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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
