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:

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
