300zx's have VG30DETTs an VG30DEs. . .they're not that much different than today's VQ's and VR's. If you're really skilled enough to do DE to DETT swaps, then you should have enough know how to add a turbo to a VQ?

There are no "easy" questions. But you already knew that. The real question is, why don't you read this book. It'll tell you EVERYTHING you need. It'll answer your deceptively complex question.

There's only one guy that's "done this" and there is already a link to his post. Why not ask him? (Good 'n Tight on G35Driver.com) Most people get a kit. The R&D has been done for them that way.

Horrible thread. Beside phunk's post explaining in preschool terms why you would have to be a either a moron or someone with just too much money in order to toss the VQ35 for an RB26, this whole thread should disappear.

But since we are here anyway, I will offer a few predictions:

1. GetYouSum350z will never put an RB26 in a Z. He is just member number 260,839 to come here talking **** about how he is going to swap XX engine into his car and thats the last we ever hear of it. I can count on one hand how many documented swaps I've seen on this site, and while I'm sure there are quite a few more out there, statistically, it aint looking good for you.

2. The OP (I have forgotten your name after suffering through three pages of this thread, sorry) will not build a custom turbo kit. I will give him the benifit of the doubt; he will take some measurements, he may even buy some of the required parts, but we will never see a 'Check out my finished custom turbo setup!" thread from him.

My disclaimer; I am not really an a$$hole, its just that we see these threads so often that its hard to take anyone seriously anymore. Prove me wrong, fellas.

Here's another good book for anyone interested in building a custom turbo kit:

http://www.amazon.com/How_To_Build_Custom_Turbocharger_Systems/dp/0837601606/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207952766&sr=8-1

Once again, i am embarrassed to have entered this thread.

The RB2x swap has been discussed numerous times, and there has already been 2 2jz swaps done (i pretty sure).

Phunk has already given numerous reasons why not to do an rb2x swap. Poor powerband, the amount of time, fabrication, and money is extensive. The RB does have a much stronger block than the vq, but the amount of money used JUST to swap could have a sick built VQ with a much larger and useable powerband. Personally if i were you i'd look into to GTM's twin turbo kit, HKS' turbo setup kit, or Greddy's twin turbo kit.

Oh and how do you know what Greddy's kit put down on the HR? As far as i know they both did not release numbers or graphs that i've seen. Link?

And we laugh @ no0bs like you guys that come on here thinkin you can just say something and make it happen your own way. But like it was discussed before, its not cost efficient, nor time efficient, and has a poor powerband compared to doing the VQ. But hey, if you wanna do it, then by all means go ahead.

dude u have no idea what a rb engine is! everyone thinks they are old technology but they really arent. the cost for this swap is not bad being that im doing most of the work, and i agree that it will take time, but rome wasnt built in a day was it?

I believe the RB26 was first released on a production car in 1989, while the VQ35 was first released in 2001.

As far as computer technology, in 1989 Intel realeased a 486DX processor at 33mhz. In 2001, Intel had released a 2.2ghz Pentium 4 processor.

I know it's not truly related, but a lot can happen in 12 years technologically.

Buddy, youre a little out of your league on this one, I have several degrees in automotive fields, and also about to open up my own shop. Im not about to sit here and listen to a teenager try to talk me down. Do yourself a favor, grow up if you are going to try to last around here. Especially with the cocky attitude you have. Ill give it to ya, you got some bawlz for a 18 year old. Cant wait to se you at ZdayZ with youre RB swap.
