So I recently bought a 2003 350z and I was debating about doing an rb26 engine swap on it, I saw a post somewhere about a guy who do it and I fell in love with it, I was wondering around how much this would cost I know it going to be pricey and no one will be able to give me an exact price but I want a rough estimate, I am also looking for achieve 500-600hp with TT and the car would be a daily driver for the summer so it need to be durable/reliable.

Honestly if your asking about price your not ready.

Swap will probably cost you as much as any other 2j or LS swap. So I'd expect any where from $10 - $20k just for the swap including trans, motor, mounts, wires, ecu and what ever else comes with the territory. Not to mention added cost of actually getting to 600 hp after the fact.

Probably not worth your while unless you have cash to blow and really want this done.

The build won't happen for a while my thought is I'd engine swap it once the orginal engine dies, currently has 62k miles. So I got plenty of time to save up

Use the search bar and research for yourself. Literally type "RB26 Swap". There is a very detailed thread on this site with a BMW with this swap and alot of pictures. I'll give you the fun of figuring out where it's at from here.

If price is your option, go with a LS. Cheap, easy, and reliable. RB's have **** oil pumps from factory that cant handle more than ~450hp without being a ticking time bomb, most effective solution is dry sump which means $$$$. 2JZ is an easier built for reliable power, but more expensive, and not as common as a LS.

But as the others have suggested, take your time to search the forum thoroughly about each specific swap and what the benefits/cost is.
