570HP VQ35 in R34
Images courtesy of Overboost.
In Overboost's own words:
We've seen Skylines with some pretty crazy engine swaps, but this one takes the cake. This bad boy uses a Nissan VQ35 V6 engine (same as the 350Z) and lays down 570 horsepower with the help of a midsize turbocharger.
Don't understand why the code isn't making the pictures show up.

that looks really sweet. I've always had a thing for the R34's. To bad i'll probably never see one in real life, let alone drive one.
A 570hp VQ35 is a good sign. Cant wait till i can pull that kind of power out of a Z.
Good find man.

As engine swaps go...
gotta say this one if kinda dumb. I would seriously doubt that it's still AWD. Finding an AWD tranny to marry up to the VQ would be a pain in the butt and even if you did, that's changing the whole drivetrain around for 570 measly horsepower. Techno Sports garage here in Okinawa, Japan has an R33 GT-R that is AWD and boasts upwards of 1100 horsepower in a twin turbo setup.
Bottom line: There's no reason to change out an RB26 with anything else. People put RBs INTO their cars not take them OUT. The RB26DETT is legendary and is now becoming a piece of history
. I, for one, will be sad to see it go.
P.S. If you want to see some movies of the big boys running out here in Okinawa, check out our movies section at www.motorworx.com .

I'm going to have to second the motion and ask why in hell anyone would swap an rb out for a vq. In this r34's case, it is unnecessary weight increase in a car that is already combating a weight problem. Also, it is swapping out a powerful, proven engine for an engine with less current potential; few vq's have eclipsed 600hp while many rb's beat 800hp. I guess that the japanese have some pretty funky tastes along the way of engine swaps--evidenced by the rb-powered supra!
