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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
