Navara Engine Sawp

Post by Dirt Devil »

I own a 2004 Nissan Navara STR Turbo ZD3 twin cab and I am looking at doing an engine transplant.

The research I have done to date has me leaning towards a Holden Ecotec V6 (supercharged) with auto tranny. Marks 4X4 and V6 Conversions do kits for this transplant. I have been told that this engine will give me 195kw. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Also has any member done, or know of someone who has done such a transplant? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

i don't know of anyone who has done one.
however i suggest you start with the petrol version or at least change over the diffs/axles. the ZD30 powered models have the small C200 and 180 diffs. the petrol version have the bigger h223 (i think it is).

they come out overseas with a supercharged version of the nissan v6 which might be a cheaper way of getting your power.

The VG33E was available with a supercharger and made about 150kw standard.

Wouldn't take much to up the power.

As Tweake said the V6's run the H233B rear diff and R200 front.

Dave.
2006 STR Navara with lots of goodies, just need a V6 front diff and a locker.
