Rgreen Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 No motor is from Lme callies crank rods etc Hinson has the swap kit I was talking to them if they have done a Turbo setup they said no I'm most likely going with 2 jz parts would be easier to get than rb26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgreen Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Would RB be a easier swap and what tranny would I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgreen Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 They are running same setup on race car with 2500 HP I wouldent need that its a little over kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Would RB be a easier swap and what tranny would I need You will run a rb26 with a 25 flywheel and tranny, just like how us 240 guys run it. And dont worry about getting parts, You can get anything in the states now, they are popular. There are 2 places on the west and east coast that keep rb parts in stock at all times. Ive ordered tons and tons of parts and always get them quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 what are you needing 1000hp for? With that type of power why not use a power glide if drag racing is what you're going to do? Have you ever been in a high hp turbo car?

spooling 1g Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I've seen z32's rb swapped and there engine bays are cramped as is so i'd assume you'd be fine clearance wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-O Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 this might help you out a little http://www.sikky.com/view_item.php?id=27&catid=12 http://www.drifting.com/forums/pictures-and-video-clips/26300-chris-milano-new-ls1-turbo-350z-update-2.html AND LOOK AT MILANO MOTORSPORTS I cant see all of it at work but those sites should give you a good idea on what you are getting into if wanting to do a turbo lsx 350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 What am I missing here... You have a 350Z you like the handling but want more power? You are thinking of spending 15K to swap some high stress high headache engine into a car with a suspension/drivetrain it was never designed for? Why not just sell the 350Z and buy a c5 corvette? It already has an lsx in it and I would bet it has a beefier drivetrain than the 350z. I don't know how much 350z's weigh but c5s and definitely the c5z are pretty light- around 3000 lbs so you may need less power. How big of a tire can you fit on a 350z? I have 295s on my c5z and I *think* 335s will fit on stock fenders. You can add a bolt on sts turbo kit for 8 grand or so / blowers for 4-6 / or whatever IPS charges for their turbo setups- tough to tell from their website... All this assumes you are set on drag racing with IRS in the first place.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 ill second the c5 for what you are looking to do with it. space isnt what 350s are known to have so if you were dead stuck on staying with your current car rb or 2jz.

FST94TSI Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Im all about cool swaps but in this case I have to ask why? The motor you took out of the car can make all the HP you want. I rode in one owned by a total shithead faggot that just had a basic bolt-on single turbo kit and it was fast as hell. He didn't really have any supporting mods and couldn't drive for shit and that car accelerated hard enough to make me feel a bit woozy.

boosted98gst Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Who deals with RB 26 parts and who has a swap kit rawbrokerage.com http://www.phase2motortrend.com http://www.frsport.com I ordered my kit thru http://www.sykoperformance.com , hands down the best kit for any rb swap. I ordered mine thru ips and took around 6 months because of the demand for the parts, they are made to order type thing. In my old rb26 coupe I used mckinney mount kit , even tho they are nice guys and run an awesome business, I was not happy with the product. They even set me a differnet set of mounts and with the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this assumes you are set on drag racing with IRS in the first place.... I do not know much about the lsx driveline, but the older nissan sports cars have beefy trannys, all you need is a dual or triple clutch and do not have to worry about it, depending on year of the car. Most the fast skylines and 240sx and Z drag cars if standard are running OEM gearboxes and this is sub 9 second cars. The Rb is somewhat new to everyone in the united states, but people are catching on to the potental. Even the US has a low 9 second nissan running a stock rb longblock and gearbox , and irs. Should just keep the motor in the 350z and let injected performance build it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPys9g4diU0 street car, stock diff and tranny.

Flybye Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Shop smart and drop $15k into the VQ35 and make the power you want. Or just go buy a Supra or an Fbody/Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
