What would you swap in?

 

I have seen some really nice RB26 swaps, it looks like it is made for that bay. I have seen alot of V8 swaps, but I just like the RB better. There was one at Uprev in Austin TX, and it was a 600 HP RB26 and man that thing was mean, Lots of room on the sides still and you still have room for a monster intercooler and radiator, he had them both at an angle. I have seen the VQ swap in 240sx's and in the 240z before, and it just doesn't seem to fit the car very well and I like what he did to make the plenum work, every swap in the 240z, they all had problems with the back of that neck.

 

Wow, so your just going to jump on tell the guy you don't like his swap and how he could have done it better? Maybe you should change your ID to something other than "Classy"

 

Outside of easy HP, strapping in this VQ has to have some major benefits?
- Better handling since it's so far back past the front axle?
- Manageable torque/ throttle response?
- Reliable?
- In a few years, VQ's will be a dime a dozen. Easy to find parts?

 

Also from what I've read it has

- more displacement
- lighter
- 6psd
- better weight distrution
- more reliable
- smoother power band
