Hey fellas,

Just recently joined on this, and I need a bit of input.

At this very point I am getting a rb26 built to slap in my 2005 v35. Has anyone on here undergone this ? Please educate me if so. On what I may face during this swap over, and what I can do to eliminate any hiccups.

 

thank you in advance

Google it. There's a few builds around, mostly from early 2000's when V35/G35 was newer.

Everyone seems to completely agree it's a waste of time and money.

What would the car be used for? Would you be doing all the work yourself?

Well you can turbo the original engine. But compression on it is always different to get it up and running you’re looking at about 8 plus thousand. So I don’t get the idea of being cheaper! 

 

The RB 26/30 doing all the internals on the bottom end, custom plenum on the head.

fabricating new engine mounts 

Slight fabs for the gear box 

computer/tune 

12g 

With the work that’s getting done I’m looking about 400kw on the rear.

trust me guys not much more expensive then turbo charging the vq35dett engine

@Leroy Peterson as I stated in my initial post, has anyone undergone this process to there v35. I am just starting this process now. I never asked for help just wanted to know if anyone on here has done it.  

My Brother and I, are doing it.

More sense would be to swap in VQ37HR + boost.

well if you going to make such an effort. Why not a VK45DE.

Well, now we're talking about choosing between a much more modern all alloy V6 that is more likely to fit into the engine bay, or a vintage all iron low performance V8 that is likely to be too long, too heavy, too wide.......

You can't be serious. Annihilate all. Watch old yes and no.https://youtu.be/dE76eJjVIac.
To be honest V35 wheelbase platform has far far greater capabilities and stability than any Rb26 could ever offer

They are all alloy engine, that produce 254kw as base. Nismo racing in Super Gt series opt for this motor over the Nissan Gtr VR38DETT.....OH YES YOU CAN MAKE IT FIT.

There has been some with VK56DE (at least in a 350Z), but it is very tight fit and no space left for turbo charging.

I suspect you could extra better performance with a boosted VQ37 than an NA VK, as well as being easier to fit.

Yeah I just thought the original idea wouldn't be worth doing. So just through in the idea of VK45DE

Sorry, was thinking VH with the iron block thingo.  But nevertheless, 254kW from 4.5L is not strong.  VQ37VHR makes essentially the same stick from just over 80% of the capacity.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
