I detest wrong info and he posted wrong info. I have nothing more to say on that subject and will continue to post info that I know or have acquired.

I am now finally getting back to it. After several years of research and analysis I came to the conclusion that while the HR could be installed it required modifications I did not want to make. Given that a REV UP is close to a HR in Horse Power. Given that with mods you can get good power out of it and its a very inexpensive setup it just made more sense. I am more interested in having a legal 300 whp swap and a running car. Then having to modify everything under the sun and spending more time to make it work. Props to the people that have put HR's in. Hood clearance issues are major unless you modify your crossmember. To me modifying the crossmember is not ideal. It actually does not comply with several sanctioning bodies for motorsports as well. Yes you could space your hood up and run a scooped aftermarket hood again these are not ideal choices to me. On to the Chase Bay car, It looks clean but I am concerned about the fact that the Mckinney kit manages to make you cut your trans tunnel to clear the shifter. This is the first time in all the swaps I have seen that I have seen this. Again in my mind this is not ideal. Ideal would be a install that does not require modifying crossmembers or cutting trans tunnels. That is my goal and I will keep you guys informed of progress as I will not be holding back on. Oh and for the HP needs I am after a REV UP should be just fine as well. Granted its not quite as cool as the HR but it will be dope.

Yay! That's the motor that makes the most sense to me too.
Now, for you guys who understand thermal dynamics, exhaust pulses & tubal exhaust construction; can you give an idea of how the Mckinney VQ swap headers compare to the SG Motorsports headers? I know the SG's won't fit into our cars (hell, they may not even be in production anymore), but I wanna get a sense of what it'll take to match their performance & sound. Are the McKinney's even remotely comparable? |

And yes, you can point at a select few builds where they made quality NA gains. However, I stand by my statement that the VQ isn't a great motor for big NA numbers, plain and simple. Buy a LS1 if you want NA numbers. I wanted a unique project while using a Nissan engine to keep me in a street class for SCCA. The class I run, street modified, is 1800lbs min weight + 200*engine liters (- 200 lbs for 275mm tires or smaller). I really think the VQ can be competitive for me, power per liter it certaintly puts down great numbers. Like I said, I couldn't be happier how mine has performed. I can't wait till I get my car down to 2300lbs with 320+ rwhp. |

Must be shitty to live in a state that has the best weather for cars, but the most strict laws. If Big Brother would stop harassing all you enthusiasts out there they could probably save a pretty penny. My 240sx doesn't get any kind of emissions check in MO (because it's OBDI) and I just passed safety without a cat. conv. (that last part should not happen, even around here, but the inspector just didn't care). Other places where it is more rural don't do emissions at all, probably because it is too expensive. I will get off my soapbox and get to why I really posted here: You say the only reason for this swap is to be legal, I think there are plenty more then just that. The VQ is 3.5 pistons long, instead of 6, 4.5 or 4, which can help it sit slightly further back in the engine bay than a RB or JZ, SR, V8. It is also lighter then most of those engines which helps even more for weight balance. I would also trust its' reliability over a few of the later as well. Maybe you don't want a power overload, maybe just enough to get around the track with no problems but not too much to destroy a set of tires in 2 laps. Kansai Drifter, i think?, can attest to this. I have watched all his videos and he kills it in his VQ s13. Oh, and the sound is pure sex imo, i think someone called it exotic earlier There is good info in here so keep it up! sorry for the long post. XD |

I am going to bump this very old thread in hopes of finding out if anyone has actually finished their swap.
Also if anyone has BAR'd/CARB Legal swapped the VQ into their car. So far, searching brings up... absolutely nothing. Just a bunch of speculation and still no real clear answer about the return/returnless fuel system discrepancy. |

i was reading about ls swaps and i stumbled across something similar to the vq manifold issues. the manifold on the ls hits the steering as well and you aren't aloud to fabricate a custom one due to it not being oem. someone mentioned that as long as emissions are in place you are fine so you can have a custom manifold on fabricated to fit in.
