that looks good, should be nice and torquey. It good to see the more extreme conversions still happening.

I doubt there are going to be any turbos on the side of that, by looking and the room just some simple headers look to be a stretch, although if they could make the manifold come to the front of the car, you probably could stick one nice big single in front of the engine.

What car is this out of??

The VK56 has a pretty bullet proof bottom end.

These things are out of nissan Titans that weigh between 2200kgs to 2400kg's or so and 15.4 sec 1/4 miles out of the lightweight? 2,200kg ones have been done stock. not bad for a full size truck with a 5spd auto-gearbox. People get them into 12's with a small shot of gas . lose 800kgs or so and how fast would you go? :D

the day my engine is knackered im gonna steal dads 400hp+ 5.7 v8 out his ss and put it in my line, the guy who tunes dads ss has a r33 with 5.7 v8 and he is so quick round barbagello,

That would be the Street Force R33 Skyline, that conversion was done years ago, sounds nice as though.

And yeah that car above with the R34 GTR front end on it would be the twin turbo R34 coupe that is bashing around the Drift Australia circuits.

Also in regards to the VK56 conversion, I've seen a couple of people bash around with the VH45DE motor, which would be the motor series before the VK (which are also quad cam alloy V8's that are also a shit load cheaper to buy) in a couple of nissan platforms.

The main issue with the VH45DE was the height issue, with most people resorting to cutting the bonnet open to fit it in. And also finding that a manual gearbox bell housing would have to be fabricated to fit up a manual box. I believe there is a R33 with this conversion floating around in the Naturally Aspirated section with an auto box. Think it has a blower as well.

There are only two V8's that I would bother putting into a skyline and thats the 1UZFE (4.0l alloy quad cam V8) which I wouldnt bother unless there was some sort of forced induction hanging off the side of it....... or the LS1 which are a tough motor as it is, TON'S of aftermarket support like off the shelf turbo kits and have a variety of strong manual gearbox's to bolt up to it. Not to say also that replacement motors are dead cheap.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion

      So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for

      I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.

      That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!

      I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
