in a maxima???




480hp at the crank but that fact when it does come on boost it is putting just over 650 ft bls of torque to the wheels.

 

I got it, check out my sig

 

.

I know the 1990-1994 Cefiros had a RB20DET, don't think they had the RB30 though...

 

RB30s were only made for australia, only in NA form.
IIRC

 

Yup, kevlo is one of the many that have done the swap, including myself. its really simple...bolt the old engine out, and bolt the new engine in. The difficulty of swaping a rb30 into a maxima is down there with installing clear corners. Simple weekend job. Good luck!

a straight six will fit? Whatl happen if someone put it in a 1st gen maxima.

 

It won't happen. Exotic swap machinations such as this are difficult and take a ton of money. Look through the all motor forums to see what is possible and what isn't.

 

I just finished putting a VK79DET in my car. I now officially run 5's on stock tires.

 

me and kevlo doing that project in my car next

 

Either you boost your vq30 or swap a vq35, or both. I don't understand why people repeatedly insist on trying to make their life so hard with swap ideas that make your brain want to implode. The VQs30/35 are great engines, and a built, turboed VQ35 will put down absolutely ridiculous power levels for less money, so why bother complicated things when there is no need to?

Just wait till Mardi's car is running... you will believe a Maxima can run 10's

 

You've got a VK-what in your max?!?!?

I so don't beleive that one....

 

The RB is an old engine, heavy & big

built RB < built VQ

 

Swappping anything but a VQ in a maxima is stupid and not worth your time or moeny.

 

Why can't people understand this ...

 

You can't be serious.

VQ = Aluminum block, open deck
RB = Iron block, closed deck

All out power, the RB will eat the VQ hands down, for practical uses, the RB gets pwn3d.

But who in their right mind is going to put it into a Maxima ...

 

Beg to differ.
The most ive ever heard of a RB26DET putting down in a race situation is 1300ish RWHP (HKS 180sx drag car). The VQ35DE used in the 350z drag car puts down the same, and its still in early stages of development. Were talking about race motors, they get rebuilt ever couple of passes so streetability is shot. Out of the box the RB is a much better platform for power, but what I said was built, not stock.

 

I heard the VQ35's aluminum block can supposedly withstand 2000 HP. Stock internals around 500 HP (the rods, at least).

But yeah it's a relatively new motor, so I would wait a awhile before stating what it can and can't do.

One thing is for sure though, both motors can put down far more power than it's possible to use in a FWD maxima, and since the VQ30/35 way is far easier in a max, there's no reason to use anything but a VQ.

 

Instead of going in to land, let's stay on topic and simply put, as best as can be stated in the words h2kSPiG
Swappping anything but a VQ in a maxima is stupid and not worth your time or moeny.

 

So the VQ35 with almost 1 liter more displacement makes the same horsepower yet you think it's better? That car has been in development for some time already.
This car makes much more than 1350 ALL WHP http://www.exvitermini.com.

 

No one listens to me

 

I think your forgetting the displacement advantage.

 

So? Unless this guy wants 1500 HP in his FWD maxima (what's that in the 1/4 mile? 3.50 60 foot and 14.50@170 MPH ), why not use a VQ?

 

why even bother discussing it, unless you guys actually thing you can fit a I6 under the hood of a maxima

 

We have it on our list, therefore we must have found credible info on it at some point.

IIRC it was an Aussie that provided me the info to post.

 

Advancement in engine design and technology makes your argument irrelivent. An off the shelf VQ35 block is stronger than an RB equivilent. It has even been said that the VQ block is even stronger than the 2JZ block. And on top of that, the VQ can be machined and re-sleeved with Darton or AEBS sleeves. Doing this makes the engine probably the worlds strongest production based V6 engine.

 

Volvo did it, why can't we?

 

RB= good VQ= good

conclusion to thred:

1000hp in FWD = not good



whats a VRH35ADE?

 

I mean, except for the fact that you do not acknowledge the RB series's ultimate dominance and lordship over all things ever seen or imagined, to which the VQ plays an important but ultimately secondary "right-hand-man" role. That is understandable, as most mortals never even dream of such glory and power.



But yes, 1000hp + FWD is a recipe for disaster. I don't think anyone even makes a diff strong enough to take that.

 

IT IS YOU WHO ARE MISTAKEN

ONLY KUNG FU WILL PROVE THIS

YOUR DISPLACEMENT CANNOT WITHSTAND THE FURY OF INDIVIDUAL THROTTLE BUTTERFLIES AND SUPERIOR ASPIRATION!

 

I stand corrected.
