Show me the craziest S13 swap you can find

[AREITU]

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!

I think there is one with a 2jz in it... Cant remember if it was here or not tho.

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?

[neil_se]

well obviously there are exceptions, like when it has a turbo or two hanging off the side

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.

rb25dett silvia

vg30det silvia

my mate, is using my old engine, making it around 200kw's at the crank (not much, but its remaining NA) before nos, and its going in his s13, its gonna be using 100hp+ nos setup.

[NA_R33]

apparently there is one in brisbane with the same engine im putting into mine, the VH45DE 4.5ltr quadcam bent 8.

[floody]

I'd swap my damaged R31 for a silvia, that'd be a pretty crazy swap!

[rb20-calais]

I saw a car the other day S13 with VG30DET in Sydney, car runs 22psi and has well over 200rwkw. It sounds awesome.

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...

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?
