Im sure some of you have picked up or atleast looked at the latest issue of Super Street, with the white Vq swapped S13 hatch. Well i have been considering what swap i wanna do in my hatch, and is figuring since i spend so much time around the Z why not do a vq swap. i mean vqswap.com offers a complete swap kit for 900$. Well while i was on the site reading the ungodly bold large print, They claim their Vq swapped S13 drifter is making 500hp (mustang dyno) on a vortech super charger.

Engine Specs-

T-trim

Standard Bore JE Pistons 8.5/1 Comp.

Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams, Springs, Retainers

Brian Crower Connecting Rods

Coated bearings

Cometic Head Gaskets.

so is this a true claim. Seeing as the standard vortech kit has hit that hight of a number, would a t-trim really be that key to 500hp vq?

and for anyone in cali who is interested in checking them out

Looks sick but I'd go turbo if I had my motor built. Must be so sick in that lil hatch though

I have that Super Street issue . Are you talking about the white 240SX ? It didnt have a WHP claim . The 500whp car maybe on the QVswap web site . But the mag mentions nothing about any WHP...says....COMING SOON !

I wanna see one of you Vortech guys strap on a V-4 blower.

No room for a wide enough belt to turn the T-trim to its full PSI

I think it is the same set up though. With the stroker kit and maybe higher PSI . It would get to 500whp . But with that serp belt...belt slipping takes over at 13psi no matter what you do . I know !!!

so you've tried TIMRODS belt fix and the additional pulleys then I take it

booger

You go right ahead and put all the freaking fixes you feel you need . You arent going to build boost much past 13psi....I dont know how many times you are going to try to start this same debate . The blower gets to hard to turn with a serp belt . It slips a little ...far sooner than 13psi anyway .

well if i do go through with teh Vq swap, ill prolly be boosting a turbo.......

IMO, if you are going to do a motor swap, go with something a bit more economical than a VQ35. These are not the cheapest motor to build and make HP with. You would be wiser looking for a different motor to swap in that 240.


PS Zilvia, nice seeing you and talking with you in Vegas a while back

yea it was cool meeting u and the crew. Hopefully once i get of school i can head that way for a while, maybe.

But if i were to swap the VQ in i would prolly just do bolt ons for the base.......2600lb car with 260whp would be plenty. But im still not sure, hell i might go RB25 instead. Something KA suck....specially N/A

Reading Super Street is hazardous to your intelligence. That's not a knock on the cars, just the mag.

Sorry, didn't meant to thread jack, but I felt like saying that.
