these are the specs for both engine:

Type : RB25DET- Inline 6, Twincam, turbo intercoolered NEO
Displacement : 2498
Compression Ratio : 9.0.1
Power : 206 KW @ 6400 RPM
Torque : 343NM @ 3200 RPM
Bore x Stroke : 86.0mm x 71.7mm
Redline : 7,000 RPM
weight : ??

Type : VG30DETT- V 6, Twincam, twin turbo twin intercooled

so what do you guys think? is this swap worth doing?

Can you be more detailled when starting a thread as first of all... why consider swapping a VG30DETT into a Z32 which one would assume IS already in there???

Secondly, the displacement for the VG30DETT has 3,000cc worth of displacement...

i opened this thread to discuss the pros and cons of doing the swap from vg30dett to rb25det neo. because this swap has been done and is quite popular overseas.... just wondering if anyone here have done the same.......

as for the displacement... youre right, its a 3litre engine..

how much does the swap cost? including labour and everything? might wanna take that into consideration? and are you swapping for more power or reliability?

 

[Lah Z32]

trashability... if there is such word.. hehe.. the vg30dett is a powerfull and quite reliable engine in my opinion... but somehow it just doesnt feel that i can trash it around, to hold it steady at 5k rpm in 2nd gear just for fun.... it just doesnt feel like it can survive that. and the turbo lag does take away some of the fun.

i know the halfcut would cost somewhere in the region of 5k... as for the labour and fabrication of parts if any, i have no idea.... please shed some light on the subject....

I think Hardee's mechanic can do that as he once did a 1JZ supra engine in to a z32... that was quite a monster too... maybe you can look at doing that?

I think if you want raw power, the RB would be a better do. Is it a straight fit or lots of mods to be made?

Another option, what I would like to do, is to look for a VQ45DE or VH45 v8 engine, that's another one that has been done before and I have the basic instructions on what do to.

Also, Z-monster recommend looking for VH30DET which he says is a straight fit in to the engine. Single turbo maybe better for playing with power.

We should meet up for TT.... there will be one tomorrow (friday), come join us!
