Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

tweak'e thank you for the information. I will look into the supercharged version of the nissan v6.

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.
