hello everyone.

 

dont post much but up for another answer from you all. Still recovering from my weekend up in scotland to buy some tein coilovers what a drive from east anglia!!!! - managed to grab a set throught ebay for 385 quid - some of you may have been watching them. Now all that is left is to fit them along with veilside rear bumper and leather seats and then its on to the engine.

 

Im toying with 3 ideas at the moment - do i keep the vg30 dett and uprate it with gt675rs turbos along with requirements needed? or due i go for an rb26 lump out of a gtr and modify that? or go for a single turbo conversion on the vg30 dett engine? Looked also at the v8 option - BUT for what i want its gonna be the most expensive option (vh45 engine with twin turbo setup from usa) so that idea as kinda been put to the back of my head.

 

Is there any major floor with anyone of the options you could think of or relate to except hard labour + money. i seem to be siding with the 675rs option at the mo, BUT i'm needing help to see if i'm definately going to be making the right decision before i start the job.

 

I also heard if something was to go wrong with any engine that the rb26 would be alot lot easier to work on?

 

look forward to hearing any answer or view from any of you however small?

 

cheers

tbh i don see the benfit swpping it for the rb26 and a single turbo conversion is going to require a lot of manufacturing -hence no one in the uk has done it - i would go the gt675 route with some good manifolds, upgraded injectors and some nice big intercoolers - what spec is your engine ?

so far the engine has full decat system, chipped, adjustable boost. got a 650bhp intercooler on it to hold the future mods - not much done yet - whatever route i take the engine will have benn fully rebuilt with forged rods and pistons. looking at bigger rad either koyo or ashspecz with the above you have mentioned too. i think youve cofirmed it as 675 option does look best to take.

First thing to do is get down to see your Bank Manager and offer them your sexual services in reply for fiscal understanding and large intrest free overdrafts. I'd pray that it turns out to be a slightly frumpy middle aged woman and not a bloke. Otherwise you'll need shares in KY jelly. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

pmsl.

 

personally mate i'd want to do something a bit different. i know JD, Friday and a few others have done the v8 swap but none as far as i know have done a v8tt swap. would be very expensive i know but could be a very cool conversion.

The easiest way to go would be a Crate V8 with tubs from teh states.

You get guarenteed 800bhp, easy repair/maintenance cost.

and no ones done it, becasue it will set you back $20K

 

So now youve seen teh cost, here is the alternative.

 

Upgrade what you have now, should cost you £12K,

 

Now for all thoes who have ntived it, EXCHANGE RATE
