i did some search on the vr38dett as far as pricing / weight .. etc

the reason am posting this is having the reliable engine of vr38dett in our cars with out all the hasel

the engine wight 608lb and cost 30K for just long block but on the other hand u can push 600whp+ realy easy and it would still be u DD


what do u think guys

 

for 30k you can build a very reliable vq35tt that will handle 600+whp.

so, no, its not a good idea.

 

oh boy...

 

*facepalm*

 

gt500 shelby engine cost 14K ... why the vr38 cost so much is it because its hand built ?

 

Take that 30k. Sell your car. Then go purchase a GTR. Problem solved.

 

i assume it will set on the vq35 engine mounts ?

 

 

indeed sir, indeed...

 

You know what "assume" stands for?

 

I assume this is a dumb idea. There is so much wrong with it I don't even know where to begin. For the cost of the motor and a swap, you could just have a sick nasty VQ. Problem solved.

 

guys am not doing the sawp .. i though a bout it but not for 30K for sure if it was for 15K i would do it without thinking twice

i just want to have general idea on what it takes to make it maybe in the future when we can find good used engines

 

I would take A LOT. Considering how sophisticated that entire car is, it would be a nightmare.

 

i have a built engine bye the way by GTM no problems what so ever ... also am upgrading to there tt kit now

i though to exchange info thats all !!

 

i heard it was difficult to get your hands on any gt-r parts without having a warranty claim

 

No need to flame, he was merely asking if it is possible.

Yes it is, but it won't be cheap Although you will have a closed deck block, which would eliminate a lot of issues with high horsepower applications.

I would do it if I was to build a 800+ rwhp car (not to say it can't be done with a VQ, but a closed deck will be much better suited for the job.)

The nice thing about the VR38 is that it does not have VVEL, which will make things easier to retrofit into our cars.

You can put any engine in any car... Using a standalone ems , the wiring wouldn't be a big deal... You can make mounts if they don't line up... I would think the hurdles to overcome with a vr swap would be cost effectiveness and transmission. Don't bother trying to make that trans work while doing awd conversion... Cause at that point its just too far to take a 350z... But if you could adapt stock trans to it, it could become realistic in a few years

 

Lul

 

A 350Z AWD has already been done (lifted with modifications from a G). I am not sure if still is currently operational though

Also, PPW have swapped a SR 20DET into a 350Z and an Infinity V8 racing motor in a 350Z

 

what eff why are ppl flaming?

cant hate the guy for wondering....

I wouldnt be a bad idea lots of power stock motor in a lighter car whats to hate?

yeah its not cost effective but what is? Maybe in a couple of years when they are plenty of bapped gtr's it wont be that bad.... plus will be able to get a 350zfor like 5-6k.


awd....Nope but maybe a 350z's tranny will mate with the the vr's bell housing?
