these came in an awd Y32 cima, Q45 infinity and nissan atlas truck in the US.

VH45DE:

Forged steel crankshaft.

- Forged steel connecting rods.

- 6 Bolt main bearing caps with studs.

- Full-length main bearing girdle.

- Lightweight, floating pistons with molybdenum coating.

- Sodium-filled exhaust valves.

- Cross-flow cooling system.

- Hydraulic lash adjusters.

- Single-row silent timing chain.

- Coil-on-plug ignition system.

- Lifter buckets ride directly on cams to reduce friction.

- Redline of 6900 rpm, Or 7400 RPM's with a modified ECU.

- Compression ratio of 10.2 to 1.

- Bore of 93 mm and stroke of 82.7 mm.

- Dimensions: 890 mm(L) x 740 mm(W) x 725 mm(H).

i was gonna throw one of these in the s14a, but am havn second thoughts after being my mates LS1 powered silvia. scary stuff lol.

i brought this topic up last year. VH41DE retains VCT so is also a good consideration. any thoughts ppl? kgo...

or better still, put a VQ25DET into your stagea :P

also, that engine in the pic looks like its setup for transverse configuration and you may need new manifolds. unless the coolant plumbing is very unique

i agree with Zei201.

fail. dont you mean N/A 3.5 from a M35? :thumbsup:

and even then it wouldnt produce the torque of a 3L or V8 unless you + T. fyi that is just a prototype pic from nissan. it came in rwd and awd configurations iirc.

VH45DE 393NMs@4000

VQ25DET 410NMs@3200

killjoy. lol. as if this is gonna be a standard build. :nyaanyaa: the long run potential with a VH45DET is much greater imo. aiming for around 600hp or more. a variation of this motor was highly developed for indy car in the US.

havent seen many high power VQ motors unless supercharged. jus sayn.

Edited by dirtyRS4

I havent seen many either, its not as common as the VH45DE, it also didnt come out in the states so doesnt have the modding support. that said, there are high powered ones in australia, the titles of those threads start with M35 so you probably didnt read them (no offence intended) and supercharging isnt all that, doesnt give you enough on the top end

is there enough room in the engine bay for the VH? looks like a wide V. whats the angle?

it does fit easily with minimal fabrication. do we have to have this conversation about, " you just cant substitute cubes." and do you really think your M35s are high powered- sif? very rarely do i see you guys forge your motors, running a heap of boost and waiting for detonation. lol, 3.5 manual n/a has much more potential than strapping on a big turbo, mani and injectors on your 2 tonne grandpa mobiles. (offense intended.)

Edited by dirtyRS4

my two tonne grandpa mobiles certainly leaves my sisters 350gt (with a VQ35DE) for dead.. and its not even tuned yet, running the standard ECU

who says grangdpa's are slow?

so it should, but how bout a 3.5 + T. thats my point, lets be crystal clear.

and your fantastic point is?? thats a good photo of you mate. you should just be in your M35. lolski.

Edited by dirtyRS4

i didnt say into the stagea, you mentioned an S14a. S15 would be a better chassis anyway, but either chassis youll ruin the weight distribution.

look mate lets stay on the subject. from wot i have read is a VH41DE has a 56.4% weight distribution ratio in a 240sx. so a VH45DE cant be much more.

back on subject, any reasons why not to put both these motors in a S14a or stagea. some VH or RB info would be appreciated. dirt cheap in the US atm.

Hahaha, there goes dirtyRS4 doing what he can to start arguments.

Of course a 4.5L with a turbo or two strapped to it will give more power than a 2.5L with a turbo.

600hp? No problem on a VQ25, VQ35, VK45... how much cash you throwing at it?

Hell, even old tractor engines can do 600hp with enough cash thrown at them.

There's a 2wd C34 Stagea in town with a VH41DE and there are a few skylines running them as well. I'll try to find some pics and also have a link to "how to" do it.

Have a look in this thread:

http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61576

CCubed who do the R34 kits for stagea's and made our (crappy) roof rails was working on a AWD V8 I think it was the 4.1. The plan was to either single or twin turbo, can't remember. target around 800hp.

I am pretty sure he got to the custom fabrication stage mating the block to gearbox and engine mounts etc.

I am pretty sure he has given up the idea putting it in a stagea or GTR.

He was mainly devel0ping it for his other passion of race ski boats, where lots of power is needed for long periods of WOT. Not many 800hp++ engines can last long going flat out

Give Andrew an email and see if it has developed any further.

It may save you some time.

600hp? Thats no reason to change the dinosaur engine you have. lol.

Im almost there with my VQ25. The VQ35det im currently building would have more potential than your chassis can handle with a much lighter engine than the VH.

havent seen many high power VQ motors unless supercharged. jus sayn.

Your right- VQ35 is a sissy motor. Can't handle more than 1800 or 1900hp...:action-smiley-069:

clicky link

I think you'd have more success with a VQ35, due to the aftermarket parts variety. Very well supported- almost as much as a John Deere :whistling:

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
