Well the S14 now has a VG30dett in the engine bay with the gearbox one and all bolted in place. Turbos also on along with p/s pump, alternator, intercoolers, rad and fans. Decided on the paint, painted over most os the original dark purple, I will keep and polish the roof and bonnett in that colour but went for matt white on the rest,

 

What do you think.....

Looking awsooooooooooooome buddy, can,t wait to see it finished

 

See you Sunday

Chris.

I love the S14. I may of missed something, other than your love for Z's why did you put the VG30DETT in there, when it has an SR20DET which is amazing in its own right as standard.

 

Dont get me wrong, but I feel the SR20DET is obviously lighter weight and is heavily tuneable at much lower cost than the VG30DETT conversion plus mods.

 

If it wasnt SR20DET standard, then I get it lol. But otherwise - cant get my head round it.

 

Still, would love to see pics of the engine bay :P

The SR20 in there was dead and I had a spare VG30dett, tubs and box laying about. I have stripped loads and relocated battery, water res and fitted coilys to help with the nose weight and I have one of our carbon bonnets on route so shouldn't be much heavier, The other thing is standard engine, standard tubs with air filter, exhaust and chip and hello 350-380 bhp with no real stress! The SR would need a rebuild and more cash thrown at it to get that power and be under stress.

Now it makes sense lol.

 

Stil cant believe Nissan developed the SR20DET, VG30DETT, RB25DET and RB26DETT at the same time lol Great engineering imo.

 

Would love to see the beast in action when complete. also may have to get some hoses from you soon as one of my top pipes has frayed around the edges.
