LOL I was gonan say that but you beat me to it. Aluminum block V8 FTW!
I hope your not going to put this engine in to gain extra functionality. All I have to do for 320wtq by 3800 is turn up the boost.
How much dose that 6spd transmission weigh again?
Good luck, i hope that you will be driving your car more then you are working on it.

HERES PICS OF THE S13 WITH A VG30 IN IT. I MISELF 'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS SWAP -I HAVE THE ENGINE (N/A) SITTING IN MY HOUSE ALREADY W/ ONLY 143k- AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT A WEB SITE ACTUALLY SELLS AN INSTALLATION KIT FOR IT, TRANNY CUSTOM CROSS BAR WIT ITS MOUNTS INCLUDE. IT'S A HELL OF A PROJECT, BUT I THINK THAT PEOPLE MAKE IT LOOK HARDER JUST CUZ THEY DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. WITH THE ENGINE ALREADY IN MY POSSESSION I'M JUST GON TAKE MY TIME DO RESEARCH AND MORE RESEARCH ...AND THEN MORE RESEARCH AND BE WORKING ON IT LITTLE BY LITTLE TILL I FINALLY BUILD ME MY OWN TORQUE MACHINE.

are you aware the ls1 is lighter than the VK?
how much is a fully dressed VQ motorset?
bring some actual tech.
obviuosly you dont know anything other than waht ou read on google.comVQ(S14) said:
yah a stock vg30dett is truly something of monsterous proportions. wahts the wieght of that motor with the turbos and everything? how much power is it making?
definately. it actually requires skills past searching images.google.com and typing on a keyboard.
yah toatally, i mean its jdm yo
quit being a fucking follower you fucking faggot. you wouldnt rather do a ls1, you've stated that several times, youd rather do some ricer ass shit so you can say its jdm
do you even own a car?
VQ(S14) said:LMAO!!!!!!
The Weight diff is not that mutch..............1 pound damn!!!!!!!!!! LOL
hmm.....fully stripped longblocks....hmmm...theres not even a crank pulley on the vq. IIRC a ls1 engine with accessories is 396 lbs.
also i dont think ls1 is lighter than ka.

first of all the LS1 is NOT lighter then a KA, 2nd even IF its lighter then a VQ which i still dont think it is, the weight is farther forward then the VQ, ever since everybody started putting the V8s into RX-7s that when the bastardising of it begain, screw american V8s!!! having an LS1 in my S13 "just cause it makes more power" still dosnt justify it going into my car even a n/a VG with minor bolts on would suit the S13 ALOT better then a LS1.

dude vg is boat anchor. if you said vq id agree, but the dohc design, more moving parts, and the sheer lack of lightweight engineering woudl offset the extra 2 pistons/rods/block of the lsjuan.
some people like myself look at it like this.
this motor wieghs this much, has a badass 6 speed tranny, costs this much, and parts are in stock everywhere for it.
this chassis wieghs this much, has a suspension design that isnt bad, aftermarket out the wazoo.
why dont i put these together and have a badass car.
and those of you that have seen my car keep in mind, when you saw it it had blown headgaskets.
were building a new car at xat soon, it will be 100x better.
and this "keeping it nissan" crap i dont understand. you've got a 10 year technology/time gap here, unless its plug and play which it isnt even close then why does it matter, its the same amount of work either way.
and for ls1 versus vg, which you seem to be arguing, thats not even a comparison.
ls1 has better:
wieght, aftermarket, parts availability, powerband, power, torque, tranny, i could go on
vg advantages:
catches fire more easily.
