VH45de into S14

[InspireMS]

very sweet project you got going on there gsracer. good luck with the remainder of it. keep us updated!

[wangan_cruiser]

good shit...props for the swap DIY

[s13_gearhead]

Wow. Damn.

That's all. Damn.

[Jesses240]

Very cool!

This thing will be a blast to drive, have any hood clearance issues.


Your custom work looks top notch ;-) Props

[Bigballin]

hockey puck.......





hardcore muthafucka!!

[OPP]

Very trick my friend!




Keep it Nissan? An LS would be a better choice?
What does it matter as long as its fast?

[Casse]

Thats an awesome swap I cant wait to see the final result

[rsxrcr87]

let us know what kind of gas mileage you can get with it. I love how you can get like 35 MPG with an LSX and a T56

[OBEEWON]

Wow man. Living my dream. This just renewed my goal to drop a VK56 into a G35. Great work man.

[SDS13COUPE]

Props to you. Thank you for keeping it NISSAN powered.

With some VH45de (might have been a vh41de)swap they notched the frame rails AND still had clearance problems with the hood... how difficult was fitment for you?
also, what modifications to the crossmember did you do if any?
last up, how much modification was required to mate the tranny to the block.. besides the adapter plate thing for the belhousing (that guy who did the maxima engine had to mill tons of little spacers and stuff to make it work)

I had to notch the frame rail on the pass. side for the alternator to fit

No modifications where made to the crossmember.

A simple adapter plate is being fabbed up by mazworx as we speak, similar to there SR to VG adapter plate.

No clearance problem with the hood, it closes with room to spare

I made the mounts outside of the car on a spare crossmember, Took the KA out bolted it in. In the end I was only 1/16 of an inch off in my measuments, I have already corrected the measurment.

[ranger240]

wow sounds like a great build... what are the costs of all this.. i know vh's are much more affordable than other v8 alternatives

when the build is complete you should sell spec sheets of what is required..(to me at least haha) where to notch.. a design for the adapter plate.. wiring.. mounts ..ect

with all the r&d out of the way.. i just might be able to con a mechanical engineer friend to do the grunt work

lol its already documented, not to mention no one is going to pay for anything like that. i could count for days how many PM's my freinds and i get on how to do the ls1 swap and wanting to pay for instructions and parts. hell look at hinson. it will be a while before they make anything off their lsx 240 setup. which is why the current parts are all booboo.

very cool car man, cleanest i've seen in florida. do you know sean love? he lives in south florida too and put a VH45 into an S13 last year, it'd be cool to see both of your cars side by side and compare them. keep up the good work, cant wait to see it with 8 itb's sticking up from the engine!

[gsracer]

Well to update, I have replaced the timing chain. Cleaned the engine thoroughly, and ready to drop it back in.

[TCtrackrunner]

That looks verynice. Good job and finish it well. Can't wait to see it move those wheels.

[PoorMans180SX]

lookin sick bro.

[silviatp23]

Very nice Swap! Pm sent!

[300hp owen]

aaaaaaack! v8 swap ownage!
"czech republic" rofl, thats awesome...
damn dude the red wrinkle paint makes the motor look great! nice choice on that for the valvecovers and well done swap work, nice to see someone put forth the effort for equal length manifolds. your car is going to be insane this year, do you have any magazine coverage in the works? because you should, your car is the tits on those wheels and with that v8 under the hood.

I'm excitied to see a non-LS1 v8 under the hood and to see how much power you can make with that motor. how hard is the wiring for your swap and how easy is that ecu to tune?

man, keep those pics coming! those engine close ups are DOPE!

[yaba94070]

defently an awsome project and i don;t think i have seen any one put this in there 240 yet...
congratz

[nevaland9]

nice work, wernt you the one selling a side exit exhaust off your car a little while ago? you should definitely do that again x2!!

[turbo2nr]

nice build looks clean. i cant wait to see the finished car

[nlzmo400r]

I can't explain how cool you are....... What kind if management is going to be used? Im sure a kickass tune on that engine would free up a lot of power. I also heard the earlier 4.1liters have a much more sporty nature in stock form than the later 4.5liters (the 4.1s used to rev to 7krpm!! )

[Ronald_Mcdonald]

Damn, that is such an awesome swap.

Did you post something about this on Floridafail?

Something like you took the measuremeants off of a spare shell you had laying around?

[azndummie]

this is so badass haha unique man

[Edgar]

this is a great build!

you can find these engines all day at the junkyard for not that muchhh.


*thinks*
