Hi, I'm new here and I've heard about some intresting engine swaps and engine combinations come out of Austrailia, like the RB30 with the 26 head, etc. I told my friends and they dared me to ask you guys to show us the craziest engine swaps Yanks have never seen! Show me V8s in S13s or any other work-inteisive but ultimately bizzare engine swaps!

There is one in this thread

S13 Conversion

Where the guy has put an RB25DET into his S13, added a second turbo (making it a DETT) and then replacing the turbos with HKS 2530s. Said to make about 400rwkw. I think that classifies as a crazy S13 swap.

13b turbo, 2jz, 1jz, vg30det, rb26dett, rb25dett have all been done in australia. putting a v8 in would be sacrilege.

Even a twin turbo Nissan 4.5L quad cam V8? :)

Links/Pics please!:)

the last 3 of those conversion have all been performed by TTracing in brisbane. the rb25dett is (as far as is known) australia's fastest silvia, the vg30 is owned by the owner of TTracing but was only completed the night before jamboree so i'm still waiting to hear about it's power and times. his son owns an rb26dett silvia but i haven't heard much about that.

the 13b turbo silvia is also in queensland and is almost finished i think. i have heard of the 1jz and 2jz being done but i haven't seen them and can't exactly remember where.

Already been done... it's in Newcastle/Hunter in a shed (Maitland) except it's a nutso NA one with 8-throttle induction and mega-spec cams. Hooked up to Skyline 5spd 'box and GT-R diff that's been cut-n-shut to fit.

Yet to run more than a few hundred meters as it has problems with gearbox vibration they can't sort out once the car gets over 40km/h

There's also a Supra in Tas with a JGTC-spec 3UZ-FE in NA-trim.

Very cool...:D

Theres a what down here? Can't say I've heard of that beast.

And whats a 3UZFE? I thought there was only the 1UZFE 4.0l and the 4.7l 2UZFE in the Cruisers?

I'll believe it when I see it!

cheers,

floody

The 3UZFE is out of the Japanese Celsior... and I think its the Lexus SC430 in Oz?

Bugger the 3UZFE, someone should put the 1GZFE V12 out of the Toyota Century into a Trueno or an Altezza, cut n` shut, I know but... can you imagine?

    • Man, you guys are like an all knowing encyclopedia.. how do you guys know how to fix everything?? but thanks. i will try to trace this wiring today. What is this globe thing you are referring too? Globe Power Supply? Are you referring to the light bulb?
    • Vinyl paint always ends up coming off interior trim and looking like arse. For the a pillar trims.....just try cleaning them with fabric shampoo? Maybe ditto for the headliner.
    • Hi everyone, I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions   Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat    Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint    Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors?    Thanks
    • As title says  Pm a photo with what u have  Type m style would be good As Hidding a thick front mount
    • Just note that when trying to find a short in a globe power supply, it is best to disconnect the globe as it will allow current through to earth. With it unplugged it is easier not to get confused. Also with the r32 wiring, the high beam has 2 power supplies (one when you push the switch forward and the other when you temporarily pull it back; so if it is the high beam blowing you will need to trace both circuits
