Default Swapping a VQ35DE for a RB26DETT

Is it worth it to swap a stock 2005 Nissan 350Z engine for a 2002 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R engine? Which will offer a higher horsepower output in the long run? Which can handle the pressure of a twin turbo FI kit?

just the fact that you've even asked this question tells me you're not going to do it and that even if you really wanted to, you have zero idea about the complexity involved in such a swap.

Totally worth it! I have one in mine. The GTR badge alone will add +10whp.

I didn't know the vq35de could not handle twins.
