Motor Swap

ok guys i just recently did a bigend and have 2 options... rebuild or drop in something special. i have an r32 gts4 was thinking the rb25 non turbo and going for a supercharger for a little something different. but i need opinions. out of curiosety (bad spelling) has anyone tried to fit a v8 into a skyline?? any way any input is better than none.

how about a VQ35 V6 out of the 350Z... "Top secret" in japan used one to great effect

VH45DE-SuperCharged

[Big Rizza]

V8 Skylines have been done before. Most common v8 used in my experience is the VH45 engine. But the two best options in the universe are:

1GZFE with big N/A tune (imagine the sound!), or

1GZFE with twin turbos (got torque?)

If you can't do that, then these three are runners up:

LS2 with big cams

20B with bridgeport

VH45DE with supercharger

If you can't do that then these are the last options:

SR20DET since its shorter and lighter than RB20 with equal (or better) power up capability

RB25DET since its relatively easy compared to the others I have mentioned!

Else you could be boring and drop an RB20DET back in . But that would be too predictable!
