags available.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
