the vk is good for 600hp in stock form same as an ls2/ls3 and they still cost twice as much at the yard. Titan motors are cheap, cheaper than a vq for that matter. if i wanted a car with an ls in it theres no point of putting it in a z go buy a corvette, if you want a car with a vk in it your SOL without a swap, i believe swaps should be done with motors from the same make unless none are available |

How much does that VK motor weigh? |
503lbs 20-30 more than a vq37

yeah but looks better in a z and they can both make more than enough power to keep me happy so stfu and take your bitchin over to the why didn't i buy a corvette thread.

I don't think there is a thread like that, though, and I certainly wouldn't be in it if there were. |

Why can't people just say "cool good luck" if it costs him 50 grand that's his problem clearly he wants to be original. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Good luck, hope it works out for you. Can't wait to see it. |
About 5 years ago i was looking at 350s and came across an AWD 350 z using infinity all wheel drive and man every one was saying ohh its a crap install there are going to be problems not to mension the costs but then i though that monster there will leave any skyline in the dust.....Damn i still want one lol.
P.S. Ops read the argument 2 late, seriously dude stfu and get a corvette. |

And I have seen that, it was a great job but honestly it was pure publicity (similar to the Juke-R by Nissan). |
ok sad for the project/great for me, this has all been put on hold for a bit, might be moving and may need money now we'll see move might not work outin which case it's back on, or if i do move once i get settled i will start again, after selling all my stuff.

Yoshi's VK56DE 240SX Build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum here's a guy putting one in a 240 with a 370z tranny and adapter plate .If you read the thread another member says that there is a 370z in his area with this very swap . so looks like others are doing it . Really cool ,could be long term power here's a 280 swap http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...ld-thread.html and someone just starting another 240 http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...240sx-s14.html

I just read somewhere that Nismo developed a 3.4-liter VK-series V8 engine for LMP2 cars. Interesting.
|
found this sounds great from another thread 350z Revs on Vimeo
My Vk56 Swapped 350z *video* - Page 2 - Nissan Titan Forum http://vimeo.com/14470732 http://vimeo.com/14627971 |
if it were a small move i would just keep rolling but i don't want to truck a motor across the country with all my sh!t, and tow the car so i can't start till stuff is figured out. I was going to buy the motor the day the call came in.

GM experimented with DOHC designs and stuck with cam-in-block for a reason. These reasons have been detailed again and again and again, but suffice it to say when you have a 450# motor complete from manifold to oil-pan that will make over 500 horsepower and pass emissions, you have a winner. Now consider that it will produce over 500 horses at the TIRES with exhaust and a mild cam and a tune. [/QUOTE] Actually GM didn't do anything other than hire Lotus to do all of the engineering and design for the LT5 if that is what you're talking about?? |

Now old thread, but there are 2 known builds with the Nissan V8. Chris Forsberg: Hard C.O.R.R. - This Z Keeps Its V8 Power In The Family * | DSPORT Magazine #110 MCA 370z drift car: The new MCA 370Z ‘Drift Monster’ build! | MCA Suspension's Blog |
Ya, I've seen them. This thread was the reason I joined because I was contemplating to help a friend undertake this project.

Allow me to retort. I believe R07 is just GM's name for their motor; now just arguing semantics... Or perhaps my info is dated then? I don't follow nascar, but either way, it is not an OHC design which is what I was trying to get at. Is that better for you?
|
I am just saying if you are going to bring an old thread up, you might want to check your facts. There are similarities between the LS and R07, but it isn't like you can swap parts back and forth between the two. Think VQ vs VK.
NASCAR uses OHV because that is a RULE in their series. Toyota doesn't have any OHV motors, they had to build one from the ground up in order to compete. Heck, they just got EFI recently. It's one of the reason why BMW and Nissan chose not to compete in NASCAR even though there is a huge marketing opportunity available. |
Hey come on its not dead im still looking for a motor. Anybody find one for 1000 cash shipped let me know.
Edit: or a 1000 card shipped looking to buy cheap and build. |
I was quoted 1500 at a local salvage yard a few months ago including all accessories and the harness and ecu.
|
so 2000 shipped up here thats my problem trying to find one locally for cheap that i can just go pick up hell id take it out if i had to. I want to do it super cheap so i can show it can be done. I have access to CNC machines and can make whatever parts I feel like such as flanges and billet swap engine mounts, and can handle the rewiring by myself so i save most of it there, but every penny counts. by building my own ms3x ecu i'm only spending about 600 for the fuel and ignition components and all this leaves money on the table for pistons,rods,studs,gaskets, and maybe a turbo or two.
|
fixed a PS3 for a salesman at the local yard and hes hooking me up with an $800 discount on a motor now that's how i do things. 06 vk 60,000 miles compression and oil pressure tested pics when i pick it up in a few weeks.
|
What does vk56 weigh? What is size compared to LS? I like idea of Nissan V8. LS powered cars are a dime a dozen. Well done vk56 is much more appealing to me. Looks like that motor sits nice and low in the chassis!
|
it somethin like 45lbs more than the v6 in factory trim. wider at the heads than an ls and a bit taller the intake manifold is a lot taller but not more than the truck ls.
|
http://www.the370z.com/members/1slow...vk-awesome.jpg progress made
|
Holy sh!t! So this project is on? Awesome! :tup:
|
Yeah giving my self a year and a half for the whole project. budget has 4300 remaining after motor. Plan is itb's, megasquirt, adapter plate and flywheel, coated piston tops, thicker mls headgasket, motor refresh, and a single turbo setup, engine mounts and accesory brakeckets too. lots of stuff to do.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but just in case it hasn't
370Z Drift Monster – In House Custom Work | MCA Suspension's Blog Bit harder than you might think... |
No they went about it a bit diferentlythan most. One im not using a sequential and if i did it would be the quaife 350z unit so i wont be making a different drive shaft and my trans adapter will be much simpler. two. i dont need the engine touch the firewall because this will not be a pro race car, yet, 3. the vk and stock pan will fit no need to change steering rack. See where this is going? My policy is dont crazy **** because this isnt a pro time attack car. Hell mckinney makes mounts for the swap.
|
U tell me why i need to stick 10 grand into it to move a 35lb heavier motor 2 more inches towards the firewall. Im just gonna move the battery.

Very cool -- keep us posted! |
Yeah thinkin of using the msII 3.57 with ms3x. factory nissan coils with built in ignitors for cop new cam and crank trigger for full sequencial fire and fuel. Havent decided on injectors yet tho wether to go low our high, and as for what style be it bosch our denso or what.
|
I would do a RB26 if I had the funds for it :), they have a few 350s with RBs I'm sure the 370 would be better
