    Got my new motor today :)

    Id love the fact that someone could document this swap because its a dead given that this engine is better deal then an RB26 here in Canada and RB26 is 3000$ plus 1500 more for the GTS tranny and then you need to rebuild because those babys dont get good treatment useally . I made a rought cost without labor for a Build VQ35 with Sleeves,rods,pistons two used T3/T4 custom manif. gaskets ARP studs and hardware , clutch kit but no exhaust and i get around 8500 $ and good for 600hp++ easy to make that much on an RB considering the disponibility of parts and tuners that works those engines it would take more to make as much on an RB . 8500 $ can be less if you have good contacts on parts etc. its my 2 cents ... i really think the VQ is the engine made to go in a S30 its new meets old .

    Good to see people getting some interest in the VQ swap ! You will probably be done before me i just got the motor no tranny form a 2005 350Z cant wait to start fiddeling with it . Too bad i dont have the cash to start building it . Their is a great article on NICO on how to do twins right the first time (turbos you perv's) go check it out its pretty well written .

    Skyline R200 question

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    I have a R32 GT-R rear diff and half shafts. They are the 6 bolt evenly spaced half shafts on the inboard end, and the splined stub axle on the outer end.

     

    I have removed the diff stub shafts and compared them to a regular long nose R200's diff stub shafts, and they are different spline count (smaller). So, to be able to use the R200 CLSD carrier out of the short nose GT-R diff, you must use the diff stub shafts that come with it, or find a pair of larger spline count diff stubs from another LSD (maybe VLSD stubs?)

     

    The easy way to use the R32 GT-R short nose CLSD is to make a diff nose mount to accept the short nose diff, then do the modern motor sport R230 axles (since they are for the 6 evenly spaced bolt pattern, same as R32 GT-R short nose CLSD).

     

    Now, do I have you nice and confused.... :hs:

     

     

    Yeah mostly lost in translation . I dont get the

    to use the R32 GT-R short nose CLSD is to make a diff nose mount to accept the short nose diff
    part but the rest seems easy its to use the Q45 axel mutants and use that instead ...:ugg:

    KA with 280 clutch

    That on a L28 right ? I was wondering the same thing if a 240sx clutch would fit on a L28 .

     

    EDIT= I just checked ATC website and their heavy duty pressure plate has the same part number (SKU: 83705500095) and Centre Force has the same part number for both their kit (225mm) on 240sx and 280Z L28 equiped . Good to know !

     

     

    Further searching told me that SR20DET clutch are 240mm and KA24DE are 225mm

    I tried bleeding the brakes and its my first time wasted half a gallon of brake fluid and its still not working . A freind a work asked me if i inverted the calipers like they say the right on the left and etc , i said i did then he told me thats your problem the bleeder is at the bottom and needs to be on top . I felt stupid for a couple hours . Im gonna switch them back on their original side left on left r on r and try it again .

     

    Dunno if its installed right the bracket ears are towards the front of the car .

    Does anyone know what this is??

    No need to worry hook it up check the comp ratio on all cylinder and and change ALL fluids and a new timing belt ,and a new head gasket . Those engines are pretty stout if well maintained , if one of the cyl. is not compressing in the FSM specs open up and rebuild it .

    2JZGTE vs 2JZGE

    in Toyota L6 Forum

    Posted

    There main differences between GE and GTE longblocks are:

     

    - heads - GE and GTE heads have the same combustion chamber capacity, but they have different intake and exhaust ports, and the GE intake cam drives the distributor, whereas the GTE has COP ignition (if I remember correctly, it takes the signal from the crank pulley sensor)

    - intake and exhaust manifolds - GE has a crappy intake with throttle placed sideways over the valve cover, not good for making power. GTE manifolds won't bolt up to the GE heads because of the different port locations (is that the right word?) and differently placed studs

    - headgaskets - GE has a thinner 0,2mm, while the GTE has a 1,6mm

    - pistons - GE has taller pistons that bump the CR slightly

    - oil squirters - GTE has them, but the GE doesn't

    - electronics and misc stuff - the injectors and AFMs are different, but I don't know the details, since I'm planning on throwing every possible restriction away

     

    Wedge, I've seen some photos of GTE head swaps on GE blocks, have you got any photos of GE and GTE block differences to prove that it is impossible?

     

    No i dont its what ive been told when i asked once in the past on another forum :-(.

    2JZGTE vs 2JZGE

    in Toyota L6 Forum

    Could someone outline the primary differences between the turbo and non turbo 2JZ longblocks? I've found a 2JZGE swap with transmission for $800 locally, and am contemplating it.

     

    I've read that the GE head doesn't flow as well as the GTE. Can a GTE head bolt up to a GE shortblock?

     

    Are there any differences in the rods and crankshaft?

     

     

    Obvious differences:

    Intake Manifold

    Distributor vs COP

    Pistons

    Cylinder Head Casting

     

    GTE head cant go on GE because the oil passage and water gallery are diffrent . Both the blocks are diffrent .

    I've been looking around for a cheap Tremec transmission since yesterday. I found one about 5 hours from me for 500 bucks obo (Tremec T56). I don't know much about these transmissions, except for the fact that they've been used in many high power applications. Only problem I see with them is most of them have incredibly low 6th gear (0.62 or 0.5), which would be nearly unusable at highway speeds.... Even if I was going for top speed, I don't think my little V8 would be able to push it. Not really a big deal, the 6th gear would be nice to have for the flat plains of west Texas.

     

    EDIT: Found quite a few TKO-500's near me, sub-500 bucks (Ford version). Can someone give me an idea of a decent price for one?

     

    It has to be a Chevy one to work with the 1UZFE or the the input shaft wont be of the right dimension .
