the best advice I can give you is don't do it. Look at inporting a supercharged VG33ER from the states or do a hot rebuild on yours and put a eaton super charger on it. It will save you heaps of coin and heartache. TRUST ME

scotty, what were the biggest dramas you had with your setup?

 

[LLadnar]

IF! you where going too do a V8, something like a VK45DE or VK45DD would probably be a better option as they are a physically a smaller motor and maybe easier to fit.

What are the VK45DE and VK45DD out off?

smallblock ford windsor is very compact as well and a lot cheaper and easier to mod

Ok I've done a little bit of research on the vk45de and it's a pretty impressive motor!

Do you guys know of any importers that deal with that motor?

No sorry, I did find one once when I was thinking of puttin on in my old D22. Start searching the web mate.

i think that would be interesting to look into!

 

[LLadnar]

As the vk45's are a Nissan motor, I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the states hasn't already done it or even make a kit.

 

[scottybobcat]

No one makes a kit for it. Blokes in the states have done D40's with the Titan running gear. If I was to do it again I would have super charged the v6 or put a 6.0 in a patrol

 

[scottybobcat]

There isn't a kit for them. I would just super charge the v6.

Everyone wants a big engine. The big engine on here is the SEARCH ENGINE, But it must be a myth because no one can use it

 

[Buco]

What's wrong with wanting a big engine mate?
Of there's a search engine but it's always good
To get other people's info on the matter!

His point is that if you'd used the search engine, one of the first results should be a massive build up thread that scottybobcat did when he put a genIII into his nav. Any and all info on the matter would be there... Found with a search engine

VH45's and VK45-56's are pretty wide.

They are Quad Cam V8's. Should fit though as 1UZFE's fit in Hilux's.
