single turbo is easier then one would think. its simply a matter of a return pipe around the back of the engine, much like the VG30DET. there is a Z31 in perth thats been built by hyperdrive which has a VH45, single snail and engine management - 450hp - stock guts potential plus, and not as ...

Id 'say' better then the GEN3 as their a smaller capacity engine with better breathing and design. But any V8 is gonna drink really esp when giving them curry

how about the VH41 or 45 ? both making around the 200kw mark (claimed to be more) and high 300Nm and low 400Nm respectively. they go for around the $1500 mark and once you factor in ancilleries it should still be cheaper then a gen3 or xr6t. then thereis the option of forced induction, i think this ...

rb26 - you wont find a good one for ~3k and you dont put one of those into a 4wd rb25 - capacity is getting low here guys, if anything get the efi bits and turbo, mani from a vl turbo and put that onto your rb30. The DOHC head onto the RB30 isnt as easy as people think, theres alot of work involved ...

Im not 100% sure, but id say there is an adaptor kit out there somewhere, the belhousing on most nissans are the same if not similar i *believe* - but as the engines generally come with the auto id just utilise the VH box as its setup for that engine. im not really sure if the box is a smart one (ie ...

pete, for what a new 4.8 is worth its probably gonna be better for you to get a VH41 or VH45. They usually come with the auto and can be picked up for about $1500 (my mate imports all things jap - if your keen pm me) These engines are strong units and would be a perfect swap. If ive still got the ...

Re: Steep.

Just get 2.5 inch press bent - the mandrel bends won't make that much difference on what i presume is a diesel - only hi revving motors really need em.... for $1400 you are better off with press bent 3 inch if worried - extra diameter might compensate for press bends - not sure. My exhaust shop ...

i wouldnt run 1bar (14.7psi) into an engine not designed / tuned for turbo applications. you have tothink about intercooling, extra fueling, timing etc.

or did i just read that post wrong ?
