: Well I have made the transition....
sinistersntra91 07-08-2007, 09:51 PM Well I gave the turbo BB B13 XE-R to my brother for his first car, and my dad already has a GTI-Rd NX, both of which I built, so getting bored of the FWD no traction game I went on a quest i guess you could call it, in hopes of a pretty N14 GTI-R from a company in Cali, well they were unable to deliver after months of waiting, then I came across this diamond in the rough, a Black with Black leather interior 95 Zenki S14 SE. Story behind it was that it was RB20 powered and right after it was finished it was stolen and stripped of its heart and wheels, and the guy only had liability insurance so as it sits its a shell with full interior, full exterior minus the headlamps, with a clear title. Got a long road trip ahead of me this coming friday, but I am hella excited because the S14 has been on my list of dream cars to build. I cant wait to start wrenching on her I have BIG plans! It will look so sexy with my black 06 Frontier towing a black S14 on a black flat bed trailer back home....oh yeah!

RedDragun 07-08-2007, 10:55 PM That is awesome! I want to find an S14 w/a blown engine but in otherwise perfect shape. I wanna put an LS1 into one.

RedDragun 07-08-2007, 11:49 PM VQ37 from the new skyline?
sinistersntra91 07-08-2007, 11:51 PM VQ37 from the new skyline?
nope forty
RedDragun 07-08-2007, 11:53 PM Custom?
Your gonna turbo it though right?
sinistersntra91 07-08-2007, 11:58 PM of course turbo or SC VQ40 is nothing more than a bored and stroked VQ35, compression ratio is lower making it better for turbo or SC, not to mention its cheaper to get ahold of because its out of a Frontier or Pathfinder not a motor out of a sports car such as the 350z, so buy the VQ40 bolt up a 6 speed 350z trans and drop her in, the VQ40 is strong as hell in my Frontier I cant wait to find out what one will do in a 240.
RedDragun 07-09-2007, 12:00 AM That is going to be a beast!
Can't wait to start on my next project. LS1 S14. If that doesn't work then I may have to steal your idea...
sinistersntra91 07-09-2007, 12:02 AM Keep the motors in the family bro, besides
they already make a mount kit for the vq into a 240
RedDragun 07-09-2007, 12:06 AM Yea but they make a mount kit for the LS1 into a 240 as well.
www.hinsonsupercars.com
Who makes the VQ40 install kit?
sinistersntra91 07-09-2007, 12:33 AM vqswap.com its made for a VQ35 same as a VQ40 just internals are and the VQ35 or VQ40s are alot cheaper
RedDragun 07-09-2007, 12:38 AM You may have just changed my mind... Where to find a 350Z six speed tranny and a VQ40 engine...
Where can I find more info on VQ40's? How well do you think a NA VQ40 would run in a 240?
But do they make a swap for the Titan engine (don't know the engine designation)? That would be even cooler lol.
sinistersntra91 07-09-2007, 05:38 PM you can find the motor and tranny all day on car-part.com, I think it will do great NA in a 240, it pulls hard in my frontier as it is, my friend has seen a titan motor in a 240 he said it was nasty
Taiden 07-09-2007, 05:59 PM VH45DE is also pretty damn sweet, but I would love to have a VQ35DE in there. Just the sound from one of those motors is enough to make the heart flutter.
Lots of sr20forum guys picking up 240sx this summer. Let's make it a point to load sr20forum with great S chassis information. :)
RedDragun 07-09-2007, 06:03 PM What year frontier/pathfinder had the VQ40?
What year 350Z 6speed tranny?
sinistersntra91 07-09-2007, 06:14 PM 05+ Frontier Pathfinder
03+ 350Z
Also the VQ40 puts down more torque than the VQ35 so another plus
graymaverick 07-09-2007, 08:05 PM Great find, I also came across a 96 zenki last week. Its auto but I got a free s13 tranny from someone so when I get the other parts im gonna do a swap. Let me know how things are going.
RedDragun 07-10-2007, 12:16 AM Damnit why arent there any good project S14's (mint exterior and interior) near me!
Good luck on the swap. I think I may do the same some time down the road. You will have to make a write up for the VQ40/350z 6spd swap ;).
