AkumaNoZeta Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have yet to hear anything about this so what would you guys think? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_ZD_engine A 3.0 ltre Nissan diesel turbo 4-cylinder. Are the vehicles that they list have this engine in the RWD platform or are they AWD? I think it may be a nice swap if RWD. You cant deny the performance potential of diesels.

Careless Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'd like to know the specs on the VGT/VNT Turbo used... if it's the same size as the z31 turbo me thinks me have upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 nevermind. the turbos look like T20-25's or something, just like most other VNT's. They must be Air Research turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaNoZeta Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Well...that doesn't tell me if the trucks and SUVs that these come in are RWD or 4WD, lol. I think it could be cool to have a directed injected, performance diesel 4 banger and get what, 50 MPG? If it doesn't THAT much weight to the car of course.

Careless Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 it comes in the el grande, patrol, and other big vehicles and i believe those are RWD and 4WD.. I can check tonight if my internet is working I will post... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAce Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It looks like from what I can find that all the Nissan turbo diesels are longitudinally mounted, so it shouldn't be *that* hard to mount one in a Z, assuming you can even get your hands on one.

Pete84 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Looks like it is a pretty tall motor, with the intake being routed over the engine. Any idea on the engine bellhousing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Looking at the list of vehicles it comes in, It's very possible that it bolts right up to a FS5R30 tranny. I'm a bit torn on common rail electronically injected diesels because I used to service the injector driver modules on them and found them unbelievably expensive to replace........and very dangerous to the guy testing them because they operate at over 100 volts and also have pretty high amperage. They also won't allow you to drive around during the zombie apocalypse because the first EMP will take them out while the old archaic bosch VE pump cars will keep on mowing down zombies through many a nuke.

I don't see the intake being a problem, since you could just route that through a FMIC around front and then into the engine (come to think of it, don't some RBs have a similar intake over the top setup?)
