thats sweet post up power figures when u get them mate

I feel sorry for your diff.

there is going to be some serious torque there with the blower.

I havent read the thread but that looks like a VQ45. beutiful engine. That engine put out 206kw at standard in the "gentlemens agreement" it and it was under rated quite a lot.

I put in a guess at 320RWKW.

Thanks guys, its a vortech V2 T Trim Blower.

Sweet mate looks really good. I am in talks with a mate at the moment about putting this model v8 or a lexus v8 in a r33 gtr and make the 4 wheel drive work and add a turbo. Whats the room like around the brake booster and the clutch master cylinder, and how much clearence is there around the exhuasts on both sides???

Good luck, its a bloody good idea!!!

[NA_R33]

No room for turbos thats for sure, not without body mods and i want this to be 100% street legal so im not going anywhere near that. I built a custom set of headers to turn down really sharp otherwise they would be sitting on the rails.

Be nice to see one in a GTR, lots and lots of fabrication... just not something im bothered with atm... Ive still got my GTR and im trying to get rid of it, it just doesnt interest me as much as this does.

Well it would be a big single turbo so both exhausts would kind of be like a log manifold facing foword, and then run the dump back under the passenger side engine mount or something aroun there. The biggest hastle for me as although its his car I will be doing all the work is cutting and shutting the sump to suit an engine that 1 has a totally different bolt pattern on the bottom then secondly is 2 cylinders shorter in length but wider!!!

hi, just an idea regarding turboing the V8, have you seen this before:

they mount the turbo at the back of the car!

sounds strange but maybe it could work

My friend has a T-trim on a holden/isuzu rodeo 3.2 6cyl which was stroked to 3.7l and it pushes just over 400rwkw with 25psi.

But oh my god are those things damn loud at just idle!! The BOVs vent constantly and they scream. To the uninitiated it sounds like something is wrong from the loud grinding sound from the supercharger.

Somebody mentioned about your diff and torque. This rodeo had a new ford 9 inch and on its first pass (slicks) it smashed the living daylights out of it. Fitted up a strange full spool and next time out spat out an axle. Fitted in some moser axles and tried again and then it ripped the front of the diff housing off. This is with a six so yeah its gonna make some grunt with your package.

A t-trim at full noise on your motor in an R33 will run deep into the 11's if not a 10 if you can put it down.

the engine looks messy

[NA_R33]

in what way?

[GTRgeoff]

That is a beautiful thing to see. I think I'm going to get a bit weepy now.......

I cannot wait to see this when I get back to Qld

[R34]

I had considered putting a Q45 engine into a CPV35 Skyline but was told they weigh so much more than a VQ35DE engine.

Did you weigh the engine at all as I would be interested to know.

A V35 V8 non supercharged would be a nice daily driver i think.

Cheers

[NA_R33]

it was an absolute dream as a daily driver, now its just gonna be a really quick daily driver.

Messy engine WTF??? Looks factory to me?

R34 - wouldn't be much point throwing the V8 into the V35, yes it would push a bit more power, but you may as well just go with forced induction on the VQ35. Even if you're looking at a cost point of view, pick up a lower spec V35 without the VQ35 and throw in a late mode VQ25DET from a stagea

[180bfj20det]

I like people doing something different like this. Well done. As for the power it will produce, any decent engine with forced induction will produce easily 100rwkW per litre...so it means 450rwkW for this sucker!!!!! GTR drivers start pissing your pants. As for if its a strong enough engine....coated pistons from the factory and 6 bolt bottom end. Thats stronger than your RB26!!!!!

[NA_R33]

almost there

[WHITER33GTS-T]

That is awesome i want 1. Looks good and fills up the bay.

[strutto]
