what does it take to get that into a 4th gen

 

money..money...looks like a RWD motor so MORE MONEY

 

every now and then this topic pops up. yea its sad, only engine swap option for us is the 3.5

 

alright thanks i had a feeling it would be too good to be true

 

yeah, by the position of the fan that gives it away that its RWD... i wish someone would convert a max to rwd, thats my fantasy

 

Its been done by this guy on the forums, he put a VG30dett up in der, He keeps braking his axels last I heard

 

You would have to rip that engine apart and put everything into a FWD maxima block.

It might be an easier swap into a Z or 240sz. It does however come with a lot of useful stuff. To use the IM you would have to get a custom hood.

 

Swap into a 240... that would be sick

 

Why couldnt you just buolt it up to the FWD tranny, i thought all of Nissans trannys are compatible from the I4's to I4 V6- V6 and so on

 

Engine bay looks

 

off topic but 350 small block---> in a 280z own and are sick!!!

 

FWD engine is designed so that the flywheel is facing the left tire, RWD flywheel is facing the back of the car

 

it defis possible but alot of time and money.....it would be easier to buy a turbo kit and do it up..PS i think i saw that car at Carlisle in May of 03...if its the same guy...i talked to him for a while about it

 

Theres no room... put it this way. If the engine was facing a RWD direction and your looking at the car from the front to the back... twist the engine around and the turbo that was on the passengers side would now be on the firewall and there sure as hell is no space back there.

 

Why dont you just switch around the turbo setup then?

 

for some reason i dont even see the turbo in that ebay pic he posted. i might swing by there since its close to my house, i wonder if we can buy the manifolds and try to fit that alone to a max. it might make going turbo alot cheaper.

 

then you have to worry if the front manifold will clear the radiator...

Where are you going to switch around the turbo to? In that case you'll then need a different non turbo manifold and custom pipes to relocate the turbos... while you did all that you were better off just turboing your vq
