hmmm.. nismo car + swap--> VK56... lots of money wasted :/ why do a swap on a nismo?

 

dam there are a bunch of haters on here.. Let him swap watever he wants. at least he aint swapping an american motor into an import. OP do it i am sure it can be done and let us know how it is when its done.

 

Who cares if it's a Nismo. They're not that special.

OP, go for it!

 

This isn't gonna go well.

 

I would like to see this done. There was a guy on here that tried to swap a VH45 engine and it took up pretty much the entire engine bay. The spark plugs were almost unreachable. Is the new M56 motor much smaller in size? I know it's got healthy hp & tq numbers, but the question is will it fit? I'm sure it will so this is just a question.

 

I know they are not special. But, have you seen the market value for a nismo vs a non-nismo :/

 

This is true, but OP already has the car. I guess he's in a tight spot.

I'd be curious to see if this could work. Doesn't the new engine have direct injection? Is that an issue when doing ECU tuning? I know it's a problem for the MazdaSpeed3 crowd, and the Lexus ISF crowd.

 

No pioneer here. Just another dead-end "Has anybody?" thread.

 

why do you feel the need to put your two cents in every single thread on this forum? jesus christ you're annoying.

 

yeah but that's like saying the DE and the HR are the same motor, and they most certainly are not.

 

yeah, but he's got an awesome post count!

 

Comments like these usually come from ppl who don't have a Nismo. In the words of Jamie Kennedy "Dont be hatin!"

OP, would be curious if you could pull it off. Good luck.

 

 

^lol at davidv's 5 month rebuttle!!

from my perspective-itd be interesting. however the limitations that arise when trying to integrate all the newer nissan/infiniti motors seems to be a huge downfall. also the direct injection is a pos. the new vk56 is great, in the m. i cant sem to justify the cost of the swap vs an f/i kit that will yield more power and less of a headache. even an ls swap seems less of a hassle

 

sooooooo.... Did this vato actually swap the motor????....

 

lol you're right the VK56 was a little bit of a stretch unlike my RB26, that will be going in this winter i'll keep ya'll posted on how it goes, pics soon

 

unfortunately no V8 for me, thanks to my buddy John at Otaku Garage i will be dropping a RB26 in my little nismo with his help

 

RB26.............lol

Waste of effort.

 

No ****, as for the LS don't knock it that's where I'm headed be it in a Z or a
Vette or Firebird build.


why?

 

O........
