Nissan should abandon the torqueless VQ and just start installing LS3's. Sales would go up 50%

 

So would the price

 

turbo charge it! lol jk

 

LS3 is probably cheaper to produce then the VQ. Pushrods are cheap

 

With 48 pages and well over a year old... I have yet to see any numbers in this thread.

I want to know how much this engine swap costs, and what kind of numbers it is putting out...

 

Yeah, you would think with the demand and interest in such a project, there would be more info?? There isn't much listed on Hinson's website either.

I've gone from impressed to envy to irritated.

This thread is useless without the following:

1. What are the build options?
2. How much does each option cost?
3. What is the turn around time?
4. Where is this legal and illegal?
5. Where are the dynos?
6. What is fuel economy like?
7. Does the VDC still work and how effective is it?
8. What is the new weight distribution?
9. What modifcations to the fuel system is required?

Some of the above questions were danced around, but never fully answered. Mad props for the swap, but damn, we need more info. Unsubscribing in 1 week.

 

From what I could tell none of this information was provided. All I could find in reference to this swap was a number of $9,000. Currently a higher mileage C6 Corvette can be had for low to mid 30's.

Almost seems like a better value would be to just pony up a few extra bucks and buy a 05-06 Vette

 

I agree this is a bad idea and not worth the money.

 

^looking at your sig, you had crazy cars. and ending up with a VW

 

 

ENding up? Did I miss my own funeral? Son I'm just getting started

 

When will this thread finally die?

 

ok, I guess it was a little speed bump, now go out there and get that Z and dont settle for less than 600rwhp right off the bat

 

I'd assume when some of the questions above are answered

I'm really interested in picking up a high mileage Z and doing an LS swap - but that depends on the money factor involved.

I may end up in an E55 now need something business like

 

Careful....vladeztke works at the PENTAGON!

 

Noah,

Busy summer for me with work and track and other car projects, been off this thread for a while; got caught up now (I think -- doh!). Can you explain/give more detail to your "If I were to do it over again" recommendation of going with a simple 383 LS1 with heads and CAM (ah, not plural )? I have NISMO 408's in my Z. What kind of hp/tq would one typically get out of a 383 LS1 with heads and cam? Are strokers as reliable? I've never driven a stroker motor, from a driving characteristic, how would it differ from say the stock LS2 in my 06 GTO? Now that my track season is over for the year I am giving this swap more thought.

Any pics of the engine bay with SC installed? Did it clear the strut bar? Did you have to get a different one? Not use one? Require any hood modifications? What SC did you go with?

If you still need help with video let me know. Last I knew/remembered, you had a harness bar. I have an in-car video setup for my Z for the track that you could borrow if we were going to do a Fall meet or just gtg to get tons of video of that beast.

 

I have a really important question about swapping a v8 into a z:





















Will this thread make it to 1000 posts? haha~

 

silly girl

 

570 all motor

750 on spray

 

I'm curious why Noah wants to trade this car for an older Porche:
