TT350 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi buddy. This is great. Well done. Not to detract but why the 26 swap for a rather conservative 500hp? My TT VQ35DE which has been built will take 700hp. That said I do very much appreciate its all down to personal choice and I embrace individuality.

No chasing figures though. Just gonna build it to the spec I want them see what it does on the dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppoJeff Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Really need to pull my finger out and get this rb swap started so started buying stuff. Picked up this AWP twin wastegate twinscroll manifold up for the swap Hope this gives me the kick up the arse to actually get stuff moving Edited December 3, 2017 by ZeppoJeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well its been almost a year since ive posted on here and all thats happened in the last year was i finished the air and audio install so nothing exciting. Thought id give this thread a new lease of life as i finally prepare to get the rb26/28 swapped into the zed. Away to check out a unit when im home after this trip offshore and its going to be all hands on deck getting the engine and everything stripped out and have a nice fresh bay to get started on...this includes the air suspension as its just not my scene Parts have started to come in from all parts of the world for the build and i can say im excited. So for now watch this space and the next update will be when i finally start ripping the car apart 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great choice of engine too, I’ve had the privilege of a few laps at Donington in a fully built R34 and the engine dominated the experience!! 400-450hp for me is the sweet spot where it is more than fast enough for road use, great fun on track while leaving you free from driver aids to keep it all in check which keeps you “the driver” at the center on the fun too! Reliability comes into play over this too, you’ll break things, melt things and in the real world you won’t be going any faster for the downsides.........and you’ll be terrified by something you’re meant to be enjoying!! Looking forward to following your progress with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Well it’s been sometime since I was last on here. Whats changed? Well me and the wife found out we were having a baby so for most people they would just through down the tools and decide that’s the project never going to happen now. Me on the other hand saw it as a challenge to get the car finished before the baby is here...haha This may be because we had already pulled the engine and sold it on when we found out...doh So since last update got a big new lockup so it’s been all systems go. Old VQ got taken out and sold to Clark motorsports and now Chris at tarmac own it. Test fitted the rb26 and it fits...woop woop Now the engine has been stripped and sent away to the machinist to get some work before the forged rebuild starts. I know every one loves photos so here’s some to sink your teeth into until the next wee update. Edited March 25, 2019 by ZeppoJeff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 How difficult are you expecting the rest of the engine swap to be? 450bhp in a 350Z feels plenty fast enough. I never got bored of that much power when I had my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
