Does anyone know if this engine will fit into any of these cars?

Depends on what you mean by 'fit'. It's certainly not a bolt in proposition, but with enough time and $$ anything can be done. One of these has been shoe-horned into a 240Z. One problem is that there are no manual gearboxes that bolt straight up, so an adaptor plate would be required. Of course, doesn't matter if you stick with the auto.

Yeah, don't like your chances. John looked into that but if you saw the custom headers that had to be made to squeeze past the chassis rails then the turbo option quickly evapourates. Thats why he went down the supercharging path.

There's a VH45DETT in a S14 thats being built here in QLD, running twin XR6 turbos, custom plenums etc...

Very tight fit, turbos are located behind the headlights, inner guards have been cut to make way for the exhaust manifolds etc...

Be interesting to see how it goes once finish :)

There is a 300zx up here with one in it. He has used the 300zx manual gearbox with it, as thats what was in the car to start with from memory. I guess the major problem you will have is with the width, not so much the lenght.

Is that the orange one?

Yeah the S14 I mentioned is running a VG30dett box aswell.

Twin xr6 turbo's on a 4.5 litre will see decent boost by maybe 5500rpm..

Haha, be an interesting ride for sure once on boost.

Ok, well i was thinking to fir the engine up into a car, leaving the engine standard using Twin T04Z and the other assosciated bolt-on's, and once it grenades just removed and re-build it or buy another engine.

Should be good for over 1000hp me thinks, the car will be used as a drag car but i want to keep it registered and engineered as i would like to be able to drive it on the street every now and then

Cheers

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
