V8 Vh45De Into Stagea

[XRATED]

You have got me thinking about this instead of the Rb26 600hp tractor motor I am building

have done a little research

The 4.5 internals fit into to 4.1 block with enogh clearances etc.

Found this info on a R32 gtr AWD with VH4.1. The guy is in Australia and is/was on here (Skycat) but has not been online for a coupls of years. He did have a Advan as a contact and his real name in his profile. Track him down for all the info.

Skycat- is Peter from Advan Performance. Top guy... He was selling gearbox/engine mount kits and gearbox adapters to suit vg30 and rb25/6 gearboxes. He ended up getting an awd vh41 into an r32 gtr.

Cheers

Few pics in this thread

Looking at the pics it looks like turbos will have to be mounted foward of engine as they will not fit between engine and strut towers??

This will creat alot of other drama's moving everything out the way.

Maybe best keep NA.

I will keep searching.

What year are these engines? Not sure if they can be made legal esp if they are older than the stagea's???

One of the main reasons I am not going Rb30

just remembering the last conversation i had with you Darrin. went something along the lines of keeping your car legal in all states so the RB30 build was off the table and it would be better to stick with a RB26. i bet you mouse is hovering over the bid button on import monster for a VH isn't it

Bam!! this just made my day. yanks have gotta be good for something. lolz

Note: half way down reference to a guy in Tassie, iirc someone has done one on this forum with a R32GTR. i thought you were going rips build pintaline?

AWD Cima

yep, still the plan, as soon as i sell a torana ill be starting to piece it all together. but where do you go from an RB30 if you ever feel like going further? a VH conversion would be a nice step up.

Just been having a read about Power Enterprise, a Japanese tuning shop who also have a base in the US. AS well as building the twin supercharged and twin turboed GTR they also do twin turbo kits for the VQ35 which with the forged rods and pistons they also supply plus the chipped ecu can offer 450 -650hp off the shelf (well I guess there is a little additional work)!

This is the thought I had years ago, only problem was I had just finished the 26 conversion. AWD is a big job not impossible but not easy either, I was looking for quite a while for an awd front cut but no luck. I would do a rwd vh45 conversion and even keep it auto, I have driven a few vh45 powered cars and I love them, by far the best nissan motor I have driven for street duties. There are a few cheap complete cars for sale at the moment (Q45) if I had room I would by 1 and keep it till I found a good car to convert. Oh and they were made up till 2002 so in Qld you can convert upto 2002 cars without drama, friend has 1 in a vx monaro lol
