Wait til you meet Albert, aka Zgringo, that is, if you haven't already.

Albert + VH45DETT + Z32 = 300mph

Your car sounds evil man :D

I cant watch it.... gives me funny script all over the page that and its a WMV format.

damn how much hp that beat got?? sounds awsome. you ever run a 1/4 mile with that thing?

450zxtt :grinyes:

Thats sick, sounds agressive as hell. nice burnout

Nice!!! that is a monster!!!


Albert + VH45DETT + Z32 = 300mph


broke, last time i talked to albert, he said that they were going to use a z33 instead because it has a better drag coefficient in the wind tunnel :D

their is a tt Q45 engine out there or was it a regular Q45 engine and u make it a tt

A VH45DETT is something you have to build yourself.

450zxtt site is temporarily down...we are working to get it going again...thanks,450zxtt

Crap... I can't see it! Please Fix!

:) we are fixed!we will take some more pictures and hopefully post them this week...450zxtt

Lost, Welcome to the home of the best guys and cars in the world.

K3 you kinda right. The car were building for the 300MPH run is a VH45 powered Z33, but my project VH45 powered Z32 is still on course and just about finished.

Lost, Thanks bud for helping me make a point. How much do you have invested and how much lighter is your car?

i havnt weighed the car,but i am sure i have not gained any weight...good luck on your project...450zxtt

Do you build the kits to install the VH45DE in a Z32? Lots of owners might like to do such a conversion to bring their cars up to date. The N/A owners would love to have a stock N/A engine that was putting out 340HP.

we will be building kits when some of the owners you speak of express this sort of desire you mentioned.before i started driving this car it seemed there was alot of talk and enthusiasm for this sort of thing...time will tell. :wink: good luck ojn your project

Keep me posted as I have some guys on other sites wanting to make the switch. From your video's you need some skin's on the rear. Watching it just inspired me to get my ass in gear and finish mine. Other than the turbo's what did you do to the engine. I've been told by a few that a VG30DETT will smoke a VH45DETT. PLEASE SET THE RECORD STRIGHT. Give some facts for some support in this.

How much Power in those just as is...? 340HP? Holy-shit! I'd be happy just with the NA engine... lost, ZGringo... PM on more details... I'm starting to hear these engines are cheap (cheaper anyway) to come by? How, what, where, and why (who???) did you TT 'em? I'm QUITE interested!!!! Awesome vid...

George, just so you know I've personally got to be there when some dyno tests were being run on the VH engines and with just a good exhaust and intake well make in excess of 400HP. Now you put a supercharger or a couple of turbo's on one and it's very easy to make 600HP and that is with a stock engine. Try that little trick with a VG and see what it will cost. I'm not putting down the VG, but the amount of money it takes to build one like my 10's street car is in excess of $10,000. My engine has almost $16,000 in it, and thats just for goodies. Now the VH engines well be using for the record run cost $18,000 total, for engine, goodies and what-knots, and makes 1000HP more than my VG30 engines. The one I'll be using in my street car well have a lower boost and well still make 400HP more than my full race car with a VG engine. Personally if I was a owner of a N/A and thinking of upgrading, I would consider a VH engine. If I was a TT owner I'd leave it as is till I wanted to up grade, then consider strongly using a VH engine.
There's many things in favor of a VH swap.
100lbs lighter, 1.5 liters bigger, higher base HP, still in production and if you choose to go all the way, well have a car that well smoke anything with wheels and then some. Figures don't lie.
This is why I want Mr. Lose to inform all just what he has in his engine. I'll bet he has a super exhaust, good intake and dual turbo's, and tons of torque and HP by the looks of his video. The biggest problem I see for this swap is tires. The'll wear out much quicker. There's a guy in Denver with a Z31 and VHTT power that turns in the mid 9's with street tires. Trying to get somemore info and pic's and get him on this site.

Update:

On the site HybredZ Lost says his engine is stock except for the turbo's. I think the results are very good.

Quote from Lost:
the engine is straight out of a 1993 q45,stock.the turbos currently on the car are midsize ballbearing units prepared by reed partridge of turbo specialties,in alabama.i will post some dyno figures soon.thanks for your interest.

You can call me stupid all you want but what Nissan is an VH45DE from?

Stupid....

OK if you insist. Hi stupid.

It's used in alot of things, but the mostly in Infiniti's, the Q45 and such. Do alittle home work and report back to us and tell us what you found out. Then I'll remove the stupid remark.

They used them in the Nissan President (Q45) sedan and limo... maybe the Cima too....?

Stupid....

that is so harsh!!!

Hey he asked... I delivered...

VH huh, how much would you say it would cost to swap a VH into my N/A? Not including labor. I will seriously consider this if the engine is under 3K.

You can get the WHOLE car $3K... something I'm actually considering...

I am considering my dads Titan truck V8....... He wont let me pop the hood with my tape measure and tools in hand. I am SURE it can fit in my Z, I will give him a slightly used VG30DE in trade.

^ Yeah-right! That would be awesome!

It well fit, now all you have to do is be alittle creative and figure out how to make the switch. Hmmmm

How about barrowing the truck one night and pull the engine trans and extras and run the truck off into a very deep lake and turn it in as thieft. jk. Hodo I'm sure if you really talk sweet to your dad he'll give you his engine. Yea, right in a cat's ass. Hertz Donut?

my question is does the VH45 n/a take regular unleaded without being harmed ?

Regular Unleaded? You can't even put that in a NA VG30DE!!!! That is very harmful and I hope you are not doing that to your Z!!!!

ahahahaha, no wonder i have such a slow take off ... well what kind of damage can be caused by regular unleaded .... i dont have a job so money wasted on gas is my parents, im trying not to waste more of their money on my car

As long as your not getting any knocks or detonation it's ok, but the car was designed for 91-92 octane and if you really wanted to save money is the way to go. If you insist or intend on using regular then I suggest you retard the timing 1 or 2 degrees. Not advance, retard.

I would not recommend using anything lower than 91! You are just asking for engine trouble! PERIOD!

how do i check what the local octane is of regular

where ever you pump gas, look on the pump. there should be 2 or 3 nozzles at each pump...right above the nozzle there should be a little yellow sticker that has a number on it. that is your octane rating. if your still having problems, good thing to follow in the US. just put in the best grade you can, premium. that is usually 91-93 here in the US...

i can almost guarantee you when you switch to premium your mileage will go up.. my buddy with a 5th gen prelude (also designed for premium) got 350 per tank with regular grade... bounced up to around 600 when he put in premium... pretty amazing change
