I’m thinking to swap my VQ35 engine with RB26 DTT with upgrade .
What do you think guys?

 

Wow I see a trainwreck coming... just say no.

 

Why ??

Rb26 can easy goes up to 600+
but VQ35 Its not going to bring it that easy

 

both you guys have the same post count thats funny lmao.. Do not underestimate the power of the VQ... Do your research and decide for your self what you want to do... End of story

 

Do some research on the VQ before you write it off. I thought LS-1 swap at first but with a closer look at my goals the VQ is sufficient. That being said, I do believe the RB26 is an awesome platform that can reach 600HP easier, but unless you have on lying around and also have the ability to do the install yourself I would stick with the VQ. Unless money and time is no object. Just my opinion

 

I'm also tired of hearing about these threads. SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!! Other people have had the same idea as well and I'm not to sure how many actually did it.... With that being said close/thread

 

I can afford the money but I don’t want to wise my money on the VQ.
Because if I spent the same amount on both the RB26 will makes you smile.

 

So you want to swap in a heavier, older, less technological engine? Really. Let's look here. First off I can tell you don't have funds to build the VQ nor do you have funds to buy or build a 26. Because if you did for the price of the 26 you could have a Greddy TT kit ready to install. With a good build sheet that kit alone is good for 700+.

 

Do you have the RB26 motor and tranny already??? More than likely you'll have to rebuild the motor and the tranny, so figure in cost for the motor/tranny the cost to upgrade it the cost to install unless you're doing it yourself a completely different wiring harness and the list goes on.... If you're not experience in this dont do it.. Even if you have someone else do it you're paying buca dollars.. Quick question how old are you??

 

Sell the Z and use the money to buy a 240sx shell and put an RB26 in it. Depending on what year your Z is you could easily build a 600HP 240 with what you get from the Z.

yeah I understand that there are many things must change. and no way that i can do it by myslelf. i'll take to a good garag.

Im 28

 

If you got the money then buy the Skyline....... That will make you smile when you open your garage. If I where you I'd buy a skyline that needs some work and just rebuild/restore it. Just did a quick ebay check for the motor you're lookin for and it's gonna cost anywhere from 3k-4k cause everybody wants that motor and thats not including the price for the tranny good luck finding one too i might add

llamo u makes laugh alot

First of all I got 2007 M5 & 350Z

and i want to start a project on my 350Z cuz Im drifter.

and hope u feel good with ur 350Z .

That would be perfect if u show us some PIC of ur Z

 

Look Newbie I say newbie cause you just logged in here on my350z. He does make some good points about somethings and you shouldnt be a douch about it. You asked for some opinions and now you're getting them... If you cant take some of the comments you're going to get than maybe you should just leave.. But you said it your self that you DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE VQ MOTOR and right now it's defin showing.... IF you want the RB26 than get it and lets close this thread before the real fists start flying

 

yeah u r right but u know i love to have one of the GTR35. to be honest i dont see myself paying $100,000 on nissan.

 

Where are you getting your figures???? You need to do some shoppin.....Plus I thought you were lookin for somethin to drift in were you not???

 

Anyways thanx for ur comment.

 

I thought about. but i like how the 350z look.

and its 2003

 

I'm going to be straight with you, if you wanna throw in a RB motor in the Z go ahead not me or anybody can stop you and if you have the funds and have other reasons of putting in the RB motor than go ahead, and happy drifting.....

 

one of the worst years for the Z that and the 06 no offense to those who own them i have an 03 myself but everybody here knows those years were not the best....
