And This swap is Effen Sick. I'll be watching

silnismo · 04-30-2007, 02:29 PM

anymore updates??

gsracer · 04-30-2007, 02:58 PM

Just waiting on the clutch and water pump at this point, started a new job so time has been cut short lately, but im hoping im less than 3 weeks from driving

MrHolister · 05-11-2007, 11:20 AM

Can't wait to read more....I'm working on a similar swap, only in an s13. So I'm very anxcious to see your project running.

nlzmo400r · 05-25-2007, 01:11 PM

what kind of electric water pump did you decide on?

they have tubular headers stock dude... nothing compared to the custom ones but pretty tight for stock.

so how is clearance with the brake booster? you running the OEM s14 booster or what? I know the S13 one is a bit thinner...

ch1873857 · 05-25-2007, 02:50 PM

this is fuel the project we have taken up. rebuilt VH in a coupe with megasquirt and custom plenum. i have to hand it to you, thats definately a sick car. kinda curious why you went with that water pump setup though. good luck dude. hopefully ours turns out just as nice as yours. those headers pwn

jaja · 06-03-2007, 02:19 AM

nice mod - always thought someone would eventually do something crazy like this.

wonder what something like this would run - any if it would be remotely close to smog legal in cali - i'm sure you could make it, but not sure with the headers.

but again good luck with the transplant and more pics please!!

ch1873857 · 06-03-2007, 08:12 PM

the vh had pretty much tubular headers from the factory but had a lot of emissions junk that if you take out you would probably fail smog, emissions, whatever

bleach8484 · 06-03-2007, 08:18 PM

Thats the luxury of living in florida without emmisions

Im ready to see video

I'll drink to that. (born in Orlando)...and +1 for vid

jaja · 06-04-2007, 10:17 AM

Yep - but I'm sure it (legal swap to VH) can be done.... that would definately be the final mod for my vert. Even without any crazy mods I figure you can easily get 250 at the wheels...

Not sure about the powdercoating though - I know it has nothing to do with emissions, but I can see that as a CHP magnet

I'd keep it bone stock - no chrome parts, keep the infiniti engine conver and all...

Chaws15 · 06-04-2007, 10:50 AM

SUBSCRIBED!!!!

glhf with the build. Cheers

UfoZ8myCow · 06-04-2007, 10:57 AM

Any updates on this beast??

MrHolister · 06-08-2007, 11:53 AM

Um.....what ever happened to this project...it kinda disappeared..

gsracer · 06-09-2007, 07:22 PM

Its not dead yet, got a new job so havent had time until recently, hope to have it done soon,

Heres where im at.

Due to a gross miss calculation on my part, i put one of the primaries on the pass header thru the starter and that kind of side tracked me for a while. I cut it off and im just gonna re route it.

scribbles6 · 06-09-2007, 08:01 PM

awesome project bro! mad props. when you are done, would you mind posting up the total cost of this project, i wanna get an idea of what i'm looking at if i was to do this swap since i thought of it but i just don't know for sure yet.

Thanks

JDS Performance · 06-09-2007, 09:03 PM

I signed up too - awsome thread!

Nice , I gotta come down and check out your ride sometime !

Hey GSRacer, do you follow SuperGT? All GT500 class Nissan machines run this engine. Good enough for Super GT, good enough for me

Couple of questions.

Did you consider the VQ35DE engine?
What tranny options did you consider?
Why did you replace the timing chain?

gsracer · 06-10-2007, 06:14 PM

Anyway heres todays progress , put the tranny back together took 15 minutes total.

Good news is the mazworx tranny to chassis mount for the sr20 kit is a direct bolt on in my application which means that the drive shaft for the vg trans with sr20 will bolt on too, makes this ten time easier

I did consider the vq but thats another boring swap, i have a freind with a twin turbo vq in an s14 already

Tranny option in my mind was only one z32 tt 5 speed

Timing chain was replaced because they are a known failure in this motor.

avs0730 · 06-10-2007, 06:34 PM

looks great can't wait for a video on this car.

gsracer · 06-14-2007, 06:34 PM

Got the driveshaft on. Another Mazworx part.

Engine coming out again for the 24 billionth time

Since i made the headers with out a tranny attached to the motor i wanted to make sure it didnt crash the headers into something after it was installed so did the driverside today

My Mile and a half of steering column clearance

.

Clutch will be here tommorow and after this weekend motor should be in there permanatly.

oke
