ok here i am again , it just doesnt feel rite when my car is drivable i think . so im about to pull it apart again . so far ive collected vh45 de gt42 turbo os giken twin plate clutch just ordered a mazworxs adapter and on that if any one else wants to buy one they list the postage as $460 but if you ask they do it for $98 . it all looks relatively straight forwards except the exhaust manifolds which look very hard but thats where its going straight to the exhaust shop . im hoping to run about 12 psi through it but we will have to wait and see how it goes on the dyno up for sale soon will be my tt engine and arc side mount coolers
woohoo, another VH That'll make a nice power figure with that bit of boost... As you probably already know, Chrispy's build thread is an awesome source of info for the swap.
I hate you all! Good to see the VH is becoming a common swap. Would love you do it myself too one day.
On topic but off topic, would a VK series engine, in particular the VK56 fit in a Z? That'd be hell cool too. Good luck with the conversion
Fantastic, so good to another VH45 swap. Will be interesting to see how it goes with the turbo. Goodluck James
that would be a pretty nice ride, convertible v8 i love the comment about not feeling right when its drivable lmao
not sure on the dimensions of the VK56, but the VH is quite a tight fit already... I'd hell do a VK45 though
my collection of parts is growing , im really happy with that mazworx adapter it was only $550 au delivered and it looks top quality
earlier in the week i made a sump and painted the rocker covers and plenum , i love how that wrinkle paint looks ive also been trying to figure out how to fit some 180degree manifolds but im not sure how much luck im going to have fitting a big turbo and a intercooler behind the reo that goes between the rails on the convertibles so i might have to settle for a simple manifold lay out
also i need a set of coil pack covers for the vh if any one has a set they want to sell and a idle control valve
you have the money for one inc the box? i dont see why it wont fit, v6 dohc with turbos, same as ours, just 800cc bigger.
Mating up the gearbox will be the biggest issue. You might as well go the R35 gearbox, or a proper race transaxle. By the time you have spent the money doing it you might as well have bought a R35GTR to start with... And you should start your own thread rather than hijacking someone elses
How good is that method of using wire to prototype manis? I'm thinking of using PVC pipes in with the same OD as the primaries... easier to see clearance Chip in for a parts engine? I'm missing some stuff as well
i think its really usefull using the wire because you can measure the length then bend them to make them fit , i cant imagine how hard it would be to get equal length runners by measuring pipe , i still have to drop this in the car though and see how much space there is , im starting to doubt it will fit even with out the radiator in the front i kind of forgot how huge that turbo is compared to my car
