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.

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

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,

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?

      My BMW 335i

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
