rb26dett(skyline motor) in a 350z.

 

Damn..... That is impressive. Is it just me or does that engine bay look a little narrow?

 

Yeah, it was close, but we made it work. The swap is going well, figured I would let you Nissan guys, know some new news.

 

wow thx for the news! all i gatta say is holy ****..and ur right it is a bit narrow, then again the car in general is pretty small. time to save those pics=)

 

holy hell...that is awesome....

 

Dam ........I can't believe you fit that in there. Are you going with a single turbo upgrade or staying with the twin? show us a picture when you get the turbo(s) in there if you could I would love to see that. You have 100% props from me .

 

single turbo is coming soon

 

Lookin' good. The inline engine looks like it has plenty of space on the sides of a V6 engine bay. If you ask me though, I'd rather stick one of those in a G35, and turn it into a REAL skyline.

 

I wonder how this will affect the handing since it's no longer front-mid engine. Also what would you say is the weight difference between the VQ and the RB?

 

i'm confused as to why you would do that. i think the VQ is a better engine than the RB. i mean, its got the same hp rating, and its naturally aspirated.



what angle do the two banks join on the VQ?

 

it may have the same HP, but the RB can handle alot more power. just upgrade the Turbos and the Intercooler and you will spank any VQ

 

How would you know this? The VQ is just starting being tuned by the aftermarket.

 

the RB has been proven, until someone proves the VQ, im sticking to that

 

In the meantime don't make conclusions based on zero information.

 

your so mean but, until greddy or Blitz whichever one is making the turbo for the VQ gives me some numbers, Im sticking to my opinion. But lets see what happens from the a stock RB26DETT vs a trubo'd VQ motor and see which holds up better.
