V8 Silvia (Silfiniti)

I've posted this under the more relevant Nissan > Silvia section, however thought I'd slip a quiet crosspost here as well, as I'm also after some help specific to the Infiniti.

I've transplanted a VH41DE into my S13 Silvia and am just finishing it up now, however it would be a great help to me if someone had access to wiring diagrams or possibly even just the ECU pinouts to suit the '97 VH41... Here in Australia we only saw early 90's VH45's and even workshop manuals for those are impossible to find.

In any case, I've posted this here due to the high number of V8 transplant postings that seem to appear in here, so I thought I'd share with you guys some pictures and video of the transplant, available *here* (http://members.iinet.net.au/~dcollins/silfiniti)

Apologies if I'm perhaps too far off topic, I would appreciate any help anyone may be able to give me in regards to wiring...

Go to www.nissan-techinfo.com/infiniti/ and download a manual for a one day subscription. The TSB might be a good idea also, even if you don't have the FY33 platform.

Much appreciated :)

Obsydian,

Please visit http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19677 to discuss your Silvia.

I was just wondering whether you needed to make up engine mounts to fit your vh41 into your silvia? and what other (if any), engineering you did for the conversion?

Really nice project you have there. I am very inspired to drop a V8 in to my S13 (240sx) too.

My Plans:
VH41de or VK45de into S13.
twin turbo it at low 8psi (keeping the 10.5: comp)
for all round usage, drift, drag, street, track
target 550hp at flywheel
auto (with level ten upgrade PTS)
Stock mangaement first follow by EMS

I will work in stages first:
1) get the 100% stock V8 in the car and running first.
2) Level Ten transmission upgrade
3) get it twin turboed at 8psi with stock management. Possible?
4) EMS stand alone


However, I wonder if you could help me out with the following question:

1) Can all Vh41de, Vh45de and Vk45de be fitted into S13 without much problem? If yes, what are the modification needed?

2) Which engine choice is your recommendation? Please advise. I am considering the VH41de and Vk45de.
VH41de for being a shorter stroke hence able to rev higher?
VH45de for having a better internals and 6 speed auto instead.

3) can you email me any photo and details of your prestiage project?

4) How much should I expect for a front cut of VH41de, VH45de or VK45de? do I really need a front cut or complete engine package is enough?

5) how much can the stock internals withstand? 650hp at flywheel?

6) Any guys out there can tell me how the performance will be like? Any one with E/T time?

7) Any others I should take note?

Sorry for the long mail.

Sorry for the long mail. But V8 really sounds good to me.

Hi

You are real lucky to have a V8. Can I ask why a VH41DE over VH45DE or VK45DE ? Any advantages? I am currently still crazy over the V8 idea, however, I will be posted to Thailand to work soon. So, can't proceed with the V8 yet. have to sell my S13 over here instead. However, once I am there, I will try to get another S13 and stuff it with a V8. Believe its better and cheaper to do such stuff there too. could show no mercy over law too. hehehe . As over here, the authorities is pretty strick with modification.

Please keep update on the wiring too.

Thanks

Regards
Derrick

size does count! the vh45 doesnt fit in as they are wider .i believe the extra capacity was gained by increased block height which inturn widens the "v" at the top. also ive found the 4.1 to be more readily available out of japan .besides the4.1 revs higher (on factory comp to make similar pwr figures) and there is nothing quite like the sound of a v8 on the revs.good luck in thailand with your project and still trying to get clarity of numbers on diagram for wiring so i can post it

Thank you. Please keep me updated on the wiring. so 45 does not fit.
Next, to vh41dett the 41, will there be much problem on the engine management? will the stock ecu able to accept it or I will have to go stand alone ?

Once I get to thailand, i will try to source for all the stuff. will you assit me in the project?? hehe

Thank you

dont know if 4.5 doesnt fit s13 but doesnt fit vh commodore without major body mods.with mods you want would be best fit after market e.c.u from start then you can build the e.c.u mods with engine mods as cash/time allows

could you fax me a copy of that diagram, or scan & email, that would be legendary!! ps check pm

Please help, is needed electric diagram on VH41,Ó me is
